Picture Form

Swami speaks through His form in the picture! His eye lids move, He smiles, He speaks in His picture form! I had been to the house of a gentleman in Bhopal who was a chain smoker. He had some throat trouble and his wife said it must be cancer and that he should stop smoking. 

She asked him. “When are you going to stop smoking?” 

They had planned to come here and so, he said, “In Puttaparthi, if Swami says, 'stop smoking'."

He heard Swami’s voice from the picture! “Why don’t you stop now?” The man was so shocked, he left smoking then itself. 

Swami says “Wherever my name is called, I am there, wherever my form is kept, I am there.” That is the uniqueness of the Avathar.
