Two Mothers, Eternally
Stories from Radhagopinath Community of Love
My daughter passed away afflicted by a disease when she was only in her teens. Trauma gnawed at me relentlessly. At this hour of need, Shyamala Gopi provided solace simply by her presence: being of the same age as my departed daughter, she felt like a daughter to my heart. Seeing my resiliency in her association, her parents, members of our congregation, encouraged her to stay at our house in Poona. During that time Radhanath Swami visited us and spoke words that my subconscious self perhaps yearned to hear. “Shymala Gopi is your daughter now, so don’t feel lonely”.
Circumstantially I had to shift to Mumbai. Shyamala came along; she risked her comfort for mine. “Rita and her husband Bimal have been very kind to me. They have encouraged their daughter to stay with me so that I don’t feel lonely,” I worded the gratitude I felt before Radhanath Swami. A quick wave of satisfaction swept across his face before an intense expression took over. It looked like he had a serious point to put across. “This is what I want in the congregation. Each one should feel so much in the heart for the other,” he spoke in a hushed tone. Then with a radiant smile expanding across his face, he turned to Shyamala. “Remember. Eternally you have two mothers.”

The Radhagopinath Community is something all need to experience, the thoughts it stirs up in our polluted minds is –What is their interest in being so caring?
But frankly when one observes at close quarters it becomes crystal clear, Radhanath Swami and his followers are genuinely concerned, to care for one and all is natural for them, such is the exemplary service they carry out. Though the above expressed reality is a situation which could soak one in sorrow and depression for the rest of one’s life being under the shelter and association of Radhagopinath Community is nothing but mercy coming through the lord. We are grateful to you for sharing this reinforcing fact.
Radhanath Swami’s words have a healing effect which dispells greatest grief. A classic incident in which he displays his love and care for everyone.
Radhanath Swami has built a very loving family of devotees at Sri Sri Radha Gopinath temple……all credit to him
Radhanath Swami Maharaj has created a community of Love. This just goes on to show how they care for each other in the community.
Touchy..How can a renounced person be so loving and kind? Amazing, its only possible when sharing GOD’s love.
Once Radhanath Swami said ” The marble doesn’t make a temple, but devotees. So he always invest his love in devotees …
Thank you for sharing.
I am in tears reading this amazing story how Radhanath swami has built this wonderful community – Radha Gopinath
Thank you very much for sharing. H.H.Radhanath Swami Maharaj shows by this how the relationships should be between the devotees.
Thank you for sharing this touching incident.
Thank you very much Mataji for sharing such heart touching experience which teaches us a great lesson in our life .. HH Radhanath Maharaj ki jaiii
Thank you for sharing this. Experiences of devotees help us understand the mood of Radha Gopinath community. It encourages us to follow in the footsteps of such wonderful devotees
very touching,i think this makes sri sri radhagpinath temple and maharaj a class apart
Thanks for sharing such a touchy experience which glorifies the loving and caring mood of Radhanath Swami Maharaj and Radha Gopinath community. Modern world is built on the pillars of envy and pride where every one is insecure. Maharaj built a community of Love and Compassion where the whole world can take shelter.
Thank you Maharaj for teaching how a community or congregation should be.
Radhanath Swami has cultivated the RadhaGopinath temple congregation in such an idealistic manner & created such a strong bond of love that whenever one goes through some very tragic moment in life, not only do the other members share the tragedy as if its their own, but they also go inconceivable lengths to support the affected person physically, emotionally & otherwise.
I liked that “Each one should feel so much in the heart for the other”.. Thank You Radhanath Swami :)
this is really very touching. real feeling of selfless sacrifice with love comes where radhanath swami is there.. radhanath maharaj ki jai…..
Wow beautiful. I wish that everyone would strie for such loving relationships!
Radhanath swami teaches there is no one is alone. In spiritual life we have all as we are belong to one family, Vasudeva Kutumbham. By the mercy of Radhanath Swami, no one will feel alone. Thank you very much.
jay!!
I have never heard such practical expressions of love anywhere else. Radhanath Swami Maharaja is inculcating such qualities in his followers, that anyone in their association feels as if they are in hte kingdom of God where there is no envy, but ONLY love.
The love that congregation members have for each other is very deep, as can be seen from this instance. I am amazed by the wonderful qualities Radhanath Swami that can inculcate such deep love amongst followers.
This core love of devotees for each other; we are learning so much for such pastimes being shared by these wonderful devotees, who learnt so much from Radhanath Swami Maharaj. Thank you Mataji!
Very heart touching. If we can follow spiritually advanced souls like Radhanath Swami Maharaj, the entire socity will be filled with loving exchanges among people. Thank you very much mathaji for sharing this.
