[Ms. Thrylokya asked:- Swami, in A.P., Satya Sai District, Hindupuram, opposite to Saraswati Vidya Mandir School, a poor family lives and from the feet of a very small statue of Shirdi Sai Baba in their house, water is continuously flowing and sacred ash is falling from the statue. Will You comment on this miracle?]
Swami replied:- The water is flowing continuously from two months. Devotees from a near by temple of Shirdi Sai came and examined this miracle by sitting there during the entire day time. They took the statue into their hands and wiped the statue strongly with a cloth and held the statue in the palm. The water flowed down along the hand. They again wiped the statue and placed on a towel. The towel was drenched...
[Smt. Chhanda asked: Can the merging with the climax devotee be considered as a miracle once it has taken place as He becomes God Himself from that moment?]
Swami replied:- Merging of the unimaginable God with the first energetic form (Datta) is unimaginable because the unimaginable God Himself is the God component here. But, when God Datta merges with an energetic being or a human being, it can be explained with a practical example...
[Shri Abhiram asked:- Is it the correct impression to think that an incarnation exhibits miracles continuously attracting people from all sides apart from preaching the spiritual knowledge?]
Swami replied:- The correct impression on the true incarnation is preaching true spiritual knowledge that leads the soul towards the goal of pleasing God with true love, performing miracles not for its name and fame...
1. Why people around me don't support but criticize even though they know that I am in the right path?
Smt. Lakshmi Lavanya K asked: Pada namaskaram Swami, You said 3 stages in human life are knowledge, devotion and practice (service). Then why everyone around us including parents, family members, relatives, friends don't support, criticize, scold, even try to drag us back. I want to satisfy them even though they know I am not in a wrong path, they also walk in spiritual path on their will but don't understand...
Smt. Chhanda Chandra asked: Padanamskaram Swami, following verse from Autobiography of a Yogi "The so-called miraculous powers of a great master are a natural accompaniment to his exact understanding of subtle laws that operate in the inner cosmos of consciousness" Does it mean that the miracles are also having logic which we, ordinary souls cannot understand but the Human incarnations...

[Generally, the atheists require the perception of divine miracles as a proof for the existence of the unimaginable God as source of miracles. Just like on seeing the smoke, the fire is inferred, similarly, the unimaginable God is inferred on seeing the unimaginable events called miracles. This is the best way of proving the existence of the unimaginable God to the entire world consisting of different mentalities...
Shri Bharath Krishna asked: Padanamskaram Swami, While listening to yesterday's satsang, I got this doubt. In Thrailokya Gita chapter-12, You said that in order to filter the fake human incarnations from Genuine Human Incarnations of God, the preliminary test is to see if He/She can do miracles. So, if a person comes to know from a devotee that so and so person is an Incarnation of God...
[Mrs. Lakshmi Chaitanya asked:- One of our teachers is an atheist, who gave me a video showing the creation of sacred ash by Shri Sathya Sai Baba from His hand. In that video, a tablet of ash was seen between the fingers of the hand. My father is a strong devotee of Baba and refused to see that video. Kindly give Your remarks on this.]
Swami Replied:- There are hundred types of miracles performed by Baba among which creation...
Ms. Laxmi Thrylokya asked:- I have seen video in YouTube in which the creation of holy ash by Shri Satya Sai Baba was shown and it was explained as magic because a tablet of ash was shown between His fingers, which is crushed by hand and given to devotee. Kindly explain the answer for this...
Ms. Laxmi Thrylokya asked: Swami, Lord Shiva represents Tamas which means ignorance and rigidity. In Datta Vedam, You said that Shiva stands for ignorance of the worldly knowledge and Vishnu stands for the Sattvam which is knowledge of God. In order to perform miracles, God (human incarnation) removes ignorance (Māyā) on Himself. How to justify Shiva (Satya Kāmaḥ) representing miracles...
[Ms. Laxmi Thrylokya asked: Swami, You said that any miracle happens only due to the unimaginable God. Is a miracle the address of the Unimaginable God or just a proof for the existence of the Unimaginable God?]
Swami replied:- Miracles indicate the existence of unimaginable God in a specific medium. But, miraculous powers can also be transferred by unimaginable God into a soul doing rigid penance in which case (of demons) unimaginable...
(A question by Dr. KV Rao)
Swāmi Replied:- Every concept has both obverse and reverse sides of a coin. All visions are not false and all visions are not true. Generally, people will not tell lies in the case of Divine visions. But, there are some people, who tell lies in order to get some fame by drawing special attention of public in the society on the point that they were blessed by God due to their special deservingness. Let Me take My own example. In Śrīśailam, I used to preach Spiritual knowledge to Śrī CBK Murthy and his wife Smt. Bhavānī everyday saying that God Datta appeared before Me and told this excellent knowledge...
[A question asked by Smt. Anita Renkuntla.]
Swāmi replied: Any human being can perform any miracle provided the omnipotent God wishes to exhibit that miracle through that person. All the credit of performing the miracle goes only to the omnipotent God. When God merges...
Ms. Laxmi Thrylokya asked: Pādanamaskāraṃ Swāmi, In Mahima Yamunā, we heard the miracle happened to śrī Veena Datta S/O Shri Ajay Garu, in which You blessed him with an excellent package in his campus placements. Veena Datta was able to crack all the interviews with Your grace. But, I know many atheistic friends who cracked better packages but they give credit only to their hard work and dedication. How can a miracle to one person...
Smt. Amudha asked: Dear Swāmi! Recently, I had a miraculous experience from You and mother of earth. I believe it, but I am looking for Your confirmation about it. I am sorry Swāmi...
Mr. Prince Andy asked: Hello sir! Please, my name is Prince Andy Nkwocha of God Holiness Cathedral of All Saints and I need Your spiritual power for healing, miracles and to run my church. These people want take my father’s property and want to kill me: Moses Eze, Cordeloa Eze, Samuel Eze, Chimaobi Nwafor...
Shri Durgaprasad asked: Pādanamaskāraṃ Swāmi! A person who believes in God Datta, but not in the contemporary Incarnations of God, said that in the past, God’s Incarnations were not recognized or were seriously doubted by Brahmā, Indra, Kaṃsa and his army, Kālīya, and Manmatha. But God did not deny their doubts. Instead, He removed their doubts by proving His divinity. This person said that if a claimed Incarnation like Sathya Sāī Bābā...
Swāmi replied: O Learned and Devoted Servants of God! I have seen with My own eyes, Śrī Satya Sai Bāba creating a big glass basket that was held in His two hands. The occasion was Kṛṣṇāṣṭamī and the basket contained various kinds of sweets. Bābā said that He had brought those sweets from Mathurā city. On another occasion, Bābā held a small pot upside down and moving...
Śrī Ganesh asked: Dr. Nikhil and I were discussing about the method taught by You to recognize a Human Incarnation of God. I said to Dr. Nikhil that the knowledge given by You (Swāmi) is excellent and perfect indeed. However, the major reason due to which I was able to conclude that this knowledge is coming from God was because You knew the question I had in my mind for a very long time and You answered...
Swāmi replied: Miracles are not confined to God alone, so it is not possible to recognise the Human Incarnation of God (Sadguru) in a straight way, simply by experiencing some miracles performed by Him. Even demons perform miracles. Of course, they have attained...
Shri Shashi Kopparthi asked: How to connect with and experience you Swami? In this age of Kali, choosing a guru is very difficult. As you said, many gurus like Satya Sai first did miracles to attract people and then imparted spiritual knowledge. I was looking for a living guru who can guide me. Can I get some miraculous experiences from a guru like you so that I can accept you as my guru? Shashi Kopparthi
Swami replied: I am just a human being like you without the slightest capability of doing any miracle. I happen to be the human being-component of the Human Incarnation of God Datta and that is only because He selected me for the purpose. His mission is the welfare...
