(Today is my Birthday and Swami answered my question stating that His answer is my Birthday gift. - Thrylokya)
Ms. Thrylokya asked: Swami, You told that Madhumati embraced Sage Dattatreya with sweet devotion towards her husband only. You may say that her fault is to embrace her husband while Dattatreya is doing the worship of God and hence, she was cursed by Dattatreya to become a demon. But, Madhumati knows that Dattatreya...
Ms. Thrylokya asked:- Swami! Can You say a Mantra to me by which my mind can be attracted towards Lord Venkateshwara and Lord Krishna? Due to their polygamy, my mind is not getting attracted to them.]

13. Did the Gopikas divert their uncontrollable lust towards God or transformed their true devotion into lust for God?
[Thank You for the wonderful answer given to Shri Phani Sir on his birthday. My question is whether the Gopikas divert their uncontrollable lust towards God or did they transform their true devotion for God into lust for God?]

9. Is my following hypothesis correct?
[Ms. Thrylokya asked:- Swami, the word 'Radha' is not mentioned in the entire Bhagavatam. After listening to Your answer about how Krishna created His unreal forms to satisfy Gopikas, I framed the following logical hypothesis:- Firstly, Radha is an imaginary character created by Krishna and described as His real female form. To satisfy all the Gopikas based on devotional justice, Krishna has to tell and prove...

4. Why did not the 12 Gopikas get the association of real form of Krishna?
[Ms. Thrylokya asked:- Swami, You told that unreal Krishnas were dancing with all the Gopikas during the test of Daareshanaa. But, 12 Gopikas passed all the three tests and attained Goloka as reward. Since they are not married-women anymore, why didn’t they get the association of real form of Krishna in Goloka?]
Swami replied:- The soul does not change after leaving the gross body on the earth. Whatever objection is there for soul and God in this world, the same objection will apply to the same soul and same God even...

Please don’t use the omnipotency...

Ms. Thrylokya asked:- Swami, I have forwarded Your reply to the learned person. He shared the below text “Every political leader before elections, tries to bring an emotional angle while canvassing for votes. The answer about real Krishna and Gopikas as Father and daughters based on the Gita verse appears like that coverup only. God definitely did not realize the fact of being their...
(Some of my friends, who are atheists, have asked these questions on sweet devotion and related topics. I have sent those questions to H.H. Shri Datta Swami, who has answered these questions. - Ms. Thrylokya)
1) Why does God Krishna appear like having fascination for females and wealth?
Ms. Thrylokya asked:- Swami, God is misunderstood due to the topic of sweet devotion or Madhura Bhakti. Greater devotees like Hanuman exist even without Madhura Bhakti and Hanuman is not lesser than Radha. Draupadi loved Krishna as sister and surpassed all the romantic bonds through her sacrifice in tearing...
