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.

Each god has two functions related to we humans :-1) In religious sense they are supreme since they can fulfill any legitimate wish to lead a good life but in ignorance. 2) In spiritual sense they are just different aspects of the supreme managing the creation but can be taken as door through which one can pass over to the supreme. Am I understood correctly?

Yes, but with a slight correction. In the religious sense, each god cannot or would not fulfil all the wishes. For example Saraswati can give

As I am Srimad Ramayanam, Srimad Bhagavadam, definitely they give a clear insights about Divine qualities different and higher  than  even Satwic, or ascetic qualities,we come across among Great kings and Rishis, Tapaswins. So personally for me reading SriRama, Srikrishna, Kapila, Vamana , all  very helpful in understanding SriAurobindo’s  evolution theory of Man into Divine. Secretaly every body cherishes to be like SriRama , MotherSita , but feel it’s impossible, so self contented with reading about them, meditating on them, we close the book। But SriAurobindo gives a different dimension to our thoughts that even I can become a Perfect Part of The Divine Lord Rama or The  Divine Mother Sita , embracing some divine qualities from them.

Yes these books help nourish our psychic parts until we are ready to undertake the journey and become what we presently hardly understand.

Many atheists are living happier lives than theists. At least that is what I think. Believers seek help from divine forces to live a happy life, while atheists live their lives on their own strength and do not take any help from divine powers. Why is this so? Is the concept of divine powers an illusion or are human efforts more powerful than the power of a deity🤔?

But who said that atheists are happier. None is happy upon earth except one who has mastered his ego and conquered his desires, – believing

Alok da, the other day my son came from school and he was so irritated he had to do a write up on Mahatma Ghandhi and he just did not want to, he said I have had it ahimsa and all that, then I remember that when I was a child I myself was irritated to study about him, all that was do boring and then why son asked me why is he even called the father of the nation ? And I know studying ghandhi ji is so boring oh these dharam karam ki baatein as a teenager I could not relate to him, he is not like Shivaji or Rama or Krishna or Sri Aurobindo.. what should I tell him…🤔?

You can tell him that everyone has his own ideas and so did Gandhi ji have his own. As far as his ideas go, they

I had a dream last night I saw that I have board a  very very fast moving train 🚅and we are going to some place which we don’t know but seems like a place like there was too much crime and chaos, everything is fine we sat down, then suddenly everybody in the train was asked to came in between the walking area between seats of the train away from the windows, I was surprised why we are asked to do so…someone told me it’s going to a place like Bihar and we want that nobody gets to see that there are people inside this train…I could not see people outside the train as it was moving with full speed…but they said there are people outside and they may attack us..so people inside the train stood in between the path of the train.

The extremely fast train is the vital aspects of Nature under whose influence or impulse we often move. This is disorienting and confusing especially as

Can you explain to me the difference between brain🤯 and mind ? Can you rationally explain the existence of something beyond the physical organ. To me it seems obvious that everybody is different because of genetic makeup, their environment etc. but Roshni is saying there is something beyond brain that operates and tried to explain but I can’t see the logic in it nor understand what she’s trying to explain it’s too complex.

That things, even material things exist beyond the limits of the senses is well known, isn’t it. The universe is teeming with very small objects

Alok Sir, It is almost 14 years when I just read something very little about Gangadharan (The Disciple of Mother and Sri Aurobindo) in one Magazine published by Vedmurti Sri Ram Sharma Acharya (Shantikunj), Since that time I was extremely attracted and fascinated for his simplicity and devotion towards Mother and Sri Aurobindo, just one day before I knew something more about him and his Writings ( Sri Aravinda Ashtothara Shatha Namavali) 108 names of Sri Aurobindo. 1- History about writing these names🪷.

There is no history as such though The Golden Chain did carry a piece on him, long back. These names appeared to him in his

I came across a reel on Instagram where a person’s body was being burned after death, and someone was moving it around with a stick. It really shook me 🫨and made me reflect deeply, if our body is ultimately destroyed like this, does it mean it has no real significance? I’m trying to explore this from a scientific perspective: are we merely a combination of cells, atoms, and chemical reactions? What exactly are we? Why are we here? And most importantly, how do I begin to discover the answers to these questions?

Human thought has swung between two extremes with regard to the physical body. One extreme materialistic view is to regard the body as everything, as
