AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Will the Mother get angry if I pray to other gods? I understand that she is a divine being, unlike humans, but I often feel guilty about it. Why do I have these feelings😥?

Why should She get angry? All is Herself. The gods themselves are Her children though She has a very special affection for mankind.  In any case since all the gods are Her powers and aspects, it is She who grants the prayer and acts from behind even when we pray to the gods. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Can you tell me whether this panic could be a result of pranayama?

Some types of pranayama can lead to difficulties. The safe ones are Nadi shuddhi and very simply observing the breath without trying to regulate it. Simple deep breathing also helps. This should take away the panic.

They are not weddings but bride and bridegroom sale. I find them quite repulsive with all the show, hypocrisy, artificiality and attempt to impress others with dress, jewellery and all the rest, not to speak of the flow of alcohol …
