AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Please explain these lines of Savitri: Immortal hush before the gods are born; […]

A universal Force awaited, mute,

The veiled Transcendent’s ultimate decree.

– When the gods are born, bhaiya? 🦚

The gods come into existence once the Divine Mother impels the Supreme to create. This is beautifully described in the Rig Veda as well as Savitri. Once the Will for creation is sanctioned then the Divine Mother brings out various aspects of the Supreme as the gods, and lends something of Her Power to each of them whom we know as goddesses. These first gods and goddesses are the cosmic managers who in turn release several emanations which then become the numerous gods and goddesses. 

So we may say that ontologically it is the Supreme beyond all else. Then the Paramehwara as Satchidananda and Parameshwari as Jaganmata. Then the various gods and goddesses manifest. That is why man can either come in contact with the Supreme via the gods, which is a long and tortuous way, or directly through the Divine Mother who is the link between creation and the Creator.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Dada, there is a professor at IISC who is a sadhaka in the sampradaya of Madhvacharya, and he says that, according to him, the way to find your Swadharma is to do what you can persistently despite failure.

Is drinking small quantities of alcohol really that bad? Most people I know consume alcohol in some measure. I noticed that the ones who quit it completely face backlash from Society. For example, I heard business people say that you can’t trust a person who doesn’t drink. 🥂💬🍸🎶[…]

It is not a question of good or bad from a moral point of view. But drinking alcohol is certainly harmful for the physical, as well as psychological and I would even say spiritual health. The list of physical problems is too long and generally too well known to elucidate. …

Yesterday suddenly realised during my prayer with my mother that the seat of the Psychic Being is Highar Vital, in the Hridaya Chakra. Initially, I feel Peace, Bliss and Delight up to the Vishudhi Centre. Suddenly realised that my heart has received The Mother’s Peace and is spreading to all the centre of my all the inner parts and similar to the mother light also. Suddenly feel that the heart centre is doing everything. Alok da, is our Sadhana going in the right direction? Please guide me. 🪷✨💖🕯️

Yes absolutely, the psychic being is behind the heart centre and when open and in the front then all becomes easy and natural. 
Your prayer is a beautiful psychic prayer and the yoga going in the right direction.
