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.

Though since more than a month every nite as I sleep off Mother’s Savitri commentaries with Sunil da’s music is on only but other than that what can I do🤔?

The Divine has created countless galaxies, universes, and billions of stars with planets, yet only Earth🌏 has human life. Everything changes outside Earth’s atmosphere, like the lack of sufficient oxygen. Why does life exist only here, and that too in such an imperfect forms?

Yes, earth is a very special place that has been formed for a specific Divine Purpose. You may call it a laboratory of evolution, the
