AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dear Alok da, I offer flowers to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother every day. Some days the flowers look still fresh, though not completely fresh, they are still not withered, and I don’t feel like throwing and replacing them because they are a day old. Is it ok to leave them as such, or is it better to replace fresh ones every day with the offering attitude? πŸ’πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ»βœ¨

Though there can be no fixed rule at home but replacing is not needed at home if the flowers are fresh. Some of them, like orchids, last really long.Β πŸͺ»

Affectionately,

Alok Da
