  1. Very true! We have to progress in our spiritual lives otherwise we will be dragged down by Maya!

  2. Radhanath Swami is warning how we have to be so careful not to become complacent on spiritual path, else we go back ward instead of making progress!

    We always have to remember – we are in a race against time…

  3. this is wonderful statement of maharaj at each and every step material nature forces us to go down with out that will power to go against it we will be washes in the current

  6. Radhanath Swami says that one should strive and move forward otherwise the current of this world will force one to go backward. This is so true.

  13. Great inspirational thought for the good principle follower …
    Thanks to Radhanath Swami …

  14. Jai !!! Wonderful. The whole spiritual advancement of a devotee summarized beautifully in this statement.

  15. This is an ideal quote by Maharaj to make us ponder how much are we really progressing.If we are on the right path and we simply sit there we are likely to get run over.We already have an ideal Guru in HH Radhanath Swami.We must seek his mercy in a humble mood to be able to go forward in the path of ‘Bhakti’.

  16. Just as water always flows downwards never upwards the nature of this material world is that it always takes us down and down. But by the mercy of guru, if we follow the instructions then we can go against the current and do great things. One must never leave the feet of the Guru for that.

  19. Hare Krishna!!!
    This is so very true, this statement helps me to think that every moment i should be Krishna cosncious or else every moment I am going Backward THANK YOU MAHARAJ

  23. wHAT TO SPEAK OF SPRITUAL LIFE EVEN IN MATERIAL LIFE WE HAVE STRUGGLE TO MOVE FORWARD. THANKS FOR SUCH WONDERFUL REMINDER.

  25. Really very true! Like Maharaj always stressed for that we need to be always into association of devotees.

  26. Thank you Srila Gurudev from the bottom of my conscience for inspiring me to strive to move on and on looking up to the exemplary example set by senior god brothers.

  27. Radhanath Swami speaks for all of us when he warns against complacency.
    To rest on our accolades is a great danger which we should always be wary of, if we are to accomplish anything worth in our life.
    Thank you Swamiji for your wonderful thoughts.

  29. Thanks to Radhanath Swami Maharaj for ever encouraging us to keep going forward.

  32. Thank you very much HH Radhanath Maharaja for giving us warnings at every step of our life to be alert in our KC life.

  33. Whatever Radhanath Swami Maharaj’s always speak, it inspired me and goes deep in my heart.

  35. Radhanath swami ki Jay!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    It was so inspiring statement for a true Desciple

  38. thank u very much radhanath maharaj. one can leave a very ideal and meaningful life by applying even one statement of radhanath maharaj in life which he himself exemplified by taking prabhupada’s mission to huge leaps…….

  42. Very important instruction for persons on path of self realization.Thank you very much HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj.

  43. Thank you Radhanath Swami for warning us against complacency. We need to constantly struggle to keep improving.

  45. these quotes are my life and soul. i am studying 3rd year mechanical engineering in NITK surathkal and i get lot of inspiration by going through these quotes in my student life.

  46. Manjunath , please share some realizations which you got after reading maharaj’s quotes, only one line is not sufficient.

  48. thank you maharaj, for so clearly making us realize about our real duties as disciples.

  49. Thank you Maharaj for showing your example as disciple that how you are loyal to spiritual Master to follow his instructions.

  50. Maharaj, thankyou very much for this wonderful quote
    There is so much of false propaganda in the outside world that if one is not cautious of it and works on avoiding it cautiously, we will automatically be driven towards illusion. Thank you very much for reminding us about the nature of the world and the responsibility of a spiritual sadhaka

  51. Another wonderful insight by Radhanath Swami for a young spiritualist – how alert we need to be and every single moment strive to move forward. A moment of lapse will carry us way back down the stream and we have to now work more harder to come back to the point where we were.

  52. i seek blessings of guru maharaj and vaishnavas so that i never give up this struggle against maya

  53. Thank you Radhanath Swami for showing us the pitfalls on the path of spiritual life

  54. It is most important warning of teacher to a student. Thank you Radhanath Maharaj

  58. very instructive statement! Thank you gurudev! becasue we have to always be aware that we have to be striving against the downward forces of Maya in this world…

  60. True, without pushing ourself towards the path of spirituality , we will be traped in material [Maya] world . thankyou so much Maharaj for inspiring us Hare Krishna.

  62. Randomly searching the web for career development and came across this quote by Radhanath Swami. Amazingly helpful.

  63. Maharaj is stressing the need for us to improve in spiritual life whereas this very same point may seem to a materialist like Maharaj is exhorting to make as much money as possible in very short time.

  64. When we perform devotional activities in association of devotees we always feel we are progressing ….but when we are alone and try to practice it, same thing as mentioned by Maharaj above happens to us. Thank you very much Maharaj for always making us aware this

  65. So true…..spiritual life is like moving against the current……& one has to continuously strive to move forward……Thanks maharaj for guiding us to move forward

  66. THE GREATEST SADHU, PANDIT, MAHATAMA, ACHARAYA, GOSWAMI HIS DIVINE GRACE A.C. BHAKTIVEDANTA SRILA PRABHUPADA, H.H. RADHANATH SWAMI MAHARAJ… IS THE GREATEST GIFT TO MANKIND.

  67. It is very easy to become passive in our spiritual lives. Only when we hear to sadhus regularly can we have the determination.

  68. very true like in any art if you do not keep practicing you tend to loose what you have gained

  69. Radhanath Swami’s observations and one-liners are very powerful. Some of them hit you right in the middle. Such seemingly simple yet profound truths. Thank you Radhanath Swami for giving such inspiring messages.

  71. This is a sign of a real spiritual master who wants guides his disciples to right path and not one who is accepted for fashion.

  74. All Glories to H.H.Radhanath Swami Maharaj

    Very true, Persistence, Perseverance, and rock solid determination on the path of bhakti will only help us reach to the paths of pure devotional service.

    Hare Krishna !

  75. Very true………material world is full of envious people who try to pull you down……

  76. very true ! It happens with me so many times. Thank you Maharaj for awakening us to improve our spiritual life.

  77. Can’t afford to get complacent. This is a good lesson. Either we go upstream or downstream, we can’t remain in the same position.

  78. its very apt and true and such realizations come only after reading Maharaj’s quotes.

  79. Radhanath swami’s each and every word is very thought provoking and powerful in nature.

  81. Wonderful message. We have to always remain actively engaged in devotional service to sustain our spiritual life

  82. Thank you Maharaj for your message that if we don’t improve or move forward then we will fall down or forced to be backward

  84. This is really true.I experienced it many times.All glories to GuruMaharaj for inspiring me and reminding me the nature of this world from time to time

  85. Thank you Radhanath Swami Maharaj for this wonderful quote ..it just opens the curtian of maya from the eyes of fallen soul like me.

  88. Positive steps are very important, there is no such thing as neutral. Thanks, Radhanath Swami Maharaj for elucidating this principle.

  89. Thank You Maharaj for inspiration through your quotes You are like a bird flying high in sky ,still protecting its offsprings ,by keeping an eye and thinking about them

  91. Very inspiring quote to go forward inspite of any difficulties. We can gain strength to overcome any difficulties. Great..Very inspiring quote.

  92. many articles of maharaj & his followers are helping me to strive for improvement

  93. This is so true for all aspects of life , spiritual as well as material. Any person can derive so much motivation from this quote.

  94. This realization of Radhanath Swami is inspiring very much. The reality is not to waste even a single instant which never be gotten back. I need to travel on the right path ever.

  95. Very True.It is said that we have take Maya also as seriousely as Krishna.

  97. I can see inward that I am very attached to my weaknesses. However, Radhanath Swami’s revelation and constant urge and appeal to improve is the only hope for people like me.

  98. Thanks to Radhanath Swami for giving us this simple yet sublime message that would transform our hearts and thereby the whole society

  99. So very true. Radhanath Swami is really transcendental and gives instructions through such quotes for all of us and for sure, we will be going through situations wherein we can apply such meditations and get benefitted. All Glories to Radhanath Swami

  101. I can only exclaim “How true” and bow down my head as the quote reminds me of my lack of determination and persistence to improve and go forward.

  102. Shri Hrishikesh Mafatlalji is absolutely correct – we spend about 99% of our time thinking about how to improve our material situation compared to the measly 1% that we actually spend on making spiritual advancement. This is where we need the constant guidance & inspiration of Radhanath Swami’s association to cajole us back onto the spiritual path with renewed vigor.

  103. Maharaj is so well connecting the reality of this material world and how it apples for our spiritual life also.

  104. It’s amazing that for our material goals like promotions, better salary, bigger house, etc. we are constantly striving for improvement, but not for our spiritual goals or for improving our weaknesses.

  105. In the spiritual realm, we cannot afford to remain stagnant. That is what Radhanath Swami is instructing us. We need to constantly engage in devotional service. There is no concept of “interval” !

  107. Very True ! Quotes of maharaj are just one liner but can speak volume. Thanks Maharaj

  109. Once Maharaj has said that Disciple means Discipline. Therefore if a disciple is not disciplined in his\her each and every efforts then its very difficult to follow Spirituality.

  110. Radhanth Swami’s quotes always gives us a strong and practical message.By properly receiving meaning of that in our heart , we can or atleast we can try to change our behaviour in day to day life in this dangerous material world.In this world those who are even little awakened in spiritual life,knows vey well how a force pulling us down acting upon us and increasing as time passes.Thank you for allowing me write few words.

  112. Radhanath Swami is giving us the message in one sentence. We have to be consistent in our spiritual life else we will flow downwards as a person would in case of a river.
