AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What is Sri Aurobindo Gayatri? How and when to chant. Any rules and regulations? ☀️🪷🧘👁️

Sri Aurobindo’s Gayatri is the mantra given by Sri Aurobindo to invoke the Sun, a symbol of the Supermind. Gayatri is the metre or rhythm of the Mantra while the Deity is the Divine in His aspect of Truth-Light. The mantra is an invocation to the Light and Power of the Supreme to illumine and transform us.

ॐ तत् सवितुर् वरं ऱुपं ज्योति परस्य धीमहि ।

यन्नः सत्येन दीपयेत् ॥

Om Tat Savitur Varam Rupam Jyoti Parasya Dhimahi

Yannah Satyena Dipayet.

“Let us meditate on the most auspicious form of Savitri (the Sun-god), on the Light of the Supreme, which shall illumine us with the Truth”.One can do it anytime though the mantra aligns with the morning rising sun. 
There are no rules or regulations but it is best if the heart gets engaged in the mantra. It should be an act of love and not a mechanical ritual being done to take some advantages. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The sadhana once begun never really stops. Yes one encounters temporary halts, – almost everyone goes through these phases, but that is because we need to assimilate the gains of the sadhana. Often our outer nature may not even recognise. Yet one has received something but more is not coming in either because the container is small …

Dear Alok da, thank you—the lines from Sri Aurobindo in your email helped immensely, and while old holds haven’t entirely left, they feel looser. I find myself happier in solitude, as outer interactions easily muddle my poise, while an intense inner longing to remain anchored to the Mother, Sri Aurobindo, and Sri Krishna continues to grow. 👩‍👧🕊️🙏🏼[…]
