  2. Maharajah is instructing us that we should understand the philosophy, then live our life according to those principle.

  4. Especially, in today’s modern world, we see many so called philosophers, who preach so many things but their own personal lives are quite questionable. This makes people lose thier faith in any kind of religion.

  5. People say that it is easy to preach but difficult to practice. We can understand the importance of our behaviour by this simple quote of H.H Radhanath Swami Maharaj carrying deep meaning.

  7. Thanks Maharaj. With the same heart please bless me with the strength to hold spiritual values very sacred in my life.

  10. If we don’t have proper behavior, then no body is going to listen what we are saying.So, it is very important to have proper behavior, only then philosophy we teach will affect others

  12. Radhanath Swami’s words are so penetrating because he practices what we preaches. If we want to follow in his footsteps we must also practice what we preach.

  13. Yes we all need to have a very ideal behavior to present our Krishna Consciousness culture to everyone in a way they appreciate. Please pray for me .

  14. Maharaj in saying this is leading by example. Maharaj has adapted virtually everything in his own life before preaching the same to others.

  19. So true, its waste of time and hypocricy if we dont walk our talk! Radhanth Swami is aperfect example of “Walk ur Talk”

  22. Radhanath Swami Maharaj definitely is a true sanyasi as defined in scriptures, following what he preaches through his behavior.

  25. Lofty philosophy just gives the intelligence room for flexing muscles but if this doesn’t sink into the heart, the person is no better than a parrot repeating some wise stuff without understanding a word – there is no practical worth.

  27. Radhanath Swami strikes the heart and root of essence with the statement. Without proper behaviour, just philosophy makes little or no sense.

  29. Radhanath Swami is one of those rarest persons who exemplifies both in philosophy and behavior. This is the reason why Radhanath Swami attracts so many souls.

  30. Radhanath Swami not just preaches but teaches with his own exemplary behavior. That’s why his words, loaded with wisdom, touches our heart.

  32. Armchair philosophy without putting it into practice is no better than tea-time discussions of the mediocre. It sounds high, but is quite ordinary.

  35. Radhanath Swami never compromises on the standards to be followed by a genuine spiritualist. This is what gives strength to the God-conscious movements such as ISKCON.

  36. Thank you for the reminder, each interaction we have contributes to the ongoing impression of a group, positively or not…

  38. Thank you for giving us a deep understanding that without properly following there is no meaning to have the knowledge on philosophy

  40. Philosophy is meant to be the platform on which virtuous behaviour is built. This is how true saints have changed millions of hearts—by living the philosophy.

  43. We should only preach what we can practise, otherwise our preaching has no meaning. It cannot touch the one whom we are preaching to. My heart felt thanks to Radhanath Swami for reminding this truth to me.

  44. A very profound statement by someone who is more than capable of making such a statement and at the same time following it to the hilt. Brilliant!!!!

  46. yes its a fact that action speaks louderthan words. very true our behaviour need to be exemplery all the time and for that to hapen we require regular assocition of people like Radhnath Swami.

  48. Philosophy is meant for practicing it in our own life.When we practice it then it will reflect in the form of good behaviour.Simply speaking philosophy has no value as it will neither benefit us nor others.

  49. Action speaks louder than words as the saying goes. Radhanath Swami wants us to preach the message by our own example else we are simply listnening or speaking philosophically and are hollow when it comes to applying it in our lives

  50. Very true. Big Philosophy we can find, but to live it and practice it, is the big challenge. Maharajah, only under your guidance and by your mercy we can try to make it reality in our lives.

  51. Since I work in the field of education, I wonder about our awarding of PhD, Doctor of Philosopher title to people who simply run some routine experiments on the computer, without any interest in any type of real philosophy, what to speak of reforming one’s behaviour?

  52. This quote of Radhanath Swami specially applicable to people like me. To practice what we preach is the toughest in this world. Only constant reading and association of great souls like Radhanath Swami can get us closer to a good behavior.

  53. The world has seen many philosophers or perfect models of propriety. However Radhanath Swami aptly summarizes the behavior of an ‘acharya’ – One who practices what he preaches. One such example is Radhanath Swami himself.

  60. HH Radhanath Swami preaches by his own example, and that is how when there are wisdom words by him (likes this one), it makes impact on the reader. In ‘Journey Home’ book Radhanath Swami has shared such wisdom lessons with all the readers in an amazing way !!!

  62. Mind blowing statement, now a days we see many leaders/so called saints say big big things but when it comes to follow in their own life, they fail miserably.

  63. Radhanath Swami is such an exalted personality – who always talks only after having walked the path and never stops walking the path for what ever cost. His book the “The Journey Home” is such a powerful example…even as a young spiritualist, he never compromised and exercised a very high level of integrity…

  64. Real philosophy is one which can be practiced and a real teacher is one who teaches by practicing it himself.
    Radhanath Swami is exemplary in his conduct, and is a living example of all that he preaches.

  68. In fact H.H.Radhanath Swami Maharaj has always been a proponent of preaching through his impeccable behaviour.

  69. We all thrive on this sort of conduct, but to admit it is hurting our false ego. It is under guidance of pure souls like Radhanath Swami one can make a serious endeavor to break out of such conduct.

  70. Action speaks louder than words. Raadhanath Swami very explicitly tells the behavior is more important. Anyone can can speak high philosophy but implementing is not that much easy. Hence behavior is the criteria for an exemplary person. all glories to Radhanath Swami.

  71. Proper behaviour is so important and Radhanath Swami emphasizes the same in connection to philosophy – probably an indication that followers of philosophy have a greater responsibility and must exhibit exemplary behaviour

  73. Maharaj expalins in very simple words. We see the people dont follow this simple idea of “WALK YOUR TALK”. Maharaj is live example of this. JAI !!!

  74. I remember hearing this in one of Radhanath Swami’s lectures. The point struck me like a thunderbolt. It is so true, we may be able to speak big philosophy, but unless we practice it ourselves, it will not make an impact on our lives on on the lives of others.

  75. Nowadays there are only few bonafide saints like Radhanath Swami who actually practice what they preach.

  76. Yes, who respects just big words but petty behavior? In fact, the sterling behavior is what attracts one to the philosophy followed by the one exhibiting it.
