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.

You have heard & seen of the recent incidents which happened at Pahalgam as well as in West Bengal in Murshidabad district where Hindus are being mercilessly killed & tortured. The so called religion & its followers have become so treacherous recently. We haven’t seen this kind of hostility in a few years. So i want to ask you that what shall be done at this time & what is the ultimate destiny or fate of these radicals & its false hearted people😱?

Let me share with you my response to the same question asked yesterday. It (the recent shooting of tourists by Islamist terrorists) is a wake

Why do always younger siblings get advantage like they first preference to them only for eg if we fight for a pen the adults will say give it to the younger one, it’s very irritating when this happens . Even when the younger does terrible craft ( mostly ) when we say bad to it the younger starts crying and I get scolded and the vise versa happens the adult says you can do better. Even when the younger lies and and I say the truth, but still the elders will give it to her, saying that she will small you give it to her. For example, it happens for a pen which I bought. Younger will say it’s mine lying and the alders give it to her saying you are big let it go. Always it is irritating😡

But it is done so that the elder learns to give and get the joy of giving whereas the younger develops natural respect towards the

Alok da, how does one flourish and use spiritual values at a toxic workplace? Especially when your seniors are ensuring that you are crushed for being on the right side in a place ethics are violated, especially those very seniors ensure that lackeys are given power over you so that one’s morale and courage is destroyed and one falls in line. How does one act spiritually in a workplace as bad as that🤨?

The spiritual consciousness remains completely indifferent to the human play in ignorance. It watches it as the means lower nature uses for its purposes, itself

With all our gods and goddesses😇, why did we suffer such violence, such brutality at the hands of these savages for 1500 years? And still suffering to these day, wherever we are the minority. What’s the point of having all these gods and goddesses if they can’t protect their people? Where are they hiding? Why are they watching from a safe distance while we go extinct here?

The gods, i mean the true gods who govern the universe as cosmic managers, do not act in a partisan manner as we would like

Does living in an unorganised and dependent way impact our overall well-being and personal growth? I often find myself lazy and disorganised, heavily relying on my mother and wife for almost everything, whether it’s household chores, cooking, or managing daily tasks. When they’re not around, I neglect my responsibilities, leave the house in a mess, avoid cleaning utensils, and let things pile up🫨.

It of course impacts us, outwardly by drawing unhealthy forces in the atmosphere and inwardly by creating chaos within. Basically by our thoughts, feelings and

Today I have a question regarding Indian Folk Art🖼️. I have no formal education on art but right from my childhood days besides academic studies I always loved to pursue both art as well as craft. After my marriage I travelled to many places & got the opportunity to attend many workshops on various kinds of art. At a later stage in my life I got interested in Indian Folk Art tradition & at present learning Madhubani or Mithila folk art online . But I am a bit confused which one to pursue in the long run ..Indian Folk art or Fine art? As in the Indian Folk art the stories are based on Gods & Goddesses, I would like to know is it advisable to paint the pictures of old traditions or shall we move forward with fine art. All  the Mother’s paintings are fine art so would love to know is there any writing of Sri Aurobindo on the Indian Folk Art? Please tell me your take on this also.

Folk art carries its own charm. But if you ask me from the personal progress point of view then fine arts is certainly better. Aesthetics

What is this? What is the pain inside of physical heart?

Pain in the heart is due to the pressure of the psychic being. It is perhaps this pressure that brought calm in the lower nature.

I came across these difficult passages from the Vedas📖. The following are the mantras: I shall now disclose that the father produced seven kinds of food through meditation and rites. One is common to all eaters. Two he assigned to the gods. Three he designed for himself. And one he gave to the animals. On it (food) rests everything-whatsoever breathes and whatsoever breathes not. Why are not these foods exhausted although they are always being eaten? He who knows the cause of this inexhaustibility of the food eats food with pre-eminence (pratika). He obtains identity with the gods and lives on nectar. [Yajur Veda, Brihadaranyaka Upanishad I, V-Manifestations of Prajapati, 1] What are the 7 kinds of food,what is meant by 2 he assigned to the gods?

Food involves all that we take in, consume. Prana or life energy is common to all. Material food is given to animals and all that

One feels the basis of all good work in a solid peace that nothing can disturb. Just when you think you have attained some foundation in peace, something or the other attacks you and disturbs it all. How does one cultivate a peace independent of outward circumstances?  What are those required qualities or actions that need to be done🤔?

Yes thinking about it almost soon enough makes us vulnerable. Over the years the one perfect remedy I have felt and known is to shift

Is our purpose in life merely to please our parents by doing whatever they ask? When we don’t meet their expectations, they often say, “You have made us unhappy,” or “Because of you, we are suffering.” They emphasize ideas like, “You must keep your parents happy, you will never find happiness if you make them unhappy,” and regard parents as equivalent to gods. Even for someone who is not pursuing a spiritual life, is it necessary to always prioritize pleasing parents? When they don’t understand your path, your goal and say things like these, what should one do?

If the purpose of life was to please parents, elders or anyone else then the Gita would be meaningless. The purpose of life is not

Yesterday I was just laid on my bed looking at the ceiling listening to music. And I was just thinking of Mother Her Sweetness. I had my eyes open and whilst the music was playing I went into this state of just inexplicable distance. Still with eyes open, I saw a majestic, cosmic, energy with colours I can’t really name. But like a mix of orange and yellow but very subtle colours not powering or crude to the “eyes” (eyes open I don’t know how to explain). Then there were two parts to me. One who was witnessing what’s about to happen and one part of me partaking.

It is a very rare Grace, an experience of the Divine Mother in Her cosmic aspect and the psychic being (the tiny part which is
