AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dada, we are group of three friends (3 girls) living in different states. All three are followers of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo and discuss about our Masters and Spirituality quite often. Now, collectively we have discussed to read a particular book and discuss about it during weekends. But our interests in books are quiet different, so we cannot make a good decision regarding what to read. Dada can you please suggest a particular book of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo to begin with?📖📚📜✨

Read a book that is simple and practical. My personal suggestion would be to start with a Prayer from the Prayers and Meditations of The Mother. Next, read a few passages from The Mother’s Collected Works starting from Volume 3 (Questions and Answers 1929 to 1931) followed by a passage from one of Sri Aurobindo’s works such as The Foundations of Indian Culture or The Synthesis of Yoga. Then close with a few lines of Savitri. 

Raise a question or two and try to reach out for the answer. You can also write to me if you wish. 

Another way is to pick up a subject and each one picks up the suitable passages from the writings, shares them earlier and then discusses once a week. 

See which one works for you. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

It is not Darwinism but copy-catism if one wants to coin a word. The reason however is twofold. Partly it is due to the strong awakening of Rajas in a society that was, for a rather long time oppressed, supressed and made to feel low, in one word tamas. This is a resurgence of excessive rajas which will sooner or later stabilise and, given the …
