AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I used to and still adore Shiva and Vishnu so much. But I was never attracted or fond of Feminine Gods like Maa Parvati, or Maa Lakshmi, or Maa Saraswati – but the respect and love for them was always there and equal. πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€πŸ¦°πŸͺ»πŸŒΊπŸͺ·[…]

It’s only after getting to know about the Mother that I’ve gotten so close to Her and I have conversations with Her as I do with Vishnu and Shiva. Why was it that I couldn’t feel that closeness as I did with the Mother before, with these Beautiful Shakthis I mentioned above?

It is because of the prominent place that the masculine aspect of the One Divine that has been given in tradition. Number of hymns to Shiva and Vishnu, but much fewer and not so well known to goddess Parvati and Lakshmi. Though tantra tried to correct the balance and the Devi Purana did bring Durga and Kali to the forefront, still, the collective faith and bhakti are heavily tilted in favour of the masculine aspect, Purusha, Brahman, rather than Prakriti and Maya that are even seen as the cause of bondage.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I had read earlier in the Mother’s writings that all the stars will get transformed. You too said yesterday, ‘numberless stars will lead to limitless multiplication of the Delight.’ How can the transformation of limitless matter alone result in so much Delight? βœ¨πŸŽ†πŸ’πŸ¦‹πŸŒΌ

That is only an eventuality, not any prediction. Stars, like any other matter,Β  everything else, has emerged from the same Delight. That is why they, like everything else carry within them the pulsation of a secret joy that one …
