AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir, in the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, you practice Integral Yoga. What is Integral Yoga? Where to learn about it and how to practice as a complete beginner? In the Ashram, deities are not being worshipped like Bhagwan Shiv, Maa Durga and Rituals are not performed. So what are your opinions on Rituals and Festivals like Mahashivratri or Navratri? 🏡🪷🌳🙏🌸[…]

And the worship of the Das Mahavidyas? What are Mother Mirra’s Teachings on liberation and ending the Cycle of Birth and Death? And how to reach the Divine? Please guide me. I am new to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and don’t know about these.

The Integral Yoga is a way to complete God realisation, not in one or other but in all aspects. Its eventual goal is a complete transformation of nature. 

There are some who practice the Integral Yoga in the Ashram and many more who practice it outside Pondicherry. 

Its main processes are sincere aspiration for the Divine and the Divine Life, rejection of all that stands in the way of giving oneself to the Divine and His Service, surrender to the Divine Mother. 

Liberation is not the goal of the yoga, but it does come in during the course of the yoga.

There are no rituals here. It is mainly an inner psychological process. No traditional fast etc., are prescribed. Karma and rebirth are a means for the inner evolution rather than reward and punishment. 

Read the Mother’s writings and take Her Name inwardly. For more details, you can listen to my talks on auromaa.org (YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AuroMaa)

Affectionately,

Alok Da

It is indeed Her Grace that has touched you or more specifically called you to the Path. And since They have called you to the Path be rest assured that your spiritual destiny is certain. 

Aspire and aspire, take the Mother’s Name, offer all you are and have and do to Her, with love, for Her Service…..
