God-preacher Shri Datta spoke: 1) Vacant space is said to be formless item by scholars. The other three elements:- air, fire and water are also formless taking the form of container. The fourth element, solid earth is said to have specific form with its own boundaries. 2) These five elements look infinite to the human mind. Am I a formless item like the prior four elements? Am I having a form like solid earth with specific boundaries? As unimaginable God, I am beyond these five elements and hence, beyond the concepts of form and formless. My medium or this body is made of items having form and no form. Since I am identifying with this medium, I am not only beyond form and formless but also form and formless...
[Shri Datta Swami did penance at the holy temple of Shri Datta situated in the cave of hill at Yatitapahsthala for three days without food, water and sleep. On the fourth day, Shri Datta appeared before Him and the divine conversation between both was composed by Shri Datta Swami in Sanskrit verses in the form of this book, having sixteen chapters equally distributed in four parts called as Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and Kaalabhairava Khandas. My grandfather (Ch. Balakrishna Murthy) and grandmother (Smt. Bhavani) printed this book with Telugu translation given by Shri Datta Swami...—K. Pavan Kumar]

[Unimaginable God is undetectable by our human brains. ‘Undetectable’ does not mean that it does not exist. The simultaneous position and momentum of electron are undetectable by the most sophisticated electron microscope. When this instrument is used, the focussed beam attacks the electron and its position is disturbed. Hence, this microscope is unable...

[Science discussed a lot about the boundary of space and beyond it. This boundary is unreachable for any human being and hence, is called as infinite. Unreachable need not be infinite. The finite space also can be unreachable since very very long finite space is also unreachable. Since space is creation of God, its boundary must be known to omniscient God...
Shri Kishore Ram asked: Padanamaskaram Swami, 1) When a devotee approaches God for help and if the sheet of deeds of that devotee does not allow the help, what is the result?
Swami replied: Since God is not bound by the constitution of deeds and fruits, God helps the devotee even if the help is not supported by the sheet of deeds, provided such help, in His view, will bring spiritual uplift to that devotee. The sheet of deeds allows the help even if the devotee does not approach God...
Shri Balaji asked: Namaste Swamiji,
1) Kindly clarify on the path of chanting or singing about divine names of God. Many preachers nowadays are saying this is the best path to attain God's grace. I have forwarded a related message I received on Whassap...
Swami replied:- Remembering the name of the Lord brings His personality to your memory immediately. Repeating the same name again and again doesn’t bring any inspiration and in fact it results in boring. If I repeat your name continuously in your ear, are you not bored and will you not get headache? Devotees repeat the name of God again and again in doing penance for boons. The continuous repetition of the same name brings headache to God...

[What is the root cause of this world? --- Before getting answer for this, we must know that space is the first of five elements (the five components) of this world. Without space, no other element can appear or exist. Hence, space is the fundamental item of this world. It is subtle energy. It is non-existent before its generation, existent after generation and non-existent after dissolution. No product is existent in the cause before its generation. Pot does not exist in its cause (lump of mud) before its generation. The capability of generating the product
Shri Anil asked: Padanamaskaram Swami, Kindly give Your answers to the following questions from internet: 1) An ISKCON devotee state that Krishna has an eternal spiritual body and when Krishna came here His body was not ordinary body but this special body only by quoting the below verse from Brahma Samhita and its translation given by somebody. By this he wants to state that Krishna do not come in ordinary human body. Kindly clarify...
Swami replied: The above verse does not say that the body of Krishna is eternal. The body of Krishna made by five elements perished here and Arjuna performed all the ending rituals of the dead body of Krishna. He says that He enters the human body...

In this world itself, unimaginable events called as miracles are seen by naked eyes and hence, there must be the source of these miracles, which is called as unimaginable God. Therefore, the unimaginable God has perception-authority, which is the basis for all authorities. Unimaginable means beyond imagination or logical analysis. Anything beyond space is unimaginable because any item beyond space ...
Shri Anil asked: 1) You say that revenge shall be left to God. On the other hand you say that badness shall be opposed. How can you correlate these two?
Swami replied: Both these concepts are not mutually contradicting and you have retained both these concepts as per the context. If you are walking in your path, you may find a quarrel between two parties and you are not related to any party in anyway. Generally, people overlook such quarrels and go on their own way. This is wrong because you must oppose bad and protect good as servant of God, which is the divine quality of God. You must stop there and enquire both the parties to find out justice without any partiality since no party is related...
35) Ahimsaa dharmavalabhih, pashutvam na pashurmatah,
Nivruttavapi karshet tvaam, shishyaakarnaya me priya!
My dear disciple! Listen Me. Non-violence is the roof of the justice. The animal nature shall be killed and not the animal! If you succeed in pravrutti, God will drag you in Nivrutti also.
[The greatest sin is violence (ahimsaa paramo dharmah), which means hurting or killing any good living being. People have misunderstood that animals are to be killed in sacrifice done for God. The Veda says that the animal to be killed is the rigid ignorance and stupidity of the animal-nature and not the actual animal...
Prathama Anuvaakah (First part): 1) Vishnu Datta is the real Brahmin. A Brahmin is not by birth, but, by real knowledge of God or Brahman (Brahma nayati iti Braahmanah). The real knowledge of God is that God is unimaginable and energetic incarnation in the upper world or human incarnation on this earth is the unimaginable God Himself due to perfect merge. Sage Atri was born as Vishnu Datta. Sage Atri could not salute Datta being His father. Hence, Atri was born as Vishnu Datta to salute to the holy feet of Datta. He is called as Vaidika, which does not mean a particular sect in the caste of Brahmins. Any soul, which takes the Veda as authority for recognizing God is Vaidika...
Prathama Anuvaakah (First part): 1) The cow surrendered to God Datta is the deity of justice, who is none other than the deity of death or Yamadharma Raaja. The cow is clean and white like the justice without any sin. Yama means control of senses and this is the important justice that prevents any sin. Sinless nature is also called as Anaghaa. The deity of justice is nothing but the nature of God Datta, which acts as judge. The deity Yama sits as judge and analyzes the deeds of souls to differentiate into sins...
Shri Durgaprasad asked: Padanamaskaram Swami, 1) You said that after Jesus crucifixion, Mohammed removed the concept of Human incarnation whole together at that time. But any Human incarnation can save Himself, as Krishna saved Himself from demons many times. Can you please explain. At your lotus feet, -Durgaprasad
Swami replied:- In such case, how do you explain the silence of Krishna, when He was shot dead by a hunter? When the hunter was repenting Krishna consoled him not to repent since it happened as per the divine program of God (Himself called as Vidhi). The reason behind this is that Krishna wanted to leave this materialized body...

My dear disciple! Listen Me. By knowing the fundamental differences between God and soul, the illusion created by simile and metaphor is removed. Moreover, comparison to God is not available.
[Spiritual knowledge is easily understood if similes related to daily worldly life are given. The simile (Upamaalankaara) is identified mainly by the word ‘like’ (like is called as upamaavaachaka as found in ‘moon like face’...
1) Uktam paramahamsena, shukopyaakaasha vartmagah,
Adyaapiti matam viddhi, shishyaakarnaya me priya!
My dear disciple! Listen Me. Shri Paramahamsa told that sage Shuka is still travelling in space. Understand the meaning of this.
[No soul can cross the space because the link between the generator-unimaginable God and generated imaginable space is unimaginable. Unless this link is crossed, you can’t touch unimaginable God. The space can’t exist in God before its generation. If it existed, it is not generated. Hence, God has no space or volume in Him...

Shri Kishore Ram asked: During a long discussion with Shri Karthik and Shri Hrishikesh, we noticed the following point:- 1) In the control of doing sins, You have told that either fear for punishments (bhaya) or love to God (bhakti) must be there. In my practical experience, I find bhakti is more powerful in such control. In bhakti also, taking human incarnation as God is giving more effective result. Please elaborate on this practical aspect useful for the spiritual effort.
Swami replied: Selecting bhakti over bhaya itself indicates that the soul having such experience is really a blessed soul since such spiritual aspirant is in the rare Nivrutti line. This point itself proves that one in millions only belongs to this line in which sinful attitudes are controlled...
