From Chillums to Chants
By It So Happened on July 16, 2010 | Category: Purity | Tags: Radhanat, radhanath, Radhanath Swami, swami | 58 CommentsAfter reading Radhanath Swami’s The Journey Home,I too am inspired to write about my journey-from chillums to chants, from discos to discourses. By chillums and discos one forgets the miseries of life. But chanting gives the strength to tolerate miseries, while Radhanath Swami’s discourses provide knowledge to overcome them.

A lot of people who come in contact with Radhanath Swami have changed drastically. Radhanath Swami is a true spiritual guru as he transforms people’s lives with his knowledge and compassion. Thank you Radhanath Swami.

Most of activities in our current affairs – are of this nature – we are engaged so that we forget the real miseries of life.
Look at the news papers – half of it is all the problems and other half about sports and actors/actresses – to forget the first half of the newspaper – there is no solution.
If we have find a permanent happy solution we have to come to the path of Spirituality and follow the likes of Radhanath Swami.

Very nicely put and explained. Thank you so much Rippon. Truly, Radhanath Swami hby His own example, shows how one should be determined to realize the aim of human form of life. One comes to know easily by hearing to such self realized souls as Radhanath Swami

The story of how a devotee comes to Krsna Consciousness is the greatest preaching – by example. We’re waiting for your story to inspire us.

We are so caught up in our lives ,where is the time to think of spirituality ,yes we all love to believe in some super power GOD, and we just carry out some mumbo jumbo thinking i am doing devotion or i am spiritual.Radhnath Swami through his many discourses systematically make us understand the role of spiritualism in our daily lives

It was really a wonderful experience to read.

People look for miracles to have faith in God. Here is one of many miraculous life-changes which sadhu asociation can bring about!

So aptly put…. Radhanath Swami’s discourses not only give the knowledge, but also the determination to put that knowledge into practice. Whenever I read Radhanath Swami’s articles I get the inner conviction to try and follow his teachings.

Rippon the journey of Radhanth Swami from chillum to chants was easy because he was never into chillums. Radhanath Swami was a man of those days and times but he was never with them. For us we are lucky to have Radhanath Swami guide us out of desires to be with chillums and discs. Well written Rippon
Anup Shah
Great title of the post! Thankyou for posting!
Dashrath Wasmatkar
I totally agree with Hrishikesh Mafatlal’s statement. Very nice.

Radhanath Swami’ capability to inspire even a person, who had had a tryst with the evils which the modern misdirected youth of today indulge in, to appreaciate GOD, is remarkable.
A true saint is appreciated by the ruffians, and gentle alike… nay, a true saint turns all into gentle souls.
Thank you Rippon for sharing your story with all of us.
Shikhar Maheshwari
Radhanath Swami is a transformer of Hearts. The most amazing fact which I presume everyone who must have heard him must have experienced that he does the OPEN HEART SURGERY with the scissors of his deep penetrating instructions without a drop of a blood out to repair the heart problems we face in this age.

Radhanath Swami teaches to prove that there is no misery at all, if you become Krishna conscious.

Thankyou Maharaj for these words of Wisdom. And what we have learnt from you that the real wisdom is to apply what you are exposed to in the service of Guru and Krishna

Anyone who comes in contact with Maharaj , his teachings and his life-story will surely advance on path of pure devotion to Krishna. All such people are really fortunate !!

The solution for all the problems that exist in this world is only the Krishna Consciousness which Radhanath Swami easily delivers to any one.
