In a complex world that is undergoing evolutionary transformation driven by the manifestation of a new power of consciousness, the issue does not come down to immediate success of any particular line of action, but of how the total evolutionary process is taking up and addressing the obstacles, issues, conce s and needs that stand in the way of the manifestation.ARTArticleSuccessful Relations As Per Best Astrologer In IndiaBy looking at the position of the planets present in the Ascendant Horoscope, it can be told that how will the relationship of the family in the family? For example, if the Sun planet is afflicted in the horoscope, the person is likely to have a bitter relationship with the father. Or the native will be troubled by government and government jobs. Similarly, if the Moon is afflicted, then the native will not have a good relationship with the mother.

Learn how to meditate in a way that works for you and never stop (I learned by reading the book Untethered Soul by Michael Singer). Make reading a daily habit. Have hobbies you genuinely care about that aren’t movies and TV (Game of Thrones is not a damn hobby). Start tracking how and where you spend your time. (I love Toggl for online work; helps me be honest). Set a notification on your phone or to-do list to send a nice message to family and friends at least once every few days. My relationships have never been stronger.r ARTArticleSun in Hindu AstrologyDue to Sun God being a direct planet, it has a direct impact on all the places of the earth, animals, plants, and humans. Sunrise is considered to be very auspicious in Hindu Culture. Sun has a prominent role in reading the horoscope by good astrologer in India If the Sun is strong in the horoscope, then the person is a part of good Raja Yoga, an influential, brilliant, talented, reputed, leading person of society and defeating enemies.ARTArticleThe "Real" Secret to SuccessWhen you think of the word “success” is the first thing that comes to mind a self-portrait? If you don’t see yourself as successful, that vision needs to change. You truly deserve the success you want… It’s just a matter of achieving that state. And that’s the tricky part, isn’t it? Achieving success feels like an impossible task, a task better suited to rocket scientists and Wall Street wizards who know how to parlay their natural gifts into dollar-chu ing enterprises. But guess what? That’s actually not how it works.ARTArticleThe #1 Tip For Beginning WritersLesson #1 for the Beginning Writer I am a freelance writer and I have been working for over thirty years. I might amend that and also state that I have been getting paid to write. That is the most important part; isn’t it?r ARTArticleThe 7 Stages of a Spiritual AwakeningA Spiritual Awakening is a deeply personal experience. At times it can feel extremely lonely and confusing, filling you with trepidation and anxieties. And at other times, you feel elated, on cloud 9 and filled with pure happiness. Everyone’s awakening is felt differently, yet one thing is sure; I would not change a thing, were I to experience the process again. For all of us, we are on a never-ending journey of personal expansion.ARTArticleThe Action of Divine GraceThe difference between our human understanding and effort, and the action of Divine Grace, is the standpoint from which the result flows. The human ego standpoint tries to evaluate everything in reference to itself at the center, and thus, looks to “my effort”, “my results”, “my progress” and measures these things according to the framework of the human understanding. Yet the Divine acts and manifests from its own “divine standpoint” which exceeds the limits of the mental egoistic view, and thus, it can seem incomprehensible to the individual.ARTArticleThe Advent of the Supramental Consciousness and Its Impact on Mind, Life and BodyEvery new evolutionary development of consciousness has brought with it changes in the material forms and activity of those forms to accommodate the new powers that are manifesting. It is therefore expected that as the supramental manifestation takes place, it will also bring about changes in the forms and functions to express the needs and the powers of that new consciousness. These changes do not generally take place ove ight.ARTArticleThe Adventure of Consciousness: The Integral Yoga of Sri AurobindoAlbert Einstein stated “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” We have an existential crisis in our world that is being recognized more and more, which includes the climate crisis and its impacts, the pollution crisis and its results, the resource depletion that is fueling wars and mass migrations across the planet, and the species die off that is killing off large numbers of plants, insects and animals across the planet.ARTArticleThe Age-Old Testimony of Spiritual ExperienceWhen a tornado or a hurricane wreaks destruction in its path, we are overcome with the intensity and the pain caused by that storm. We frequently try to read into this event some personal retribution upon ourselves for some failing according to our moral code or ethical rules. We tend to look at events that cause us to suffer from the ego-standpoint of the individual, and certainly, the individual standpoint has its validity, but it is not the sole reality of existence.ARTArticleThe Aim of the Integral YogaThe aim of spiritual seeking and yoga, historically, has been the liberation of the individual seeker and achievement of enlightenment. In many cases, this has involved making a choice between living “in the world” or abandoning the worldly life. Some traditions, such as the Buddhist Mahayana tradition, developed the concept of the Bodhisattva, who at the very threshold of enlightment and liberation turns back to help all other beings achieve this liberation before passing beyond.ARTArticleThe Aspects of the Mind and Their Modes of ActionFor most people, everything that takes place in the mind is simply mental activity. Psychology as a science in the West has only, in recent years, begun to appreciate there are different types of intelligence that, presumably, arise from different sources.ARTArticleThe Basis for Developing the Silence of the MindIn today’s world, we tend to value those processes of mind, life and body which focus on the elements of success in the outer life. We educate children to remember facts of the past, to learn basic mathematics, and rules of grammar and spelling. We train students on how to utilize and implement various forms of technology into their lives, or to gain certain practical skills to maintain and install the powers that drive our society and economy.ARTArticleThe Bhagavad Gita Provides a Suitable Initial Foundation for the Spiritual Development of the Integral YogaThe Bhagavad Gita rightly occupies an important spot in the spiritual tradition of India. The teaching of the Gita is expansive and detailed, exploring the paths of Knowledge, Devotion and Works and providing insight into the attitude of the seeker, the relation to the teacher, and the nature of the divine consciousness, transcendent, universal and individual. Sri Aurobindo translated in various places the verses of the Gita, which were brought together by Anilbaran Roy in the book Bhagavad Gita and Its Message.ARTArticleThe Creation of the Worlds and the Cycles of EvolutionEntropy is a scientific theory that holds that the universe tends towards increasing disorder and dissolution over time, eventually having ordered patterns break down into randomness or chaos, and dissolution. While it is set forth in Western science as the second law of thermodynamics in a very specific way, it has taken on a much broader meaning when it is applied to the creation of the universe and its eventual dissolution. It is one of the key concepts that has ruled Western scientific thinking for a considerable period of time.ARTArticleThe Creative Power of the Silent MindFor most people there is never a moment of silence in the mind. A constant chu ing of thoughts, ideas, desires, plans, wishes, conce s, feelings, emotions, perceptions, and needs keeps mental activity of one sort or another always going. We seem to actually fear the silence, so if the inner state seems to be slacking off, we seek out exte al excitement or sounds to fill the void that we fear.ARTArticleThe Devotee and the Yoga of Devotion, Part 1Which comes first, the experience of the Divine Presence or the aspiration to bask in the Presence? This question arose in a dialogue between a disciple and Sri Aurobindo and led to an extensive response from Sri Aurobindo. Sri Aurobindo describes the attitude, motive and dedication of a devotee who follows the devotional path of yoga. In this path, the devotion itself is the primary focus and interest of the devotee and remains unshaken, steady and persevering through long stretches of time, including periods when there is no noticeable response or validation from the Divine.ARTArticleThe Difficult Topic Of ForgivenessDiscussing the difficult topic of forgiveness is never easy. For some, not forgiving someone or a past situation has been pent up for many years. For others, there is someone who can not forgive them for something they said or did either consciously or unconsciously. Or, it may be that they are unable to forgive themselves for something. Whilst the circumstances may differ, the overall negative impact on you is the same: A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON YOUR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING The Negative and Positive Effects of Not Forgiving ARTArticleThe Divine Force Active in the Practice of YogaWe all generally understand the concept of force at the material level. Our entire world is driven by this force as the sun energizes the planet, as the wind, the water and the power of fire in the depths of the earth create our material environment. We understand the concept of force at the vital level as we move to the impulses of hunger and thirst, fear and greed, domination and submission and the consequences of these impulses. We understand even the concept of force at the mental level, when an idea helps transform our lives and changes the way we see and respond to the world around us.ARTArticleThe Divine Grace and Spiritual RealisationThe pivotal role and importance of Divine Grace in the spiritual realisation comes about because all humanity is essentially locked into the framework of our normal mental-vital standpoint and thus, cannot truly transform the consciousness without something intervening from outside this framework. This is a dual process of preparation, receptivity and acceptance from the side of the individual, and the influence of the higher principle or force that exerts the pressure for change.ARTArticleThe Divine Mother — the Consciousness-Force of the DivineIn his book The Mother, Sri Aurobindo writes: “In all that is done in the universe, the Divine through his Shakti is behind all action but he is veiled by his Yoga Maya and works through the ego of the Jiva in the lower nature.” The Divine Shakti, the creative force of the universe, the power that manifests all, is the Divine Mother. There are both static and dynamic aspects of existence. The static aspect is Ete al, Absolute and unmoving. It supports and contains all, but does not create. The dynamic aspect is the force of creation that acts in the universe.ARTArticleThe Emergence of the Witness PurushaThe recognition of the separation of the Purusha, the inner witness consciousness and the Prakriti, the active nature that operates in the mind, life and body, is an important step in the practice of yoga, whether for total abandonment of the outer world and liberation of the being, or as an essential phase in the eventual transformation of the nature to take up and manifest the divine intention without the distortions caused by the ego-consciousness.ARTArticleThe Essential Role of Supermind in the Transformation of Mind-Life-BodyThe aspiration and goal of seekers from time immemorial is the Ete al, which represents a status outside of the normal functioning of body-life-mind, that is, outside our normal experience. Through achievement of samadhi, the consciousness enters into the experience of pure existence, consciousness and bliss, Sat-Chit-Ananda. This is an “undifferentiated” state that is pure and unmoving. This status, while being the underlying basis and frame for the active movement of the universal energy in its manifestation, is not one that actively and dynamically creates that manifestation.ARTArticleThe Existence of Mental, Vital and Physical Planes of Existence Independent of the Material WorldWhere do life and mind come from in the material world? How does inanimate Matter become the basis out of which life evolves? Western science, at a loss as to this process, simply has speculated that given enough time, the chemical/electrical interaction of material forces will spawn life and eventually, through random chance, bring about the advancements of the mind and intellect that we observe in the world today.ARTArticleThe First Signs of the Advent of a Mind of LightAre we witnessing the first signs of the development of a mind of Light in the world today? If we look back at human civilisation over the last several thousand years, we can see several bright spots where individuals or relatively small groups of people broke out of the fixation on material acquisition and personal satisfaction of desire to try to achieve a new standpoint that would take into account the needs of a larger collectivity and a focus on achieving peaceful relations between people.
