AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am planning for Pondicherry. I have some queries, please guide me: [1] Is this time fine to visit? 🌅[…]

It will be less crowded in June, which is a good thing. But the weather is generally hot between April to September. So keep the dresses accordingly. Chappals or slip-ons are better than shoes.

[2] Can I get Ashram food during my Stay in the Ashram?

Yes.

[3] Any suggestions for the first timer, such as what to carry, visiting places in the Ashram, minimum/maximum number of days to stay, activities, etc?

Keep it for a week.  

Light cotton summer clothing. 

Book a place for your stay in one of the Ashram guest houses, such as the International guest house (https://internationalgh.com/), Park guest house (https://parkgh.org/), New guest house. If they ask for a reference, you can mention my name. 

Book for a visit to Matrimandir one week before the proposed date. Booking is done through the Matrimandir, Auroville website mmconcentration 

[4] Any good Places other than the Ashram?

Auroville 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The children born to those who believe in the yoga of shri maa and shri aurobindo and practice this yoda are considered to be fortunate. I have heard that children born after 1956 are born a new  consciousness .The child of this seeker I am talking  about was born after 1956 and  why is it that the children of such a seeker not only do not have faith in shri maa and shri aurobindo but also harbor aversion towards Sri maa and Sri Aurobindo ?
