New content, reproduced below, has been added to this website: Attempts to create an “Aurobindonian religion”: Sri Aurobindo and The Mother have unambiguously stated that their ideals, teachings and the institutions that they have founded do not belong to any religion or religious body, in any name or form. For instance, in Sri Aurobindo’s own words (The Teaching and the Ashram of Sri Aurobindo, 1934, p. 6): “The Ashram is not a religious association. Those who are here come from all religions and some are …

Reblogged from Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo & The Mother:

In an era suffering from an overabundance of Gurus and Avatars, it  has become difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, especially when these Gurus are surrounded by a retinue of adoring, immature minions who tend to conflate coincidences with miracles and fervent imagination with spiritual experiences.  Whose story should we believe?   Various ancient Hindu scriptures speak of the different methods by which a Guru may  initiate a disciple, and these signs can provide a test for discernment.  …

Savitri Era’s welcome of the Auro Truths website is appreciated and well-received. As is rightly observed by TNM, the task of fighting falsehood is likely to be an uphill task. But the journey uphill is as rewarding as the summit that is sought to be attained. Moreover, the investment that is made in this direction is independent of the results that might be obtained, because in spite of our individual or collective efforts Truth shall always prevail and falsehood can only tumble downhill and finally …

Sri Aurobindo’s teachings and message have profound significance as at once a masterly and magnificent presentation of ancient Indian wisdom and a challenging metaphysical contribution, both as speculation and as sadhana. It must be admitted, however, that the appeal of Sri Aurobindo’s writings has been limited to but a small number, the cultured and philosophical elite of India and abroad. Any work, like the one under review, which may make the thoughts of Sri Aurobindo better known to the world is therefore welcome.

The Annual opens with three poems by ‘Arjava’, Amal Kiran and Dilip. Then follow eleven articles which give brief and illuminating studies of Sri Aurobindo’s teachings under different heads. “Our Ideal” by Nolinikanta Gupta, “Divine Evolution” by Dr. K. C. Varadachari and “Towards A New World” by sisirkumar Mitra give in general terms an appraisal of the message of Sri Aurobindo and an exposition of his chief metaphysical ideas. To students of Indian philosophy, Dr. Mahendra Nath Sircar’s “Sri Aurobindo and Mayabad”, Sri Anilbaran Roy’s “Sri Aurobindo and the Gita”, Sri Birendra kishore Roy Chowdhury’s “Sri Aurobindo and the Tantra” and Sri V. Chandrasekharam’s “Sri Aurobindo and the Veda” provide valuable material to arrive at an estimate of Sri Aurobindo’s special contribution to philosophical thought and interpretation in a comparative setting. Dr. S. K. Maitra’s, “Sri Aurobindo and Bergson” shows how Sri Aurobindo is “a more uncompromising opponent of all respectability and convention and an even greater volcanic thinker” than Bergson himself Prof. Haridas Chaudhury’s “The Supermind in Sri Aurobindo’s Philosophy” is an illuminating psychological study, which gives valuable guidance to the understanding of the philosophical method and specific terminology adopted by Sri Aurobindo, Sri K. D. Sethna’s, “Sri Aurobindo–Poet of Yoga” is literary criticism touched with spiritual rapture in estimating one whose vision ‘is a revelatory process’ and ‘whose poems burn in an aura of beatitude’.

The volume is sumptuously got up and leaves nothing to be desired in the matter of printing and binding.

I must state that I am not qualified to offer a diagnosis – certainly not over the Internet. Apart from the suggestions I already gave in the comments above (Mantra, meditation, devotional singing), I don’t have much to offer by way of relief. You may want to ask around for a psychologist/healer who works with the energy body to help you overcome this nightmare. Your predicament reminds me of the lines from Shakespeare: “As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods, They kill us for their sport.(King Lear)
