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.

I think it is wrong to say my life hasn’t changed at all. I’m trying in my own way to follow whatever I have learnt. One thing is for sure, that I have moved away from the fear mongering about karma that I often saw in traditions and lamentation about world existence. Mother and Sri Aurobindo’s words have definitely brought clarity to mind, and though it hasn’t completely translated into action, I am making changes everyday. I am also reminded that though I must take action, it is not by ‘my’ strength that success will come. I have faith that the Divine will one day make of me what She wants me to be.🪷🌹♾️🌌

Very beautiful attitude. I can fully understand the need for some decisive experience that pops up from time to time.

The decisive experiences however come

What does the Mother mean by Divine Love in this context? I thought that love for Divine and Bhakti will enable us to find the psychic being. I find it paradoxical that love for Divine leads to finding psychic being and coming in contact with psychic being is what gives us true Divine love. What is Mother cautioning us against? How to understand Mother’s words here?🤍🪷✨🌌💞

Divine Love is the Love of the Divine, the Love that the Divine sends in this creation to heal and transform it.

My friend told me that writing Savitri is as beneficial as reading it and it seems that The Mother has said it, please let me know where do I find it, which source. If yes, please tell me more about it. I’d LOVE to write Savitri daily, a notebook for only writing Savitri. I want to start it with more clarity in this regard so that I start it with pure enthusiasm and bliss.✍️🕊️🤍♾️

I have not read this statement of the Mother unless She said it personally to a disciple. Probably Pandit ji wrote something like this. What

In Savitri, the Divine Mother incarnates only through Ashwapati’s penance, and Ashwapati is Sri Aurobindo, and the Divine Mother is the Mother. But their incarnations occurred almost simultaneously. So how does the boon that Sri Aurobindo received connect with the Mother, and how is it related to the Divine Mother whom he met in the supramental world?🤍🕊️♾️🪷📜

Sri Aurobindo himself said that it is The Mother’s coming that made it possible to fulfil the Yoga. Before the Mother’s coming he could realise

I was reading the small book called ‘The Mother on Japan’. There She explained how that being tried to suck the life force out of her, how she battled on the occult level and finally was successful in getting rid of that flu. She found the root cause of that flu is the sudden deaths of soldiers who weren’t aware of their own death which separated them from their physical bodies. The decomposition of the vital force of this event caused havoc. People who came in contact with this cloud caught the flu, third day they used to die of they feared too much. On the 7th day they were completely cured. All this was in Jan 1919, fast forward to March 2019, exactly after a hundred years, we get Covid. But what’s the cause? Why this pandemic has to or must occur every 100 years. I’ve read many theories on this and I concluded with the fact that it’s all man made. But after reading the Mother’s words, I’m wondering is there any man’s evil mind behind the Covid or something like 1919 happened and we all caught the decomposed vital cloud? If yes where did this cloud originate from?😶‍🌫️☁️🦠🧬 

There is a cyclic aspect in the movement of Time and forces and tendencies do try to repeat themselves taking advantage of this cyclic movement.

I have been wanting to talk to you for a long time. But I don’t know where to start. My daughter has come to you, to the holy land of Sri Mataji and Sri Aurobindo ji. I could not come with her. I wanted to come this week but did not get leave from my job. But I will come soon to meet you. To the holy land of Sri Mataji and Sri Aurobindo ji. To visit their holy Samadhi. But till then, the many questions in my mind do not let me sit quietly. There is a strange kind of restlessness in my mind 🪷🧘‍♀️🌳☀️[conti]

I understand your feelings. It has not been an easy life but which life is easy after all? Each one has to face their challenges

For some time now, I haven’t been feeling comfortable in my hostel — especially in my room. There’s a constant sense of heaviness and unease that I can’t fully explain. Whenever I’m in the room, I start feeling low and demotivated, as if my energy is being drained. Even on days when I try to focus or keep my mood stable, I end up feeling dull and disconnected.🛏️🏢🎒👥

The simplest way to protect oneself against all kinds of adverse and vital influences is to take The Mother’s Name and remember Her. Keep a

I keep posting quotes and words of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother on WhatsApp and other social media platforms because I can’t keep the bliss I get after reading Them. The world needs to know the ecstatic nectar of their words. Last year I attended various camps conducted by Sri Aurobindo Society and Auroville. They just ridicule that I’ve joined “Ashram” and I’m asked to not run away from the house possibly wearing a white saree and shun all my responsibilities here. My neighbour is 60 year old, he scolds me to turning my head to Ashram because according to him I should be doing all this at 60,🌟🪷🧘‍♀️☀️

I would simply smile at their folly. If they insist, I would point out the story of Nachiketa in the Katha Upanishad. If they are
