AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am now reading the canto “Issue” I understand within my mind’s capacity.  I have a question here. In the beginning of this Canto, Savitri’s thought process to cancel the fate (death of  Satyavan)  is described. Can you give the main idea by which she wants to  cancel the fate to bring a new life to Satyavan? ☀️🌌🕊️📜

I have thought about few concepts on which Savitri is planning to stop his  death, and cancel karma. Just to correct my opinions, I want your explanation. You can give me the main idea by which she plans this move? 

It is mentioned in the Canto itself, for example. 

‘The fixity of the cosmic sequences

Fastened with hidden inevitable links
She must disrupt, dislodge by her soul’s force
Her past, a block on the Immortal’s road,
Make a rased ground and shape anew her fate.’
And towards the end again. 

In her own self she found her high recourse;

She matched with the iron law her sovereign right:
Her single will opposed the cosmic rule.

To stay the wheels of Doom this greatness rose.

At the Unseen’s knock upon her hidden gates
Her strength made greater by the lightning’s touch
Awoke from slumber in her heart’s recess.

It bore the stroke of That which kills and saves.

Across the awful march no eye can see,
Barring its dreadful route no will can change,
She faced the engines of the universe;
A heart stood in the way of the driving wheels:
Its giant workings paused in front of a mind,
Its stark conventions met the flame of a soul.

A magic leverage suddenly is caught
That moves the veiled Ineffable’s timeless will:
A prayer, a master act, a king idea
Can link man’s strength to a transcendent Force.

Then miracle is made the common rule,
One mighty deed can change the course of things;
A lonely thought becomes omnipotent.’

Essentially changing fate implies discovering the soul’s freedom and power as well as the Divine Intervention using will, heart and thought as effective intermediaries.

Affectioantely,

Alok Da

Alok da, one increasingly concerning trend that one’s observing in indian society right now is there’s a feverish tendency to inquire about one’s range of earnings. The moment the so-called elders meet a young man who’s just into two to three years of graduation, the very first question they ask is “What’s your Package?”. 👴🏼👨🏼‍💼💼🏢🥀[…]

It is not Darwinism but copy-catism if one wants to coin a word. The reason however is twofold. Partly it is due to the strong awakening of Rajas in a society that was, for a rather long time oppressed, supressed and made to feel low, in one word tamas. This is a resurgence of excessive rajas which will sooner or later stabilise and, given the …
