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 me🙏.

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

The counsellor didn’t help Alok da. lol. Modern day psychiatry / philosophy is all based on medication and drug’s. For them smoking and lsd is normal. Stress is normal. Emotions not. Sensitivity not. She prescribed pills for me. I guess turning to God / Maa is best. 🌼🙏🏻

Yes, that is how the extreme reductionist view works. Of course medicines have their own limited role when the mind enters a too chaotic or extreme phase. But it is not enough. And yes turning to the Divine Mother is always …

I had a curious dream and I remember it perfectly, so I wanted to consult you about it. I saw a picture from a distant and elevated place. In the picture, I saw a one floor building, in a shape of a perfect square and with no roof on it. The building was further sectioned into 4 perfect squares. There were also non 🌙✨ […]

It is not just a dream but a very beautiful experience that revealed to you the truth of your destiny, your true destiny, even a glimpse of your true being, the central being in its Divine Home. That is what the square opening to the top indicates. The four perfect …
