Thank you Radhanath Swami for explaining the meaning of a true saint.
Written by Seema M P about 2 years ago.

H.H.Radhanath Swami always sums up deep and profound topics in simple succint statements. This he does not do to create punchlines but to help common man understand,remember and apply easily.
Unless there is true detachment from sense gratification and complete attachment to serving Lord for Lord’s pleasure, there cannot be true altruism, for anything else is for one’s own self either directly or indirectly and is therefore selfishly motivated.As long as there is selfish motivation, there cannot be saintliness.

Crisp definition of A real Saint
Written by Y.Raja Shekar about 2 years ago.

As Radhanath swami quotes, a real saint is always engaged in the loving service of Lord and naturally detached from the wordly activities though lives in this world. Radhanath Swami is one of those rarest saints who is absolutely attached to the loving service of the Lord. Thank you Radhanath swami for giving us the deep understanding of a real saint through a simple statement.
