For Scholars Posted on: 01/10/2017Shri Phani asked: Why shall not we take the cosmic energy as the original basis that creates, rules and destroys world as the ultimate God?
Swami replied: In fact, it is taken so by the science, which speaks that this inert cosmic energy is the fundamental cause and basis of creation of world, which can dissolve also in it. By this, the creation, ruling and destruction of world, told as the inherent associated characteristics (not revealing the unimaginable nature of God) of God apply to the basic root cause-material...
Shri K.Gopikrishna asked: 1) In the ancient era common man is to fallow Guru. In today's scenario due to change in life style most of the people are not fallowing Sadguru. What will be frequencies, challenges a common man will face? By, K.Gopikrishna
Swami replied: Everybody is seeing the death of every human being on this earth and a very short period of life before death. Nobody is taking away anything earned by him/her and no family member is accompanying the soul just like giving company on this earth when one moves from one place to another place. The life after death and the future fate of the soul are unknown. But, the miracles...
[We shall explain the knowledge spoken by God Datta as sixth chapter related to the second part, field of Nivrutti or Divine life...
Dr. Annapurna (Prof. in Central University, Hyderabad) asked: 1) In TV9 channel, I heard one producer of films called as Shri Rama Gopal Varma asking the following questions: i) It is told that God Shiva cuts the head of Vinayaka and latter on joins the head of elephant with the body. God Shiva could have joined the original head itself being omnipotent! ii) Rama cuts the nose of...
Swami replied: i) The story of Vinayaka is a drama played by God to give an important concept to humanity, which is that you should not worship a cinema actor as God seeing the beauty of his/her face. You must worship anybody for the qualities, deeds and knowledge, not based on face value...
[God Datta shall not be blamed for destruction of family bonds. If destruction is kept as goal, at least, the excess fascination to family bonds is eliminated, which is weakening the family bonds. By this, sins can be controlled, which are responsible for the miseries in the worldly life. By this, worldly miseries are eliminated. Not only this, the excess fascination to worldly bonds...
Shri B. Raghavender asked: How to come out from a thing in which my mind is deeply involved?
Swami replied: God is greater than any created item of world (Na tat samah - Veda). Hence, the attraction to God is higher than any worldly attraction. Therefore, divert your mind to the subject of God, which will swallow all the other attractions. You need not think of coming out of the attraction to God! The reason is that attraction to God will always give you the best fruits here in this life as well as there after the life. All these worldly attractions will end in misery since these are real illusions...
[Dharma (justice), Artha (wealth) and Kama (sexual life) are the three categories (trivarga), called as Purushartha dealing with Pravrutti or worldly life. In Artha and Kama also Dharma should be followed. Other than Artha and Kama, the practical aspects in which Dharma...
[The rituals are the occasions of propagating spiritual knowledge and devotion to God in the minds of people for which reason only many people assemble on such occasions. Today, the priests are not doing this actual work and they are only reciting blindly the Vedic hymns in Sanskrit. Neither readers nor audience know the meaning...
Dr. Nikhil asked: I understand that the essence of Spiritual knowledge is practical philosophy or Karma Yoga. Please bless me to become efficient in this practical line in the service of God.
Swami replied: Theory of spiritual knowledge is the most important fundamental step since it is the mother of practice. Fundamental care should be always on theory. If this spiritual knowledge is perfectly true without caring for pleasing the audience with the aim of getting petty materialistic benefits based on selfishness, the truth of the knowledge generates emotion or power in the mind that helps the soul to implement the knowledge...

The authority is in three ways, logical analysis is sufficient.
[The authority of these spiritual points is given by scripture, logical analysis and experience as found in the narrated ancient stories like the Ramayanam, the Bharatam, etc...
Shri Karthik asked: We hear the penance done for years together by an individual sitting in one place and closing the eyes. How do You correlate this with Your idea that penance means logical analysis of spiritual concepts?
Swami replied: The Veda says ‘analyze the concepts...that is penance’ (tat vijijnaasasva...taddhi tapah). The Gita also gives stress on any ritual to be done as propagation of knowledge that generates devotion and the last word of the Gita is also logical analysis (vimrushyaitat...). Unless you yourself analyze the concepts with sharp analysis, if necessary, taking the help of debates with other scholars, you will not have total satisfaction...
For Scholars Posted on: 02/09/2017Shri Anil asked:- Can you explain the mixed domain with more clarity?
Swami replied:- The mixed domain is a mixture of both imaginable and unimaginable powers and therefore unless you understand clearly the imaginable and unimaginable domains, you cannot achieve your aim. All these domains are created by God only. The imaginable domain is starting with the creation of the imaginable energy from unimaginable God. This process of generation of imaginable from unimaginable...

Dr. K. Sudershan Rao (Doctor in Global Hospitals, Hyderabad) asked: Your answer contains perfect logic. But, the problem is that we have heard this way of doing rituals since from our childhood from our elder forefathers. How to discard this suddenly?
Swami replied: My main point is that you shall examine with your own maximum capable analysis both logics of My answer and the sayings of our forefathers. After deciding, which is correct logic that alone can establish the truth, one may immediately realize and practice it. Others may realize and practice after sometime only. Once you hear something, you should analyze and then come to the decision...
For Scholars Posted on: 20/08/2017Shri Anil asked: “Swami! With reference to your answer to the question of Smt. Devi, kindly clarify the concept with more clarity about the unimaginable and imaginable domains coexisting in the case of these supernatural worlds of supernatural energetic beings”.
Swami replied: There are two clearly different domains, which are unimaginable creator and imaginable creation. Just for the convenience of explanation in terms of imaginable logic, I may use words like unimaginable nature or unimaginable power or unimaginable awareness or unimaginable process etc. You must always remember that all these terms having ‘unimaginable’...
For Scholars Posted on: 14/08/2017Shri Anil asked: 1) “You told that Charvaka (atheist) told that awareness is generated from food only and this point being true shall be accepted even if the speaker is an atheist. If this point is true, is it also told in the scripture?
Swami replied: This truth is clearly told in the scripture that (relative) awareness is generated from food (Annat purushah). Purusha means the awareness or soul, which lies in the body (puri shete). This awareness is called as the relative awareness treated as one of the items of creation (kshetra) by the Gita (Chatanaa dhrutih). This awareness is the specific work form of inert energy generated in a specific nervous system while functioning. This awareness should not be confused with the unimaginable awareness...
