AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I have contacted a Magazine, have asked for some writing work, Writing Blog ✒️on any topic related to resurgence of India. How can I do this work perfectly. What topics should I choose. I know you may say I should first learn and study then start these kind of works. But I want to try once. Hope you understand..

Well one should first do a deep study of what India is and stands for lest one does more harm through half baked ideas as we often see today. One should love India as a mother and dive into her soul. Read Sri Aurobindo’s Renaissance of India and other writings to prepare yourself. 

Meanwhile you can take up subjects that deeply touch you, reflect upon them until you feel inspired. Offer it to the Mother. Stay as quiet as possible and then let the inspiration flow. If this is difficult then another way is to study various aspects of a subject, say the life of one of the Rishis or Indian music or Sanatana Dharma and then write a scholarly article. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
