Lord of Pravritti and Nivritti.pdf

God is the Lord for both Pravritti [path of justice] and Nivritti [path of pleasing Lord]. You have to please the Lord even in Pravritti. If the Lord is not pleased in Pravritti you cannot please Him in Nivritti. The fundamental requirement to please the Lord in Pravritti is to have satisfaction at every step. Contentment with whatever you have will always please the Lord. You must be happy with whatever is already given to you by the Lord and you must always thank Him for the past.

Paths of Justice and pleasing God.pdf

There is no village or town in India in which there is no temple of Lord Rama. The statue of Rama preaches two points to you:1)The Lord will come in human form2)Miracles are not the signs of the Lord.As told in the Gita, the Lord comes only in human form (Maanusheem Tanu Maasritam). Even though Lord Rama did not perform any miracles, Hanuman and the sages identified Rama as the Lord.

Understanding inner meanings.pdf

Goddess Durga is the single deity, who includes the three deities, i.e., Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati. These three deities are the powers of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Datta is the single deity present in these three Gods. Therefore Durga is the power of Datta. Datta is called Guru. The power of Guru is knowledge. Datta is the only God who creates, maintains and destroys this universe.

Developing devotion.pdf

Making God as the final goal, the devotion to Lord should be done in the theoretical phase as well as the practical phase. Only such devotion is real, and the real devotees are Hanuman and the Gopikas, who should be our guides in the spiritual effort. But very few human beings can attain this level and God says in the Gita that one in millions alone can attain such a state. In this real spiritual path, all items except God are only the means, whereas pleasing God is the final goal.

Human life is to serve GOD.pdf

The ultimate goal of life is not anything related to yourself, because it is aimed at pleasing the creator since the original aim of this creation is only the pleasure of the Lord through entertainment. Therefore, the original aim of yourself is only to serve the Lord and please Him. Then, the Lord will bless you with His eternal divine grace and your life is fulfilled.

Astrology and cycle of deeds.pdf

Jyotisham (astrology) is the subject, which relates to Jyoti or planet. The actual meaning of Jyoti is only God. According to the Veda (Param Jyotirupasampadyate) and the Brahma Sutras (refer Sutra Jyotiradhikaranam). Jyoti means light. The planet is like the jailor guiding you to the jail where you will suffer the misery or is like a guide who guides you to a bar, like heaven, where you will drink and sleep.

Learn to enjoy misery with effort.pdf

God created this world with happiness and misery, which are alternate cyclically like the spokes in a rotating wheel. God arranged the fruits of good and bad deeds in an alternating manner even though the good or bad deeds may be done repeatedly in sequence. This reshuffled arrangement of happiness and misery resembles sweet and hot dishes in a meal or a movie containing scenes of both happiness and tragedy in an alternating manner.

Exceptional talents.pdf

You can see the same love of God on a devoted soul staying in His abode as an angel and also on a he-buffalo enjoying with the she-buffalo in a mud pond. Both are continuously happy in their own fields! At last God provided whatever the child desired. Ofcourse He tried to convert the soul in the he-buffalo into an angel. When He failed in all His efforts, He has sanctioned the firm desire of the soul. Therefore, God helped all the souls, whether those [souls] loved Him or not.

Compassion in punishment.pdf

God acts as the Father as well as the Teacher (Guru) of any soul. Since God created the soul, He is the Father. But at the same time, He is the teacher who trains every soul to come up in the spiritual path. Generally in the world, the father is different from the teacher. But here, in the case of any soul the real Father and the real Teacher is only one, and that is God. Therefore, God is always kind as the Father and strict and harsh as the Teacher.

Some misunderstandings of Karma chakra.pdf

God created all the souls and has the attitude of a father towards His children. A human father may sometimes show partiality in loving his children. But God always has infinite love for all souls in an equal manner. Even the punishments in the hell are meant for the transformation of the souls from the lower level to the higher level. God always tries to help the soul even if a trace of possibility exists according to its cycle of deeds to justify God’s help.

Commandments of GOD.pdf

You have to live in this world according to the instructions of the Lord. Regarding your life in this world, the essence of His instructions is: Be deceived by others but not deceive others. Be harmed by others but not harm anyone. Be insulted by others but not insult others. Be abused by others but not abuse others.

Creation is for entertainment of GOD.pdf

Some people criticize that God is enjoying creation and entertaining Himself, while souls are troubled with problems. So they blame God with sadism. The entertainment of God is not sadism at all. Sadism is based on two points: One is that an action can be called sadism if it is exhibited in reality in the world and not in the imaginary world. For God, this world is imaginary and not real.

O Advaitin! Differentiate Peace and Bliss.pdf

The Advaitin says that by attaining the self [soul], which is just pure awareness, one attains infinite bliss. This is absurd since it contradicts practical experience. In every living being the soul (pure awareness) exists but every soul is not blissful. If you say that the impurity in the soul hinders the bliss, one can easily achieve the pure awareness atleast temporarily during meditation with a little practice. In such meditation, peace is experienced but not bliss. Peace is not bliss.

which knowledge needs propagation.pdf

If you can say, “Here is a new method to get rid of the headache without a tablet,” you can be a Satguru and your discovery needs propagation. Such real preachers are Shankara, Ramanuja, Madhva, Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Mahavir, Vivekananda, Saibaba etc.The second type of Guru is useless Guru who preaches, “Headache disappears if you take the medicine”. Everyone knows this. He preaches whatever is already present in books. He is only a teacher but not a preacher.

Aim of Human life.pdf

In the materialistic plane, a person says that the aim of his life is to achieve a particular post [career objective] and then help his family members. Another person says that the aim of his life is to serve mankind. We appreciate the second aim as higher than the first one. The highest aim of human life can be known only in the spiritual plane. The sole aim of this creation is pleasing God through entertainment.

Anamalies starting from Spirituality to Worldly Affairs.pdf

When the government forgets its duty to propagate the spiritual knowledge and devotion, the responsibility falls finally on the underlying ultimate government, of which the Lord is the head. Therefore the Lord comes down in human form to propagate this spiritual knowledge and devotion. The Lord also collects some tax from you for His mission. He has already given some facilities to you, like human birth, longevity, health, wealth etc.

Krishna the teacher of Nivritti.pdf

Whenever we remember Lord Krishna, three defects appear, which attack our faith on Him. Defects of others are clearly seen by the minds of human beings. The three defects of Lord Krishna in the eyes of people are:Stealing butter, Doing mischief along with the boys and Dancing with the maidens in the Vrindavanam.

Beyond evolution and reality-1.pdf

The Vedas (scriptures) classify the pramaanas for spiritual knowledge, into four categories.1)Shruti: the original scriptures2)Smriti: the commentaries of scholars on the original scripture. These may be regarded as secondary scriptures.3)Yukti: the rational or logical analysis based on inference, comparison, deduction, comparison, and negation.4)Anubhava: the experience based on the perception of the items in this world, which may be direct or indirect.

Beyond evolution and reality-2.pdf

The main aspect in Darwin’s theory of evolution is that any organ is developed to meet a need. Any organ is suppressed when the need disappears. Even in the spiritual field the same basic concept is maintained. When some people found out that happiness could be obtained through the effects of their own materialistic efforts, the need for God disappears and therefore, the concept of devotion is suppressed. Such people have become atheists.

Removal of contradictions for peace.pdf

Christian devotee:You always mention your name as ‘Datta Swami’ to everyone including beginners in your lectures.In lectures that you have sent out to all,you claim to be Datta.Swami:I never said that I am the human incarnation of God.Only when devotees stress on this concept even after My serious opposition I agree to it because if you analyze the word human incarnation, it does not mean that I am God.It means that God is present in this human body as a guest visiting your house for his work.

Unification of Hindu sub-philosophies.pdf

The mother grows this body, which is perished by this birth. But a teacher (Guru) grows the soul by knowledge, which is permanent in all births, and the knowledge accompanies the soul forever. ‘Sadguru’ is the God of the mother who came down as the teacher and the love of the Sadguru is beyond description. Shankara, Ramanuja, Madhva are the three incarnations of the three divine forms (viz. Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma) of the same Sadguru, who is Lord Dattatreya (Datta).

Existence of upper worlds.pdf

The atheist directly attacks the very foundation by asking ‘where is God or hell/heaven in this space?I am going even to the moon by a rocket.My counter question to him is ‘I agree that I am incapable of showing God or hell/heaven in this space, but can you also show Me the non-existence of God or hell or heaven in this entire space by taking Me to boundary limits of the infinite space?In this situation there are 50-50 probabilities of existence as well as non-existence of God or hell/heaven.

God, Miracles and Atheism.pdf

Miracles indicate the existence of unimaginability. The unimaginability is God and its existence indicates the existence of God. The unimaginable power is the source of the miracle. The source of that power is God. That power may or may not give the address of God in a person who exhibits the miracle. But the miracle gives proof of the existence of that power in that person. The power gives the indirect existence of God elsewhere.

Clarifications on Bible interpretations.pdf

Who should remain a celibate? Is there a concept of Holy Spirit in Hinduism? How can you suggest that people should worship You? Is there rebirth for the soul or not? How can animal births be treated as hell? How can you claim to be the reincarnation of Jesus? Don’t you think that You match the profile of Anti-Christ? Why do I need You for attaining heaven or salvation? Why do you try to fit God in the limited boundaries of human rationality? What is the correct version of the entire spiritual k

Ground rules for spiritual discussions.pdf

The fundamental difference between you and Me is that you accept only your religion and you do not accept any other religion. You also do not accept the unity of all religions, where as I accept your religion, any other religion and also the unity of all religions. You do not like Me since I do not belong to your religion and therefore you treat Me as your enemy. I like you since I belong to your religion too and therefore I treat you as My friend.
