  5. Maharaj talks about Citraketu maharaj and his wives:Firstly, co-wives were envious of other wife who gave birth to Hashshoka and why? because citraketu maharaj overwhelmed by bliss of getting a son neglects other wives. Both were victims of their circumstances and therefore, lost sense of their duties and proper behaviour.

  9. this is really true . but one need to come out of this zone by taking the strength from guru tattva. i pray to maharaj to give me that strength to live to the principles.

  10. Everyone of us suffers in this world because of the circumstances and Maharaj has aptly given the reason for this.. Amazing and Simple..

  11. Radhanath Swami in one of his lecture was talking about Queen Kunti the spirit in which she handled calamities, infact she prays for more bcoz thats the time we can take complete shelter of the Supreme Lord.

  12. Dukhalayam asasvatham – perfectly designed to reform all conditioned souls. Thanks a lot Maharaj for this insightful quote.

  14. Very sensitive, very profound. We all face this. Is nt it?
    Nice thing is Radhanath Swami states problem and also solution.

  15. Surrender to Krishna and come out of this vicious circle……this is what Maharaj is pleading everyone of us..

  16. True enough. This material world is like a vast ocean and we are tiny fishes in its waters. What power do we have to resist its power. Krsna says, “My material enrgy is very powerful, difficult to overcome. One who surrenders to me alone can cross over it.” Krsna is the only shelter if we want to save ourselves from being tossed over by the waves of material nature. Material world is being conducted by three modes of nature which are like very strong ropes tied to us. As they pull us, we can not do anything but get pulled in that direction. Krsna is the only hope.

  17. Radhanath Swami puts the most common problem in very simple terms for our mind to understand.

  18. Many of us feel victimized and pity ourselves when passing through adverse circumstances. But strong words from a Guru like Radhanath Swami shake us from our stupor of self pity and complacency, and make us stronger.

  19. We try to be happy here and center all our activities toward our desired goal, but most of the time we don’t get what we desire. We are trying to be happy in place which is meant for suffering, unless we take shelter of bonafide spiritual master and follow his instructions clearly, we will be victim of circumstances. Thank you Maharajah for such practical instructions.

  20. Maya just traps us in different difficult circumstances so that atleast through all this we would look for some escape and surrender to Krishna

  21. This statement has very deep meaning.truly we become the victims of the circumstance.thanks for sharing such quotes.

  23. Radhanath swami is pointing out the reality of this world, although bitter, so that we can be prepared to face it.

  24. yes i am victim of the material world , nothing can make me happy here, for that i must return to my eternal father, who is waiting for me

  25. If we spiritualise our activities according to Radhanath Swami’s instructions, then even the adverse material circumstances will not be able to affect us. We can still remain happy & blissful.

  26. We will continue to be victims of our material circumstances unless we take shelter of bonafide gurus such as Radhanath Swami & lead a devotional life in the service of God.

  28. Mahraj’s one line statement but such a deep meaning for the living beings in this material world.

  29. We are fortunate to have Radhanath Swami in our midst who is tirelessly trying to awaken the dormant love for God within us.

  34. The Person who has a real realization can share this thought. Read the Book “Journey Back Home” and after reading that book , can understand that Radhanath Swami is a genuine Spiritual Leader who is here to help all the Fallen Soul like us

  38. We may not be able to control our circumstances always. But we can surely control how we act. If we follow the instructions of Radhanath Swami, then we will be able to act in a righteous manner irrespective of the adversity of our circumstances. The outcome would then definitely be very favorable to our spiritual progress.

  40. Maharaji is alerting us from the nature of this world so that we don’t attach and react on it because behind this ultimate controller is Krishna only.

  41. Its only by guidance from spiritual people esp like Radhanath Swami that we can actually understand the true nature of this world and not become a vitim of situations.

  42. This statement by Radhanath Swami shows us that this world is intrinsically designed to cause pain and suffering. There is no sense in trying to find happiness here.

  43. Thats a crystal clear comment by Radhanath Swami Maharaj about our position in this world.

  44. True nature of world is always hidden from us. its only the spiritual gurus like Radhanath swami helps us understand it truely. Thank you Radhanath swami

  48. H.H.Radhanath Swami’s words gives us the realization on what we are experiencing in our lives in this world

  52. Hari bolll….. Its very true we can be a victim at any time because of this we have to take krsna consciousness very very seriously (as Maharaj always says) only then it will be possible for us to cross the ocean of nescience. Hare Krsna..

  53. Circumstances may not always be favourable for our material happiness. But we can still attain spiritual bliss even in adverse material conditions if we simply follow the instructions of saintly people like Radhanath Swami with full faith & devotion.

  55. In the midst of the selfish & chaotic society, if we associate with saintly people like Radhanath Swami, only then our lives will be meaningful.

  56. but for the one who follow the instructions of radhanath swami will always be in the safer hands,

  57. Thank You Radhanath Swami ! Without your guidance it will be practically impossible for us to understand the true nature of this world.

  63. Each and every word used by Radhanath swami is perfect choice. His words come from his heart, which is full of realization.

  67. I hope and pray that I remember this quote by Radhanath Swami at practically every testing times in my life….and try to be neutral to the situation be it in happy or sad times.

  74. Radhanath Swami gives most practical situation. These quotes by Radhanath Swami are coming from deep self realisation. Thank you for the wonderful quote.

  75. This quote by Radhanath Swami is absolutely true and our lives are a testimony to this.

  76. Being in this material world, our situation is very miserable, but we just have to make the best out of a bad deal. We need to associate with & serve the saintly people like Radhanath Swami, make rapid spiritual progress & go back home, back to Godhead to live an eternal life full of bliss & happiness in the loving service of God.

  77. Very true. The circumstances we inherit from our past karmas are binding and so difficult to break away from. Only our spiritual Master can guide us out of this bondage. Thank you Maharaj.

  78. So true. We are all living our lives based on what we are forced to live and not what we may want to live. Thank you Radhanath Swami Maharaj for this quote.

  83. It is easy to blame failure on circumstance. Radhanath Swami rightly points out that circumstances are likely to be inimical to our spiritual growth. The person who can overcome the adverse circumstances is the real yogi.

  84. As always Radhanath swami is merciful to remind by such nectarian instructions. Thanks to everyone that is part of this site and special thanks to Radhanath Swami

  89. Radhanath swami always emphasizes that we should not blame anybody for the problems in our life

  90. Very true. Thanks a lot Maharaj. I just want these words to be sculpted in my head so that I can remember them. Truth about the nature of this world can only help us tolerate the situations and circumstances.

  92. Very nice quote – it is important to understand the nature of this material world and then rather than blaming at becoming victims of circumstances – efforts can go in the right direction to go back Back to Godhead.

  93. Such a profound statement & can come only from a self-realized person – thank you Radhanath Swami

  96. To accept reality of this world is an intelligent act. To keep saying that the world is a nice place in the name of positive thinking is quite naive.

  97. Thank you very much to teach to accept anything that comes upon us as the mercy of Krishna for our purification and for His pleasure

  99. I think we should constantly read lectures from Radhanath maharaj so that we focus on our real purpose of life.

  100. It is very difficult to understand the True nature of this World without the Mercy and Guidance of saintly persons like Radhanath swami

  102. All GLories To H.H Radhanath Swami Maharaj

    How true is it. dont we live this everyday.

    Hare Krishna

  105. The 3 modes quite nicely bind us to be of the material world. But words of a sadhu, like Radhanath Swami, releases us from such bondage!

  106. Being victim of circumstances is very natural in this world but reading Radhanath Swami’s book on his journey …. He never seems to blame the circumstances ever but always seems to learn something very special and always in gratitude to the divine.

  109. Radhanath swami is showing us the reality that we are just carried away by the circumstances and we are not at all free to do whatever we desire, it just the illusion whne we think i do what i want.

  111. Thank you Maharaj for reminding us again and again of this temporary world full of misery.

  112. Radhanath Swami Maharaj warning us about the influence that the external circumstances have on us. It’s really profound. But by following Maharaj’s instruction that influence can be minimized to the least extent gradually.

  113. Maharaj is giving us picture of this world ,so that we can more suurender to Guru and Krishna.jai Gurudev!!!

  116. Very true. but it is so hard to remember this when we are under those circumstances, anger, dissappointment overtakes us. It is only for Self realized souls like HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj that they see those circumstances as spell of maya.

  120. It is difficult to see the Lord’s hand in difficult times. Radhanath swami is urging so nicely to come to higher level of Lord’s hand in all situations. Thank you.

  121. I heard in one of the lectures
    “As mush old we are, as close we are to the death and we do not know when we will die”

    This is the material nature….how true….

  122. Radhanth Swami’s every word gives great insight and inspiration. Thnk you Radhanath Swami Maharaj.

  125. Radhanath Swami is basically implying that we are the victims of our own actions because after all, it’s our words, deeds & thoughts which create the circumstances. Nothng is a coincidence.

  126. Very rightly pointed out by Radhanath Swami Maharaj. And only when we turn within and contemplate, refer to our conscience and exercise our free will maturely, will we be able to overcome circumstances by the grace of a spiritual master such as Radhanath Swami Maharaj

  128. Radhanath Swami always stresses on becoming a substantial devotee and not circumstantial devotee.

  131. So it is not a great surprise that we are all victims of the circumstances :-). I cannot now give that as an excuse to be not able to taking Krishna Consciousness seriously.

  132. The world today is like a dirty puddle. But if we follow the instructions of Radhanath Swami, then we can be like the lotus flower in that puddle, possessing beautiful qualities & yet remaining unaffected by the dirt around.

  133. HH Radhanath Swami is giving us the knowledge of the real nature of this world which in turn increases our dependecy on god.
    Thanks to Radhanath SWami…

  134. A deep thought gives a sign of relief and to go forward on the path of absolute truth….

  135. We tend to blame unfavourable circumstances for things not going our way. But if we accept God’s will, we will see everything as auspicious, even situations seemingly unfavourable.

  136. Very nice, thank you Radhanath Swami Maharaj. I am being tormented by the circumstances, i dont have any control over it. I cry for mercy.

  137. Thank you very much Radhanath Swami Maharaj for this insightful thought, some time we try to control the circumstances but we forget man proposes God disposes. Thanks a lot for making us understand on our inability to become a controller.

  138. We can overcome our adverse material circumstances only by taking the shelter of a bonafide guru like Radhanath Swami who can lead us on the path of eternal spiritual bliss & happiness.

  139. Radhanath Swami is basically implying that we are all bound by the laws of karma in this material world. The only way we can unshackle ourselves from this situation is to attain spiritual perfection.

  144. Such a deep truth of life and a very practical tip for a Spiritual practioner; how careful we have to be, stuggling to keep ourselves in the right association(there by minimizing the damage); be able to take shelter in this association when victimized and be able to tolerate these disturbing circumstances with Spiritual strength

  147. So true Maharaj…At times although its not our fault we still are victim.Thanks maharaj your quote answers few questions.

  148. Currently in my personal life, I am in some work related problem. This statement by Radhanath Swami has answered all my questions.. I am grateful to you Maharaj.

  152. Thanks very much Maharaj for you diligent efforts to make us see the futility of this world.

  153. Without Exception, this timeless law of nature stated by Radhanath Swami Maharaj is all the more relevant in the modern days where Gandhiji’s “Simple living high thinking” principle is being fast replaced by materialistic aspirations … the gravity of this law increases to the degree we hold such aspirations…

  155. Since the creator of this world Himself (God) mentions that this is the nature of the material world, no matter how hard we try we cannot change this dukhalaya asasvatam principle. Thank you Radhanath Swami for giving such apt quotes.

  156. On our own we cannot free ourselves from provoking situation, because we are bounded. But, if we take guidance of selfless personalities like HH Radhanath Swami, we will surely one day become free from the influence of modes of nature and overcome the influence of trying situations

  157. Radhanath Swami Maharaj has put it aptly. There is a certain degree of helplessness which Radhanath Swami Maharaj has brought out beautifully.

  158. In this world, there is danger at every step. We do not know what can happen at any moment. Instead of wasting time in useless pursuits, the best thing to do is to seek the shelter of a great man like Radhanath Swami and know from him the purpose of life

  160. When every passing moment, we are diminishing, then there is no question of we becoming happy one day. we are victimised but under the spell of illusion we r not ready to accept it.What Swami(Radhanath) says is absoulatly right.
