AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am going to visit Mathura and Vrindavan with some friends. Though all the friends have an Attitude of Religious Pilgrimage. As I don’t have that Attitude, for me, as Sri Krishna and Sri Aurobindo are the same, and with that angle, I am visiting the place. 😊🙏🏻🪷[…]

Others will be in the rituals and so on. What Attitude should I maintain so that I can get the most out of this visit? Please advise as l have not visited many popular religious places in the past.

Think of Sri Aurobindo whenever you stand before Sri Krishna. The rituals, of course, are unnecessary, but if one engages in them for some reason, keep saying inwardly that you are offering everything to Sri Aurobindo with the mantra ‘Om name bhagawate Sri Aravindaye’ going on within the heart.

Affectioately,

Alok Da
