MOKSHA MARG PRAKASHAK
They further make many statements which are also contrary to the law of nature. For example- they say that the heavenly gods of Sarvartha Siddhi raise questions through mind only and the omniscient Lord gives answers through mind only; but the object or question existing in the common Jivas' mind cannot be known without telepathy (Manah Paryaya Jnana), then how would the gods of Sarvartha Siddhi come to know the things situated in the mind of the omniscient?
