Once in the 1950s..the Raja of Venkatagiri asked Swami.." Swami, what is the difference between you and other saints such as Ramana Maharishi, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu?"...Swami replied in Telugu " By their own effort they have risen to the level of Godhead, but with the infinite powers I possess, I have come from the level of Godhead to redeem mankind.."
