Shri Durgaprasad asked: Paadanamaskaaram Swamiji, Why did You say about the 50-50 probability for the existence of hell when Garuda puraana describes about hell in detail? The 50-50 probability only undermines the greatness of the Lord and at any time, You can show hell to anyone...
For Scholars Posted on: 24/04/2022Satsanga with Swami on 22-04-2022 attended by Shri Phani, Smt. Bhagya and Srivatsa Datta. Following are the remarks of Swami during the Satsanga.
1. The Veda says that the Lord appeared in different forms with the help of His various types of the unimaginable power called Maayaa (Indro māyābhiḥ pururūpa īyate). Here, in all types of the unimaginable power, the unimaginable nature is common and all types are different forms of the same unimaginable power. For example, ‘Aṇimā’ is to become very small and ‘Garimā’ is to become very big. Both are essentially unimaginable power...

Padanamaskarams to Swami. I would like to share two of my Miraculous Experiences given by Swamiji. Both of these are about Swami giving me a Job miraculously as well as teaching me some important lessons through those experiences. Swami gave me other miraculous experiences also before the one’s which I am going to explain now. In fact, as I learned His knowledge from Dr. Nikhil sir, one of my biggest questions due to which I went into deep depression was answered. I went through a number of sleepless ...

Datta is the energetic Avatāra or incarnation of the unimaginable God or Parabrahman. The latter incarnations are incarnations of Datta, which may be either energetic for the sake of energetic beings in the upper worlds or human for the sake of human beings on the earth. God Datta enters and merges with selected energetic beings or human beings to become energetic or human incarnations...

[Smt. Amudha asked: Padhanamaskaram Swami, There are so many manipulated or altered knowledge available out here and there. The real and true meaning can be found on Your website and YouTube channel. When watching or listening to other philosophies or content, I am able to relate to it, although only a less percentage of truth can be seen. Please clarify the below doubts Swami...

Smt. Priyanka asked: Padanamaskaram Swami, Swami, You mentioned that God has many kalas but when He comes as Paripurna Avataara like Lord Krishna, God exhibits only 16 kalas. That is to be considered as all kalas by human souls because human beings cannot bear to experience more than 16 kalas. Is that correct? Also, can You please reveal all the 16 kalas with their English...
Shri Anil asked: Padanamaskaram Swami; kindly answer the following question. At Your Divine Lotus Feet-anil
Gauḍapāda mentions about this endless chain of causes and finds fault with the inability of finding the ultimate cause of creation and due to this, he proposed the theory of unborn creation or Ajātivāda (Jātāt ca jāyamānasya, na vyavasthā pradṛśyate, Ajātaṃ jāyate kiñcit, Ajātiḥ prakṛtistataḥ). He means that this creation is not created at all, which means that this creation is a total unreality...
Shri Anil asked: Two religions namely Parsi and Jewish religion do not convert any person from other religions, because the people coming from ancestral linage only can become by birth a member of their religion. No outsiders are allowed. Is this aspect make them superior religions as this avoids...
Rāma always doing human efforts without miracles stands for Pravṛtti or worldly life. Kṛṣṇa always doing miracles stands for Nivṛtti or spiritual life. First Rāma came and then only Kṛṣṇa came. This means that first you must concentrate on Pravṛtti to settle in worldly life and then build up for Nivṛtti. Rāma or Pravṛtti is the unseen foundation hidden in the earth on which the mighty multistoried mansion representing Kṛṣṇa is erected. If you jump straight...

[The unimaginable God created this world from nothing and without the help of any second thing. Immediately, we think that the unimaginable God must have created this world with His unimaginable power. Since the power is also unimaginable, we cannot distinguish the boundaries of the possessor of power or unimaginable God and the unimaginable power, and we have to forcibly agree that the only one unimaginable God...
Ms. Thrylokya asked: Is it a sin if we hurt one's own self? Or does it become a sin only if we hurt others?
Swami replied:- If one hurts himself/herself, it is a sin in one context and merit in another context. If the self confidence is in a low level, one should not hurt the self. If a sin is done, hurting one’s self shall be done...
Ms. Thrylokya asked: Swami, You said that all people are under the administration of God. Am I interfering in God's administration by helping poor people?
Swami replied: God made a sinner, who looted others wealth by corruption to be born as a poor fellow in this world so that he/she understands the pain of the looser of wealth due to corruption. The punishment has been implemented on that soul and it is going on. Suppose you have sympathized with and helped such a poor person. First you must notice that the poor person received...
Ms. Thrylokya asked: Every incarnation of God shows some merits and defects. How do these merits and defects affect the devotion of a devoted soul? How does the soul's ego affect its devotion to God? At Your Divine Lotus Feet, Thrylokya
Swami replied: God is beyond both merits and defects whereas the soul is under the control of both and hence, the soul shall always try to come out of the grip of defects. The entire creation is just the will of God...

Shri Ganesh V asked: Padanamskaram Swamiji, Why do I get tense when I do God's work? My thought process is always as follows. First, I waste my time watching political and useless entertainment. Second, I realise that I have wasted so much time and hence get tense. Third, I look at fellow devotees and get tense because I realise that they have done so much work and I have done...
Shri Ganesh V asked: Padanamskaram Swamiji, As far as I understand from reading Your knowledge, I have understood that the reason for the Vedas being the top most authority for spiritual knowledge is due to the fact that it was preserved through oral recitation and superimposed with a Vedic meter so as to prevent any corruption in scriptures. My misunderstanding was that the way a particular sutra...
Smt. Priyanka asked: Padanamaskaram Swami, We often hear the phrase, "When the soul reaches realization...". Can You please explain what exactly 'realization' means? Is it based on various contexts having different meanings or is there only one meaning in all contexts? At Your divine lotus feet, Priyanka.
Swami Replied:- Realization means knowing the actual truth after rejecting false points appearing as actual truths. Realization can be attained only through very sharp logical analysis done through debates and discussions...
Ms. Laxmi Thrylokya asked:- Swami, You replied for my previous question that I should save money as much as possible and not shave it unnecessarily. I should take public transport instead of booking a cab which amounts to double the price. But, You also said that no soul can escape the law of Karma. I believe that I will anyhow suffer during the time when my bad karma returns back to me. I have no choice but to compromise...
