AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sri Aurobindo has written that there was once a civilisation spanning India and Africa, but it collapsed. What happened to it? Why did it collapse? 🤔🗺️

It was a closely interconnected civilisation culturally as well as commercially through maritime routes. The outer reasons for collapse were diversion as well as drying up of the rivers, climate change and diminishing livestock. But inwardly it has always been the same reason, the extreme arrogance, greed and ambition of the rulers threatening the rest of life upon earth. It is through the Heads of States that the Asura of Falsehood acts most powerfully, something similar to what we see happening even in recent times over the last century. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
