This sage is not an ordinary person. He indeed has experienced God from within and without. He spreads Krishna prema via his compassion for all living beings. As an non-Indian/non-Hindu, I first met him in India and knew right away he's special. For the past 10 years, he has showered his mercy on me. I am internally indebted to Maharaja. I guess the lesson learned is that we should not judge others by covers (Maharaja always reminds us of that).
I never heard such type of lectures on spirituality. I was to spellbound to hear, how a person can describe such emotions and fillings ! A person near to God. I pray to God for Ur long life .
Beautiful emotions come from us when we do service to Sri Krishna.
Thanks
Radhanath Swami has transformed the hearts of millions around the world with his wonderful lectures and kirtans
Goosebumps and tears all the way thru the Journey with Maharaj. Feeling so much blessed to have such Divine souls on mother earth.....
Thank you for spreading the message of God Krishna for pure selfless Love.

Shri.Radhanath Swami is truely blessed divine. His journey has been the teaching to touch our souls through purity of humanity. His experiences is certainly modern day rational search of divinity. It is inspiring me while i watch, that so much am hindu and think i know, so much am i to learn and keep learn. I bow with respect.
I liked this amazing point ! The most fundamental need of every living being ...is to love and to be loved!
It is not just lectures and kirtans make Maharaja great but his dealings with each and every living being.
Yes.
Whom has come After listening Alexander Jacob's words?
Time? (alexander Jacobs quote )
I was searching on youtube for a recitation of the Bhagavad Gita in Sanskrit. Of all the recitations I found, I was not impressed, because I found them to be only technically, but without any devotion. Then I found the recitation of Radhanath Swami and I am really impressed by it. Therefore I searched furhter on youtube, if there are other contributions from him and found now this one. He really teaches from his treasure of experience and deep insights and that helps a lot, to better understand the Bhagavad Gita, but also the the other teachings in the Mahabharata.
@@taramattiemanieram9317 so you are saying prabhupada had no capacity to create any pure disciple ?
Radhanath is so charismatic with his soft spoke saintly voice. So humble and spiritual, and holy, and realised, and wise, so precious and calming, and soothing and introspective, and contemplative and thoughtful. He is a heavenly angel. 🇮🇱
Always very pleasing to my heart when hearing from Radhanath swami ji.
tears roll down and goose bumps when u listen to him
Hari Bol ! Jai Shri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu !
For a guy who must have spent a large part of his life meditating, saying nothing, he's a helluva speaker!
zoot soot
Very, very, very nice!!! Kršna bless you! Hari bol!
Incredible experience and passing of various tests in the hands of divinity. My heart is very much touched and brought tears to my eyes. It reminds me of my experience of Feb 2013 Maha Kumbha at PRAYAG Love you swami Radhanath.
Wow ! The last part where he describes her mother, offering her ashes to the Ganges. It is the highest service a son can do for his mother. I was spell bound listening to that part.
His darshan, even via video, is so powerful. Jai Srila Radhanath Maharaj! Jai!
Amazing class! Nice realisations and very well explained
I love him...full of grace..

hare Krishna here we can see the power of spirituality.we hav a great culture what we never appreciated
Not only yours
Spirit concentrates on the essence of the message, while organized religion concentrates its focus on the messenger, the profits, and control over the lives of all its believers.
It's called "Spell-check". Look into it.
Amazing lecture!
Hinduism is not a religion but it's a culture
But the speaker is a follower of Sanatana Dharma, not Hinduism.
Bhushit Gadhiya. ...yaap.... Dharma is a Sanatan Dharma
Really heart touching..
....my language skills are not such impressive to comment on this video. am just blissed.HARE KRISHNA
really what amazing maharaj is carrying out his discussion in such a prestigius assemly
so much efforts has gone behind to spread this Lord chaitanys message ...
man filled with Krishna consciousness get eternal peace.
excellent. . no words. ..
thankyou KRISHNA for saving me
Yes We each need to find our way together to live till we die in peace. The USA has evthing needed to learn we don’t need any of it really and the excess is kicking us. Some lack the divinity still lost in materialism.
Other nations aren’t spiritual at all and want us and all of our land. Only a power greater then ourselves (within & in the earth nature) and suffering can lead us to this truth. Still others want our land etc.
Althou all speak the truth of bc peace and love being the answer we also need a way to defend our great nation from oppressors. We need to balance our consciousness w a need to be strong.
We all wish we can live in harmony in this life but only when ALL mature into Human Kind will it be possible. Practice tolerance love & peace like this Swami here on this journey as heaven waits for enlightened transformation he speaks of…
Pronam pravu
i have to agree since the mid 80s i approach all devotees of iskon,with extreme caution,mainly due to the negative publicity received by many,but Radanath does appear to redressing the balance,first and foremost he appears very humble,when he speaks of prabhupada he does so with genuine affection,im not going to rush out to any iskon temples soon,but lets hope the movement now begins to start a fresh and there is no more bad publicity.hari bol.
Iskcon is doing great. 😊🙏
Haribol
Hari bol
i love u swami
u r right my brother
jai shree kirshna
proud to be a hindu
Simple philosophy and wonderful examples to bridge the gap
Your right Johnny, no one person can know God the mind or will of God. But what we can understand if we want is what our relationship is to him. As a crude example lets say God is wealth, we may not be able to have all the wealth in the world but we may be able to have enough to completely satisfy us. Each of us has only a small aspect of the ultimate reality but even that glimpse maybe enough for us to open our minds to an eternal transcendent pool of knowledge.
hare hare
Wonderful and eye-opening lecture
Goose Bumps @33.40
Hinduism is the oldest religion of the world.........and religion of peace......
Hinduism dont spread by force........but by peace.....hence it is the best religion in the world.
Hinduism has given Yoga, Pranayam , Astrology to world which were formed many 1000 years ago............
"Proud to be a Hindu"
thanks for sharing IskconBoston
hare krishna
Very nice lecture. Wonderful.
We know enough to get liberated from the death cycle.
The approach to supreme wisdom , enlightenment, God consciousness how ever people want to name it, the underlying principle and factor is the realization of humility. We are but very small part of an almost endless realm, and that's only materially, or within the realms of birth and death. Like you have explained nicely the world and the universe is massive compared to us. But we accept through a scientific spiritual path there is enough available info to go at least beyond birth and death
This is the godlove personified that I seek
Hare hare
Hare Krishna!!
Hari Hari bol
If he would have read the Bible thoroughly and had an understanding of God's love towards mankind, he wouldn't have chosen this path. May his eyes be opened towards the light and truth..
1 Corinthians 3:2 - I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready.
lol jesus itself is saying that bible is not the topmost knowledege
but in bhagwat gita spoken by supreme lord he himself says that this is supreme secret
Bg. 18.68
ya idaṁ paramaṁ guhyaṁ
mad-bhakteṣv abhidhāsyati
bhaktiṁ mayi parāṁ kṛtvā
mām evaiṣyaty asaṁśayaḥ
For one who explains this supreme secret to the devotees, pure devotional service is guaranteed, and at the end he will come back to Me
also you must know that jesus says i am son of god, let`s see who is father
Bg. 14.4
ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā
I am the seed-giving father for all the living entites
atleast you should read bhagwat gita not because bible is wrong but because jesus himself says that it is not the topmost knowledege
@@radhashyamsundar_ hope you haven't had the knowledge of all Vedas and then get an understanding about Bible. As it clearly says that when God gives solid food people still go for watery things that considers different to God almost high.
That just the study of external phenomena and the biology and chemistry of the physical world. In the eastern traditions there are processes where we can also understand consciousness and what is the nature of consciousness and what our relationship to the material phenomenal world is. Science has its process to acquire knowledge and the spiritual eastern religions also have their process to understand the more subtle aspect of existence namely consciousness which modern science is behind.
Really great
I thought that I explained the human mind to you and the function of its creativity and the purposeful intention of it? We as human beings will never know our beginnings. But from the physicality of the observable world around us, we could at least judge what we see as reality in a small way. I say small since we humans aren't much more advanced or civilized from our primate ancestors. We exist here on earth only a fraction of a second in the scheme of evolutionary time. We know nothing. Dreams!
Yes science will always advance and change, thats natures law and new information will be understood. But i am not so quick to dismiss the findings of the ancients, especially when in their own traditions for thousands of years people have attained to liberation from the phenomenal world and discovered or attained a conscious awareness that is is beyond the cyclic existence of birth and death.
According to the revealed truths of ancients rishi's (seers) and enlightened beings and ultimately the supreme being is that the soul, atma (consciousness) is known to be as subtle as 100th part the size of the tip of a hair that again was divided into a 100th parts which equals 1/10,000 the tip of a hair. Because we are living examples of consciousness and so is the rest of life we accept this as enough proof to explore this through conscious attributes such as introspect.
50:35 Professor Clooney just leaves abruptly, when Radhanath talks about his father reading a book. It was like Clooney got angry or something.
Did HIs Holiness bring his harmonica with him?
very fantastic lecture haribol
Its gives me Yoda vibes
Your thinking only on the physical level. We are saying through conscious practices an element of of consciousness that is the center or behind all the causes and conditions exists. That manifests itself through awareness, your reading this message right, so your aware of the symptom of your own consciousness, that's the deathless. There are enough tried and tested processes that have explored this even further to reach the ultimate goal of liberation from birth and death.
I think extremes are bad, its not that i am against religion and pro science, neither am i pro religion and anti science. If both are used correctly they can benefit mankind with less restriction. The best way to be i feel is pro knowledge and to acquire good knowledge where ever it manifests itself. if we become fully aware then everything is a teacher, moment by moment a truth can be revealed, that's the wonder of life. If our views are to lopsided then we become blind and ignorance sets in.
lovely
Consciousness exists in many different levels of acuity in all living things. Feelings exist in plant life & in some form in bacteriological formations. Programmed bacteriological diseases, pathogens & viruses strive to destroy all living cellular components around them for survival purposes as we do on a completely different level of attrition. We seek the chemical combination nutritional factions of this earth continuously or die in the process. Survival depends on chemical re-absorption.
In due time you may be right. Mankind has evolved to increase the average age of human death from its early beginnings in the early 20's to that of the later 70's because of better nutrition, societal intervention and community, better medicine and conveniences overall. The next 20 years will bring the eradication of most known diseases which will increase mankind's lifespan even further on average. But, newly evolving, propagating microbial diseases will emerge to once again conquer.
"The place that we came from before our birth we will once again return to after our death!" As much as we had felt or remembered before our birth we will feel and recall after we die. We will return to the same chemical constitution from which we were formed. Trillions of living conscribed programmed cellular and bacteriological constrictions of protoplasmic matter make up the human body. They live, multiply, divide and die from the moment of our inception in the evolutionary prism of life.
Senescence / apoptosis the death of the living cell takes place continuously even before our birth during conception & until the day the entire organism dies. Death reigns within all living things forever until complete death occurs. All of these dead cells are eliminated from the organism, expelled and removed to be reabsorbed back into this earth from which they once came, to then be reconstituted genetically in a newly formed life form in the circle of life. The evolution of life continues.
The guy on Black suit looks so arrogant. My Christian friends are so friendly and smiley all the time.
Each living entitie is a temporary manifestation within the universe, all entities serve at least some purpose, as one can feed from another. How is that without purpose. And your asking why would God create a a field of birth of death. But what is our claim to know the mind of a supreme being if one exists, just because we see no purpose doesn't mean there isn't one. We are also infinitesimal part of this universe, but in our own right we know we have purpose. Can we claim autonomy universally
Because sometimes people put there own view on how it should be, why would it be utopian. Why isn't the nature of man more compassionate andn ot create war out of his own freewill. Why do governments tax, why are famines man made ect ect. Sometimes we just have to accept the way things are. This is not blind acceptance but a letting of our preconcieved idea and explore the conscious relams more deeply, through insight and intropsect. The first thing that anyone will fnd is pure morality.
This man present time sage
This is not new information for followers of the Vedas. For thousands of years the Rishis, sages and revealed scriptures have spoken about change that happens in material phenomena and every single living being is fighting for survival. But beyond this is the base of life, or the atma, Brahman or consciousness which is an energy that is only conditioned but not a part of the external factors. This is what we seek, conscious awakening beyond death.
He is more hindu then indian hindus💯🕉🚩
Not only is every living being fighting for its survival but every living thing from bacteria to plant to insect organism must do the same for its survival. Even plants seek out moisture and sunlight for survival. Ask yourself why life had evolved or arose in this way? Everything needs to procreate to live, multiply, progress its species and inevitably find death at the end of all of this.. Why would god make a world as this? Consume nutrients, expel waste products, procreate? For what purpose?
Great so you accept that life is product of some chemical reaction. Thats your choice. I trust in the systems and revelations that underneath the chemical and biological make up of life that there is an energy force filed known in Sanskrit as Brahman. Good luck i hope you find happiness and peace in what you have accepted as your truth.
that Black suit guy finally live the place hahahha
how?when all religion teaches tolerance of others and there beliefs,and jesus stated thou shalt not kill,hinduism cannot be called simple minded faith its the most fascinating and complex of all religions,its man trying to be god and his inability to be tolerant and humble and follow the lords instruction correctly that causes so much war,its actually lack of religous principle that causes chaos and war,as we are now finding out because all men want to become god out of envy.
maharaj ji this river is MOTHER GANGA not gaanjis..
Hare Krishna that is English assent of Maharaj though he has full realization of Ganga's glory
He is always Aline when all those make up stories take place.. How????
the awkward moment when krishna says in bhagavad gita TO ABANDON EVERY RELIGION.cmon guys,GOD is not limited for HIM to be present in a religion
eminem0327 who said Eminem in 8 miles
eminem0327 in bhagbat gita its said that "sarbadharman parityajya mamekang sharanam braja". Here dharma not mean as religion but evry kind of rituals and bondings.
Its kind of creepy. He sounds like a Japanese Samurai.
Eminem made a comment.
I'm sorry but I'm not hearing anything about Krishna. I don't know why this man insists on preaching in this obtuse way. it leaves me cold. This is not in any way what we were instructed by our spiritual master Prabhupada. Thiis is some vague concoction without value..
this black suit father look like so bored with this beautiful speech .
Disappointed about the swami saying that Hindus and Muslims dont get along in India. In fact India is the best place for any religion.
+vikramctg are you sure? :P
+bibhasdmusic are you sure that's not the case?
vikramctg Go out and see. Or the news. You will see the truth. :)
+bibhasdmusic lol. What news? Also do you hate muslims?
vikramctg No. I don't hate anyone. News of racial intolerance, which is in it's all time high. That's what I am talking about.
the tipical envious person who dont see good in others...
horibol..........................
ALL religion is based on personal perception and a dogmatic belief of a specific delusional solipsistic credulity in faith at best. It quells the need for mankind's worrisome fears and woes; especially that of death. No man holds the keys to heaven or hell. No man could redeem sin for vicarious redemption. No man knows the will or the mind of GOD!
Swami is so scripted.. he need to change his hunger
