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

Dear Sir, Namaste. I had a dream in which I was sightseeing in Ayodhya. It was totally different from the real city in every aspect. There were very large temples and monuments, some of which I remember were statues of a horse, a peacock, and an open court of a king; these were stone structures as tall as the Eiffel Tower. ๐Ÿ’ญ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ›•๐Ÿฆท๐ŸŒ„[…]

In life, when you come to a junction where you are aware and conscious of your inner self, conscious of the conflicts that happen between mind and vital, conscious of your psychic [at least a bit] and offer everything at HER feet [mostly] but feel conflicted between the outer system we are in and the inner call.. ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน๐ŸŒผ[…]
