AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

The other night I had a dream that my younger sibling -sister was dying 😱 and she said she did not want to die but her state was such that I told her it’s time to go, I got up heavy feelings, What does this mean?

Often names give us the clue or else the nature of our relationship with the person. Or the state of consciousness this person represented to you.

And something in you wants to let it go but yet with a heavy heart perhaps.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

These lines describe Death’s appearance: “Half-seen in clouds appeared a sombre face; Night’s dusk tiara was his matted hair, The ashes of the pyre his forehead’s sign.” (pg.595) – Is this a description of Lord Shiva? Is it Lord Shiva, or even Lord Yama, who is appearing as Death? Because matted hair and ashes on the forehead are worn by Lord Shiva and Lord Yama. 🙏🏻🌼

He stood in silence and in darkness wrapped,
A figure motionless, a shadow vague,
Girt with the terrors of his secret sword….

I had some suspicions regarding Advaita Vedanta and wanted to clear that up. The philosophy or the sect of Advaita Vedanta seems to be quite a problematic philosophical school, sometimes even a tool of the Asura. Or at least an Asura used by the divine to utterly break the old moulds of Bharat. 🔥[…]

I very much share your insight. Adwait Vedanta, for that matter all the different schools of Vedanta err by taking one particular realisation to be the ultimate. In doing so they almost unwittingly discredit or discard other equally important and powerful realisations that are needed to complete the picture. It leaves many unanswered …
