AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Why is the Sri Aurobindo ashram named Sri Aurobindo ashram why not anything else?

Asked by 10 year old Boy

Sri Aurobindo himself answered this saying that the word Ashram had been given because it comes from the root shram, which means labour. The Ashram therefore is so called because it is not a place of peaceful post retirement life but a place of different kind of labour, the work of conquering the ego, conquering desires, conquering one’s likes, dislikes, preferences etc. it is a place of labour, the labour of purification and transformation. Hence the name Ashram.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

In relationship one should look for a long term togetherness. Short term attractiveness, outer looks etc do not last long. Important thing is whether your thoughts, aims and goals …
