    Great souls like Radhanath Swami always see the intention and the desire to serve but not the result or how much has been accomplished. Due to this genuine concern for people over accomplishments he has today been able to pioneer and implement so many mind boggling projects which are running successfully like Bhaktivedanta Hospital, Hospice, Gopals Garden High School, and many others. Radhanath Swami ki jai.
