What are the Overmind and the Supermind? I only know these two names. Are there other related terms🤨?

Supermind can be described in simple terms as the Mind of God as the Creator. It is the Omniscience and Omnipotence of God and through it links the One Supreme Divine with the cosmos as well as each individual element of creation. It is where our individual souls emerge and the original blueprint of our individual life as well as of the creation is found. 

The Supermind releases Its Knowledge and Power into creation by putting forth certain delegate powers of the One Divine. This delegate of the Supermind is termed the Overmind where we see the One Divine in the unity of His fourfold aspects differentiates them into a power and Knowledge inherent in Existence (Brahma), power and Knowledge operating as Consciousness (Vishnu), power and Knowledge operating to create and dissolve or destroy (Shiva), power and Knowledge sustaining the world play through the various degrees and shades of Ananda (Krishna). The Overmind is the plane of the original Gods. 
But between the human mind as it presently is and the Overmind there are steps of increasing vastness of light and Knowledge and power so that we can be gradually prepared to finally meet the Creator without veils. Then He can work directly in us and through us and not through the veils of ego and ignorance as now. These ascending steps are the Higher Mind where Truth is seen as symbols, the Illumined Mind where one sees the Truth through inspiration and revelation rather than analysis. Finally, between the Overmind and the Illumined Mind there is the Intuitive Mind which sees the hidden truths like lightning shows things covered in darkness.

There are other related terms such as Sacchidananda which describes the One Supreme,  Parabrahman which is the Absolute,  Vidyamayi Maya which is a power of differentiation of forms in the backdrop of oneness and Avidyamayi Maya which is a power that fixes the limits of each form.in such a way that it perceives itself separate and divided from the rest.

There are many other terms but we can leave them for now. 

Affectionately,

I remember once reading in Sri Aurobindo’s commentary on the Isha Upanishad that one cannot become a Brahmin without first becoming a Kshatriya. I believe that I never had the Kshatriya element developed sufficiently within me, and it has always been a source of embarrassment and insecurity for me as a man. 💪🙏🏻🪷[…]

He said both are needed. But these are things ingrained within us. Brahmin and Kshatriya are not  soul states, inner innate temperaments and not so much of outer actions. Nevertheless everything can be developed by practice. By taking the challenges of life, through vigorous physical exercises, by praying for strength, by reading …

Bhaiya, Rishi Panchami fast is coming up, and I read the story behind it. Honestly, I found it quite absurd. The story talks about a woman unknowingly breaking certain rules during menstruation, cooking food that her husband eats, and then both of them facing severe karmic consequences in their next life. 🪷🙏🏻 […]

Yes, all these things have been added much later and have no authority in the main  Scriptures. It is a story added in some of the Puranas, mainly I suppose to enforce rules of hygiene for women during the menstrual period. This was one of the ways to instil certain hygiene practices through fear. It has no meaning now. Most of the fasts …

How should we understand deities like Subrahmanyeshwara (Skanda/Murugan) and Vinayaka (Ganesha)? Are they individual divine beings, cosmic powers of the One Divine, or symbols of different aspects of consciousness? How should an aspirant in Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga relate to them in practice? 🙏🏻✨

The four original gods, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh and, behind them all Krishna, are, in their origin, the four aspects of the One Divine, named in Indian spiritual thought as Sacchidananda. Sat (सत) is infinite existence from which Brahma ji emerges. Chit is Chit-tapas, Consciousness and Force from which Hari or Vishnu ji and Hara or Shiv ji …
