AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Is Satyavan in Savitri Symbolic? What was so special about him?

Satyavan is the soul of the man caught in the net of Ignorance. Yet, and here lies the difference between Satyavan and all others who are so caught, that Satyavan is seeking for the light that would not only liberate him but give him its true value by becoming a bridge between the highest and our present struggling existence.

It is this search for something higher and greater, this quest for the truth of our existence, for the deeper meaning and true purpose that singles out Satyavan apart from the rest. It is to such a one that the Divine Grace comes in its most beautiful and potent form, that is Love.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

My niece who is 12 yrs old doesn’t like sharing😥. If she takes her favorite food to school and her friends ask her to share, she doesn’t give or gives a very small piece. If by chance she happens to share a chocolate with girls she doesn’t like, she wants to snatch it away. She is attached to Krishna, and only thing that pacifies her is when we tell her that Krishna likes if she shares what He has given her. She says “I know it’s bad, i know it’s a devil that says this, but I can’t overpower it. It tells me that those girls did bad and said bad things about you, instead of that you shared your things, now you go steal something from them. Or I keep thinking what will I get if I give them”..[conti]
