Why Do the Saints of Other Religions Not Propagate God Datta?

O Learned and Devoted Servants of God,

[This question is part of a Mahā Satsaṅga (grand spiritual discussion) between Swami, Shri Parikshit, Smt. Bindiya and Dr. J. S. R. Prasad.]

Swami replied:- The unimaginable God wished to express Himself to all the devotees in the world to be created. He created an energetic form with which He merged perfectly and such first energetic incarnation is the unimaginable God given to the world, called Eshvara. Datta means simply “given”, who is none but the unimaginable God given or expressed to the world through this created first energetic form. The same Eshvara or first energetic incarnation given to the world is called Datta since Datta means “given”. The same Eshvara or Datta is called Jehovah by Christians and called Allah by Muslims. Only the names and forms differ because God Datta appears in different forms with different names when is viewed in different angles by devotees of different religions due to His unimaginable power. God Datta also appears in different forms with different names to different devotees pertaining to different sub-religions within the same single Hindu religion! He appears as God Brahma to sages pertaining to Hairanyagarbhamatam, as God Narayana to a sect of devotees pertaining to Vaishnavamatam, as God Sadashiva to devotees pertaining to Shaiva religion, as Goddess Parashakti or Durga to devotees pertaining to Shaakteyamatam etc. The concept is well understood within the Hindu religion itself and we have no difficulty when this concept is applied to other worldly religions. Hinduism represents the universal religion of the entire world.
