AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Why we need to know about Rama or Krishna and old India, isn’t all that outdates? What will we learn in Modern India from them today?

Rama and Krishna are the two names that have governed the Indian psyche and moulded the Indian thought and temperament for so long that it is impossible to understand India without taking into account these two greatest architects of Bharatvarsha. The four Vedas, the twelve principle Upanishads, several puranas and many great teachings that have sprouted upon the spiritually rich Indian soil find their epitome in the life and personality of Rama and Krishna. The Avatar of Treta has lain down the foundation stones of the Indian culture, the Avatar of Dwapara has filled it with rich and diverse colours weaving a vivid and wonderful tapestry of Indian life. Sri Aurobindo as the last Avatar brings to this richness a crowning significance thereby completing the temple of India or shall we say, the temple called India.

And if we are not aware of our rich ancient Aryan culture which is based on the strong foundation of timeless Sanathan Dharma and Truth then we too Indians will get into the trap of hollow western theories of feminism and wokeism that will eventually destroy everything what humanity stands for.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Sri Rama leaving the kingdom and going to the forest is only Satya Nishtha, not Renunciation or Sacrifice, but Bharatha offering the kingdom to Rama Paduka and remaining in Chitrakut and governing Rama’s kingdom is Renunciation. Am I right? 🫴🏼🪷😊🙏🏻🌻

It is a question of semantics, playing with words. Satya nistha is the motive but the act is renunciation. Renunciation is an action that may be done for a number of reasons such as inability to face the challenges of life …
