1) Nin Blog parigogoi923@gmail.com asked:- There is much suffering here in this world nowadays???? Lord Krishna said that he will return when there will be much inhumanity, cruelty n violence??? Where is the supreme deity now?
Swami replied:- God said in the Gita that He will be coming to the earth in every Yuga (Yuge Yuge… Gita). Yuga means a human generation. Yuga also means a year and also a very big span of generations. Both are extreme ends like flood and draught. The middle path is to take the span of a generation. When God comes in every human generation, partiality of God to certain generations only can be avoided...
25) O Gopi! Satyabhaamaa called Me,
As the greatest cheater in world. (Chorus)
Krishna means cheater, Rama means honest,
Like this, world comments, but, see the truth...
19) O uneducated full moon! – Gopabhaama!
You are the ancient most sacred Vedic sage. (Chorus)
You completed all branches of the education,
You have taken this uneducated cowherd birth...
13) What a comment! O Rama Rama!
You are My sole goal, Gopa Bhama! (Chorus)
(When a shock is received, generally, people say ‘O Rama Rama!’ Gopa Bhaama means cowherd lady. The comment passed by cowherd lady to Uddhava was that Krishna is very hard in His heart.)
10) Gopikaa meva taam,
Bhaavaye maamikaam. (Chorus)
Sphatikavannirmalaam, kamalavatkomalaam,
Manmanohaariniim, hrudaya sanchaariniim...
Shri Hrushikesh Asked: 1) Dear Swami, To one of your discourses on Veda and concept of Human incarnation shared on the Facebook group Sanathana Dharma.
[Saurabh Attri Paliwal argues that Human incarnation concept is against the veda. Please find his argument below.
Veda says god is unborn and formless. He had some some limitations like other human beings, he left his motherland to save his people from the wrath of jarasandh army...
Swami replied: The Veda says “Yamaivaisha vrunute tena labhyah, tashyaisha aatmaa vivrurnute tanuum svaam”. This means God comes mediated for the sake of devotees aspiring to see Him only and God appears through the appearing medium. Human incarnation is understood by those devotees only, who prayed God to appear before them for clarification of doubts and for their service to Him...
Shri Anil asked: Padanamaskaram Swami:
Shri Anil asked:- Kindly elaborate on the following divine knowledge.
["When one approaches Me, I immediately open his file and seriously plan about permanent solutions about his eternal future. I start negotiations with his lenders and enemies to bring a compromise so that he will be freed from all bonds forever." At Your feet, Anil]
Swami replied:- When you become strong devotee of God surrendering to His feet completely with full faith, God becomes serious to examine all your file so that He can find out some compromise between the rigid cycle of theory of deeds (which is based on His own divine constitution) and the possibility of your uplift. This is very critical occasion faced by God so that...
6) O fool! If you say cowherd lady is prostitute,
God Datta is always fond of prostitutes only! (Chorus)
Prostitute leaves justice for the sake of earning wealth,
Cowherd lady left justice for the sake of bond with God...
Dear Devotee! Proceed in your daily effort of penance,
With the burning mad love-climax on God Datta alone. (Chorus)
With endless love on her Krishna always, left even daily duties,
Such Radha alone in devotion-path got the unreachable Goloka...
96) Practical Philosophy:- The sacrifice (yajna) is a seminar of spiritual knowledge followed by singing devotional prayers on God and the whole seminar is supported by arrangement of food in the interval, which involves preparation of food (karmasamnyaasa) and donating food materials (karmaphalatyaaga), both put together, called as practical philosophy (karmayoga). Even the fire used...
90) Self-Confidence:- Self-confidence has certain limits since the power of self also is limited. Any human being can lift a stone having a certain range of weight. A human being having lowest limit of self-confidence (under-confidence) can lift the stone having lowest limit of weight range. By improving self-confidence, the human being can lift the stone having highest limit of weight range. This is the maximum limit of self-confidence...
Deep Sleep of Human Incarnation:- Deep sleep of human incarnation exists as in the case of any ordinary human being. There is no difference between the human being and human being component of human incarnation. For a human being, in deep sleep, awareness doesn’t exist since awareness is absent, in which the soul is only inert energy called as Praajna (means pra=totally, Ajna=ignorant). In the dream state, the soul (awareness) exists...
Shri Hrushikesh asked:- Dear Swami, The opponent Mr. Raghavender Rao condemns that fact that Women and Shudras are not eligible for Upanayanam. Below is the dialogue between me and opponent. Kindly look in to the same and enlighten us with your holy words.
[Hrushikesh: I said Śūdras, women, and Dalits are definitely eligible for upaṇayanam?...
Swami Replied:-
A) ‘Upanayanam and Gaayatri’:- Your opponent has not given any argument on this except saying that this is not accepted by Vedanta-Sutras and commentators of Vedanta. Without logical analysis, we can’t accept any portion of any scripture since there is every possibility of insertion by some selfish people...
(Following song was sung by sages and angels standing in the sky)
4) O cowherd lady! Look up in the sky,
Sages and angels are praying you.
If you are not reaching Dwaaraka from Brundaavanam,
Life-night of Lord will face Sunrise, divine work stops...
Shri Balaji asked:- Kindly clarify on the Ashtapathi composition. Many people seem to enjoy the recitation and music, also with faith and devotion, but without necessarily knowing the meaning of the verses...
Swami replied:- Ashtapadis are written in Sanskrit and the knowledge of the song is in different angle, which is towards the real development of spiritual devotion. The angle of music of the same divine song is different, which is just for temporary happiness due to sweetness of music. If the knowledge of the song is received, it generates devotion and devotion leads to practice...
Shri Gangaiah Garu (Advocate in Guntur, a scholar of Gita and Upanishats) asked:- The souls are said to be sparks of God. Why shall God create this universe so that the soul has fallen from divine state to this state of difficulties and tensions?- Several people comment like this. What is the effective answer for this?
Swami replied:- The Veda says that we are sons of God (Amrutasya putraah). Ramanuja said that we are sparks from the God-fire, which means that we are the sons of God. All these statements are only to encourage us in spiritual effort to become sons of God. God did not call every human being as son of God and He called only Jesus as son of God. Everybody didn’t say that he is God Shiva except Shankara...
Past, Present and Future:- In worldly matters, you must not brood over past and must concentrate on present and future only. Of course, analysis of past is useful in learning practical lessons and for this purpose only, the department of History has practical value in educational institutions. Analysis of past is useful in examining your spiritual efforts also. In spiritual field, before God, you must always remember past and shall not touch your present and future. This means that you must remember always the past favours done by God to you and express gratefulness to God...
O cowherd lady! all your beauty became
subject of My entire song on My flute. (Chorus)
While the silver anklets sounded in your stylish walk,
The elephants migrated to forest for living there only...
Disciple of Datta (Datta Swami) spoke:- 1. O divine preacher! People in this world are always fond of happiness to be achieved from the relief of worldly miseries. In such case, how these people will approach You on hearing that You are giving further miseries to them in the form of severe tests? They will naturally approach You in other divine forms only with a view that they will be relieved from miseries if such divine forms are worshipped...
Songs of God Krishna On Cowherd Lady
[Once, Swami was explaining the devotion of Gopikas (cowherd ladies) to God Krishna quoting the Bhagavatam. Some devotees told Swami that the devotion of Gopikas is marvellous after Krishna leaving Brundavanam and settled in Dwaaraka. Swami told “we are seeing the devotion of Gopikas only, which is just a wave in the infinite ocean of the love of Krishna towards Gopikas. Since the love of Gopikas to Krishna is finite, it is expressed in the Bhagavatam. The love of Krishna towards Gopikas is infinite and hence, couldn’t be expressed by anybody. Nobody knows how much agony was undergone by God Krishna in Dwaaraka...
