Can you please explain this dream: Last night, I had a dream in which I saw that a negative force, like an old man, was attacking my grandmother, and the priest said that the effect of the ritual performed earlier with a Muslim man was diminishing. Then the priest said we would have to perform the ritual again. Preparations for the ritual began, and I had a small baby in my lap. I was trying to tell my family not to get involved in this and to chant God’s name instead. They brought a chest from inside. Initially, it wouldn’t open, but when they finally opened it, vegetables came out, and it seemed like those vegetables had been inside for many years. The vegetables turned into plants, and they were very fresh. There was a chili plant among them. Then my little sister and I went outside to plant it. There, we found a lemon plant with tiny lemons on it. My sister changed it and put some wooden support around the plant. When I checked it, the lemon plant broke from my hand, and I cried a lotš.

Alok da, how to make children aware of the false narratives that goes aroundš ? Like when I was in school and studying in a Christian school I serious thought that Hindus were responsible for all the riots and killings in the 90ās as they demolished the Babri mazid…

Dada why I am behaving like a stupid. I can’t find out my way. Somewhere I listened that only reciting of the Mother’s name is enough for the starting of new journey towards transformation.

Why we areĀ trapped by affection and love by our family members, relatives, friends and all these things. What is our true relationship with them.The Mother and Sri Aurobindo brings this eternal victory against death. That is death of death and manifest the Supramental being. Savitri didn’t let Jamaraj to bring Satyavan take with him. She could not bear his death, she fought against death and got victory against it. Is it possible to all human being. Can they also achieve it? Death is the necessary thing to learn and to grow up. But why immortality should manifest? Lots of questions arises in my mind Dada. What should I doš«¤?Ā

What’s the precise definition of Divine according to Sri Aurobindo? How will the human mind totally bereft of all premonitions will conceive the Idea Divine? If absolutely there are no Scriptures of any religion, no ideas of any God or anything at all, how will one start his way of understanding The Divine and experiencing his connection with The Divine? If Divine is all, then it should be possible to know The Divine without any aid.
The mind bereft of all conceptions of the Divine will yet conceive something or someone as the Highest , the Origin, the Source of all
Alok da, when Sri Aurobindo came back form England his father had died but did he meet his mother after coming back š¤?
Yes. But she was in very poor psychological health.
Because as soon as I started reading The Garud Puran, the way it describes the hell, and how Yamadoots take souls thru the hell, I could not read anymore, because that is not the way my understanding has formed after my other readings. Yes, we have to resolve our Karmas, but the way Garud Puran describes it, I was not sure those Souls will learn anything from it, may be they will learn that what I did was wrong, and I should not do it again. But that is not resolving Karma, the wronged sides totally left out. But then again, I did not read further as I didn’t agree with it, may be it mentions the wronged side later onš¤Ø.
Puranas are not considered as supreme authorities. They belong to the class of Scriptures called Smriti. The authentic scriptures are the Vedas, Upanishads, Gita. They
I have a question about my father that Iāve been meaning to ask since he passed away some months back. Today, in a meditation on the psychic presence within, I saw him with his usual wide smile. I have been wondering how he is and where he is as he passed away in great pain and not sure how the passing was for him since he refused to discuss matters of the afterlife that I tried to bring up with him to prepare him. He was such a vital personality that I canāt imagine heās no more with us. Is this a sign that he heās now in the psychic worlds? I wanted to know how his life review was for his soul and if he was at peace with his passing as he was a real karmayogi. Iām still coming to terms with his passing in my human way.Ā I have also prayed so much for him and put him in Motherās arms. Was she with him when he passed over? Is there any message from him to me?š
