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

Communication is always a two way process. In speaking or writing about the Divine it is also a question of receptivity of the hearer and the reader. Not all are ready for these stories just as not all are ready for studying physics or language. So too the stories of the Divine appeal to a certain type of consciousness, while for others …
