AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I feed birds🐦 almost every day in our backyard. I have bird seed and I also feed the stale bread, or roti. Lot of birds come and it is fun to watch them from the window. Lately I have noticed 3 crows coming and making lot of noise. I have put out some rice couple of times. I am not sure if they come to eat rice or they are coming for some other reason. I know thee is some importance in our culture attached to crows. Could you guide?

The crow symbolises practical intelligence. As birds they are very intelligent and sometimes can  sometimes they get attached to human beings.  They are also quite sensitive to forces of the vital world and perhaps their repeated coming indicates they are sensing some kind of forces in the atmosphere.  Perhaps you could offer the grains to the Mother calling Her Name while feeding the birds.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
