Sri Aurobindo was critical of Subhas Bose for his support of Axis powers, but he was handed over this responsibility by Rash Behari Bose, towards whom, Sri Aurobindo seemed to have shown appreciation. Why is that🤔?

I am not sure if Ras Behari Bose asked or adviced Subhas Bose to shake hands with Hitler (he literally did so) and was calling in the Japanese to throw away the British. If he did then Sri Aurobindo would not hesitate calling his grave error. For Sri Aurobindo Truth of things mattered more than personal appreciation. At the same time it must be understood that there was nothing against either Subhash Chandra Bose or Gandhi. It was against certain policies that he saw were dangerous. It was never something personal except that your personality pushes you to take certain course of action.

These situations cannot be avoided. What is needed is an inner peace and equanimity which serves as a big cushion against everything. Yes offering the food inwardly is the best one can do. Most importantly keep the …

Alongside the Integral path, I feel drawn to certain traditional spiritual practices, such as Chakra-based Mantra Meditation and chanting the Lalita Sahasranamam. Can these practices be harmoniously integrated with Integral Yoga, or would it be better to focus exclusively on the Psychic opening and surrender to the Mother? 🌀😊🙏🏻🌼❤️‍🔥[…]

Our evolution procedes along several lines through which we have moved. It is natural that some of the practices of certain spiritual paths may extend into our present. For some, these other lines drop altogether and everything gets centered around The Mother…
