Is “go with the flow”🌊 a good or bad trait of this generation?
For the moment this idea of going with the flow is needed to break the old patterns before the new can emerge. The risk however
Alok da, what’s the best biographical work on Sri Aurobindo that covers various phases of his life🧐? Should I bother myself with the biography written by Peter heehs?
Peter Heehs biography is, in my view, misleading and diabolic. I have already written much about it earlier. There are several beautiful biographies from which
What do you think about the mindset of people who find happiness in buying materialistic things like branded shoes and clothes, justifying it by saying that these purchases motivate them to earn more money, to do more work and to feel good for the job that makes it possible😯?
I find it quite primitive. Only the primitive man finds joy and comfort only in his bodily and vital comforts. The ancient scriptures called it
Nowadays Adultery is very common we see that people live with someone have affair with someone else so do other counterpart should accepts blindly whatever is going on by justifying the act by saying Yeah matter is imperfect and human being are very limited containers they can’t hold love for long😣.
There has never been an age of mankind when adultery was not there. However as Society is moving towards the individualistic Age and with the
Some devotees of the Mother suggest that when we are in her presence, we shouldn’t pray to other gurus or gods or perform any unnecessary kuldeiva pooja. Coming from an orthodox family, this can be challenging. Why is it advised not to follow other practices? Does this relate to energy levels😳?
It is best to be one-pointed in Bhakti. That brings best results for inner progress. But when we pray to different deities then it brings
Why does disease happen in the body in spite of taking all care, eating healthy, doing exercise etc.? How can one cure oneself without seeking medical help or relying on it totally? Does body respond to self-healing? How is it done🤔?
It is a vast and complex subject given the number of factors involved in health and healing. For instance too much care of body may

How can I develop unwavering faith😕? Living away from Pondicherry, I don’t have access to a Mother’s center, and I have no communication with other devotees except through social media. This makes me feel very isolated on my spiritual journey
can understand this genuine need. Perhaps it is one of the reasons why we see certain internet groups that have come up where one
My ideology for Relationship and Marriage is very much changed after turning towards this path. I think this should be beautiful and harmonious and there should be some common ground between you and your partner. But friends and relatives outside usually say u need to do adjustment in marriage or relationship because nobody is perfect. I think if we need to do adjustment only or just for the sack of doing it then what is the sense i think its better to live single rather then doing adjustment😫.
Whatever may have been its high origin in the Vedic age when Rishis and Rishikas came together for a greater purpose, marriage has become today,
Why is Mother’s symbol round? And not any other shape like triangle😏?
Round indicates fullness, wholeness, all-encompassing, all of which apply completely to the Mother. The other reason is that it is the view of a flower
What does Sri Aurobindo mean by life energy. I had understood that soul is life energy and Vital is our desires, Is that right🤔?
Soul is the divine essence and not the life energy though it is commonly mistaken for that. But the life energy in an individual is
Can you please explain the Russia and Ukraine war, who is right and who is wrong? Who is fighting for Dharma and who is the Asuric force😐?
Wars are far more complex than individuals or small tribal clashes. The issues involved are many and hence it is often difficult to decide where
In your talk I came know that the initial translated book Prayers and Meditation by Sri Aurobindo was a very special as The Mother herself distributed the Self signed copies to some disciples and today I realised the immense value so I request you to guide and write to me🙏.
It is a beautiful Grace. To receive a book signed by Her, especially Her…
My husband had a habit of trading in the stock market, which caused us to lose a lot of money earlier. We worked hard to pay off the debts, but I feel he has started trading again. He also pretends to go to the office, but HR confirmed he hasn’t been coming. Whenever I try to talk to him, we end up fighting, and he doesn’t give me clear answers😪.
It is an addiction, an obsession so to say and hence very difficult to get rid of unless there is a sincere will to get
Alok da, I’ve once heard you say in one of the talks that a disciple who was away for sometime to study or something was surprised to see Sri Aurobindo’s hair and skin texture changing when he came back. I mean obviously not anywhere near to Sri Aurobindo’s tapas but are any little alchemical changes possible in our body when we offer all the daily acts at a minute level cos this does require us to be mindful of all the psychological states and physical inclinations and the identification and carrying with them in a state of exclusive concentration lessens and what people usually observe about stress reflecting in someone’s face and texture might not if this is the case. I don’t wanna reduce yogic practices to the desire of gaining some mere physical beauty or anything but that comment of yours was in mind for a long time and made me thinking about physical impacts of spiritual practices🤨.
Yes it was Shri AB Purani ji who noted the marked change in Sri Aurobindo. In those who sincerely take to the Yoga some changes
Why did divine not directly made supramental why such a long journey😅?
It is almost like expecting a child in the womb fly an aircraft just because the parents are pilots and want the child to become
Shakti – the divine mother is said to be omniscient, omnipotent and benevolent so why do we need to pray and worship her for invoking her grace? What stops her from showering her grace spontaneously on each one in need🙄?
It does act spontaneously if you look at the vast array of creatures. The animal doesn’t need to pray to get helped. Mechanisms are created
Alok Da, what is the evidence that there is rebirth and how do you know in each life you progress? They say you have to discover your soul but how do you do that and how does discovering your soul lead you to understanding if you had a different life? Also you do lose your body and all your relations, how do you know that you are going to have a next life and if you will then it won’t be a bad one. Why must one leave this world? Why so imperfect body? If the Divine grace makes everything possible then is there just tiniest chance that in this life itself one can transform into a superhuman and why shouldn’t one be afraid of death and disease🙄?
Wonderful question. The whole universe is governed by two laws and processes of Time that complement each other. First is a constant forward movement of
