AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Karma yoga, Bhakti yoga, Gyana yoga, and Surrender – all are needed for coming out of the clutches of the materialistic life. Only trying to acquire Bhakti, or only knowledge, or Karma yoga alone for getting the Bhagavad Sakshatkara is not possible. Am I right in my views? 🙂🙏🏻

Bhakti is the swiftest way not only to a static liberation but to all kinds of mukti.

But bhakti without jnana tends to become narrow, exclusive, dogmatic, egoistic and even fanatic. It gets distorted by the forces of ignorance and becomes only an outer display with little real power to change or liberate.

Similarly bhakti without karma becomes ineffective, a means for personal escape from the world, impotent to save or help mankind, incomplete and exclusive, limited and confined to ritualistic worship.

Hence we see in the Gita the sequence is jnana, karma and then bhakti as the crown.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Dear Alok da, I would like to know more about Dutta who was Mother’s companion from Britain. Are there any books that write about her? Or can you tell me something about her? What did she represent?

Dutta also known as Ms Hodgson was The Mother’s friend since adolescence. She traveled with the Mother wherever She went and stayed in Pondicherry until leaving her body. 

The name Dutta was given to her by Sri Aurobindo meaning ‘Offered one’. 

She is indeed the one who was the first one to exclaim on the Siddhi day ‘The Lord has conquered death’ which…

Today, my parents were listening to a very popular Shiva Mahapuran Kathavachak. During the Katha, he mentioned that Lord Shiva is superior to Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma. The reason he gave was related to the position of their respective Shaktis.

This is even factually incorrect. Saraswati has been revered and worshipped since the Vedic Age. At that point she is not regarded as a consort of Brahma but as the goddess of Vak, the Word of creation. There is no Brahma but Brahmanaspati, or Brahaspati in the Vedic Age. Later Puranic legend shows Saraswati brought out from Brahma but it is she …

Namaste Alok Da. I want to learn about the Typal Beings. What are they, and when did the typal beings appear in the Involution or Creation process? Were they created after the 4 fallen Emanations (Consciousness or Light; Life; Love or Beatitude; and Truth), as the 4 Emanations fell, as the Mother took the plunge; or after creation and during the evolutionary process? 🌌⚔️✨🙏[…]

The typal beings are not evolutionary. They are fixed to type. The gods, the titans, the beings of the mid-worlds are all typal beings. 

Creation began with the first four emanations (Sat-Chit-Tapas-Ananda). These are the four original aspects of the Divine. Each being an aspect of the Divine acted in complete freedom sharing the absoluteness of the Divine. But this very sense of absolute freedom led to their being ‘apparently separated’ from the Divine Origin. There could never be any real separation. But each perceived the sense of absolute power as if independent of the Origin…
