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

Please excuse the length of this email. I have elaborated—perhaps much more than necessary—in the paragraphs below, but it can be reduced to two questions: Though I don’t like the contents of RAP music, I am drawn to the form of it. Should I engage with it to develop the skill? 🗣️🎵🎶🎼[…]

Hip-hop is a form of singing. The lyrics are the content one fills in the form. Just as one may serve poison in a golden glass or nectar in a cup of mud, so too the two must be seen distinct from each other. Of course it is wonderful to serve nectar in an appropriate bowl of gold. But it is not always the case. 

As a form, Hip-hop brings a unique dimension by trying to break free from all forms and bringing a new possibility in the world of music more consistent with the pace and the consciousness of the new age that is…
