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.

Alokda, its been 1.5 year since my dadi whom I was extremely close with passed away. After a very long time she came in my dream – called for me by my name and for some reason out of all in the house only I heard her and attend to her. She has a headache and I look after her and take her to the hospital for treatment- and after treatment she is fine but I dont remember seeing her fine but I get this deep feeling she is and I thank The Mother with all the love for looking after her. Later in morning as I woke up, did my routine but I woke up with a headache. Can you help me understand Alok Da?🕯️🕊️🥀🦋

In all likelihood something of her came in contact with you to rest for a few moments before the dissolution of the last remnants of

This  new creation, and the needed transformations are  fully done by  Sri Aurobindo and The Divine Mother without any external help. So it’s enough, if we  keep ourselves open to their Grace, the needed spiritual transformation will happen. So for them, no necessity to explain or elaborate, “Savitri”, our sincere attempt itself will do the needed understanding, by their grace are my thoughts right? 🤍🕊️📜♾️

If one can sincerely open and surrender to the Divine Mother with faith then that is enough. Several letters of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother

Sir please explain the with example concept of anadi and nitya how space is anadi is their any end of space and if yes how? How energy is nitya? As you must be aware, Space is expanding. Expanding into what? We can’t say that Space is expanding into Space! Nor can we say that Space is creating more Space by expansion! 🌌⚡🪐💥

Perhaps we can say that there is measurable Space and immeasurable Space. Ancient Indian thought instead postulated a material Space that is measurable and an

Also I find some summary and explanations for Savitri in Google. Also One lady, was taking class on Savitri line by line in Savitri bavan. So I want to know how authentic these explanations are? and is  it needed to follow as we keep  teachers in English classes  for explaining the poem from your answers?It’s clear to me, it’s a mystic poem to be understood   in the heart by The Grace of The Master. And it may differ from person to person, time to time.📜♾️🤍🕊️ 

Actually the mind gets often into an either or position. But if we look at it little widely then there is a place for both.

As I am immersing myself on a daily basis into Savitri I was asking myself if I can also listen to it while at the office working or walking down the street? Normally I read it aloud in the evening and listen to it before sleeping. But i was wondering if I can also play in the background while at work in the office – while still being aware that it is most beneficial to listen to it with complete focus and a silent mind?🕊️🤍☀️📜♾️

Yes of course, the more one immerses oneself in the Divine Name, the Divine Vibrations, whether waking, sleeping, walking, exercising, resting, working, driving, the better

Alok Bhai, only you can resolve this confusion in my mind. During a discussion on a serious matter between Mother and Sri Aurobindo, it was decided that if necessary, he would leave his body, and Mother would stay here for the physical transformation, because her body was more capable of performing this task. After his passing, it seemed very difficult for Mother to stay here, and Pranab Da had to constantly look after her.After the discussion between the Lord and Mother, what was it that made it so difficult for her to stay here?☀️🪷👑👑🌌

I didn’t quite understand the difficulty. She is the Divine Mother, the Supreme Creatrix, ‘the Shakti of Sri Aurobindo’ as Sri Aurobindo as he himself

In one of the video from online I came to understand the 4 aspects of the mother. Maheswari, Mahakali, Mahalakshmi and Mahasaraswati. But in another there is a discussion about Ananda aspect of The Mother, which brings splendor of power and love and intensity of Divine joy unknown to the earth so far. Could you please elaborate little more on this aspect. Can we consider it as a fifth aspect of The Mother?🤱🌏🌌♾️

The four aspects of the Divine Mother mentioned by Sri Aurobindo in his wonderful book The Mother refers to the aspects that have so far

What does this mean? “This is indeed the note of Bengali literature and the one high thing it has gained from a close acquaintance with European models. The hideous grotesques of old Hindu Art, the monkey-rabble of Ram and the ten heads of Ravan, are henceforth impossible to it.”Sri Aurobindo has spoken highly of Valmiki’s aesthetics.. then what does this “hideous-grotesque” refer to here?🏹☀️🌳🐒

Here he is mainly referring to Bankim’s imagery in which Sri Aurobindo finds ‘beauty, terseness, strength and sweetness’. The hideousness is not about Valmiki’s Ramayana.

I could not understand completely the below portion of “A Dream” by Sri Aurobindo: “… that they considered the mechanical observance of the external rules of conduct as spiritual merit…My questions: 1) “…that they considered the mechanical observance of the external rules of conduct as spiritual merit”. What does this mean?📜✨🌌✍️

It means that observing the rules and rituals of religion, keeping fasts, visiting holy places mechanically does no good. It is merely useless dust. This

Sir is making a strict schedule and walking on the path taught by Maa can be done parallely? Is suppressing emotions or felling or desires is what in this path what should I do? Sir in military we have that much strict schedule one doesn’t even time to thought more about anything so will following schedule like military and walking on the path or Maa is possible 🧘⏰📝🏹

What do you mean by strict? Military discipline is enforced from outside. It doesn’t change the basic nature, only puts a near cover over it.
