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
