AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

This year Janmashtami is falling on 15 August. I don’t recall ever seeing Sri Aurobindo’s birth anniversary and Janmashtami fall on the same day. What is the significance of this😌?

My second question is about the story of Jaya and Vijaya, the gatekeepers of Lord Vishnu. We all know that they had a deal of three lives on earth but did they come here to work after that? Is there any story of them related to the Mother and Sri Aurobindo?

The coinciding of the birthdays of Sri Aurobindo and Sri Krishna would indicate the manifestation of a greater potency of the Divine, of Truth and Ananda, of the great promise of the future brought to earth by both Sri Krishna and Sri Aurobindo. 

However what is more interesting is that the centenary of the Siddhi day (when Sri Krishna’s divinely-human personality fused with the divinely-human personality of Sri Aurobindo) begins on 24th November this year (2026 being the hundredth year of the event). Since this great even opened the way to the Supramental Descent we can take it that it means a greater working of the Supramental Consciousness upon earth for the next couple of years at least marked by unprecedented events that would realign the world to its own deeper truth. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

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,..
