AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My question is, I can’t sit down in front of The Mother’s photo and do a prayer. But in the morning, only one time I pray for Her to stay with me at each moment. How can I increase my concentration on the Mother? 🙄🙏🏻🌷🖼️❤️‍🔥

Concentration upon the Mother’s photographs and praying to Her is one powerful way to connect. But a prayerful attitude can be kept the whole day by praying on waking up and before sleep,  before and after eating,  before and after any activity.  It is a quiet remembrance within by taking Her Name and offering the activity to Her. 

It helps to keep some small books of the Mother, such as White Roses and reading a passage whenever time permits. 

One can also keep Her music, especially Savitri music, playing in the background and keep a couple of quotes here and there strategically to bring back the remembrance. 

Rest is a matter of Time and practice. 

Affectionately,

Alok da.

We seek these things in ourselves and others even though nothing…

There are plenty of such instances such as the assassination of John F Kennedy who despite his personal deficiencies, was a good divine instrument but was killed.

There is something called as the human will, – individual and collective. It..
