AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Is it safe to practice Astrology and Palmistry as a side hustle for a student who has faith in the Mother but lacks a specific Ishta Devata, given concerns about involuntarily taking on others’ karma or attracting negative celestial influences?🪐🫴🏼✨[…]

I have a keen interest in Astrology and Palmistry. I’ve been reading about it passively for the last two years. Now I am considering practicing it as a side hustle, as I’m a student and my goal is not to pursue a Career in Astrology. It’s just a topic in which I’m interested.

According to many astrologers, it’s not appropriate to practice Astrology without a specific Ishta Devata, as by doing so, the astrologer may invade others’ Karma, which can affect them. I have faith in the Mother, and I only like to pray to Her. Is it okay to practice Astrology?

I don’t see how one takes upon oneself the karma of others by the practice of astrology and palmistry. Palmistry is certainly harmless. The only thing about Astrology is that too much dwelling upon these celestial beings may unwittingly build strong formations that could attract these influences. But this is rather far-fetched and there is no reason why one should not pursue this Science if one is naturally drawn towards it and has the temperament. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I feel the pressure on my crown when I do meditation. Also, is this a common occurrence? This crown thing? It appears now and again randomly and gains momentum during meditation.

Yes. Pressure upon the crown takes place before the full opening.

Many, many, many experiences come. It is best not to get too much into analysing, understanding them else one can easily get distracted or the ego may get puffed up. It is like getting delayed by the scenery on the way. Stay focused on giving oneself more and more to the Divine, growing in faith, sincerity, love and surrender,…

Someone asked me whether Sri Aurobindo has adopted the ideas from Hegel and Kant. How can I reply to him? Please help me and refer to some books.  📚🧠✨

People who make such remarks are unfortunately very poorly informed about either Bergson and Kant let alone Sri Aurobindo whom they have certainly not read. 

Sri Aurobindo’s major works include two treatises on the Vedas including a deep and intricate study of Vedic philology, the major Upanishads with a detailed commentary on the Isha and Kena, detailed essays on the Gita, Foundations of Indian Culture. His two most important works has, one, the story of Savitri as a base; the second,..
