AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Home » Dreams » Recently, I had a dream 😴 There was a very clean beautiful, big, old temple (Indian style) where some humans were staying, taking care of the temple. Suddenly, one day, tall, dark, strong people from far away lands came, fought to conquer the temple. They were hugely strong, slender, tall with pitch black skin carrying maces with thorns (all black). They were the most uniformly colored people I have seen ever, uniform black throughout the body. To me, they looked like well-looking, well-built rakshashas. A fight was scheduled, and the caretakers didn’t seem to mind much. They were willing to fight but they were not matched with the black people. The black people were all sitting on the trees around the temple and the leader was explaining their terms to the caretaker leader. While the fight was being prepared, I managed to divert their daughter of the caretakers and secretly took her away in a bus without anyone knowing, maybe the mother came with us too. I was more like a power telling her what to do, I was not physically on the scene. The daughter was crying but escaped. It seemed like the black people were arguing to get the daughter from the family if the conquering of the temple were to be successful. That’s the reason why I told the daughter to escape, however I didn’t have power to protect the temple. It seemed like this dream was happening in my physical body. Does this mean some health issues?

This is an amazing archetypal dream with very clear symbolic meaning. The temple is your heart, the caretakers are the positive godlike energies and forces. The tall, dark beings who are planning to attack are the negative rakshasic, adverse forces that want to take away the daughter of the priest. The daughter who is apparently important for the conquest to materialise is your developing psychic being that is helped by the Mother to escape from the attack of the adverse forces. The dream does not explicitly indicate what impact this inner event may have, if at all. In all likelihood the attack will not happen. But it does mean that you are marked out for some work of the Mother and for the spiritual life. It is important therefore to focus on strengthening the psychic being through reading and contemplating on the Mother and Sri Aurobindo. Keep Her always in your heart and call Her Name as often as you can. I think the proposed attack was not on your body but on your inner life. May Her Grace surround your life.

Affectionately,

So, Alok Da, until the time that I don’t organically open to the Mother with the revelation that She indeed is the Divine… How do I pray? How do I ask for Grace and from Whom? 😐🙏🏻🪷🍂

Even if one is unable to pray it is still possible to aspire. Aspiration is independent of belief even though there is a kind of faith implicit in it. One can also address the prayer to the Divine whom one does not yet know but …

What was the relationship between Krishna and Draupadi? In many of your talks, you said that Draupadi is the manifestation of Kali? Was she a Divine Incarnation? 👵🏼🔱😊🙏🏻🌼

Yes the Mahabhagawat Purana, a deeply mystical literature describes Draupadi as an incarnation of Kali. But that apart, the story of her birth from the fire of yagna performed by Drupada to destroy his enemy, her role in holding the Pandava brothers together to ensure the destruction of the Kuru clan, her deep love and complete …

Alok da, I need your guidance in my personal life because I can’t understand what to do. I am 36 years old. I have 1 girl child 9 year old. I left my job (Asst. Prof in Civil Eng.) after marriage. For the past 4 years, I have been confused about what to do in daily life. 👩🏼👩🏼‍🍼🌼🍂[…]

Home maker is fine and good but a woman’s life cannot be confined to the home nor should her role be limited to bringing up children. This is neither in tune with the demands of our Age nor with our own ancient culture where women participated everything including philosophical discourses, Vedic writings to battle and war and Sciences. Our Saraswati and Durga are examples of the feminine power in different spheres. So whether you have …
