AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dear Alok da, I offer flowers to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother every day. Some days the flowers look still fresh, though not completely fresh, they are still not withered, and I don’t feel like throwing and replacing them because they are a day old. Is it ok to leave them as such, or is it better to replace fresh ones every day with the offering attitude? 💐😊🙏🏻✨

Though there can be no fixed rule at home but replacing is not needed at home if the flowers are fresh. Some of them, like orchids, last really long. 🪻

Affectionately,

Alok Da
