Lakshminarayana reclined on Adisesha, the serpent. This Sathyanarayana was also rocked under the bed by a serpent when he was a just-born baby. Sathyanarayana looks like any other ordinary human being, but He possesses extraordinary and superhuman powers. They are indescribable. He looks very innocent. Yet, Sathya is the most important quality He looks for in the people. Wherever He goes, He teaches only Truth; for, from Truth emerges righteousness . Sathyannasti paro dharma (There is no dharma greater than adherence to Truth). In fact, Sathyanarayana is the Embodiment of Truth and Righteousness ! It is for propagating these two human values that Lord Sathyanarayana incarnated in human form as Sathyanarayana Raju.
Sathyanarayana is a unique Avatar, though He appears to be an ordinary human being. People often commit the mistake of thinking Him to be an ordinary human, since He very closely interacts with them at the human level. Whatever He speaks, it is Truth, Truth and nothing but the Truth! - From Bhagawan's 2008 Vijayadasami Divine Discourse .
