Swami answers the questions by Smt. Lakshmi Lavanya

1. I want to share a miracle that happened in our family.

[Smt. Lakshmi Lavanya K asked: Pada namaskaram swami. I want to share miracles that happened in our family. 9 years back my brother abandoned our family because of love marriage, then we motivated our parents to spend time by praying God, reading Bhagavatam, Bharatam etc, my mother expired 4 years back...[Click here to read the detailed question→]

Swami replied:- You are correct in your analysis. But, I request you to write brief questions.

2. Please bless me more and more so that I can understand Your infinite Divine qualities?

[Pada namaskaram Swami, in previous answers, You told "Japam means only repetition of the qualities of the divine personality, The devotion develops by the divine personality shining in several angles." [Click here to read the detailed question→]

Swami replied:- I bless you as per your request.

3. How can we do practical service to You?

[Pada namaskaram Swami, in previous answers You told "Practical devotion is the proof of theoretical devotion, I always recommend practical devotion only after hearing the entire spiritual knowledge". So many people want to participate in Your practical service as per their knowledge and devotion. So many of us not get a chance to do Your personal service because we don't have that much devotion to You, but we also want to participate in Your service (atleast to satisfy ourselves that we are also trying to please You), so I request You to please tell me. 1. How can we do practical service to You who are in a starting position?]

Swami replied:- You do the practical service in whatever way you have full interest.

4. How many ways are there for practical devotion? What are they?

Swami replied:- Practical devotion is a proof of theoretical devotion. Donating physical energy is service. Donating materialistic wealth is sacrifice. Of course, hard earned money is the best because the soul has strongest bond with it and if such strongest bond is defeated before the bond with God, then, the bond with God becomes the strongest. House holders must do both service and sacrifice. A saint can do only service but not sacrifice.

[What do You suggest for us who can't meet You, can't have a chance to talk to You directly, can't pose questions to You directly because of fear, but want to participate in Your service as per their capacity.]

Swami replied:- Your question contains the answer for your question. One can participate in the service of propagating the spiritual knowledge and devotion as per his/her capacity.

5. What do You advise those who are unable to contribute money to You?

[What do You advise them who can’t donate their own money as guru dakshina to You because of family members don't allow them, but want to participate in Your service.]

Swami replied:- They can participate in propagating spiritual knowledge and devotion in the world as per their convenience and capacity.

6. What advice do You have for people who don't understand Your knowledge?

[You said we can learn spiritual knowledge based on intelligence, if we have low level intelligence can't understand Your knowledge fast and get a spiritual growth. What do You suggest for them.]

Swami replied:- The knowledge explained by Me does not require any intelligence to understand because My explanation is very elaborate in a simple language.

[I want to come for Your darsan, I can come only to Kachiguda railway station (I have direct train from vinukonda to Kachiguda), please suggest me a way. Pada namaskaram Swami.]

Swami replied:- You can contact Ms. Thrylokya. She will guide you to Me.

7. How should I behave every second as per Your inner intention?

[Smt. Lakshmi Lavanya K asked: Pada namaskaram swami, if God gives me a chance to live with him as a family member, then advise me on how should I behave...[Click here to read the detailed question→]

Swami replied:- There is no possibility for you to become My family member because you are already My family member. This creation is My family and every soul is My family member.

8. What will be the punishment in the following cases?

[Pada namaskaram Swami, in Your discourse I have read Sita got different punishments for abusing Rama and Lakshmana although it is divine drama to kill Ravana. I request You to tell, if any normal person who is trying to learn knowledge from You...[Click here to read the detailed question→]

Swami replied:- A sin is prominent when one soul hurts the other soul. A soul hurting God has no punishment. Hirnyakashipu was punished by God not for abusing Him, but, for abusing a devoted soul like Prahlaada. God is like space and nobody can cut the space with any sword.

[For anyone trying to do japam of mantras given by You daily as per Your instructions and can't complete because of family pressures, then is trying itself okay to You, what do You suggest for them? Pada namaskaram Swami.]

Swami replied:- There is no question of completing because number is immaterial. Repeating it with interest and concentration in a natural way yields good fruits.

9. Please explain the meaning of my dream.

[Pada namaskaram Swami. When I started my spiritual journey, my parents didn't agree, but I couldn't value their opinions because of my inner motivation, I always kept silent before them whatever they talked because I think they also doing this because of love for me but they didn't know this is my real happiness, my mother also accepted Chandra Mouli Sasthri garu as her guru, took upadesam and worshipped Goddess Lalitha...[Click here to read the detailed question→]

Swami replied:- The dream means the competition between your bond with your mother and your bond with God. God takes care of His devotees as He is taking care while alive. After death is reflection of before death. Mistakes done to the other souls are not excusable. Mistakes done to God are not counted at all. Voting for God against the worldly bonds is the essence of the tests of God Datta.
