AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dear Sir, I want to know whether can I visit Sri aurobindo’s and Mother’s room ๐Ÿ˜‡on my birthday? I am very eager to visit their rooms and sit for sometime. If not then on which dates can we see their rooms?

Sri Aurobindo’s room is no more accessible on birthdays. However it opens on the 15th August,ย  24th November,ย  05th December and the 24th April.ย  On 21st February and 29th February both the Mother’s room as well as Sri Aurobindo’s room opens. On the 17th November the Mother’s room opens.

However nowadays things are in a flux and hence one should check before coming.ย 

The other thing to organise is the accommodation which is very difficult in February and August.  November 17th to 05th December is a very good period to come.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I am wondering if you have anything to say on the order of practice.

I understand that we should live in the present moment and remain open to the Divine Will. However, I find it difficult because I do not really enjoy the work I am presently doing. How can I remain peaceful, sincere, and open to the Divine while being fully present in a work that I do not enjoy? ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

The Gita gives us the complete answer to this problem.ย 

First thing is to take up an activity that is in line with your swabhava, your innate temperament. If one does not know that then one should study oneself, one’s interests, tendencies, natural qualities and capacities and try to see how they can be best put to use in the work you are doing…
