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

It means that a yogi is not someone cut off from life and work and people. He engages with everything but in a new and different way. He has access to a greater divine knowledge, a truer divine love, a more intense divine …
