AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

This is in response to a pointed question as below. Some say November 24th is a Day of Victory. By that some mean that the Supermind (Supramental Consciousness) descended into the Physical Consciousness of Sri Aurobindo. 🪷[…]

Others say it was the coming down of Krishna into the Physical Consciousness. If it was the descent of Krishna, does that mean the descent of the Supramental Light?

“Krishna is not the supramental light. The descent of Krishna would mean the descent of the Overmind Godhead preparing, though not itself actually bringing, the descent of Supermind and Ananda. Krishna is the Anandamaya, he supports the evolution through the Overmind leading it towards his Ananda.” — What is the Overmind Godhead preparing? 🫣

It means that Sri Krishna is the Anandamaya, the Godhead of Bliss, who has been behind the evolutionary journey of man so far. He is the Godhead supporting the evolution as well as driving it, taking a human form and assuming a human personality in the Dwapar yuga.

In his actual action, he has taken his station in the Overmind, the highest reach of the mental consciousness.

It was needed that the Overmind first descends into the physical matter before the Supermind could descend upon earth. Overmind was until now the highest accessible consciousness and hence its descent into matter was needed before the Supermind, which is still further could descend.

It is as if one cannot jump to the last step before going through the connecting links, or else there may be a stumble.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I feel the pressure on my crown when I do meditation. Also, is this a common occurrence? This crown thing? It appears now and again randomly and gains momentum during meditation. Meditations have literally changed. It feels like as though I took a subtle bath(a rather risky turn of phrase ) every time I meditate. Why is this happening to me? When does the Force choose you? 🧘✨🕊️

Yes. Pressure upon the crown takes place before the full opening.

Many, many, many experiences come. It is best not to get too much into analysing, understanding them else one can easily get distracted or the ego may get puffed up. It is like getting delayed by the scenery on the way. Stay focused on giving oneself more and more to the Divine, growing in faith, sincerity, love and surrender,…

Someone asked me whether Sri Aurobindo has adopted the ideas from Hegel and Kant. How can I reply to him? Please help me and refer to some books.  📚🧠✨

People who make such remarks are unfortunately very poorly informed about either Bergson and Kant let alone Sri Aurobindo whom they have certainly not read. 

Sri Aurobindo’s major works include two treatises on the Vedas including a deep and intricate study of Vedic philology, the major Upanishads with a detailed commentary on the Isha and Kena, detailed essays on the Gita, Foundations of Indian Culture. His two most important works has, one, the story of Savitri as a base; the second,..
