AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In one of your talks, you mentioned that you used to read Savitri aloud at night in your house and the family living in your neighborhood had a sick child. The child had a serious disease that was difficult to cure and because of your reading, it was cured. Am I right, and can you elaborate on the healing effect of Savitri on the physical body? 📖🌿

The experience you refer to was during my posting in Punjab. The child has Asthma and his father had chronic backache. We (my wife and I) were staying in their house on rent, with a thin wall separating the two houses. We used to read Savitri aloud around 10 at night after completing the tasks of the day.

The sound was heard across the thin wall. One day the house owner, a Sikh gentleman, came to ask what we were reading at night. It was his observation that since our reading, the illness of his son and his own got cured. I don’t know whether they subsequently recurred or not after we moved away.

There have been number of similar instances I am aware of. The Mother has indeed said that Savitri has a healing power in it. Being the mantra of transformation, it is no wonder that it changes us from the very roots. Of course, a certain openness and receptivity is needed on our side.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I completely understand your situation. Unfortunately it is far too common and a problem quite universally. An ancient saying goes that children of the same family are rarely born under the same roof. The family is a beginning and a base but most of us turn it almost into a goal. Each soul brings its own destiny. Two persons living in the same house need not have the same degree of inner evolution. They may be not only in different …

(1) I’m a 29-year-old, unmarried girl. I work with my father in his office. But I am not a totally financially independent person. My father always tells me to take responsibility. I want to do that and become financially independent, but whenever I mention going to another place for a job, my parents deny and they say, “This is your age for marriage and what will society think if you go out?” 🌱🧭 […]

I completely agree with you and fully understand your need to travel alone, find your own partner and make your choices. It is the right thing to do and is the dharma of the Age. How else will one grow and discover oneself. 

But this will be very difficult as long as you are financially dependent in some way or the other on the family. The most important thing you need therefore is to have is financial independence. As long as you depend upon…
