AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

This question is related to a series of experiences I am having. As I have turned to the Mother and Sri aurobindo, I feel very close to mother kali which is weird because before this I Have never in my life prayed to a female deity. Kali ma is showing her presence every time I think of her. How do I pray πŸ™to her in a way Sri Maa would like me to?

In Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga there is no separate praying to different powers and aspects of the Divine Mother that may become prominent in their action from time to time. Kali brings intensity and force. Her presence and working implies an intensification of aspiration and sincerity in the whole being. It implies that the sadhak must increase the intensity of aspiration, cultivate sincerity and frankness with the Divine Mother and give oneself to Her in deep love.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
