AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Who are Mahalaxmi, Maheswari, Maha kali and Maha Saraswati? Are they the mother herself or the deities? Some schools of spirituality say ki devi devta deities ki sadhana at most can take you to their realm which is way lower than moksha👑🪷🦁 🌌♾️[conti]

Then whom to worship or do sadhana for liberation the 1st stage of spirituality. 2) sir apko das mahavidyas k baare me kuch bataiye. Who are they ?? Is their worship safe and can be done at house did mother and sri maa did das mahavidyas sadhana. What about tantrik siddhas who do hard core tantra sadhana in smashan what happens to them

Maheshwari, Mahakali, Mahalakshmi, Mahasaraswati are four aspects of the Divine Mother that prepare our nature to receive and manifest the Divine. There are other aspects of the Divine Mother but they are not so easy for human consciousness to receive and bear. The Divine Mother is much greater than any of Her aspects. 

The Dasamahavidyas are part of the ten great goddesses that have emerged from Mata Parvati and are centered around Lord Shiva. They have their specific roles and functions. 

However none of the gods and goddesses can be greater than the One Supreme Divine Reality, Sacchidananda Ishwara and His Shakti, the Divine Mother. The gods and goddesses are cosmic powers and work within creation. But they don’t have the key to go beyond creation, that is Moksha. While they can and do grant certain boons, they are not bound to do so simply because a special puja is being done to propitiate them. This is because they have to act in keeping with the cosmic order and cannot override it. This means that they cannot act in contravention to the law of karma. They can help you if your nature supports their action. 

The Tantrics doing shamashan sadhana generally invoke powers of the lower planes. These powers may grant some temporary objects but are often dangerous. They can make the soul captive to them. All these pujas and rituals belong to the occult and religious domains and have little to do with true spiritual living which is primarily about change of consciousness. 

The Mother and Sri Aurobindo are way above these things.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The sadhana once begun never really stops. Yes one encounters temporary halts, – almost everyone goes through these phases, but that is because we need to assimilate the gains of the sadhana.

Dear Alok da, thank you—the lines from Sri Aurobindo in your email helped immensely, and while old holds haven’t entirely left, they feel looser.
