AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir, I would like to know from you about Karni Mata. Her temple is very popular, which is located in Deshnok near Bikaner city in Rajasthan. The temple is also famous in a way that there are lots of mice in the temple, which did not cause any disease to the people. I have seen people taking ‘Jyoth’ not only in this temple on even other temples in Rajasthan. what is the significance of taking ‘jyoth’?🛕🔱🌅🏜️

Karni Mata is one of the emanations of Maa Durga who was born in a family connected with the royal family. Among the many miracles that she performed, one of them was helping the departed. The white rats are supposed to the children who died and come to her for helping the transition from this world to another. Jyoti, like the Fire, is the symbol of Divine Knowledge and Power (as Light and Heat). It has been an ancient practice of invoking the Divine Shakti through the Fire. If done consciously it can be a powerful means to invoke the Divine Forces in the atmosphere.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The best way is to completely ignore him, and if you cannot do so then remain inwardly totally indifferent to him. The best response to people who are hypercritical is complete indifference. The more you try to explain, the more they justify. The more you concede, the more they increase the criticism. But indifference completely flattens them…

What does the chant “OM SHANTI” truly signify—is peace merely the repetition of a sacred word, or a state to be deeply imbibed within the heart? We often define peace simply as the absence of external conflict, agitation, or turbulence, but this surface calmness is only temporary and amounts to nothing more than restraining turbulent emotions. What, then, constitutes real, unshakable inner peace, and how can one truly attain and sustain it? 🕉️🕊️

Peace is not an absence of disturbance. Even inertia is free from disturbance. Peace is something positive and powerful, a fundamental foundational status of the Divine, seemingly equal and non-reactive like Shiva bearing and upholding the dance of Kali upon his chest or the ocean holding its tremendous energy by its own power of self-limitation. maryada. It is a state of concentrated ingatheredness like the mountains or a vast Silence …
