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 had a dream that a pandit tells me that I have 8 hrs to live in a very dark gloomy room with a booming voice. And then I ask him what could be done. He says pray to Hanuman ji he will listen to you. Then I try to but can’t and then my naani says do it in pooja room but I can’t concentrate and then I pray to krishna. But I panick. Alok da are dreams real? I have been dreaming of ghosts and dead and now this😨.

The origin of dreams of this kind is mostly fear. Just take the Mother’s Name, Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa

Dear Alok bhai ,today I read this from Prayers and Meditations . “The joy present to us in activity is compensated and counterpoised by the perhaps still greater joy that we feel in withdrawal from all activity “. Please do elaborate on this. Kindly put more words, as to why the Divine is called ‘a mystery’ and ‘the wonderful’ in the below shloka? Is the Divine indeed so Great and the Absolute😇?

He is a mystery because none can know Him by the natural instruments of the senses and mind. And even when we go beyond the

I don’t understand why many so called modern women have child and then run after career achievements money, fame leaving its almost like abandoning the child to servants etc, if they wanted all that why they needed to have a child in the first place? And if one has decided to have a child shouldn’t basic common sense say that child should be priority? Why such so called educated women don’t understand that their child will be inferior in terms of psychological development forget about soul progress and new creation😏 …. 

It is because of the stress of different values in a civilisation. In most ancient societies, there was a stress on social order and preservation

I have some questions about the difficulties of human nature. We have been told that the gods dislike vices like pride, sloth, arrogance etc. However, if they know that it is difficult to get rid of them, then why do they still get angry when we display these vices (atleast in the stories)? Also why doesn’t Nature let us escape from these things so easily? I feel like humans are almost helplessly struggling against such things but still all the blame is put on us. I hope I’m wrong but sometimes I feel like that the cosmic deities don’t understand human struggles😥

I don’t think gods are portrayed as perfect beings or as a paragon of virtues in any theology. Their role is largely to keep the

Is India forever destined to brag about it’s spiritual heritage and not have the material industrial power cos I was reading Sri Aurobindo’s economic reports that were available in the volume early cultural writings and the industrial vision he had for the country and how a nation without flourishing manufactures is essentially servile. Although we made progress since independence it seems like we’re nowhere near what he’s envisioning for the nation. And we have the industrial mammoth China that is at our border and Pakistan which has nothing to lose planning together for a confrontation, how are we to face such dangers😥?

We are mixing up several things here. Yes Indians are basking too much in the past glories but it is understandable given the long passage

My sister hasn’t scored well in NEET and isn’t getting any MBBS college. She doesn’t have any inner calling or conviction to decide what she should pursue. We were thinking of admitting her to a BAMS college. But everyone is advising that there is no scope for an Ayurvedic doctor. Can you guide me regarding this and tell me what can be career options after pursuing BAMS🤨?

One does not study a branch of knowledge for career and money but for the joy of learning, gaining knowledge in the field of interest,

As I’m a commerce student, when I read the subjects like economics, business development, and others that certainly focuses on how to grow businesses, but what I see largely is, the whole economy, the consumerism, utilitarian culture, the today’s business world is altogether in the hands of Asura, people are no way worried about the resources, they are just running for “growth”, and don’t know what’s the end point of this growth?🤨[conti]

The wise man is right. You should study to know the deeper truth about commerce and economics, and when the time comes, place it at

Actually I wanted to know why you said only at an individual level we are a portion of The Mother? Why can we not be her portion individually & spiritually both? After all she can be the force with consciousness. What is the need to separate the divine into two – Consciousness & Force, in fact into four – Existence, Consciousness-Force & Bliss. To me there is all possibility that the same energy we feel around is all – Anandmayi, Chaintanyamayi, Satyamayi and Sarvashaktimayi. I am sorry if I have misinterpreted your response. Please correct me if my understanding is flawed🫤

I see the reason for the misunderstanding. It is perhaps because generally by individuality we think of the ego personality which is a temporary structure.
