  27. HH Radhanath Swami’s words are aligned with principles of ‘Bhakti Yoga’, they are so powerful and they should be followed for the betterment of our own lives.

  38. I remember listening to lecture of Maharajah where he mentions that Prabhpad had a “Temple President”, who at that time was not staunch devotee, but Prabhupad wanted him to president because he was dependable.
    It is true when we are dependable we can earn trust and respect, being whimsical does not take us anywhere.
    Thank you Maharajah for explaining it so nicely for our ultimate benefit.

  39. very important if we are whimsical then it is difficult at every phase of life, everybody will find difficult to trust us; but if we are dependable then there is trust/confidence towards us by the people connected to us.
    Thank you Radhanath Swami Maharaj for this.

  41. Super-quote! Once again! Doing whatever comes to mind (whimsical) is fashionable, but valueless. Being dependable, doing what is expected, no matter what the mind cries, is tough, but invaluable. Character is built on dependability, not whimsy.

  46. All of us should try to be as honest in our dealings with the outside world as possible. we have a very special responsibility as devotees to represent Srila Prabhupada to the outside world as honest law abiding citizens.

  47. Thank you Radhanth Swami. Very important instruction. Please empower me so that I can follow this always.

  48. Radhanath Swami Maharaj showed by his own example. He always follows his authorities and never criticizes anyone.

  50. Unless we become consistent in meeting others’ expectations from us, we cannot be trusted with any important task. We need to be self-driven & have the right desire & attitude towards our responsibilities. This is what Radhanath Swami expects from all his followers in their discharge of devotional service. If we do this collectively under the inspiration of leaders such as Radhanath Swami, then our God-consciousness movement can quickly flourish by leaps & bounds. Otherwise we risk stagnation in our own spiritual endeavours.

  51. It’s sounds simple, but very deep essance is there in this quote of HH Radhanath Swami maharaj. In other words, if a devotee is not whimsical then he will surrender only to God or His representative.

  52. Its very important to be dependable …however if we are whimsical then people around us will not respect us. Thanks maharaj for this small but very important quote.

  55. By being whimsical, we become unpredictable and thus people stop trusting us to take solid, responsible decisions. By being dependable, we gain people’s trust.

  59. Wow! I had never thought that whimsical behavour will lead one to irresponsibility. Now that Radhanath Swami has stated this, it can be understood so easily.

  62. This is what we lack in, try to control everything and depending upon God in all circumstances. Thanks a lot for reminding me.

  64. Most of us want to depend on somebody so that our work becomes easy. However Radhanath Swami is teaching us to become more mature and accept responsibility.

  66. It is very important lesson to learn in order to progress in spiritual .Thank You Radhanath Swami Maharaj for teaching us a very valuable lesson.

  67. One who always depends/lives under the shelter of great saints like Radhanath Swami will surely attain perfection

  68. Radhanath Swami always focuses building a person from inside. One who has a strong inner foundation can take on most difficult circumstances in this world.

  70. If one is not dependable, then he can create great damage to himself and others also. It is very important that we don’t act whimsically
