AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Namaste. I want to get clarity about the location of these places referred to in the poem URVASIE. Though I thought that poetic symbolism need not have a geographical accuracy in it, I found some suggestions in the poem which help to locate these cities along the course of the river Ganges.ย 1.Budrichayshwur โ€” is it Badrinath? Ila- is it somewhere along the course of Ganges as a city even in the current times?๐Ÿ“–โœ๏ธ๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿ’ฎ

Sri Aurobindo often points out the directions of north, northwest, south etc along the poem. Though this too can be reconciled as some spiritual imagination with a psychological colour, I feel there may be some occult significance to it which can regulate and alter our mood when the image is meditated upon.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
