AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

ย I am able to meditate with immense ease in Puducherry. Be it Ashram, Auroville, Sharanam etc. Why is it hard for me to do the same concentration or meditation at home? Yes I need to create such atmosphere from scratch on a daily basis. I am not able to do it. Lately I feel the dire need to cleanse my aura and thatโ€™s possible by only concentrating on Mother and asking Her the guidance for the same. How much of concentration/meditation is needed? How can I inculcate that on a daily basis because you know how Indian households are. Help me out.๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ

Yes it is due to the atmosphere which is palpably different in the Ashram, Auroville and places dedicated to Sri Aurobindo and The Mother vis a vis a typical city dedicated to earning monet and enjoying life with it. The collective consciousness is quite low especially in cities. The only option is to create your own atmosphere by an inner Remembrance of the Mother and to build your little space into an Ashram house / room by the books, photographs, incense, music and invocation of the Mother. 

To think of Her is meditation. There is no limit to it but usually the mind cannot sustain it and hence one should offer one’s work and activities to the Mother turning the whole of life into a living meditation. 

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 …

Sir, I wanted to ask you about Charisma. What is Charisma? Why do some people have it and others don’t? And how can one increase one’s own Charisma? ๐Ÿฅธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿฆ‹

What is generally called as charisma is some exceptional ability or capacity that gets reflected through the person’s outer nature. Generally it is some kind of a vital energy, not necessarily good. Sometimes, rarely though, it may be a kind of intellectual development that attracts others.ย …
