Shri Phani Kumar asked:- Please explain the entire background of the psychology of Lord Rama, which is diagonally opposite to the psychology of Lord Krishna.

Ms. Bhanu Samykya asked: Padanamaskaram Swami, I'm again falling into poisonous thought that God is partial. Every time I try to fight against this thought I'm unable to answer the question which is that why is God in Human Form limited to only few close devotees only?

[Prof. J.S.R. Prasad asked:- Sāṣṭāṅga namaskāram Swami. It is said that if one worships God Datta, such a soul will be separated from its worldly bonds (Dattaṃ chinnam).
