Radhanath Swami on Hearing and Chanting God’s names

Radhanath Swami on Hearing and Chanting God's namesJust like we need food for the body, we need food for the soul. And what is that food? Hearing and chanting God’s names in the association of saintly people. Otherwise, we will give in to temptations at the smallest instance. We will be weaklings, spiritually.

  4. “Hearing and chanting God’s names in the association of saintly people.”, looking forward intently to Vrindavan Yatra

  6. …its only because of You Maharaj and Your disciples that have developed taste for chanting and at times of difficulties the promise made to You helps me to overcome the challenges ….

  7. Heard a Q & A recently to one of the Mhj’s – about balancing chanting and rendering service…Answer was – chanting is most important service, so take care no other service hampers this service!!!

  8. To the degree we understand the importance of chanting the holy names of the Lord, to that degree we can actually distribute it to the world & also to that degree we can access the Lord’s mercy.

  9. Thankyou Maharaj for providing us with food for body (all the wonderful festivals in the temple) and food for the soul ( lectures in these festivals)

  14. Radhanath swami always gives importance to hearing and chanting the glories of the Lord’s Holy name

  15. Body is temporary.soul is permanent.But in ignorance we think that body is everything but because of Prabhupads writings we are able to know what is what.So Radhanath swami as he is the disciple of Prabhupada he is following the instructions.and we have to take them very seriously in our life.

  16. Perfect statement.Existence of the body is temporary wherein soul is eternal.Therefore eternal soul requires something eternal and that is Holy-Names of the Lord,HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA, KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE, HARE RAMA HARE RAMA,RAMA RAMA HARE HARE.

  17. Feeding soul is more important than body, because we are souls. devotional service feeds souls. All glories to HH Radhanatha Swami Maharaja.
