AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I have been going through many books and works of Sri Aurobindo, and every time I read, I feel deeply inspired by the perfection of his grace and feel that I might have some bigger role to play in his plan. ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿซ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป […]

I have been fortunate to learn about and be influenced by different saints of our motherland and their work; for example, Ramdas Swami (Satara), Shankar Maharaj (Pune), Pant Maharaj (Belgaum), and even Swami Vivekananda. I somehow feel that they are One and they all seem to work in harmony toward uplifting everyone who wants to walk in this path. May be for them Moksha was the end and Sri Aurobindo even broke that barrier to go beyond it and bring him to operate through you for perfection in all the relm.

Could you please guide me on where to find local groups (Pune) that regularly meet to discuss the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother or Integral Yoga?

After reading Sri & Maa’s thoughts on school; I feel that I must open a school in my home-town (Kolhapur) based on their teaching. Although I am not from a teaching background but was fortunate to attend good schools & colleges (Sainik School Satara & IIT Bombay) and can spend some energy to bring together people who want to explore Sri & Maa through their work in teaching.ย 

P.S. I’ve long wished to do a Pune-Pondicherry bike ride and run the Auroville Marathon someday and whenever I will do that I want to also meet you.

Happy to hear your interest in Sri Aurobindo and The Mother as well as your interest in spiritual teachings in general. 

I don’t think there is any active group in Pune. I will let you know if I come across any. Will check with Sri Aurobindo Society also. 

The idea of a school is very good. My prayers that you succeed and get the right inspiration and resources.

Will be happy to meet you when you come here, biking or hitch hiking.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
