AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sri Krishna

Respected Sir, Reference is CWSA Volume 28 Page 499, subject “Krishna as an Avatar” Answer No.3. Question – If Krishna was an overmind “God”, that means he was not an incarnation, not the Divine, but somebody else who claimed to be the Divine – i.e., he was a god who somehow thought he was God. Not understood, what Sri Aurobindo wants to say about Krishna?🪈🦚💙🛞

There is a gentle sarcasm in it. The disciple has asked a question

Dear Alok Da, In the Gita chapter 5 verse 15, it is said that the Lord accepts neither the Sin nor the Virtue of anyone… It seems that the Higher Being is indifferent towards the movements in the lower hemisphere as it is typically taken for granted in classical Advaita Vedanta, but the Mother in one place said that the reason for Downfall of India is to taken for granted that the Higher plane is not taking place or controlling the lower movements… But in the Gita, just the opposite is written… Please clarify.📜🦚🪈📖

This is a question from my mother. After listening to your talk about the Mother’s Aspects in Savitri, she wanted to know about Ashta Lakshmi and what they represent. Also, what was their role as the eight wives of Sri Krishna? What is the difference between their love and Radha’s love for Sri Krishna? 👰🏼🦚😊🙏🏻🌷

The eight wives of Sri Krishna are the eight aspects of Nature-forces or Nature-energies from the subconscient, earthly to the higher heavenly kind. By wedding

Why did Sri Aurobindo and the Mother alone descend to bring about the Supramental Transformation and elaborate a complete path of Integral Yoga, while other great souls like Sri Krishna, Mahavatar Baba, or altruistic truths-seekers, though Divine, did not undertake this specific, comprehensive work of Transforming earthly life?🌄❤️‍🔥😊🙏🏻🌷

One could answer this question in different ways. But first we need to draw a distinction between a sattwic, selfless, honest person and a spiritual
