That is My Swami
Dr. Nikhil
That’s my Swami! Incomparable Datta Sadguru.
Abode of matchless divine qualities; served by the gods.
What fame in all the fifteen worlds can ever elude You?
Yet You’ve hidden Yourself from all worldly fame.
That is my Swami! The incomparable Datta Sadguru...
Shri Karthik asked: I am adopting some special technique to attain peace by connecting myself (I) to pure awareness. Is it correct?
Shri Swami replied: It is certainly correct to attain mental peace by detaching yourself from the gross body and attaching yourself to the pure awareness. In this process, there is only self-effort. For scientists and atheists, this procedure is highly suitable because they do not believe in the existence of God, who is beyond this world. They believe only in the existence of this world and in the existence of themselves...

Shri Pavan asked: I heard some scholars saying that Buddha mentioned in the list of incarnations as per Bhagavatam is totally different from the present Gautama Buddha, whom we are referring as Buddha. Can you please clear this point?
Shri Swami replied: After the incarnation of Krishna, the Dwapara age ended and a few years only passed over since Kali age started. In this short span of time there is no necessity of establishing a separate Buddha apart from this Gautama Buddha. Of course, there are two reasons for such misunderstanding of our scholars: Gautama Buddha negated God as an atheist and...

I’ve seen, I’ve seen! O Earth, O Sky! Our Creator I’ve seen!
No, No! Not in a dream! In reality, our wonderful Artist I’ve seen!
I’ve seen, I’ve seen! O Wind, our Lord, with these eyes I’ve seen!
You, I’ve not seen, but the Maker of us both, with my eyes I’ve seen...

Shri Datta Swami Sadguru

Shri Datta Swami Sadguru
You chose Your birth in a devout family
Cursed to childlessness by two sorcerers.
Seven infants dead and the eighth to come

Padanamaskaram Swami, 1) A muslim devotee argues with following statements from Hadit and Quran that eating non-veg is allowed in Islam:[The Prophet (SAWS) said (Sayings and Teachings of Prophet Muhammad Nawawi's 40 Hadith 17): "Verily Allah has prescribed excellent in all things. So if you kill then kill well; and if you slaughter, then slaughter well....
Shri Swami replied: If you are emotional with very strong settled mind to eat non-vegetarian food by killing animals, you will always search for a supporting scripture only. For you only your favourable interpretation stands authentic. However, if you are searching for truth with open mind, you must go through My following comments without initial prejudice and bias.
Padanamaskaram Swami, Please give Your responses to the following questions - Anil
1) Genesis 11:1-9: The Tower of Babel - 1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As people moved eastward, [a] they found a plain in Shinar[b] and settled there.
Shri Swami replied: This indicates the universal religion and settlement indicates the eternal peace in the world. When two rivers meet, the joint line is uncertain creating confusion due to absence of clear certainty in the joining boundary. Similarly, when two religions are correlated, uncertain boundary of the joint brings disputes. Moving towards to East indicates the rise of sun, the sharp intellectual analysis in the spiritual knowledge that gradually becomes sharper and sharper like the sunlight...
Swami My Pillar
Arsha
When I don’t have courage, You alone make me stronger.
All the problems of everyone, You alone bear on Your shoulder.
When You are near, I have nothing to fear.
I love You so much because, You are my Dear.
If ever I am confused, You make my doubts crystal clear.
When I am in problem, You alone are there.
And when I am crying, You alone wipe my tear.
O Swami! My Dear Swami, my lovely Swami, my favorite God...
Questions from Shri Anil: 1) If Jesus was God, why did he say in John 20:17: "I'm ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God"?
Shri Swami Replied: A human incarnation is a two component system appearing in single phase. Sometimes God directly speaks and sometimes the human being component speaks directly. Both the speeches are expressed through the voice of the human being only. Hence, you cannot distinguish the speaker through His inherent and characteristic voice. You have to differentiate the two speakers by the context of the statement only. When Jesus said that He is truth and light...
Fragment of Glass
Dr. Nikhil
On a hot afternoon as I stood in the shade
A glimmer in the sand caught my gaze.
Through a piece of glass had shone the sun.
I felt thedusty fragment and I, were one...
Dr. Nikhil: When parents who are devoted to You, discuss spiritual knowledge with their children, and advise them, the children get bored and sometimes irritated. Could You please advise both the parents and children. Parents who are devoted to You, feel that Your divine knowledge is absolutely essential for all human beings, and especially their own children. As a result, they try to emphasize the same to their children...
Shri Swami Replied: Your question is very important since children are the future generation and anything enters the brain of a child easily, especially when preached by their parents due to the strong confidence present in the hearts of children towards their parents. When a soul is born in this world after thoroughly washed in the hell, the child born here contains all mentalities (Samskaraas) in minute quantities...

Was far from You till now; why does my heart long to come closer to You?

Ms. Shyama Kamala Lochana (daughter of Shri. Ajay), a computer engineer asked: I am very happy to see your recent message given to my father regarding the propagation of spiritual knowledge. Please give any more information, if you feel to give.
Shri Swami Replied: You have studied computer engineering that is applied in science and technology for the materialistic welfare (Pravrutti) of the humanity. This is a wonderful field added to science. Actually, this is a boon from the Lord. The scripture says that the Veda, the Shastra (secondary scripture like logic) and Vijnana (Science) are from God only...
Swami - The Greatest Inspiration and Goal
Dr. Nikhil:
My salutations to my Swami, who traveled by train
and worked from five in the morn to ten thirty at night.
Who yet composed and sang the praises of God at night.
Only to start another day. What an example He has set!...
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...
