AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Men 👨‍🦰today seem to be a whole lot less masculine and more emotionally weak than what they were in the past. What are the causes of this trend? Could it be that there is no longer mandatory military service and life became too comfortable? How to reverse this trend on an individual level? What are the practical steps and decisions?

As far as emotions are concerned women are (and always were) generally stronger than men. Social pressures have only further strengthened them. In fact the only thing that men had little more than women was physical strength but slowly it is being lost, partly due to lack of enough physical challenges and partly because of misuse. Life has very few physical challenges now because the stress is on mental and spiritual evolution. What one needs is conscious physical training, a methodical physical culture to take care of the physical base of our existence. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
