How many languages Sri Aurobindo had known ? Out of those how many were foreign and how many Indians ☺?
Though someone whom I could trust once told me that he knew some 30 languages or so (this however could be due to different dialects
I had a question on a particular phrase in Savitri 🕊. “The universe is an endless masquerade: For nothing here is utterly what it seems; It is a dream-fact vision of a truth Which but for the dream would not be wholly true, A phenomenon stands out significant Against dim backgrounds of eternity;”What exactly is a “dream-fact vision of a truth”? Either we have dreams, or we have facts, two different order of realities.
To think of the language of Savitri, it feels like Sri Aurobindo has stretched the bounds of the finite to the utmost, by capturing the
I am unable to get rid of the bad experience which my ex gave to me. It continuously remains in back of my mind😖.

Will the Mother get angry if I pray to other gods? I understand that she is a divine being, unlike humans, but I often feel guilty about it. Why do I have these feelings😥?
Why should She get angry? All is Herself. The gods themselves are Her children though She has a very special affection for mankind. In any
Can you please share something on Subhash Chandra Bose, I think he was a overrated freedom fighter. What was he thinking by going and shaking hands with Hitler? Why people have made so many movies and stories on him🙄?
Subhash Chandra Bose, though a man of courage was moved by ambition and a kind of sentimental idealism to which such natures are prone. No
I think my aspiration has switched off📴, please help me get back on track. No matter what I try, I’m unable to make sustained efforts to change myself.There was a phase not too long ago when I would eagerly read Mother and Sri Aurobindo, listen many talks on youtube channels whenever I get even a little bit of free time. But now..
These phases come to everyone. Possibly there was an over eager effort on one part but rest of the nature was unable to keep pace.
If Asuras 👿and Devas 😇, good and evil souls all have to reach at the same goal with or without consciousness or other efforts then why one has to put so much efforts like surrender, sincerity, remember and offer , atmosphere, presence, discipline, punctuality? Can’ t one go through only faith wherever I am and whatever I am…with lot of defects and even full of ignorance. Divine will take me to my real and destined goal?
The Asuras and Devas do not reach the same goal. They both reach the Divine, which is a different thing. The Asuras are dissolved in
These days I am letting too much of clutter affect me in terms of persons, their behaviour and thoughts, my feelings and thoughts – all that hardly have any importance. What should I do😯?

How can I make sure that my ego surrender is to the Divine only and not to other people😖? I feel a lot of courage is needed for this that I am unable to muster many times.

‘A silent spiritual revolution’-An article written by Alok Da 🙏
The theme of your book is very interesting and contemporary. We are living in times when human thought is reevaluating the past and assessing its
How does one let go of things from the past😫? Things that didn’t work out the way we would have “hoped”, people we didn’t get to know well that maybe we wanted to, or regrets about actions that we would have taken differently today?And how does one stop daydreams or indulging in fantasies that do not have any basis? I’m stuck on an idea of someone from the past and cannot get them out of my head. I offer my feelings up to the Mother and just let it be… is that the right approach?
First thing that we need to understand is that the ‘mistakes’ that happened and yet may happen are not because there is something bad in

Alok da, we are learning about Ghandhi ji in school which is very boring and I can’t wait when that boring 😜 book gets over but I have a question he use to not drink cow’s milk because cow would get hurt, then why was he drinking goat’s milk? I don’t understand when he does not understand this how is he the father of the nation?
Your question is very logical but unfortunately Gandhi ji, for whatever other good qualities he may have had was not a logical man. Or rather
Sir, I think you missed to explain 🙄last part of the sentence (but still it has a real power and significance) yesterday.
