AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Alok da, How can someone born in North Korea or in Afghanistan and all their life they have seen  horrible things can believe in Divine? For us over here life as been beautiful and thus we get to see divine all around😠 ..

Who knows, perhaps confronted with the terror and the horror some of them may be feeling quite disgusted and searching for answers. They may well stumble upon the Divine in this life or another passing through the door of pain. On the other hand people in places of comfort may not seek much, happy and content in their developed world such as America before Swami Vivekananda’s visit and present day China. Adversity, extreme Adversity often works as a catalyst to trigger a higher seeking whereas prosperity may well block it.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

His two most important works has, one, the story of Savitri as a base; the second,..
