5) Indravṛttena surāṇāmapyanya bandhāḥ |
[Shri. Chhanda asked how God can test the Angels in the upper worlds when they do not have the strongest bond for children. Shri Datta Swami answers that angels belong to a different race, which is far far higher than the human race. If the bond with children is absent, it does not mean that all other worldly bonds are absent. Ego, jealousy, attachment to race, greed for a powerful position, sexual...
[Ms. Jahnavi asked: Swami, I am blessed to be in Your service of propagation activities. Please guide me on how to serve You better and how to always be in Your service consistently forever?]
Swami replied:- Unlike all missions of God, this mission of God Datta is a very unique mission. It is because the spiritual knowledge preached by God Datta through Me is well-received only by some deserving devotees. But, those deserving devotees are scattered across the world and not localized to any particular city or country. If you do the propagation of these concepts in a localized area...
[Shri Kishore Ram asked:- Swami, suppose a devotee is suffering from ego-based jealousy and tends to criticize the co-devotees and spread negativity before other devotees confidentially, what is the solution for this?]
Swami replied:- It is extremely important to control ego-based jealousy. If a devotee doesn’t control this ego-based jealousy on co-devotees, he/she will soon show the same ego-based jealousy on the contemporary incarnation of God also. Although the devotee had done a good amount of service to God for years and pleased Him well, the devotee will lose all His grace and suffer with punishments...
[Shri Kishore Ram asked:- Swami, You told that God will select a devotee to do the spiritual propagation. But, You also say that everyone must do spiritual propagation. How to correlate both?]
Swami replied:- One must not get confused about the two types of spiritual propagation. The first type is propagation of spiritual knowledge at the personal level. Every devotee, who learns the true concepts of spiritual knowledge, must propagate to others so that everyone is uplifted. If anyone doesn’t propagate the learnt spiritual knowledge to others, then he/she will become a ghost called ‘Brahma Raakshasa’ as punishment...
(Aphorisms (Sūtrams) Composed By Shri Datta Swami As Answers To Questions Asked By His Devotees)
1) Anūhya taijasa bhautika bheda iti ।
[Shri Krishna Iyer asked about the difference between original God and different forms of God present in various religions. Shri Datta Swami answers that whatever may be the religion, the fundamental point is that the original God (Parabrahman) is unimaginable. There are two types of forms of God:- i) Energetic incarnations pertaining to upper worlds containing only inert energy and awareness and ii) Human incarnations pertaining to earth containing inert energy...
Shri Datta Swami asked to distribute the following circular among all devotees:
I like to write a book called BHAAGAVATA SUUTRAM consisting of suutraas and their answers given by Me. This book will be divided into several chapters (Adhyaayaas). Each Adhyaaya will be divided into some paadaas. I want the questions from our devotees. Even the old questions asked by them can be repeated along with some present new questions. Their names will be mentioned...
With the divine grace of Shri Datta Swami, the questions and answers in Bhagavata Suutram will be published on the website in the order in which the questions are received from the devotees and answered by Swamiji. To provide an opportunity for all devotees to participate, each devotee is requested to submit a maximum of 25 questions. In exceptional circumstances, up to 50 questions may be considered. At the end, while compiling as a book, the order will be changed. For systematic presentation, all the questions submitted by a devotee, along with the corresponding answers given by Shri Datta Swami...

1. Is it mandatory for Urdhvareta that he has to be a perfect celibate accompanied by Mahaa Bhaava?
[Smt. Chhanda asked:- Padanamaskaram O Lord Datta! In yesterday’s (21st June, 2026) satsanga, it was told that Shri RamaKrishna Pramahamsa was totally free of any sexual desire and is the best example of Urdhvareta. This is a fact indeed. In this regard, I had a small discussion with Nikhil sir. From that discussion, I got the following queries. They are given below. I would like to request You to kindly clarify them. Is it mandatory for Urdhvareta that he has to be a perfect celibate accompanied by Mahaa Bhaava?]
Swami replied:- Mahaa Bhaava means the concentration of feelings on God. Mahaa means God (Mahat Brahma iti proktam). Bhaava means feeling. The most important point here is that the attractive feeling on God must be natural...
[Smt. Chhanda asked:- Paadanamaskaram, my Lord. Your gift ‘Rajiiva Gita’ is really another wonderful gem to us. I just can’t express my feelings after going through each and every chapter of this Gita. They are perfectly logical and at the same time so close to heart. This is indeed blissful and proves that it is coming from none other than Lord Himself. In this regard, this insignificant soul wants to get more enlightened on some topics that You have told in Chapter 10 (Link here).]
1. Please elaborate on how Mahat (intelligence) is evolved after Mūla Prakṛti? Is it the second item in the sequence really?
Swami replied:- Mahat is intelligence or Buddhi. Mahat also means God. Being very close to God, the intelligence always does perfect analysis like God. Intelligence is always impartial like God. Hence, intelligence is also called by the name ‘Mahat’, which is used for God. One should not say that intelligence is the second item or some nth item in the sequence of creation because all items in this...
[Shri Abhiram asked (in the previous birth): Swami, in the Sri Dakshinamurthy Ashtakam, it is told that Sri Dakshinamurthy was silent when the disciples asked questions. Through the silence of the preacher, the doubts of all the disciples were cleared. How is this possible? Doubts are always cleared when the preacher speaks. Or, does it mean that God cleared their doubts through silence using His miraculous power?]
Swami replied:- Your question is a good question. God Dakshinamurthy was preaching this spiritual knowledge through His speech only. But, you may get a doubt that how it is told that the disciples...
Ms. Thrylokya asked:- Swami, You always advise us to associate with devotees to attain salvation because we are an average of 5 people we be with and when we be with good devotees, we also become good devotees. Now a days, I happen to go to the office more often and I am being associated with people, who are into non-veg., drinking and smoking, irrespective of gender. I tell them about sin and health issues...
[Shri. Hrushikesh asked:- Swami, You said that crossing Ajna Chakra means crossing the illusion of name and form of different incarnations of God by realizing the unimaginable God as the one single actor in all incarnations. But Swami, even the incarnation of God is name and form only. Why shouldn’t we cross the name and form of the incarnation?]
Swami replied:- Of course, even the incarnation of God is name and form only. But, every devotee must cross the name and form of their worldly bonds using this name and form of the incarnation...
[Prof. JSR Prasad asked:- In the present days, even the temples of justice, which are courts are sometimes becoming the places of injustice and sometimes, even corruption is heard. How to rectify this most serious defect in the judicial field?]
Swami replied:- When the advocates are arguing for false cases also, attracted by the money given in the name of fees, they can make justice as injustice and injustice as justice with the help of their powerful...
Smt. Anita R asked:- Swami, please explain Spiritual Science, Spiritual Economics and Spiritual Politics.
Swami replied:- 1) Spiritual Science:- Science is always built up from practical experiments and this is the inherent...

Arghya pādyādibhir bhaktyā, yasmāt sa Bhagavān svayam॥
[When you happen to go to see the Sadguru, you must do worship of Sadguru with full respect and devotion by giving Arghya (offering water with respect) and Pādya (water to wash the feet). All the sixteen modes of worship must be done to Sadguru. The reason is that He is the ultimate God in human form, descended to Earth to guide devotees in their worldly...

6) Tadarpitākhilācāraḥ, tad vismṛtyākulaṃ manaḥ।
Iti Nārada vāgyatra, Prabhor bhaktir itīryate॥
