AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Please explain Sri yantra. Few say that it is the geometrical depiction of all aspects within the universe created out of the union of Shiva & Shakti (Bindu) and thus is the true representation of the Adi Parashakti – Dynamic Aspect of the Divine🤔.

Sri Yantra is a symbol depicting the perfect harmony and unity of the three higher three lower worlds leading to a blossoming of creation towards fullness and eventually perfection. The fullness (circles) is indicated but the perfection (square open on all four sides to infinity) is hinted. It is indeed a most powerful tantric representation of the World Mother who joins the creation with the Creator. However we must not forget that no symbol or pattern can bind the Supreme Goddess who manifests only by Her own will, if She so Wills, and is not subject to any vidhi or upasana. These are at best aids, sometimes a powerful aid, but unsupported by corresponding inner movements they remain like an invalid ticket whose secret unlocking code is not in the geomatric design but in the soul of the sadhak. The Bindu is the individual soul which is the meeting point for the union of Purusha and Prakriti. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

It clearly speaks of enjoying (bhunjeetha) by renouncing (tyaktena). Very simply the whole verse starting from …

In raising children, there are often times when children are not open; they just want to stay in their so-called unconsciousness and even if they are aware deep down or are made aware even by gentle talking, they don’t want to take it. Instead, they may shun any positive thoughts or help given to them. What to do then? 🌱💛

Each child brings his own unique destiny and the line of growth determined by his soul’s unique possibility and a unique past. The role of parents is to help the child, if they can, to discover their own path and support their journey to the extent they can. Unfortunately most parents want convert them to their own way of thinking, their

I am currently 29 years old and will soon turn 30. I have been looking for a life partner who can also be my best friend—someone who is understanding, supportive, and open-minded. It is not that I am not receiving marriage proposals, but I am hesitant because I do not want to end up with someone who is narrow-minded, rigid, or overly orthodox. 💞🌱 […]

Marriage, whether love or arranged is a blind date. It is because life of does not come in standard formats. There are invariable challenges through which one may grow or break down. In simple words life is an evolutionary jigsaw puzzle and marraige is no exception to this rule. If you are bent upon an ideal, – which is good, then you …
