AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What was the relationship between Krishna and Draupadi? In many of your talks, you said that Draupadi is the manifestation of Kali? Was she a Divine Incarnation? ๐Ÿ‘ต๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ”ฑ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒผ

Yes, the Mahabhagawat Purana, a deeply mystical literature describes Draupadi as an incarnation of Kali. But that apart, the story of her birth from the fire of yagna performed by Drupada to destroy his enemy, her role in holding the Pandava brothers together to ensure the destruction of the Kuru clan, her deep love and complete trust in Sri Krishna as friend and brother, her fiery temperament which could shake even Bhima, all point towards this secret truth held within her soul. She indeed became the main catalyst, the power behind the pulling down of the arrogant Kshatriya clans of that Age. No one but the power of Kali could achieve this radical revolutionary change, especially the toppling of the thrones of tyrant kings. This is precisely what Draupadi achieved through her chosen instruments, the Pandavas.

Certainly the Hindus knew the various means of purifying the mind and intelligence and, during the heydays of ancient India, the Vedic period and even much later, they did turn it both inwards and outwards. That is how they discovered such wonderful things which included plastic surgery, an elaborate pharmacopeia, warcraft and deadly weapons, principles of politics and administration, rules of mathematics and chemistry, linguistics and …

Sir, is whatever happens with us is always for our best? ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒผ

The Mother has given a very beautiful and complete answer to this.

‘Is it really the best that always happens?… It is clear that all that has happened had to happen: it could not be otherwiseโ€”by the universal determinism it had to happen. But we can say so only after it has happened, not before. For the problem of the very best that can happen is an individual problem, whether the individual be a nation or a single human being; and all depends upon the personal attitude. If, in the presence of circumstances…
