Stories from Radhagopinath Community of Love
Once Radhanath Swami told me that I wear dhoti and kurta, traditional Vedic attire, for temple festivals. A casual suggestion from his side, it felt like a golden opportunity from my perspective. Here was a chance to please him, to reciprocate with the shower of his selfless affection. I adapted myself to the new wears.
Later, I discovered that all my friends had a similar dhoti-kurta story.
I mulled over it. Most aspects of Vedic culture are too alien in the modern context. Though they might appeal to the intellect, to adapt to any of them is hard without the motivating factors of inspiration and love.
