Philosophy is like a product and culture is like the packaging. Without proper packaging the product will not be protected. Nor will it even look attractive.
- Radhanath Swami
What a nice explaination
How applicable to present age scenario.
Philosophy also needs a bonafide guru like Radhanath Swami for it to be more appealing. Radhanath Swami’s simplicity & genuine compassion makes him so inspiring.
Wow! What an amazing anology to drive a complicated point.
Thank you HH Radhanath Swami for giving such a lucid explanation.
Thank you Radhanath swami for your wonderful quote.It is a wonderful explanation.
His Holiness Radhanath Swami is a person who can explain the most difficult of the points in the most easiest of ways. Above is a small example.
Radhanath Swami has presented in this simple quote the importance of both philosophy and culture through a self explaining analogy. Radhanath Swami is expert in presenting the things so nicely that they are conveyed appropriately to audience
This is relevant for all those who are attempting to make positive changes in their lives.
Thank you
Very deep point.. Thanks for this quote
Radhanath Swami has always laid emphasis on culture and it’s protection.
Thankyou for posting the Quote! Gives a very good understanding on the importance of Culture!
Radhanath Swami has pointed out beautifully why strong philosophy will not sustain if there is no culture to encase it.
let’s focus on the cultivating the culture now. we need a blend of east and west. let’s stand in queues everywhere, let’s not gossip, let’s not expect credit and let’s try to cry to beg to be happy to see other devotees happy
Does anybody even give a thought to the aspect of culture,people generally are very agitated and intolerant when it comes to spirituality or what we call religion,but wait a minute what does our CULTURE reflect.Here Radhanath Swami is laying down the need for possessing a culture ,if that is right the rest follows.
Really it shows the gratitude of Maharaj
What an accurate and beautiful analogy
Thank you Maharaj for your message. Now a Days, all of the human society leads to atheism because they can’t give the reasoning on what they are doing or following. Radhanath Swami in this small words is given a clear understanding of following the culture with philosophy improves one’s faith.
Thank you maharaj for giving such wonderful message.
Beautiful explanation of why culture is not just some rituals.
Thanks radhanath swami for such enlightning thoughts and quotes.
I have never before come across just a wonderful description of philosophy and culture. Thank you very much, Radhanath Swami!
Very nice anology given. Thank you very much.
thank u maharaj for such an enliving insight on the importance of good association
And the best place where you can see both the philosophy and culture in its pristine glory is the Radha Gopinath temple at Mumbai, so lovingly developed by Radhanath Swami, where every woman is addressed as Mataji (meaning mother in Hindi) and everyone, irrespective of one’s social or economic position is given an opportunity to serve God.
Philosophy is meaningful when imbibed and Swami has imbibed the philosphy very well
What a cogent and yet lucid analogy. I am impressed 
…now there is burning desire in heart to see HH Radhanath Swami.
Wonderful. If a philosophy is without culture, it won’t attract peoply. And also, if there is no philosophy a culture is based upon, that also would not do any good majorly.
Radhanath Swami has described the relationship between philosophy and culture so aptly. He is really eloquent.
It is a very subtle and a highly profound realization coming from the lotus lips of a great saint like HH Radhanath Swami.Thanks Maharaj for this wonderful realization.
Wonderful statement . It really matters to have good philosophy packaged in good culture .
Importance of culture so nicely described by Radhanath Swami. Thank you.
Importance of culture with philosophical understanding in Krishna consciousness is wonderfully highlighted by Radhanath Swami.
A profound analogy!!
Very interesting analogy of Philosophy and culture. If the culture is not good no matter how good the philosphy is would not sustain for long time. Jai Maharajah.
Some people think culture is superfluous and only the philosophical truths are substantial. But here Radhanath Swami very matter-of-factly explains that without culture, the philosophy will be lost because by itself its not so attractive.
Nice analogy, thank you so much Maharaj.
Thank you for this quote.
Thank you
