Radhanath Swami’s room in the Radhagopinath Ashram, on that day, felt like the hollow of a scanning machine. What was scanned?—my mind, which had been for a while bristling with innumerable misconceptions—some related to philosophy and others to temple management. Who was the doctor?—Radhanath Swami, who diagnosed every wrong idea cooped in my skull and spelled out its folly.

How was all this happening? After all, these were the thoughts that bounced secretly—just between me and my mind.

“How did you know what thoughts I had been harboring?” I asked Radhanath Swami.

“By observing you. Simply through observation I understand many things. In fact, I learnt the basics of my spiritual life simply by observing the Ganges,” he replied.

The air of mystery about his last statement was somewhat cleared-off years later, when I read his autobiography, The Journey Home. There he speaks in some detail of the times he spent on a rock amid the River Ganges.

Observation is so important for learning. I have never even thought of it. Thanks 🙂

Observation is such an important quality to cultivate. Simply by observation we can learn so many lessons from people and things around us. HH Radhanath Swami is an avid observer as confirmed above.

Thank you very much for sharing

Radhanath Swami has a very wonderful observation. He can read through our hearts.

i agree…i also have similar experiences which convinced me that Spiritual Master is beyond this body level..They can see through…i always feel: as a radiologist, i can scan the body, but He can scan through the mind and heart…His degree is ‘His purity’… .

A very nice article about His Holiness Radhanath Swami Maharaj.

Thank you so much Radhanath Swami

thanks a lot to share !!!

When we go closer to Radhanath Swami you can have the same feeling of getting scanned probably thats gthe power pure devotees possess

Thank you very much for sharing. Radhanath Swami understands our hearts and he makes us to go toward Krishna by his words

Radhanath Swami’s life is full of deep spiritual insights

HH Radhanath Swami is beyond yogic powers since pure Devotees are transcendental & connected with Paramatma. Hence the Lord who is omniscient speaks through them.

Maharajji could read your mind. He has amazing power to do that.

Spiritual master is the expansion of the supersoul within our heart

a great lesson for all the practicing devotees by maharaj. all glories to him

it is said ‘ most things are caught rather than taught’. in case of Radhanath Swami, because of the spiritual vision, this “catching” power is even more extra ordinary.
