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.

I’ve been trying to develop a healthy outlook on the dynamics of man-woman relationships in the midst of a lot of mutually contradictory advice from parents, friends, and other parties. As of late, I started to investigate the old and still popular idea of the man being the dominant side of the relationship, with the woman submitting to his will and being obedient to him. […]💑👨👩‍🦰👐

The idea of male dominance is outdated and outrightly childish. Men and women are and should be equal partners. In fact if one is to compare in terms of qualities, then most of them such as the sense of beauty, harmony, love, care, tenderness, affection, sacrifice, self giving, courage, loyalty, fidelity, spirit of perfection in works, compassion, kindness, intuitive intelligence is more often found in women. Men, on the other hand have …
