AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I was fortunate to come across Nirod da’s two talks on Champaklal ji. It was so very touching and taking close to Them. Maybe I missed it or was not there about his leaving the Ashram before his final departure. Would you mind sharing some link or clarifying if I am wrong in my impression? 🙏🏻🪷

After The Mother’s physical withdrawal, Champaklal ji had practically no outer work, as his whole life was centered around Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. 

After their withdrawal, Champaklal ji was outwardly free so to say. Inwardly, he was free since long. Now with no other outer work, he went around the world carrying Her Presence or rather being carried by Her all over the world, to the US, UK, Europe, Hong Kong, and several places within India including the Himalayas. Being a Jivanmukta, he was not bound by any rules. Towards the last few months of his earthly life he went to Gujarat, where he was born. Apparently, he went to take some Ayurvedic treatment. But during his stay in Jantral, he developed high fever, wherein he ultimately left his physical body on 09th May (1991?). His body was cremated and the ashes and remains were interred in a samadhi there in Jantral. 

This, of course, is only the outer account. There are beautiful and inspiring stories and photographs of his travel that I wish someone had collected and compiled. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Recently, I have started the habit of sleeping with mother’s organ music playing by my side. I experience extreme freshness and energy when I wake up. I want to understand why I experience such freshness and energy. Please can you tell me about it. 🎶🌙

It is not sleep or the number of hours we lie down that makes us fresh and energetic. During sleep we come in contact with the Divine within, though for a few minutes and do not remember it. But it is this contact which …
