AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

But according to Maa’s teaching, should I go or not? What should I pass to my daughter, she is 8 years old? She is curious to know about all the gods. My husband is a Shiv bhakt. And after my 1st visit to Pondicherry after the 12th exam, due to some experience, I started loving the Mother as Guru, but had no knowledge. 🙂🙏🏻❤️‍🔥🪷[…]

After so many ups and downs in life. Worshiping Shiv ji, I found Maa to be everything. My husband always helps me to do puja bhakti in my interest, but till now he is not in the same guru. Even though I was non-vegetarian because of my both family, but last 3 years I became a vegetarian, but due to a health issue and some guidance of Mother, I started non-veg again. But I am confused whether I am doing wrong or right? Please give some guidance. Jai Maa! 🙏🏻🌼

As far as the Mother’s guidance is concerned about the gods and the temples, She advised ‘a luminous indifference’. The gods are there no doubt and they are helpful in their own way in the terrestrial work. But all our faith and surrender must go entirely to the Divine Mother. This has always been the teaching of all spiritual paths. This does not mean any antagonism or looking down upon those who believe in or still need to worship the gods. In religious life, it does not matter because one is selfishly centered around oneself and goes naturally everywhere, to men and gods and whoever else to get it. It is a transactional relationship. But when it comes to the true spiritual life, then it is all about giving oneself in a joyous surrender to the Deity or Guru or God or the Avatar one is naturally drawn towards and loves. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

You wrote that the beings residing in Sri Krishna’s abode would wish to be here in order to enrich themselves. I would like to understand whether this means that the souls presently residing in Sri Krishna’s eternal abode would be able to come to the divine world that will manifest on Earth in the future. 🦚🌍

The beings in higher worlds as for example Goloka are not necessarily souls. The soul is a portion of the Divine that enters the earth and goes through the evolutionary process and return to the Divine, either to rest permanently in Him annulling itself completely or else to be part of the higher worlds as for example Devrishi …

I’m curious to know about your views on spirituality becoming so widespread in today’s world. We see spiritual figures having millions of followers on YouTube and other social media platforms. To me, it looks like a business and not spirituality. 🌱🧭[…]

Spiritual evolution has been going on since some time now. Its eventual purpose is to evolve humanity beyond the vital-mental man he now is to the spiritual and eventually the divine superhumanity of the future. Until now this spiritual evolution was confined to a few prominent personalities who tried to communicate it to the followers who almost invariably reduced it to a Religion with mental rules and regulations. Nevertheless mankind …

A strange dream just before I woke up this morning: I saw that I was consoling my father, hugging him about a situation where he was soon going to die, and at that time I felt a sensation of a very big snake passing by as if its body touched me; I also heard its hissing sound and saw its big tail end. 🐍💭[…]

This seems to be a premonitory dream and the snake seems to be ‘Kaalsarp’ (Time-snake) that chases us. We can either heed to its warning and evolve swiftly or else get paralysed with fear. So it seems that your father (and you too by default) has entered this phase of either an evolutionary leap or else a succumbing down to the evolutionary pressure and the challenges…
