AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Alok da, always you wished pure love in your life, an eternal bonds when you get it surprisingly with out even thinking that it could be possible it then why is there a little fear lingering in your head of losing it? How can you get rid of that thought🤨? 

Sometimes our secret wish suddenly gets fulfilled, most unexpectedly because unknown to our outer being, a stage is being prepared in the fields of life for the meeting of souls that yearn for something similar. The fear that follows is because so far, at least more often or not things, especially love stories end up badly, either in a compromise or else breaking apart. But this need not be so if we have faith and are willing to undertake the tapasya of love. The tapasya of love is to nurture the fire, treasuring it and tending it with care and sacrifice, to let this fire be fed by the diviner elements in us so that it refines and purifies instead of degrading us. It is not easy as it requires a great inner strength and wideness. But if one can fulfil the conditions then the result is very enriching and rewarding.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Bhaiya, Rishi Panchami fast is coming up, and I read the story behind it. Honestly, I found it quite absurd. The story talks about a woman unknowingly breaking certain rules during menstruation, cooking food that her husband eats, and then both of them facing severe karmic consequences in their next life. 🪷🙏🏻 […]

Yes, all these things have been added much later and have no authority in the main  Scriptures. It is a story added in some of the Puranas, mainly I suppose to enforce rules of hygiene for women during the menstrual period. This was one of the ways to instil certain hygiene practices through fear. It has no meaning now. Most of the fasts …

How should we understand deities like Subrahmanyeshwara (Skanda/Murugan) and Vinayaka (Ganesha)? Are they individual divine beings, cosmic powers of the One Divine, or symbols of different aspects of consciousness? How should an aspirant in Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga relate to them in practice? 🙏🏻✨

The four original gods, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh and, behind them all Krishna, are, in their origin, the four aspects of the One Divine, named in Indian spiritual thought as Sacchidananda. Sat (सत) is infinite existence from which Brahma ji emerges. Chit is Chit-tapas, Consciousness and Force from which Hari or Vishnu ji and Hara or Shiv ji …
