My Travel Plans
Stories from Radhagopinath Community of Love
“Do you think your two month old child can handle this long and arduous train ride?” I was speechless, for I had never pondered over that. Yet, amazingly, this was Radhanath Swami’s first concern when I told him of our travel plans to Hrishikesh in North India.
The answer was obviously “no”, but I had little choice. I had to attend to an important assignment that couldn’t wait, and I wasn’t financially sound enough at the time to go for a flight ticket. Then in 1988, it cost Rs. 1250, a huge amount.
Seeing my dilemma, Radhanath Swami suggested that I collect money from my friends—Dhaval, Ajay and others. All of them contributed their best and Mr. Deepak Golani gave the rest—Rs. 500. Many such incidents of mutual help brought the congregation close together. But this in particular remains fresh in memory, for I witnessed Radhanath Swami’s love surpass the love of a father for his child.
He has built this community with his love.
— Dr. Vivekanand Shanbhag.
Radhanath Swami appears to work through “realtions” of the “heart”, as is evident from the accounts of his followers. I am highly impressed with the profound impact his teachings/dealings seem to have on them.
May GOD bless him.
Radhanath Swami Maharaj ki Jai.
Although we all know about the wonderful nature and qualities that Maharaj possesses, I am ever increasingly amazed by his thoughtfulness and love towards EVERYONE, irrespective of age, gender bias. Maharaj ki Jai!

I was moved by this experience with HH Radhanath Swami
In all the busy life of a Spiritual leader with so many world wide responsibilities, the ability to serve others especially the juniors/new comers is a special ability of Radhanath Swami, following in the foot steps of great saintly people.
Radhanth Swami has put so much energy and sacrificed so much to inculcate this in the congregation – love, care and service to one another
Why does this person show so much care, concern all the time,what ticks him to do that these are questions ,I often asked to myself and other who knew him .The explanations were always similar it’s is his nature,these questions actually attract you towards him,Radhanath Swami is a pure soul ,this realization doesn’t take much time ,one look at him or just hearing his words make you want to be in his shelter
HH Radhanath Swami shows real concern towards every one. Truly HH Radhanath Swami is epitome of compassion.
This episode is a perfect example of Radhanath Swami’s kindness, as well as the effect he has on others judged by the instant help Dr. Shanbhag received for the flight ticket. He is really a unifying factor.
Radhanath Swami here exhibits how much love a spiritual personality can posses in his heart, that he can think of the whole world as his own family and think of their troubles and express his concern.
Radhanath Swami Maharaj is everything for us, He is more than a father for us, always caring and concerned, thank you Maharaj. Hare Krsna.
Generally we obeserve that religious people are very strict in terms of their own practices but when it comes to their dealings with others or their attitude or behaviour, they are no different from ordinary people. Radhanath Swami has shown through many such examples how love of God can bring about great transformation in the person’s heart and make him a better human being.
Maharaj had created a very loving community with his love and affection. All glories to you Dear Guru Maharaj
Radhanath Swami Ki Jai
