AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am in the path our integral yoga. I follow your talks and speeches in auromaa.org. You said so many times that, Maa is the powerful Mantra.But I am repeating any sentence in SAVITRI daily and instead of Maa. Also I am repeating AuroMaa. Is it enough sir? Also I am doing kriya yoga sadhana for marking stability of the mind and vital. Please give your guidance in respect of my sadhana

Chanting the Mother’s Name or both Names together in the way they come to you spontaneously is called Nam Japa. It has a great power in it when done with faith and devotion in the heart. It grows the consciousness full of the Divine.

Lines from Savitri are a mantra and by dwelling upon them the doors of the higher consciousness and its attendant consequences such as the spiritual transformation is facilitated. Savitri also brings us closer to the Divine Mother and the powerful effects of such an opening.

One is the Name of the embodied Divine and the other is His Word. Both are powerful means to help us grow in Yoga.

You can continue doing the kriyas if that is helping you.

Rest is a question of sincerity in the aspiration, faith in the Divine and the Yoga and, surrender to the Divine Mother.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

These are three different things that must be seen each in its own right.

Firstly, sex and yoga: as far as most yogas are concerned, including Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga sex is seen as an obstacle. This is not so much because of moral reasons but simply because spiritual life means turning the consciousness and vital energy higher upwards and deeper. Sex, on the other hand pulls it outwards and downwards. This is so because of the pull towards the body. Bodily and vital pleasures are at crossroads with the higher aspiration and spiritual Ananda….

I read the following advice from the Mother to an artist learning to paint: Would you like me to draw birds or animals sometimes? If you like—but drawings from nature are best for learning. I have done this picture without anybody’s help. How is it? Will I be able to learn? ✍️🎨✨ […]

Poetry requires an inner hearing, the faculty of  inspiration so to say, just as painting requires an inner vision, a faculty that reveals what is hidden in the form. The technique is a framework which can be developed by practice. The inspiration comes through an inner…

I believe that reading The Secret of the Vedas by Sri Aurobindo gives us the real insight into the meaning of the Vedas and nothing more is needed for spiritual practitioners or for those who are looking to gain genuine spiritual insights. 📚🕉️[…]

The Secret of the Vedas was my first book too along with The Synthesis of Yoga. While it is no doubt a precious treasure (I had felt floating on cloud nine while reading it), it is certainly not enough for the Integral Yoga. Besides, apart from the conceptual understanding, the actual details of the practice for today’s practitioners is …
