  1. very enlivening quote by H H Radhanath Swami Maharaj, he is not simply saying but his life is fully based on this principle. Thank you very much Gurudev.

  5. I pray to the esteemed Vaishnavas to grant me this blessing.
    That I can depend on Lord under all circumstances.

  10. Every country in this world has fought for independence. But very few people have thought about independence in this manner.

  11. True Surrender stated in wonderful words. Maharaj please bless me that someday I will be able to use my independene in a proper way.

  12. This definition of true independence is the most difficult one to accept by people at large, but at the same time, is the perfect antidote to all our woes.
    Radhanath Swami is a greate visionary whose words are worth following with all our heart.

  13. Radhanath Swami Maharaj very nicely defines the independence in true sense and not in the ordinary sense of independence of country/worker/women so on and so forth.

  15. Very true. We have the freedom to follow God’s will and depend on Him or completely do the opposite whatever we think is right.
    Thank you Maharajah for such rare instructions.

  19. Very deep spiritual insight being shared by Radhanath Swami. Seems contradictory, however looking at the matter more deeply will make us understand this aspect.

    God is the source of all that exists and when we connect to the root, we are in harmony with entire creation

  23. What a profound statement by Radhanath Swami.

    The True use of our independence is to cultivate dependence on God.

  27. Wonderful thought. This reminds me of the independence of the kite. Untill the kite is connected to its string it flies high and smooth but as soon as it is detached from its origin it just lingers and comes down.

  29. Great Quote – Only through the causeless mercy of Saintly persons like Radhanath Swami Maharaj, we can make the true use of our independence and cultivate our dependence on God.

  34. Maharaj always reminds us that we are the servant of the servant of the servant …Independence truly means dependence on God.

  35. Radhanath swami has very nicely stated that to get independence from MAYA(Illusion) one must become dependent on KRISHNA(God)

  36. Independence from the shackles of the notion that we are completely independent – that is real independence. Earlier I had thoughts that quotes were a once in a blue moon phenomenon. But saints – everything they speak has an eternal stature and relevance.

  37. To put such a great understanding in one line is simply amazing, Radhanath Swami yet again gives us a thought to ponder and implement upon.

  38. Today people have forgotten the real meaning of Independence. We hear people say, nation is Independent, women should be Independent. But what is happening under the name of Independence is just exploitation. Maharaj gives us the real meaning in simple terms. Jai !!!

  42. Even after gaining so called independence from the British people are still not happy because everyone is trying to enjoy independently wanting to become the Lord rather than realising ones mood as a servant who is simply meant to serve

  45. Radhanath Swami Maharaj has given such a simple explaination, all nations of the world should understand this!

  46. Maharaj’s quotes are like jewels. We can not be independent with out depending on God. Ultimately, surrender is the quality that has to be developed. This is the summary of Bhagavad Gita.

  48. This is a very simple but very difficult to follow instruction. Please empower us that we may work towards being totally dependent on Krishna. Thank you Maharaj.

  49. Thank you maharaj for showing us the path of true independence as total in-dependence on Lord.

  50. wonderful quote by Radhanath swami. Just like how we need to water the roots and then all parts of the tree are nourished. Similarly we need to serve god with love, then everything else will be taken care off.

  51. Independence means freedom to choose, and the greatest pleasure is derived by choosing to be dependent on God.

  52. We can develop that dependence on God by taking guidance from a pure soul like Radhanath swami.

  54. It is very nice of Radhanath Swami to present the true meaning of Independence especially in this day when there are multiple versions of independence being propounded by today’ s leaders. “The True use of our independence is to cultivate dependence on God.”

  62. As Radhanath Swami said here, when we depend on God we will become anxietyless. And to God and depend on Him we should depend on teachers like Radhanath Swami.

  63. Radhanath Swami always provides the higher principles. Everyone agrees freedom is desirable, but only saints like Radhanath Swami explain whats the best use of freedom – to accept that we are dependent on God.

  64. Radhanath Swami is explaining the method to obtain independence only by depending on God. All glories to Radhanath Swami.

  66. Thank you Radhanath Swami for this wonderful instruction! We hope and pray that we continue to use our limited abilities in depending on you for leading us to God

  67. Just as the finger by remaining attached to the hand/body gets nutrition and an opportunity to grow and develop, so also our dependence on God gives us true happiness.
