AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

During Ganesha chaturthi people play movie songs, may I dare say, in Sri Aurobindo’s language, the lower vital songs, doesn’t Lord Ganesha gets pissed at our stupidity? Or is Lord Ganesha seeking that vital energy from us through the festival? Yes I know I sound crazy but this got me thinking so much. When do people start respecting Ganu bappa as he’s supposed to be? I know we’re evolving and all. I wish it happens soon so that I can witness it. Most probably I’ll be there, as someone else in different region. 🥁🎺🕺🏽🐘

He is not happy at all. But most of the time it is not Lord Ganesha himself but one of his ganas in the vital worlds who quietly suffer the torture from his devotees. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
