AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sri Aurobindo has written that there was once a civilisation spanning India and Africa, but it collapsed. What happened to it? Why did it collapse? πŸ€”πŸ—ΊοΈ

It was a closely interconnected civilisation culturally as well as commercially through maritime routes. The outer reasons for collapse were diversion as well as drying up of the rivers, climate change and diminishing livestock. But inwardly it has always been the same reason, the extreme arrogance, greed and ambition of the rulers threatening the rest of life upon earth. It is through the Heads of States that the Asura of Falsehood acts most powerfully, something similar to what we see happening even in recent times over the last century. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

It is not cowardice but a sense of social behaviour inbuilt in many that prevents them from going against elders even if they are wrong. At the same time interfering much with their approach may create a disharmony in the …

What are these new Auroville Information Centres? How does this fit with Auroville International? I am involved in one of the Auroville International Center. Should I leave? πŸŸ‘πŸ™„πŸŒΌβœ¨

I think the new administration is dismantling the old structures and replacing them with new ones. Auroville International is perhaps being replaced by AIC. It is partly a change of name, partly to bring these Centres outside under the dispensation of the new management. What is more important however is the much awaited, …
