Spiritual teachings: Radhanath Swami at TEDxLondonBusinessSchool

[@laxmikantindur3944]

Born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, Radhanath Swami is one of today’s most beloved and respected spiritual teachers. A Bhakti Yoga practitioner for 40 years, he is a guide, community builder, philanthropist, and acclaimed author. He has been featured as a guest speaker in universities such as Harvard, Princeton and Stanford, and in corporations such as Apple, HSBC, and Microsoft. He has also addressed the House of Commons in 2011 and met with President Obama to discuss inter-faith dialogue in 2012.

Nobody can match Sadhguru

[@huguesbertrand6340]

Jai Prabhupada

[@Zsan-SanPagdilao]

His mere presence and energy captivates the hearts of the audiences. He magnets all attention by talking with very harmonious voice and speaking the real TRUTH.

[@kunalkhanna4138]

Things can give pleasure to the mind and senses, but only love can give pleasure to the heart. And ultimately, that is what we are looking for. - Radhanath Swami

[@prabhupadatruth2931]

This statement is impersonal. Where is Krishna mentioned? Love without Krishna is only lust.

[@Sunshine-ct3zq]

Absolutely

[@kunalkhanna4138]

@norsang lama Haha.. That's not true. That's misinformation. Destruction of demons (cruel people) is required so that people can live peacefully. I have read full Gita and Bhagwatam. No religion asks for violence, it's just people misinterpretation. Foolish to follow the basic instructions wrongly.

[@eriknorberg6154]

I got tears in my eyes when Radhanath was telling the story about the woman who was inflicted with leprosy when she blessed him. The whole talk was compelling and one of the best I've heard. When I listened to his talk I also thought of when my father as a doctor (chief doctor for Save the Children's hospital in Taiz in North Yemen after his job used to go to a clinic where he on a voluntarily basis treated people who got lepra. Once I went together with my twin sister to the clinic and experienced what Radhanath probably was feeling. I went into a big house where people lived on the floor. They had no nose, no fingers where they sat observing me. The smell was indescribable. In this dark room in the house small children played, seemingly not worried about their situation. It was unreal! At the moment I understood how fortunate I (and everyone who is in the same position as I am) I am (was; this was 1969), but how easy it is to forget. I felt surprised that no one was standing up after this remarkable important and eloquently performed speech! Radhanath seems to be a most wonderful man, who has come to a point of realization (awareness) that only a few will experience!

[@kennethkunz2449]

I watched this talk in fascinated admiration and with a deep sense of gratitude to Radhanath Swami for so powerfully sharing on the topic of love. But, uh, then I noticed it was given at a Business School. Everyone will admit, as George Orwell so aptly put it, that all 'business is a swindle.' So I first I thought, 'why did he talk there?' Then I thought, 'what better place to speak of love!'. I hope the business people there took his words to heart!

[@vivekk8083]

You should read his book ,journey back home

[@tamararadulovic3949]

I don t know why he is of Jewish origin maybe we ask him

[@Facadeghimire1302]

True friend never leave if they are drowning them selves also they will help the other one and save their friend life. Finding a true friend is very difficult in this world. 🙏

"Count the number of things you have that money cannot buy and that's really how rich you are" - Beautiful, simple and powerful.

[@Mark1Mach2]

Such insightful phrase.

[@richardconner15]

His whole demeanor radiates peace,humility&grace.His book shows how much effort is NECESSARY for any spiritual progress to manifest. His meeting guru,s great&not so great, indicates how,like a magnet you can attract a teacher who can give you a greater insight,especially his meeting with NEEM KAROLI BABA,who gave him the RAMA KRISHNA MANTRA,that helps one to grow inward.

Thanks swami ji for showing the greatness of Hinduism to world. Hinduism is synonymous with Universalism not associated to any particular community or country..

[@onx4742]

Hinduism is best way of living your life and it is close to concept to GOD.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@manojdevi4465]

Today's world very much needs such spiritual leaders to enlighten world with true knowledge. Then, only there can be peace, harmony and happiness in this world. Without understanding the meaning and purpose of life, we will continue to act imperfectly that'd harm ourselves and others. Thank you so much for spiritual teachings! True spirituality is meant to develop service attitude, not to exploit and cheat people.

[@fragitude]

That was a great video. His understanding of reality really resonates with me as ultimate truth. Unconditional love is a powerful force.

[@bpalpha]

Now if we could only show it to one another...unconditional love.

[@intheNOWme2]

I am so thankful for the gently taught love lesson...Namaste.

[@rpremkumar1958]

Listening to this Swami, I get his words straight from his heart and straight into mine.

[@bepassionate3247]

Any one observed the silence in audience. Really marvelous speech. I want to thank our forefathers for preserving our culture and spirituality, even so many hurdles. I don't know what this generation will do.

[@bkmukuljoshi]

Wonderful realizations on science of consciousness. "People love people and people use things" vs "People use people and people love things".

[@akhandbharat377]

+Aiyana Holand god does not need your love.its humans which need to be loved.

[@ashishvaswani5921]

Aiyana Holand when love for good is developed... love for humans is automatically developed

[@user-yv3mx2hl1l]

If you have never had any awakening experiences, you might think this talk is about how our morals and thinking patterns have changed over the years. This is just the result of your state of consciousness though. What do I mean? Begin your own search, bring interest in this topic in your life right now, it's basically showing you that everything you thought you knew and what you are as a person has nothing to do with your true self. It will bring so much more into your life I'm not even crazy or strange but it's true

[@jesus3373]

So much love and compassion. Shedding a few tears myself after that. As it happens, I'm reading Radhanath Swami's autobiography, 'The Journey Home'.

[@gyaneshsingh6012]

This is very heart touching book

[@richardseverson4992]

I have listened to many over the years but This man is so good perhaps the best ! sincerety is the difference

[@LakshyaSharma]

Spirituality is need of every soul in the world. People like Radhanath Swami are trying to connect people to realm of happiness and love. The teachings shared by Swami are actually the nature of eternal soul - Knowledge and Bliss.Thanks TEDx for giving platform for such enlightening talks.

[@healthpundit]

" We are caretakers of Divine Property" I love that! ❤

[@tomelectronics3215]

+Prabhupada Das no Prabhu ji he is not

[@prabhupadatruth2931]

+Saroj Kumar just look up in google type: Radhanath swami murder.. And you will see many websites that will give you the facts what happened in New Vrindavan and this man's involvement in the murders when he was a leader there. And that is just one thing...

[@nila5421]

Prabhupada Das You're actually wrong about this. This is what happens when people get all their information from the internet. People can say anything on the internet.

[@hiteshrathor5011]

+Prabhupada TRUTH this is to defame sanatan dharm , some people dnt want good teachings to prevail over bad things in this world .

[@chandraveergurjar8005]

He speaks exactly what is relevant to the audience. i have heard his talks at various places like Google, HSBC, Parliament, Bombay Stock Exchange, etc but he makes the message very apt and clear to people. His profound teachings and realizations are recorded in his latest book - The Journey Within (NYT Best Seller). Must for seekers of truth and love in this mortal world. I still cherish the time when i once attended his talk to youths of IITs/NITs at Mumbai.

[@YasAnkit]

Perfect Vaisnava. He is a perfect guide in Bhakti yoga. New book is released Journey Within. First quality of vaisnava is he/she doesn't criticize anybody. some people out of envy try to criticize any vaisnava that will create an offense will destroy all and krishna will never forgive you. srila prabhupad said if you love me then you should cooperate to expand this movement and preach with compassion to save fallen souls. and that HH Radhanath swami is doing perfectly. Thanks for enlightening speech.

[@opanpro9772]

Ankit Lohar Prabhupada was a cultist.

[@YasAnkit]

No. you don't have proper knowledge about the compassion of Acharyas. first you should understand this. don't simply blindly criticize Great souls.

[@YasAnkit]

It is not a cult. it is an ancient culture and ancient spiritual wisdom. which is being practicised in India by so many devotee. Prabhupad opened it for western people.

[@opanpro9772]

Ankit Lohar ISKCON is brainwashing people starting from their childhood.

[@YasAnkit]

opan pro yes. ISKCON brainwash all the materialistic tendency you have acquired from association with matter. And they will make you purified so you can be eligible to GO back Home back to Godhead. So we have wash dirty things from our heart of lust, anger and greed. So that is very important for spiritual progress.

[@vrindavantodayofficial]

I have not been a big fan of Radhanath Swami, but I have to admit, he is a great story teller. He holds his audience.

[@Phaneendra94]

Very inspirational and thought provoking speech. One of the best Ted speeches I've so far. I am so glad that I found this one.

[@VibeSphere-007]

Whenever I listen to Swamiji I realize inner peace. Somehow I find peace in this disturbing and chaotic world.

[@guruprasadc.bharadwaj8085]

Good presentation of Universal Truth ! Inspiring talk by an experienced Krishna Yogi - inherited Krishna Consciousness, awakening Present Generation everywhere !! Swamis like him are required more in India to deal with Skeptics, Politicians with Pseudo Secular outlook, 'Saffron biters', and fault finders of every thing Ancient / Indian !!! I wish to be in touch with the Swami Radhanath, and Pray Lord Krishna for all success of his Devoted Mission .

[@lakshyasharma8755]

[@luvtocmoon]

+John Brown that is a false statement , be careful what you say, you could end up with a slander suit. He is not a child molester. I don't know where you received your information.

[@parasu108]

what a disgraceful accusation, when you attack a mans character out of hate an envy like this you water your own cancers.

[@braveheart3847]

that's what the so called powerful organizations called "The Ch0rch" in the west & "The Mocca" in the east do. if something/someone is a threat to those two powerful organizations , they threw dirt on them and portray them to the world as something as disgusting as "rapists/molesters/or may be in future even beastality....no surprises.

[@nickpalliser9590]

John Brown . . . Exactly. Richard Slavin has a nefarious past with the ISKCON organisation and children and his involvement in the death of Prabhupada in 1977. If anyone doubts this then do some research. The truth is the best defense

[@PremanjanaDas]

Very Inspirational and enlightening message. As for the critic who doesnt have any tangible substance(except their own perceptions....) have to say following: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; . . . who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.”-Theodore Roosevelt Until the critic themselves are in arena, I do not care about what they say.

True, West is very much intellectually driven, very mechanical. Forming bonds here, even with family and neighbors seems tough.
