A Bigger Family Than We Thought
Stories from Radhagopinath Community of Love
Radhanath Swami was abroad when the news of Srinivas’s passing away reached him. Srinivas belonged to a different Sampraday, spiritual tradition, than ours. Our community’s only interaction with him would be once in a year when he helped us in the organization of Nagar Sankirtan, a spiritual event, in Poona, a city close to Mumbai.
Radhanath Swami shook our limited conceptions of a spiritual community when he suggested on phone that as many members as possible of our congregation immediately pay a visit to Poona: the family of Srinivas may now require our support. At that time it dawned on me that unlike many of us, Radhanath Swami always saw Srinivas as a part of our own spiritual family

A true devotee of the lord is always concerned about other souls.
True spiritual path breaks all the dividers and multiplies pure love. Radhanath Swami seems to live by that.
Radhanath Swami’s genuine concern & care for everyone is so overwhelming. Its not a mechanical ritual like we do in modern society where we ask “how are you?” and in the mind think, hope this guy does not give a long answer. We dont have time even to hear the answer what to speak providing anymore help?
This is a sign of a Spiritually Realized person. Such a person justs sees the soul of the person and not his externals.
Radhanath Swami sees people beyond their designations and if they are spiritually inclined then he automatically becomes part of the Radha Gopinath family

HH Radhanath Swami is a person for all the living entities, what to speak of human beings. This instruction of HH Radhanath Swami proves that spirituality has no bounds and is universal, Vasudaika Kutumbam.
This incident shows that magnanimity of Radhanath Swami’s heart. He does not follow a “use and throw” approach unlike most of us. He is grateful to each and everyone who has helped him in serving his spiritual master. Another point to note is his excellent understanding of human heart – what it requires, when it requires etc. This is possible only by a true saint who has realized God. All glories to Radhanath Swami !!!
