Shri P V N M Sharma asked: The implementation of ethical values in practical life is not seen starting from a peon in the office up to highest ruler of the country. The moral values are failing in every walk of life of all categories of humanity. How to control this and bring a perfect set up?
Shri Swami Replied: At the outset, I am answering your question in a straight way before its further elaboration. The single sentence of answer here is that unless an inbuilt resistance to sin in each individual is developed based on fear for sin due to the unavoidable punishment from God, no practical solution is possible and you have to brood over like this forever...
Shri Ranga Swamy, totally illiterate, is an exceptional devotee of Shri Swami. He participates in singing devotional songs along with Shri Swami. He is not aware of the contents of any message given by Shri Swami. Whenever, he sees Shri Swami, he keeps Rs.3,000/- as offering at the feet of Shri Swami. Shri Swami warned him several times not to offer like that because for a lower middle class man like him, it is not a small offering. He offers this amount every day to Shri Swami. Nobody knows how he earns...
Padanamaskarams Swamiji, I would like to submit two questions to You. At Your Divine Feet.-Nikhil
1) Why does God warn Adam and Eve to not eat the fruits of the tree of knowledge of good and evil?
Shri Swami Replied: If you bring the contents of one of My previous messages, I told that God created human beings in the beginning of the first phase of creation (Kruta Yuga), in which all the human beings were just following the instructions of God like the robots following the programme fed in to the machine heads. In such stage, there is no freedom of soul. All the instructions from God...
Shri Anil Asked: 1. Some people practice remedies suggested by some astrologers, which are highly illogical like, pouring milk in flowing river, throwing silver coins in running water etc. Whether such remedies are scripture based? Kindly enlighten us.
Shri Swami Replied: All these practices are based on the foolish and ridiculous psychologies of some cracks only and are not at all based on the divine scripture, which is the word of God. For such reason only, we have to adopt the scientific analysis based on deep logic everywhere to reject the dirt from the mixed golden powder. God has created food...
For Scholars Posted on: 26/01/2016[Answer to Shri Anil’s Question No.6 (in Message on January 10, 2016) Continues Part-3]
Shri Swami replied: When we do the scientific analysis of infinite space, Myself and the scientist should have open mind. Open mind means that both of us should not have prefixed conclusions of the concept. The analysis means the research done by both of us together with mutual co-operation like friends to find out the truth without any prejudice and bias and with firm belief that the final truth investigated by both of us will benefit both at the end. I am sure that the scientist...
For Scholars Posted on: 26/01/2016[Answer to Shri Anil’s Question No.6 (in Message on January 10, 2016) Continues Part-4]
Scientist: 1) The cosmos has certain parameters of its definition like boundaries, composite of finite particles etc. What are the characteristics that you can attribute to your unimaginable domain? Even for an infinite item, we can say that it should be homogeneous without internal gaps having no boundaries around which space can exist....
Shri Swami: 1) Our single characteristic of God is only that God is unimaginable and exists. We are not bothered about finite or infinite concepts, which require spatial dimensions. We are involved in this discussion to prove that the cosmos or space is finite in the absolute sense...
Shri Hemantha kumar, Advocate, asked: I am very much interested in the correlation of three philosophies of Shankara, Ramanuja and Madhva (Trimata Samanvaya). Can you give it to me?
Shri Swami Replied: Shankara told monism (Advaita) between God and soul preaching that both are one and the same. Madhva told Dualism (Dvaita) between God and soul preaching that both are totally different since God is the master and the soul is His servant. Ramanuja told an intermediate state of special monism (Vishishta Advaita) existing between monism and dualism stating that God and soul are inseparable...

Dr. Nikhil’s Questions on Procreation: 1. How many children should a couple ideally produce? There is a quantitative aspect (how many children to produce) and a qualitative aspect (what type of children to produce).
Shri Swami Replied: I know Dr. Nikhil very well from the past millions of births. He is selected by God for the propagation of this exceptional programme along with other friendly devotees as a group. He is highly elevated soul and one should not misunderstand him for some of these peculiar questions. He represents various sets of humanity presenting their specific-personal problems...
[2nd Message] Padmanamaskaram Swami.Request You to please clarify my below queries; 1. In some discourses you have mentioned the merits of Avadhuta and they are blessed by God. But in many you were against them for their limitivity of their inert energy in awaken state as their final goal and will be born as inert objects (stones, trees etc). Please elaborate what message should we take on Avadhuta and what to avoid?
Shri Swami Replied: Avadhuta means the person, who attained total detachment from all the bonds with the world and this is the meaning of the word Avadhuta. Avadhutas are of two types: 1) the detachment from the world is attained due to the extreme attachment to God. 2) The detachment is only attained and there is no attachment to God...
Swami replied: Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva represent the three qualities separately, which are Rajas, Sattvam and Tamas. Each quality predominates and...

Swami replied: In all the cases, the soul-component of one form is worshipping the unimaginable God existing in other form. This is only for the...
Swami replied: The human incarnation after leaving a specific body leaves behind a set of Its followers as devotees. Some of them cannot shift so...
[January 23, 2016 Part 2] Smt. Devi (wife of Dr.Nikhil) asked: 1) What is the secret of the human incarnation’s enjoyment of continuous pain and sorrow in His life? How can one see, understand and maintain the enjoyment given by God as permanent feature?
Shri Swami replied: Since the human incarnation coming to earth is continuously enjoying the sorrow in Its life, you have put this question with lot of sorrow and pain in your heart. God appreciates you for your concern towards Him even though it is based on ignorance. After all, diamond is diamond even if...

For Scholars Posted on: 22/01/2016[Part-2] Shri Anil asked: In the context of your answer to my previous question No. 6 (in Message on January 10, 2016), why should not we treat the energy itself as the infinite?
Shri Swami Replied: In such case, there is no God and this energy itself stands as infinite without its cause. This energy itself stands as the ultimate cause. The energy creates other forms like matter and awareness, in association of which, this whole cosmos is created with different items. Energy maintains and dissolves the cosmos finally and this is acceptable. The energy becomes the ultimate...
