Swami is all-pervading
[Shri Anjaneyulu, Smt. Sujata, D. Prasad, Smt. Sundari Prabhakar, Smt. Malati]
In Krishna Lanka, there were devotees named Smt. Sujata, Smt. Sumati and Smt. Sundari who had complete faith in Swami. Smt. Sujata's mother (a Krishna devotee) used to enjoy singing of the song "Samayāniki tagu māṭalāḍene" by Swami whenever she visited Swami. She had requested Swami to come to her house for the wedding. But Swami did not come. She sat there in great pain, thinking in her mind that Swami had not come. At that moment, the musicians, who were sitting and chatting worldly topic, suddenly got up, picked up their instruments and played the song (kīrtan) “Samayāniki…” very beautifully. She was satisfied that Swami was present there with that incident. However, Smt. Sujata felt sad that Swami did not come during the time of food. Immediately, a red-colored tilak appeared on her forehead. Swami always applies tilak in the same manner to His devotees. Her son Shri Mauli immediately asked, "O Mother! Has Swami come? Your forehead has a long vertical line of red tilak," indicating that Swami had come. Smt. Sujata looked in the mirror in disbelief. She was filled with joy. It was Swami who spoke through Mauli!
Once, Smt. Sumati clearly saw Swami in the idol of Shri Venkateshwara. She felt very happy.
Once, Smt. Sundari, having set out on a wedding invitation, going to Narasaraopet, bowed to Swami. He said, “Do you have to go? Can you avoid this journey on some excuse?” “Okay, go,” He said later after thinking for a while. After going there, Smt. Sundari slipped on the stairs and hurt her leg. However, she enjoyed the uninterrupted Datta Satsang with a Datta devotee there. Swami later said, “If you stop your journey, this fruit of action, combined with interest, will result in your leg being completely broken due to an accident in your next birth. And you will lose that satsang also and so that is why I suggested you to go.”
