AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My father is very controlling. He has a habit of making decisions for us. I am 30 and I do not know how to say no to him or tell him to mind his own business?

Sri Aurobindo wrote Savitri as the mantra of the future. He did not say anything about interpreting it. The Mother did give very short comments on several passages of Savitri and She did allow certain direct disciples of Sri Aurobindo such as A B Purani and Amal Kiran to give talks on Savitri. Besides Savitri is also taught in the Ashram …
