AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Some devotees of the Mother suggest that when we are in her presence, we shouldn’t pray to other gurus or gods or perform any unnecessary kuldeiva pooja. Coming from an orthodox family, this can be challenging. Why is it advised not to follow other practices? Does this relate to energy levels😳?

It is best to be one-pointed in Bhakti. That brings best results for inner progress. But when we pray to different deities then it brings different and often contrary influences which may not be helpful for sadhana. That is why absolute surrender to one Master or Guru is recommended (though not enforced) in every tradition of Yoga. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Respected Alok da, when you realised Maa is everything and in everything. Then, if you go for Puja Rituals like Brata-Upabasha according to Hindu Dharma (you see Mother in every Gods), then is that insincerity to Maa? Should I do it or not? 🙄🙏🏻👨🏻‍👩🏻‍👧🏻‍👦🏻🛕🌸

As far as I am concerned everything else dropped naturally, effortlessly. I was anyways not much into rituals and knew that many of these things are aadambar and have little to do with Hindu Dharma. Neither the Gita nor the…
