AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Alok da, How can someone born in North Korea or in Afghanistan and all their life they have seen  horrible things can believe in Divine? For us over here life as been beautiful and thus we get to see divine all around😠 ..

Who knows, perhaps confronted with the terror and the horror some of them may be feeling quite disgusted and searching for answers. They may well stumble upon the Divine in this life or another passing through the door of pain. On the other hand people in places of comfort may not seek much, happy and content in their developed world such as America before Swami Vivekananda’s visit and present day China. Adversity, extreme Adversity often works as a catalyst to trigger a higher seeking whereas prosperity may well block it.

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 …

Transformation of nature seems a long journey, but realizations  had been achieved in past by many. So why can’t in our yoga we focus more on realization compared to Transformation. If so, will the below method will work or some other method & practices to follow? 🐛✨🦋☀️🍁❄️

It is a question of one’s aspiration. Certainly one can strive for the Divine Realisation which is anyways the first indispensable basis. But there are several paths to it. In the Integral Yoga the realisation is sought for by all our …
