AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I had a dream which is bugging me😣. I wasn’t feeling well yesterday, there was this big fuzzy heavy feeling moving all around the body giving me warm chills, making me think I’ll be unconscious. Maybe it’s because of that. But I feel very unsettled because of the beggars, can you explain the below dream:

I had a dream that I was going to Jodhpur with my sister coz I had landed a job and I’m searching for a home with dangling lights where my friend lives. But as I’m about to reach suddenly a Sikh person isn’t letting me go. My brother escapes but that man wouldn’t let me go and then I finally go past him but then a lady beggar comes in my way and she asks for money but I shout at her a lot. Then she kind of curses me like when you need me ,I won’t be here to help. If something happens to your heart , I won’t come for you and I’m the only one in this area. But then I say sorry to her coz I felt a feeling of uneasiness letting her stay angry. I said sorry coz I was scared she won’t come if I need her.

Then as I go towards my friends home, iit starts to rain and it is beautiful with a small stream and a big garden thet leads to his home. Then I join work and I don’t like it at all. And there I see an old face from my high school days , a girl and I avoid her. And I promise myself I’ll find myself a home to stay after 3 days max. And then I woke up.

The dream indicates an inner shift taking place within you in which certain parts of nature are helping (sister) as well as certain other people and forces (friend). But there are other forces from outside that are trying to obstruct this inner shift. The turbanned person is doubt and the beggar woman is various needs and desires. In this process you are looking for a stable ground to launch the next phase of your journey. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I remember once reading in Sri Aurobindo’s commentary on the Isha Upanishad that one cannot become a Brahmin without first becoming a Kshatriya. I believe that I never had the Kshatriya element developed sufficiently within me, and it has always been a source of embarrassment and insecurity for me as a man. 💪🙏🏻🪷[…]

He said both are needed. But these are things ingrained within us. Brahmin and Kshatriya are not  soul states, inner innate temperaments and not so much of outer actions. Nevertheless everything can be developed by practice. By taking the challenges of life, through vigorous physical exercises, by praying for strength, by reading …

Bhaiya, Rishi Panchami fast is coming up, and I read the story behind it. Honestly, I found it quite absurd. The story talks about a woman unknowingly breaking certain rules during menstruation, cooking food that her husband eats, and then both of them facing severe karmic consequences in their next life. 🪷🙏🏻 […]

Yes, all these things have been added much later and have no authority in the main  Scriptures. It is a story added in some of the Puranas, mainly I suppose to enforce rules of hygiene for women during the menstrual period. This was one of the ways to instil certain hygiene practices through fear. It has no meaning now. Most of the fasts …

How should we understand deities like Subrahmanyeshwara (Skanda/Murugan) and Vinayaka (Ganesha)? Are they individual divine beings, cosmic powers of the One Divine, or symbols of different aspects of consciousness? How should an aspirant in Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga relate to them in practice? 🙏🏻✨

The four original gods, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh and, behind them all Krishna, are, in their origin, the four aspects of the One Divine, named in Indian spiritual thought as Sacchidananda. Sat (सत) is infinite existence from which Brahma ji emerges. Chit is Chit-tapas, Consciousness and Force from which Hari or Vishnu ji and Hara or Shiv ji …
