AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In your recent talk, you mentioned Akash Vani. What is that in the context of Savitri? 📖🗣️🌸

Akash Vani originally referred to the subtle vibrations in the etheric medium that take the form of either writings visible to the subtle vision or else luminous thoughts that pour into an open and receptive mind through the faculties of inspiration, revelation, intuition. 

I can lose track of the speech quotation marks in Savtiri, i.e. “sentence.” Sometimes the end quote mark is not there. Is that intentional?

Yes, it happens especially when the sentence is rather long and one skips the dot at the end. Yes, when the dialogue continues but there is a break, then there is no end quote. It comes later. Occasionally it ends in the middle of a line and hence can be missed.

Sometimes I lose track on whose talking. How can I not lose track of who the speaker is? One has to go back to the beginning of the passage to find the speaker. 

Basically, a slow, deliberate reading helps to closely follow the conversation or the sentences. Slowly, the structure sinks in and then one follows with ease. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Namaste Alok da. I was reading the ‘Bhawani Mandir’ under Vandemataram, where Sri Aurobindo said, “We will therefore build a temple to the white Bhawani, the mother of strength…” and said that the mandir would be built away from the modern cities, etc. Did he mean to build the physical mandir? And if so, was it built? Or is it more in the subtle space over India? Please could you shed some light? 🛕🗺️😊🙏🏻🌸

Here is what Sri Aurobindo himself said (in third person) when asked about the idea of Bhawani Mandir. …
