Radhanath Swami on Devotion to God

Radhanath Swami on Devotion to GodIf God gave you what you wanted, you probably wouldn’t grow much at all, because devotion to God is not about getting, it is about seeking shelter. When you seek shelter, when you give up hope of anything else, you get God.

  1. Generally we have a tendency to take things for granted if we get them easily. Hence Lord holds it back so that we will learn to value it. Here Maharaj is telling us how important it is to take shelter of the Lord – feeling very helpless and hopeless.

  5. We just don’t know what is good for us… this article is very deep and profound… love it

  13. Radhanath Swami Maharaj is emphasising the importance of taking shelter rather than asking Lord for something….

  17. Thank you Radhanath Swami for sharing your wonderful realization & explaining precisely what true devotion to God actually means.

  18. Lesson which you truly imbibed in your life as I can experience after reading your book, the basis of unmotivated unconditional devotional service.

  21. Thank you Radhanath Swami for redefining the most fundamental premise on which we base our life.

  23. So true. Before coming to Krsna Consciousness I was dealing GOD like a businessman. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada who gave us the true wisdom.

  24. Radhanath swami teaches us altimate shelter is GOD by which we can achive real love,detachment & ultimate perfection.

  25. Very true.Bhakti is not for seeking some material profit but to take shelter of our beloved Father Sri Krishna.

  29. It is so difficult for us conditioned souls to not ask God for something, but it is true that we need to work towards being surrendered and totally dependent on Krishna for everything. Thank you so much Swamiji.

  32. Radhanath Swami is giving hope and telling me what I can get when everything else will be taken away – Love of God – if I take shelter of God in that situation.. Thanks for sharing.

  34. HH Radhanath Swami vide this quote calls for selfless and helpless prayers to God which are the real prayers.

  36. This is such a wonderful soul-stirring realization by Radhanath Swami. Thank you very much Maharaj for sharing with all of us.

  38. Thank you maharaj for inspiring us to take shelter at the lotusfeet of the lord.
    Thank you very much.
