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

Instead, they may shun any positive thoughts or help given to them. What to do then? 🌱💛

Each child brings his own unique destiny and the line of growth determined by his soul’s unique possibility and a unique past. The role of parents is to help the child, if they can, to discover their own path and support their journey to the extent they can. Unfortunately most parents want convert them to their own way of thinking, their

I am currently 29 years old and will soon turn 30. I have been looking for a life partner who can also be my best friend—someone who is understanding, supportive, and open-minded. It is not that I am not receiving marriage proposals, but I am hesitant because I do not want to end up with someone who is narrow-minded, rigid, or overly orthodox. 💞🌱 […]

Marriage, whether love or arranged is a blind date. It is because life of does not come in standard formats. There are invariable challenges through which one may grow or break down. In simple words life is an evolutionary jigsaw puzzle and marraige is no exception to this rule. If you are bent upon an ideal, – which is good, then you …
