AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

All are not same in the power and effect. If it were so then the Divine would not assume different names and forms simply to cater to the different needs of different individuals depending upon each one’s stage of evolution.” Does it mean we have to invoke different deities for different powers? Is there any specific form of The Divine Mother 😇 which can bestow all virtues?

The Divine Mother is the original Power, Adya Shakti. If we invoke Her then She does what is needed, gives or takes away whatever is necessary in Her total vision. Nothing more is then needed since She is the Mother of the gods and whatever She grants, the others are compelled to concede. There is no need to invoke different deities once one invokes the Divine Mother. If anything it is likely to create confusion by interfering in a more comprehensive action of the Divine Mother.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

As I read Sri Aurobindo, He emphasizes virtues and scriptural adherence are a way binding, without  taking Man further towards liberation. So this question, How can we Catogrise The King SriRama as per Bhagavad Gita? How  should His emotions and actions  be described  as per BG? Sthitapragya!!?? 🛞⚖️☸️🐎

Sri Rama is the Avatar who sets the supreme example of an idealized humanity, what it truly means to be a man, paurusham. Though he is the Divine Purushottama, yet he limits himself to fit the ideal human being. Hence he is the Maryada Purushottama. Yes he is virtuous as is commonly portrayed but he is not bound to his virtues as the ordinary man. Dharma comes first for him and hence we see the finest flower of the Ikshvaku dynasty …
