AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

We know of so many people who are facing impossible situations and problems and they are helpless. They do not know what to do or whom to ask. 

This is a dedicated site for those who are searching for answers, who want to break from their present repeating circles of life and looking for answers that will understand them, help them find a new way-a new solution towards life beautiful and Divine.

Today I was thinking about donating money to the beggars, and a thought came to me that if a beggar is in good health, why shouldn’t he work for himself and earn his own money? I also believe that it is the evolutionary struggle that will help them to develop, and if I provide any money, it will create a hindrance to the same. 🤔❤️‍🔥💰🌻[…]

You are absolutely right, without a doubt. The Gita even goes on to say that something given without due consideration of Time, place and circumstance

One of your answers about Marriage is that it is for going together for Higher Consciousness and for Sadhana. Each one respect each other. After 23 years of marriage, if the husband’s aim is only to lead an ordinary life and, in each step, humiliate and disrespect the wife, then what will the wife do? 😣🧑🏻‍🤝‍👩🏻🌼[…]

It is for this reason that the ego has been given to man, to ensure that the self-development of the individual is not stifled or

Alok da, it’s been like two-three years since I got an introduction to Savitri, and discourses upon it by M P Pandit, yours and others. I intuitively knew – this is a text that I should be carrying like an inner recitation throughout my life from now on, but still I came to postponing and delaying totally getting into it all this time. 😊🙏🏻🌻📖[…]

Reading Savitri everyday is itself a Yoga. If you can do this with quietude and inner concentration, a page a day or more, contemplate upon

I have a weak left knee. I tend to sit on a stool and meditate. Someone told me that sitting cross-legged was more spiritual and that I should try to sit cross-legged on the floor. They added that sitting cross-legged is better yogically and that it also prevents arthritis. Is this correct? 😥🦵🏼🧘🏼‍♂️

Whatever be the merits of sitting cross-legged from the physical point of view, its spiritual benefits are doubtful. Sri Aurobindo and the Mother never advised

Dear Alokda In Balakandam of Valmiki Ramayana, the following sloka  gives the curse of Parvathi on the Earth (during the birth of Skandha): “अवने नैकरूपा त्वं बहुभार्या भविष्यसि ।।1.36.23।। न च पुत्रकृतां प्रीतिं मत्क्रोधकलुषीकृता । प्राप्स्यसि त्वं सुदुर्मेधे मम पुत्रमनिच्छती ।।1.36.24।।” 🙂🙏🏻📙🌏[…]

The curse of the gods and the realised seers are often a blessing in the obverse. The many Masters are the kings who will rule

Dear Alok da, I see some edits to the original photographs or symbols of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo. These are usually done by some well-meaning devotees. Some recent examples are – instead of the lotus and water inside the square of Sri Aurobindo’s symbol, someone placed the Mother’s symbol in the square; I once saw Sri Aurobindo’s Dec. 1950 photo sleeping on the bed, taken chest-up, turned 90 degrees to make it as if He is standing with eyes closed. 🤔🖼️✨[…]

Ideally one should not shift or rotate the photograph. Some touch up is understandable since no photo can ever capture the ‘real thing’. However if

Namaste Dr. Alok Pandey, there is one thing that bothers me day and night, I haven’t got an intuitional thought about this, nothing that I have read makes sense about this – Why is the Mother of the Universe, not just the Physical but the whole Manifestation and the Mother of the Gods, isn’t able to get a few 10,000 dollars per day to support the Ashram? 🥸🔥[…]

What has wealth got to do with the work of supramental manifestation? Lord Rama’s mission was to neutralize Ravana. For this he renounced his kingdom,

You have the stance that India should align with the US instead of China. But recent Epstein files disclosure exposes the worst of the Asuric Nature of US elites, regardless of Party or Ideology. Even the Chinese people I have met are actually some of the most refined people I know, in contrast to degenerated Americans. Do you still maintain your stand? 🤔🌎🥀

Nations are built and developed over centuries and millenniums. Look at what was Germany doing just less than a century back, in fact whole of
