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

I tell them to pray. Doctors are not Gods. There is a power above Doctors that can also change the course of Destiny, but they don’t believe that prayer has such a power. People worship God, but they don’t believe that He/She is Almighty, who can do anything, even miracles. They are totally dependent on Doctors. 🩺🧑🏼‍⚕️🙄🙏🏼🌸

In relationship one should look for a long term togetherness. Short term attractiveness, outer looks etc do not last long. Important thing is whether your thoughts, aims and goals …
