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.

Sir, we have desires, but one cannot demand more than a form. If someone imagines the infinite, they use things like the ocean or the sky, which are forms in themselves. Even the concept of the formless is an attempt to give it a form. The poetry of poets is also in these forms; it attempts to express truth, beauty, love, and everything else within these forms. Sir, can we desire something beyond form? For that, we first need to know of its existence; and if we know that it exists, it will take on a form because we have a mind, is that correct🤔?

Yes, to arrive at the Formless we have to go through the doors of form. To arrive at the infinite we have to go beyond

What is the difference in integral yoga and vaishnav bhakti yoga. In vaishna yoga surrender is the mean for sadhana and many great vaishnav saints have achieved the highest realization. In vaishnav literature we found the psychic transformation which express through many bhakti sangit, bhajan etc. If the psychic transformation can prepared us another two transformation so why the great bhakti yogis are not speak about supramental? Really I don’t know what is supramental and why it is necessary for mankind? If through bhakti the psychic transformation is happening then is it right to those great bhakts have realised that state they have also go through this purification of nature and they have fought in nature level, if it is true then why Sri Aurobindo says this is new yoga? I can’t understand it. Dada Can you clarify my doubt🙄.

Vaishnava bhakti, in fact any true bhakti as we see in certain forms of Christian Yoga, Sufism, Shakta bhakti can all lead to psychic realisation,

Alok da I see all around women getting injections on their faces, getting plastic surgeries, it looks so ugly and fake, why people don’t realise or see that it’s looks so bad, millions of dollars spend to permanently damage one’s body, why do women do this, I feel because though they call them selves modern yet they want to be pleasure object to men or is it that they want to reverse age on the lines of an aspiration to remain young? When will this falsehood stop when will the beauty’s standards change😠 ? 

Women (and Men) who pay an excessive importance to ‘looks’ generally suffer from low self esteem. They are not leading their own true life hence

I had a very conscious dream last month..I was upset about non-existence of true love that day. I was lying facing the ceiling with my open hands in bed. In my half sleep I clearly consciously felt a huge rough but sweet and loving hand touching my finger with his one finger. Hand was very very rough and huge. But I felt so good after that, I told about this conscious incident in my sleep to my daughters and left it. I was so conscious about my bed room and my sleeping position and that hand. I have the habit of watching tik tok videos.I have many lord Shiva😇 songs popping up. I suddenly saw a video this week with the same hand touching a single finger of a lady reaching out for lord Shiva. I was shocked as it was the same hand and same incident. It was Lord Shiva and in the post it was written “Who said true love does not exist” Is it Shiva who came to console me??It is so shocking to me. How can this be true?

It is very clearly a true and beautiful experience. Why can’t Shiva come at your call or simply sensing your need. He is a great

In 1st time when we enter to this yoga then we feel the psychic devotion and aspiration towards the mother and lord. But after some long time why we loose this contact and facing the challenges of nature, whether it like great or tiny challenge? In which attitude we will face this problem and can be establish the same contact with the divine through psychically🙂?

This happens to all because we are not composed of one part. At the first the part that is most open is touched under the

I have a question regarding one of the mother’s statement on Durga, where she asks durga to surrender. Dada, how Durga is not a part of our mother as we have grown up listening her stories and she is considered a divine embodiment herself, so how is she different or distant from mother. When we talk about Mahakali, Mahasaraswati aspects are we referring to different approaches of mother or they are different divine beings altogether🤔?

Durga is very much an aspect of the Divine Mother just as the great Gods Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma and the rest. In fact seen from

I have a very weird relationship with my parents when it comes to their relationships with their parents. I don’t share a very happy relationship with my grand parents due to their behavior with me and my family earlier in my life. They do not fit in my circle of people and i have communicated to my parents clearly that i will only have a cordial relationship with them, in terms of only greeting when we meet. I prefer to keep my wife and kid away from the grand parents influence, however my father’s expectation on this is more and we have a tiff every time an incident happens. I have come to terms with this situation, however how do I communicate this to my parents clearly and again😠?

Communication is mainly meant to build bridges by expressing what is going on within oneself. The purpose is to help build a bond of deeper

I quit my job after 8 years. However there are still some aspects of the job for which I am responsible. The company has committed to me to remunerate for the work that I will do staying out of the system. However I think if they are irresponsible enough not to hire some one to replace me, why should I be involved. Moreover since the owners don’t care about their company and not hiring some one, why should I be emotionally involved and not move on. The only reason I agreed to do some work is my healthy relationship with my immediate boss. Please advise if I should continue helping them or not🙄.

Your decision to help or not to help should not be based on the owner’s approach towards the company but on factors personal to you.

Alok Da, Please provide a solution to a problem. Sri Aurobindo says that the soul of a nation is not subject to the law of Karma. It would be a great kindness if you could guide us about this. In fact, we see that what imperialist Britain did, it is now having to suffer the consequences. There will be other examples as well. Is India also grappling with the problems it faces today due to its own actions, its own Karma🤨?

The law of karma is a law of evolution through experience and learning rather than of reward and punishment. This happens ordinarily through rebirth because
