AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Namaste. I want to get clarity about the location of these places referred to in the poem URVASIE. Though I thought that poetic symbolism need not have a geographical accuracy in it, I found some suggestions in the poem which help to locate these cities along the course of the river Ganges.ย 1.Budrichayshwur โ€” is it Badrinath? Ila- is it somewhere along the course of Ganges as a city even in the current times?๐Ÿ“–โœ๏ธ๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿ’ฎ

Sri Aurobindo often points out the directions of north, northwest, south etc along the poem. Though this too can be reconciled as some spiritual imagination with a psychological colour, I feel there may be some occult significance to it which can regulate and alter our mood when the image is meditated upon.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Administering medicine to my 1-year-old daughter is a challenge. She was underweight according to Australian standards and had a low appetite, so the doctor has suggested iron and multivitamin drops, which she absolutely despises. Initially, I would give them forcefully and we would both end up in tears. ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿป๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒผ[…]

First with regard to the value of an action. It is not the action itself but the intent that matters most. Whatever you did was an act of love, with utmost goodwill for your child. That is all that is needed. I am sure this love and goodwill and your prayers all have gone into her improvement and not just the medicines…
