'How To Keep The Devotees Together And Closer To Krishna?' by GBCSPT With HH Radhanath Swami

sometimes we find that devotees who are not properly cultured in what Vishnavism  truly is in these higher realms of consciousness, sometimes they become proud and sometimes they think they really do not require to hear anything from anyone because they already know. ‘I’ve already read the books, I know so many slokas, I’m such a good preacher, I’m giving so much good guidance to others, I’m content, I’m very good.’ But can you compile the four Vedas, the eighteen Puranas in perfect metric poetry, the Mahabharata, the Vedanta sutra, the itihasas, the Çrémad Bhagvatam and some of these literatures, not only did he compose them, but he wasn’t sitting there with a computer deleting things and going over what he has already done with editors and proof readers like even the best authors today, he wasn’t scratching out. He was just speaking and as he was speaking, without stopping Ganapati was writing and they made a pact that if you stop writing, I will stop speaking; if you stop speaking, I will stop writing.  So, I believe the whole Mahabharata was written in this way, no stopping, perfect Sanskrit grammar, poetry, everything is there included within that is the Bhagavad-gétä, representing the highest truths. Are you so competent to compile all the Vedic literatures? Yet Vyäsadeva was still feeling himself in need, depending on some higher power to full fill his purpose. He was still longing for direction for guidance. And actually even in the spiritual world, when you are in an absolutely perfect spiritual form, siddha deha, your Swarupa, Bhakta Swarupa, even at that time; you are never thinking that “I’m very good, I have done enough.” In Vrindavan we find everyone is thinking, what more can I do for Kåñëa? And everyone is under a higher authority, everyone is anxious to do more service, anxious to learn more and receptive to hear ‘How can I do more service for the pleasure of Radha and Kåñëa?’ Çrémati Radharani is the original supreme most spiritual master and from her Lalita Vishaka, the sakhis, Citra sakhi, Induleka sakhi, Campalata, Ranga devi, Sudevi, these sakhis, they all have their manjari associates: Rupa manjari, Vilas manjari, like that. And all of the most perfected begins in the forms of Braja gopis they are always anxious to do more service, always feeling themselves that they haven’t done enough and therefore they are always eager hear from their authorities, from their gurus and receive direction of how they can best serve and please Radha and Kåñëa? So, this is the eternal nature of the perfectly liberated soul. In the path of Bhakti, we are never content; we are always depending and aspiring for the blessings and the mercy of our seniors to guide us, to direct us and to bless us.  So how much greater is to understand us here, in this world in our conditioned state?

The Necessity of Hearing From Spiritual Master at Every Stage of our Spiritual Life

'Radhashtami - Glories of Srimati Radharani' by HH Radhanath Swami at ISKCON Juhu

Radhanath Swami is a Vaishnava sanyassi (a monk in a Krishna-bhakti lineage) and teacher of the devotional path of Bhakti-yoga. He is author of The Journey Home, a memoir of his search for spiritual truth. His teachings draw from the sacred texts of India such as The Bhagavad-gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, and Ramayana, and aim to reveal the practical application of the sacred traditions, while focusing on the shared essence which unites apparently disparate religious or spiritual paths.
Born Richard Slavin, on December 7, 1950, in his teens he came to confront a deep sense of alienation from suburban Chicago life and the civil injustices of mid-century America. At the age of nineteen, while on a summer trip to Europe, his internal struggles culminated in a commitment to search for God wherever it might lead him. Meditating on the Isle of Crete, he felt a supernatural calling and the next morning set off alone to find spiritual India. The Journey Home documents his odyssey as a penniless hitch-hiker though Greece, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and finally India. There he lived as a wandering ascetic, first amongst the forest dwelling Himalayan yogis and later amongst a wide variety of gurus and spiritual practitioners throughout India and Nepal. Ultimately, he was led to the holy town of Vrindavan, where he found his path amongst the Bhakti-yogis.
In Vrindavan he found the teacher he was searching for in A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (1896-1977) the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), and representative of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, (the Krishna-bhakti tradition stemming from the 16th century mystic avatar Sri Chaitanya). In choosing Bhaktivedanta Swami, as his guru, Radhanath Swami felt compelled to shear his matted locks and reenter Western society with a mission to share the sacred wisdom he had received. This return exemplifies the form of devotional yoga which is at the heart of Radhanath Swami’s teachings, a spiritual practice expressed as tangible action meant to bring about personal fulfillment and benefit the world.
At the the age of 31 he took the monastic vows of a Vaishnava sanyassin and became known as Radhanath Swami.
Today Radhanath Swami travels regularly throughout India, Europe and North America, sharing the teachings of Bhakti-yoga. He resides much of the year at the Radha Gopinath Ashram in Chowpatty, Mumbai. For the past twenty-five years he has guided the community’s development and has directed a number of acclaimed social action projects including Midday Meals, which daily serves more than 260,000 plates of sanctified vegetarian food to the children of the slums of Mumbai. He has also worked to establish missionary hospitals and eye camps, eco-friendly farms, schools and ashrams, an orphanage, and a number of emergency relief programs throughout India.
