The Unforgettable Dimly Lit Night
By admin on July 10, 2010 | Category: Purity | Tags: Radhanath Swami, Unforgettable Night | 170 CommentsAn unforgettable night! It was pitch dark except for the faint light that shimmered from the crescent moon and the stars above. I felt real love touch my heart and I cried; I looked around and discovered more crying faces. Radhanath Swami’s devotional singing, having filled the silent skies, was now slowly seeping into our hearts.
We, numbering around three thousand, were seated at the holy spot of Man Mandir, Barsana, a place whose description also appears in Radhanath Swami’s autobiography, The Journey Home. It’s a favorite spot of pilgrimage for Radhanath Swami and his followers alike.
Amidst that soul touching experience, it all of a sudden dawned on me that I was crying after ten years. I was habituated to killing my sentiments with alcohol and drugs, for I had concluded that sentiments always culminate in misery: whenever I had nurtured loving sentiments towards someone, I had eventually suffered the misery of a broken heart.
But now, when Radhanath Swami tapped into my sentiments again, I didn’t want to restrain them. Through his song, I was able to channelize my sentiments to love God, and God is someone who never breaks anyone’s heart.
