Thank you Radhanath swami for this wonderful quote of a real sadhu.
A very nice comment
All glories to Maharaj Ji. Maharaj definition of a saint is a parameter by which we can identify the real saint and offer our respect and not fooled by outer appearance only
HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj is given true defination of saintly person. We have to serve saintly person like Maharaj.
Radhanath Swami echoing the words of Sri Rupa Goswami one of the foremost proponents of Gaudiya Vaishnavism from Upadeshamrita verse 1.
This proves it that we are far from being saints but H H RAdhanath Maharaj is a perfect example fo this as he is always engaged in the service of the Lord.
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.
Crisp definition of A real Saint
an amazing definition!! really a person like maharaj can only give such deep understanding..
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.
Thank you Radhanath Swami for explaining the meaning of a true saint.
You have shown this Maharaj from your own experience..
This definition of a saint from Radhanath swami will definitely help us to discriminate between a true saint and a pretender.
You keep me in line Gurudeva!!
All Glories To H.H.Radhanath Swami Maharaj
THese quotes are really the guiding principles of how we sould live our lives on day to day basis.

This is a wonderful quote. It is not sufficient to be detached from sense gratification. It is equally important to attach ourselves to service of the Lord.

A real saint liek Radhanath Swami can give definition of a saint.
Once Radhanath Swami said you can’t have 2 masters. Its either Krsna or your senses. Thus to become a good servant of God you have to be the master of your senses.
Radhanath Swami is a person who walks the talk. Radhanath Swami is a saint and he can therefore define one.

This knowledge is missing today and people are getting cheated by fake saints who in dress of a saint are exploiting the people. Thanks to People like Radhanath swami who are showing by their own example as well as preaching – who is real a saint.
Radhanath Swami is instructing about the worthlessnes of indulging in sense gratification and about the sublime position that one attains by serving God.
This very appropriately describes Radhanath Swami’s personality.

Thanks maharaj. Your this definition of the saint tells that focus of a practitioner is not just anarth nivritti but more on how to revive the relationship with the devine.

very profound realization and definition of a saint from Radhanath swami maharaj
Radhanath Swami Maharaj ki Jai!!!!!
Radhanath Swami is a true saint. He has totally dedicated His life to the true welfare of all living beings, as a service and following order of His spiritual master and Krishna. Thus, Radhanath Swami is totally devoid or detached from sense enjoyment.
Wonderfully described by Radhanath Swami how a saint should be:
Detached from sense gratification
Attached to the pure devotional service.
In today’s situation, it’s very hard to find real saints.
this definition reflects HH Radhanath swami maharaj’s deep realizations about the devotional service
Thanks HH Radhanath Swami for making us aware the lightyears we have to travel, and giving us the hope and encouragement to do so!
only a true saint can give such a nice definition of saint

Radhanath Swami Maharaj is true saint. He manifest both the qualities to the fullest extent.

None other than Radhanath Maharaj can teach us to be like this.
It takes one to know one; who can define better that Radhanath Swami
What a statement!
Radhanath Swami Maharaj is teaching by his own personal example.
Maharaj truly sets an example of a true saint.
Best example for this quote is Maharaj himself. Thanks Maharaj for guiding us with your quotes.
Such a nice article for today’s so called saints, gurus and yogis. True saint is not only detached from enjoying spirt but also attached to serving God with love and devotion.
Radhanath Swami is awesome…
A disciple is likely to follow in the footsteps of his Guru Maharaj. HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj truly embodies the spirit of material detachment and loving devotion to Krishna as seen originally in HDG Srila Prabhupada.It seems like he has been empowered by his Guru Maharaj in his mission of trying to give ‘Krishna prema’ to all the conditioned souls like us.
Both are necessary: detachment from mundane enjoyment and attachment to spiritual activities. Thanks for the wonderful teaching.
A guiding principle to find a saint. A simple yet profound statement from Radhanath Swami.
Radhanath Swami teaches by his example
Radhanath Swami has so intelligently defined in one sentence what is the most important activity for us—loving service of the Lord, and the biggest obstacle to performing it—sense gratification.
Sense gratification is a totally alien concept in Radhanath Swami’s scheme of things. That is the main reason why his loving service to God comes about so naturally, unlike many cheater sadhus who just pretend to do so for their own reputation & other vested interest.
Hari Bol..
Radhanath Swami Maharaj has given a simple definition but still so beautiful!

Thanks very much Majaraj
Thanks very much Maharaja for guiding and instructing us on the true path
Thank you very much Radhanath Swami Maharaj for giving the true definition of a real saint which is very rare to see now a days.
In the midst of an ocean of fake sadhus, Radhanath Swami stands out as a genuine saintly person with impeccable spiritual qualities of the highest order. He is one of the very rare saints who actually walk the talk.
To the point…….regardless of his position, whether a householder or a renuciant, anyone can become a saint if he detached from sense gratification & attached to the service of the Lord….Thanks Swamiji
to the point defination of real saint..Thank you Radhanath Swami Maharaj.
HH Radhanath Swami uses words in such an economical way to convey the highest spiritual message in a most simple and convincing way to the recipient.
Radhanath Swami Maharaj not only saying the statements he lived in, and He showed by His personal way.
Radhanath Swami has given a very simple but profound definition of a true saint.
Srila Prabhupada, the spiritual master of Radhanath Swami says that mere detachment is not sufficient for attaining God unless one is attached to Him. Radhanath Swami, a perfect disciple of his spiritual master is as much known for his simple life and austerity as his devotion to God.
Radhanath Swami’s words are so profound , deep & filled with realizations ! More than His words HE teaches by His personal example. Radhanath Swami is truly “A Real Saint” following in footsteps of His Spiritual Master Srila Prabhupada !
