After 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
Wow!
Maharaj, let me follow in your footsteps and let me be focussed in my service to you. Please empower me. Thank you Maharaj.
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.
Nice article..Radhanath Swami is really a source which is inspiring thousands of people to become krishna conscious means ultimately happy…
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.
Radhanath Swami is like a burning fire of spirituality and whoever come in contact with him he burns the materialistic desire of that person. Radhanath swami Maharaj ki Jai.
Guru Maharaj is like a touchstone..he can transform even a dirty stone to pure gold
If a person can change as drastically as from Chillum to Chanting & discos to discourses , he must be experiencing a feeling , better with chanting & discourses.share this with as many people as possible.
Stupendofantabulously fantastic.
Nice one.
Eagerly waiting to read about from Chillum to chants!!
Radhanath Swami Maharaj’s book “The Journey Home” has a inspired many and by krishna’s mercy may it inspire all so that each and everyone becomes
Krisna Consiousness.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience. H.H.Radhanath Swami shows everyone a way to find the Absolute Truth by his book “The Journey Home”.
Very true Rippon. Maharaj’s discourses take us to our real spiritual world.
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.
Very inspiring
Too good
Haribol! Guru Maharaj ki jai!
Radhanath Swami is teaching us how to face the realities of life…not to run away from them artificially…..!!!!
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
Great title of the post! Thankyou for posting!
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.
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.
sweet,thnx rippon
Radhanath Swami’s words leave a deep impression…..and Im re-reading ‘THE JOURNEY HOME’ again as each new reading gives me newer and fresher insights.
Radhanath Swami leaves deep impression on everyone he meets.
Thats so very true. Very inhspiring. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful experience of Radhanath Swami’s vani.
Wow, amazing realization. HH Radhanath Swami has inspired so many people all over the world.
Radhanath swami’s lectures are like nourishment to the soul.
great
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
Rippon thank you for being honest about your transition from sense enjoyment to spiritual bliss. Radhanath Swami has inspired hundreds of people to follow this path.
I personally also have same experience!
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.
True! Chanting and Hearing in association of genuine saints like Radhanath Swami transports us from all our ill conditionings to a purified and blissful existence
That was good! Thank you Radhanath Swami:)
Well said:chanting gives the strength to tolerate miseries, while Radhanath Swami’s discourses provide knowledge to overcome them.
What a nice statment by Rippon – “chanting gives the strength to tolerate miseries, while Radhanath Swami’s discourses provide knowledge to overcome them.”
Radhanath Swami Maharaj’s discourses are really powerful.
Wow..quite dramatic Journey…Radhanath Swami is amazing teacher who can take anyone to the Journey of self discovery. Thanks for sharing.
Good one.
Very nice.
