AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In your talk I came know that the initial translated book Prayers and Meditation by Sri Aurobindo was a very special as The Mother herself distributed the Self signed copies to some disciples and today I realised the immense value so I request you to guide and write to me๐Ÿ™.

So excited I am that the 1940 published book SIGNED BY THE MOTHER to SHANKAR is my possession. It happened so, that rushing thru the old book case at one old residence which was home to Late Shri Krishnanandji some kilometers from my place, which we visit every Gurupurnima, I grabbed this copy of Prayers and Meditations.

It is a beautiful Grace. To receive a book signed by Her, especially Her Prayers and Meditations, is an indication that She has accepted you completely.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

How can one transform the Vital? Could you please provide some examples of Transformed Vital? ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿฆ‹

A transformed vital is free from the clutch of desires and the strong hold of the ego that keeps it at the service of itself. As a result of this the average human being is prone to anger, fear, greed, frustration, ambitions, lusts of various kinds turning life into a veritable hell in pursuit of pleasure. A converted vital, on the other hand seeks ..
