AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Some one said in an online Pathachakra that Sri Aurobindo directed some disciples to leave the Ashram if they are not believing Sri Maa as the Divine Mother. How far this is based on facts?

He did not direct but his brother Barin and Dilip Kumar Roy eventually ended up leaving the Ashram.

One reason attributed to their departure is their lack of faith in the Mother.

There was also another disciple whom Sri Aurobindo did suggest that if he is unable to have faith in the Mother and listen to Her, it may be better for him to be elsewhere.

Sri Aurobindo had made it abundantly clear that the entire arrangement in the Ashram including the progress of the sadhaks was completely in the Mother’s hands. He also made it abundantly clear that opening to the Mother is the key to this Yoga. So claiming to be in the Yoga but refusing to have faith in the Mother or opening to Her is in itself a sign that one is not serious about the Yoga itself.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

I’m in cancer treatment and it looks quite good. But I have to deal with a medical system here in Switzerland that on one hand is very excellent but on the other is often working with “worst case” scenarios causing fear and anxiety in me.

Namastey Alok Da, I was reading some predictions related to Pakistan and China by Mother and Sri Aurobindo on the website, Was the Mother referring to a future event that is yet to manifest, or was this vision specific to that time period and did not occur due to divine intervention or a change in the working of forces? Is there any future possibility where China might invade India?🪷🐘🌍🏮

She was referring to a possibility, a possibility that was strong at that moment as well remains a risk for the future. Sri Aurobindo also said that they are very restless and saw the threat of Red China invading India through Tibet. As long as the Communist party …
