I have a few questions regarding Yagya: 📜🔥

October 29, 2026

These are beautiful questions which Sri Aurobindo has himself answered at great length. Here are the brief responses. Will be happy to elaborate further if

1. Could you please comment briefly on the chronology of the Veda? Given the Earth’s repeated cataclysmic cycles, how was Vedic knowledge preserved? Before the Rsi of Bharatvarsh, who, if anyone, were its custodians? 📜🔥

There has never been an Age of mankind when the Vedic Knowledge was not there. The Vedas is the Knowledge that has gone into creation,

But there are happy marriages, right? 💍🤝

October 26, 2026

Not sure if there are any truly happy married couple left. Earlier people learned to be happy under social pressures. But society has become more

Sir, now you are reading the Bhagavad Purana on the Auromaa YouTube channel. So I have a question related to that. Sir, are all the 18 Puranas that we have, are they are all genuine. I mean the stories, the characters, the gods and goddesses, and the temples and rituals to be followed. 📜🔱🙏🏼 […]

These are relevant questions. One by one, the answers are as follows.

There are several Puranas but only a few are regarded as authentic. Broadly

Yes, Alok da. I agree with you. Indian characters have set the bar so high that almost everything else feels low. I’m also looking forward to watching the Odyssey once it’s available on OTT. Thank you. 📖🏛️

Quite true.

Our ancestors were truly great in depth as well as height. They went to the extreme limits of everything for which they were

I am 19 years old. I have a question about Sri Aurobindo. On December 5th, it is said that on that day Sri Aurobindo sacrificed his own body. According to my limited understanding, did Sri Aurobindo take this step to bring down the Supramental into the Inconscient? Or did something else happen? 🙏🏻🌅 […]

The Supramental Consciousness represents the Divine fulfilment of creation whereas the Inconscient represents the ultimate resistance to this fulfilment. Man stands in between the two.

Jai Maa, I have heard that the Mother said in one of her talks that sannyasis can be more vulnerable than normal people and in another place that one should not go near them, as they can even have an adverse influence. Are these authentic statements? What are the reasons for these statements? 🧘🏻📿😶‍🌫️🍂

September 3, 2026

In general, both Sri Aurobindo and Sri Krishna, prefered tyaga over sannyasa. The Mother goes one step further when She says.

Dear Alok Da, as I commit to Integral Sadhana and the process of rejection, I am torn about the place of emotional non-violence toward loved ones who depend on me. My family and partner—honorable people to whom I owe much—will inevitably feel hurt, abandoned, and anxious as I step away from conventional human duties for my spiritual calling. ❤️‍🔥🥲🙏🏻🌻[…]

I fully understand your dilemma, the dilemma of a Sattwic human being. It is the apex of all that we call human. And yet even

Please explain this: “…the Mahomedans even speak of not two or three but many levels of the Divine until one reaches the Supreme.” 🤔🌌🌻[…]

Love is the supreme Divine Force that works in creation to uplift and transform it. Its works in two main ways. Firstly it works to

I have the aspiration to sacrifice for the Mother or someone whom I love. But sacrifice implies danger, right? How can wanting to sacrifice and being safe go together? How will one know one is on the right path and not going in the wrong direction in the name of sacrifice? 🙄🫴🏼🌼🦋

Sacrifice does not diminish oneself. It purifies us of all that is small and low and obscure by burning it in the flame of aspiration.

Sir, please explain the difference between “Samarpan(Surrender)” and “Self Giving”. 🫴🏼😊🙏🏻🌸

June 13, 2026

In Samarpan or surrender, there is still an “I” that gives. It is a giving of all that ‘one’ thinks and feels and wills and

Which is the first slip of the Soul in its Manifestation? Is it due to Prakrithi or Purusha? Why and how I fell? Why not corrected in the beginning? Now, what is the meaning of Sacrifice when the child is left uncared for a long time? 🤕🌌🕉️

There is no slip of the soul. The Jivatma has taken a very conscious decision to plunge into the play just as a child choses
