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

Someone asked me whether Sri Aurobindo has adopted the ideas from Hegel and Kant. How can I reply to him? Please help me and refer to some books.  📚🧠✨

People who make such remarks are unfortunately very poorly informed about either Bergson and Kant let alone Sri Aurobindo whom they have certainly not read. 

Sri Aurobindo’s major works include two treatises on the Vedas including a deep and intricate study of Vedic philology, the major Upanishads with a detailed commentary on the Isha and Kena, detailed essays on the Gita, Foundations of Indian Culture. His two most important works has, one, the story of Savitri as a base; the second,..
