AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dear Alok Da,

I am taking this workshop, and I really need your feedback. 
https://aurosociety.bmeurl.co/12CC1408. You recently replied to one of my questions on the 5 elements of nature and the way you explained God Fire, God Air. I felt so expansive, able to experience divine presence/divine power more closely in me and around me…
I have 3 questions. Your feedback means a lot to me
🙏


1. Could you please help me understand the presence of God Space, God Water, and God Earth—how these cosmic forces manifest both around us and within?

Space is the secret base, the silent support that makes room for the Divine Manifestation. The Divine Manifestation begins here as Vibration, the stir of creation. 

2. In your view, how does Ayurveda (5 elements of nature – 3 energies vata, pitta and kapha) support and accelerate our journey toward spirituality and deeper soul connection?

Vata, Pitta, Kafa are the aerial, fiery and the watery elements of creation. They are elements of Nature through which the soul manifests. Their balance creates a state of harmony and balance which helps in the Divine Working in and through the physical instrument. 

3. Lastly, what is your insight into conscious relationships, where we are creating space for where we can be who we truly are (we can follow our heart, stop people pleasing/stop suppressing each other/accepting and start listening to self) and support one another to grow and bloom with love?

It is wonderful if one can find such a complimentary being. But it is very rare and happens through a special Grace. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I remember once reading in Sri Aurobindo’s commentary on the Isha Upanishad that one cannot become a Brahmin without first becoming a Kshatriya. I believe that I never had the Kshatriya element developed sufficiently within me, and it has always been a source of embarrassment and insecurity for me as a man. 💪🙏🏻🪷[…]

He said both are needed. But these are things ingrained within us. Brahmin and Kshatriya are not  soul states, inner innate temperaments and not so much of outer actions. Nevertheless everything can be developed by practice. By taking the challenges of life, through vigorous physical exercises, by praying for strength, by reading …

Bhaiya, Rishi Panchami fast is coming up, and I read the story behind it. Honestly, I found it quite absurd. The story talks about a woman unknowingly breaking certain rules during menstruation, cooking food that her husband eats, and then both of them facing severe karmic consequences in their next life. 🪷🙏🏻 […]

Yes, all these things have been added much later and have no authority in the main  Scriptures. It is a story added in some of the Puranas, mainly I suppose to enforce rules of hygiene for women during the menstrual period. This was one of the ways to instil certain hygiene practices through fear. It has no meaning now. Most of the fasts …

How should we understand deities like Subrahmanyeshwara (Skanda/Murugan) and Vinayaka (Ganesha)? Are they individual divine beings, cosmic powers of the One Divine, or symbols of different aspects of consciousness? How should an aspirant in Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga relate to them in practice? 🙏🏻✨

The four original gods, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh and, behind them all Krishna, are, in their origin, the four aspects of the One Divine, named in Indian spiritual thought as Sacchidananda. Sat (सत) is infinite existence from which Brahma ji emerges. Chit is Chit-tapas, Consciousness and Force from which Hari or Vishnu ji and Hara or Shiv ji …
