Śrī Rādhā Devī Uvāca:-
[Shri Radha Devi spoke:-]
Jīvaṃ Kṛṣṇaṃ manyate sā, Kṛṣṇaṃ jīvaṃ tathā janaḥ।
Rajju sarpa bhramo dṛṣṭaḥ, dvidhā dvāvapi naśyataḥ॥
[During the rāsa-dance, the Gopika is thinking an ordinary human soul (created by God Krishna having His own form) as God. An ordinary ignorant soul is thinking that Krishna is an ordinary human soul. In this way, illusion exists in both places. At one place, the rope is mistaken as snake and at another...

[Shri Avinash Kakumanu asked: Namaskaram Swami, This is asked in reference to points 24 and 26 in Part 1, Chapter 1 of Sri Dattaguru Bhagavad Gita. What exactly is meant by liberation from cycle of deeds or bond of deeds? For liberated souls, how does the deed “fruit and deed” thought cycle behave? Is it different from other souls? When You said, I will liberate only My servant, does...
hri G. Lakshman asked: Padanamaskarams Swami, Oh benevolent Lord, please clarify. When You mentioned that Lord Hanuman is going to be the future Brahma (Creator) the following doubts arose in my mind. Lord Hanuman is the incarnation of Lord Shiva who is Lord Datta and is already the Creator. Hanuman the soul can never become the Creator without the merge of Lord Datta. What is to be understood
Smt. Sudharani asked: Padanamaskaram Swami. Thank You Swami for caring and nurturing me every minute. Swami, sage Durvaasa could transform his anger into continuous love in his next birth as Radha. Is such an extremely opposite quality modification possible in the case of an ordinary soul...

(Many local devotees have attended this Satsanga given by His Holiness Shri Datta Swami)
Health is the real wealth. The essence of the ancient science of ‘Ayurveda’ is that a healthy person attains longevity in life and this longevity must be utilised in the service of God to please God and earn His grace so that the soul is protected here while alive as well as in the upper worlds after death. God’s grace is important not only to attain salvation in spiritual life (Nivrutti), but also to attain...

[By Shri Narasimha, Hyderabad]
First Darshan of Lord Datta (2001)
I first had the blessed opportunity to meet His Holiness Shri Datta Swami (Lord Datta) in the year 2001, at the house of my brother-in-law, Shri Lakshmikanth. I paid my obeisance to Swami.
On that day, I also had the rare fortune of eating brinjal curry served by Lord Datta Himself. That experience remained...

[Shri J.S.R. Prasad asked:- Sāṣṭāṅga namaskāraṃ Swami. Swami, one Sai devotee was telling me that Shri Satya Sai Baba was given poison through His food and then, Baba transferred His miraculous power to His mother to create sacred ash eating which Baba was cured. What is the internal meaning of this indirect miracle?]
Swami replied:- The background concept of this incident is that the miraculous powers possessed by the human incarnation of God cannot be used for Himself or for His family members. The reason is that the human incarnation...

100. Please enlighten me on the following argument.
[God Brahma played that negative role for one single time only, whereas Goddess Anaghā must play the role of a demo-piece in each and every incarnation from the beginning to the end of this creation. It is like she remains exploited forever whenever she comes in human form. Please enlighten me.]
Swami replied:- The role is always unreal whether it is God Brahma or Goddess Anaghā. Whether you drink one cup of coffee or hundred cups...

Udayāstamayād bhānoḥ, Udayaḥ punareva hi ||
The masculine ego cannot be destroyed as long as the soul exists in the masculine medium. As long as the male medium exists, the masculine ego will be leftover in it.

This means that even if the masculine ego of the soul is destroyed by its spiritual efforts, it will appear again in the same masculine...

99. Please explain the concept of sweet devotion exclusively from the perspective of God.
Ms. Thrylokya asked:- Paadanamaskaaram, Swami. Please explain the concept of sweet devotion exclusively from the perspective of God.
