Radhanath Swami’s Reluctance to Take Credit
By admin on October 24, 2010 | Category: Humility | Tags: festivals, Radhanath Swami, youth | 122 CommentsOnce I went in to Radhanath Swami’s room to suggest topics for a talk he would give to over a thousand youth of Mumbai. This is one of the most eagerly awaited festivals where Radhanath Swami addresses large youth and inspires them to practise spiritual life. While suggesting topics I also appreciated his tireless sacrifice and dedication to serve. However during the whole conversation that lasted for over fifteen minutes, he expressed utter humility and refused to take credit for anything. He changed the subject of our discussion and asked me about my services. After I briefed him about the same, Radhanath Swami congratulated me and said, “I am eternally grateful and indebted to you for your loving services”. Finally he approved one topic “Real Problems, Real Solutions” amongst the many that I had suggested. Again, in naturally humility, he expressed, “I am a real problem and you are the real solution”. Whenever any of Radhanath Swami’s students have expressed gratitude to him, immediately he refuses to take credit and instead glorifies his students for their sincerity.
A truly humble person always sees the good in others and refuses to take credit for his achievements. Radhanath Swami is always conscious that we are mere instruments in the hands of God; it’s only by God’s grace that we can do any good to others.

Humility is the foundation of all qualities because it connects all other qualities to Krishna.
- from HH RNSM quotes

This is real humility of not taking credit and rather giving credits to others.

This is the reason that God has empowered him to do great things because he does not take credit for them bot pass it on to others. Thank you for sharing this incident about Radhanath swami.

Humility is a quality easy to appreciate, but extremely difficult to follow. This, though, is not true for a great saint like Radhanath Swami, for whom it comes very naturally as an expression of his surrender to the will of GOD.
Bhaskar
Radhanath Swami Maharaj always recollects and lives by what is real humility – “Amanina Manadena Keertaniya Sada Hari”. (Accept no credit for oneself and give all credit to others and in that state of mind always glorify The Supreme Lord).

Maharajah by his Personal example inspires his disciples to render services sincerely.
“I am eternally grateful and indebted to you for your loving services”.

Maharaj is Humility personified. His actions are like examples set for each of his Devotees and the society at large to emulate or at least get inspired by it.

this is spiritual world experience…where someone genuinely does not want anything or any credit for his service and simply wants to serve more!!!

Humility personified is Radhanath Swami. Just like Srila Prabhupada who always gave credit to his spiritual master, Radhanath Swami always gives credit to others.
