AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My mother passed away on 14 Nov due to cardiac arrest, leaving behind 3 daughter’s and my father… we all are in a shock n blank, not able to accept her death, mind is dulled, don’t know what to do? Alok Da, we want to talk to our mother.

The shock of the family is understandable. But it is important to understand that each soul has its own unique journey and while she is no more accessible to the senses, yet all is never destroyed. She must be traveling through the inner worlds towards the divine realm to rest and restore herself before returning again. It is not a good thing to disturb her during this passage. It will only delay her transit through the mid worlds. The right thing is to pray for her, send her thoughts of peace and love as a beautiful farewell gift from the family. It will support her on the journey.

During this period the family should read Savitri Book Two Canto 14 or The Gita chapter 2. It helps calm our mind to bear the first sense of the irreparable with the knowledge that birth and death are moments, processes of life. The soul journeys through these towards its true destiny. All the outward form of our relations are temporary and change with new life.

Affectionately

Alok da

What was being refered to are the stock and standard Bhajans which hardly fall into the true category. But there are beautiful soul-uplifting bhajans with equally beautiful music that flows from the depths which is even helpful at one stage of sadhana, especially in the preliminary stages. An example of the former type could be, ‘suna hai …

From the archetype point of view, the character of the main protagonist (hero) in this film is more like Abhimanyu except that it ends up with a happier fate. Like Abhimanyu, he enters into the enemy ranks from where coming out was near impossible. He is trained but inexperienced, again like Abhimanyu. He is valiant, courageous, puts …

Yes, if one looks within and finds that one has done what best one could do in a given situation, then one should remain inwardly quiet and see why one gets disturbed by the criticism. It is generally either because one expects some appreciation or praise or at least..
