Radhanath Swami, as sweet as a leader could be.

“Great leaders get people to think more of themselves, not more of the leader.”

Radhanath Swami is a brilliant orator. Thousands all over the globe, and especially in India, hear his recordings regularly to nourish their spiritual lives. Many openly admit their addiction to Radhanath Swami’s lectures—and I am one amongst them.  You can spot me in the front row whenever Radhanath Swami discourses at Radhagopinath Ashram.

A few years ago Radhanath Swami was invited to Kolkata for holding a series of talks on the Vedic scripture Srimad Bhagavatam. As he was about to depart from Radhagopinath Ashram, a throng gathered around to see him off. I stood at a distance, in feeling. I would miss hearing from him! Suddenly, Radhanath Swami gestured me to come closer. He embraced. Then as he gazed affectionately at me, lengthy few moments of silence passed.

Finally he said, “It will be hard for me to speak at Kolkata without you sitting in the front row.” He then left, as I stood there speechless–bashful, but with a bounty of self-worth.

“Great leaders get people to think more of themselves, not more of the leader.” Amazing article. Important lessons to learn. thank very much

great is the master, whom the servant doesn’t leave; and great is the master whom the master doesn’t leave.
aspiring to be one alike.

Really Radhanath swami Maharaj is a GEM.He has been inspiring and motivating like anything.Maharaj ki jai hoo..Hare Krishna.

Radhanath Swami indirectly encouraged Gopinath Chandra P to sit in front so that he can get more attached to Maharaj.

How personal is Radhanath Swami can be known from this heart touching incident. Although he has such a huge fan following Radhanath Swami still takes out time to appreciate his disciples.

this is a proof of Radhanath Swami’s selfless nature – he always thinks of others…Humility does not mean to think less of oneself but humility means to think less about oneself!

How a leader needs to be conscious of his subjects is something what the modern day leaders should understand and imbibe it in their lives.
