AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In the opening chapter of the human cycle, there’s a passage on how over time prakriti is devalued and became a subject of purusha and in western research there is this observation that with the axial age around 500bc with Buddhism, Jainism and later Plato in Greece etc.. where man felt truth as up there and something above and earthly realm is denigrated and in the 20th century philosophy, literature and culture there was a revolt against this notion and this vitalist affirmation of life here and now happened. So is this phenomenon in a way unconsciously a return of the worship of the mother and her dance in this earthly life cos humanity seemed to have stopped worshipping her in favour of Nirvana/god the father up in the sky above😏

Absolutely. The conception of God who is averse to beauty and rhythm, in general with Nature, a strict and intolerant judge who is quick to punish the detractors and rewards the believers whether their acts are aligned with His Will or not, who governs through the rule book and fear, induces guilt and shame for eating the forbidden fruit, clearly belongs to the dark Ages. But as the Night recedes humanity is bound to develop a more universal conception of God, one that intuitively feels the unity of God and Nature as was present during the ancient days when the Sanatana Dharma flourished. It is inevitable as we have entered the transition towards a new cycle.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
