I Won’t Come Down Until I See Radhanath Swami

“I won’t come down until I see Radhanath Swami,” Sita yelled back from the tree top to her relatives who were pleading from below. Now their cocked up heads dropped into their hands: How on earth to get Radhanath Swami here, to this remote village?

Sita was abused, and so she had climbed a tree threatening to commit suicide. Eventually she came down. But when I heard of this incident, what amazed me was Sita’s trust in Radhanath Swami. The thought of Radhanath Swami was all that her anguished mind raced to, for safety.

Before returning to her village, Sita had worked as our house maid in Mumbai. She was 12 when we first saw her, a simple innocent girl. One Sunday when we were at Radhagopinath temple, she was with us as we met Radhanath Swami. “Who is she?” Radhanath Swami had asked. “She is our maidservant, Sita,” I replied. He glanced at Sita, a glance so gentle, and one that awakened faith and hope. In his simple unassuming nature he then said, “And I am her servant.” Sita’s eyelids fluttered and she bashfully looked downwards. Just that one statement had sown a seed of faith in her heart: here was a person who saw beyond who was rich or who was poor. In time that seed grew into an unshakable tree of faith that shaded her soul.

Later, even after she returned to her village, she never forgot him, and continued to follow his spiritual instructions.

    One quality we should learn from Radhanath Swami is, He never wanted to see any one lesser. Radhanath Swami wnated to serve every living entity beyond this worldy designations. This is the real meaning of egoless behavior. I only pray that I will get atleast one percent of Radhanath Swami’s humility.

    Clearly, faith is not developed by knowledge alone; its a matter of the heart which develops by being touched by the compassion of a true servant of God.

    Radhanath Swami practises the concept of being the servant of the servant of the servant, as stated by Lord Chaitanya, always. Thus these kind of instances keep happening naturally. Thank you for sharing this.

    That clearly shows the power of love which Maharaj has for everyone. In one meeting Maharaj could penetrate into the heart of a little girl to the extent that she found him only as her rescuer.

    When we meet a pure soul, it just touches the very chord of our existences, Radhanath Swami is one such pure soul, I say this with a heart felt gratitude, in a life time you meet so many persons or are guide to others yet there is some element missing, but having experienced the pure compassion of Radhanath Swami somehow sooner or latter one realizes, this person is interested in my spiritual development.

    When Maharaj says service attutude , this is what it means;serve everyone as a servant. Maharaj wants everyone to see everyone as a spirit soul and oneself as their servant to help them on their journey back home.
