  1. So true. Spiritual festivals bestow genuine fulfillment for hearts…..! We do not need any mundane parties now….

    1. Well said Keshavji! BG-2.49 talks about the same how when one gets higher taste, he does not get charmed by the lower tastes of the material pursuits.

  2. by ceasing sense enjoyment and by engaging oneself in the Lord’s service, one experiences a higher taste and becomes fixed in consciousness.
    wonderful Maharaja !

  10. True happiness is in selflessly serving bonafide saintly souls such as Radhanath Swami whose only goal is to bring the common people into the eternally blissful realms of God consciousness.

  11. Radhanath Swami is absolutely correct. Participating in the grand festivals such as Jagannath Rath Yatra & Janmashtmi makes us really blissful & helps us in transcending the mundane material anxieties & sorrow.

    1. Yes very true! That’s why scriptures encourage us to visit the Holy places with great saints like Radhanath Swami Maharaj, so that can truly appreciate the importance of Dhams.
