Rain of God’s Mercy

This material existence is like a burning forest fire. It is burning our hearts. Who would not say that their hearts are burning due to the anxieties of material life? All our attempts for relief and happiness in this world are consumed by this burning blazing fire. All of our successes and all of our incredible accomplishments are ultimately evaporated by the sun of material existence. Therefore, it’s a very difficult situation and people are suffering. The devotees are just waiting, praying, when God will come into their lives and relieve them of the pains and sufferings of this existence.

Therefore, after long, long stretch of being burnt by the sun and the forest fire of material existence, when beautiful blackish rain clouds come, we feel great hope, we feel refuge, sheltered. The blackness in the rain clouds is the presence of rain, the rain of God’s mercy. That rain is the nourishing, life giving mercy that relieves us from the the heat of the sun and gives nourishment to all living beings. When God comes, the rains of His mercy fill our lives. Then all wonderful fortune and happiness from within and without are bestowed upon us by His divine mercy.

- Radhanath Swami

I could see how this statement holds so true. In Denver colorado last week temperature went above 100F. Everyone was burning and fortunately there was rain for two days after that and the heat setteled down. But as Radhanath Swami rightely points out our hearts and still burning and thats to Radhanath Swami for giving hope that if we become God conscious we’ll be happy in true sense.

Radhanath Swami Articles

Radhanath swami

The articles on this site are based on the classes given by Radhanath Swami over the years.


Radhanath Swami is a source of inspiration for several projects, both in India and outside of it. Radhanath Swami is also a great source of inspiration for several thousands of people aspiring to seek spiritual enlightenment in the line of bhakti yoga. His students come from various walks of life, age groups, castes, races, and nationalities.


In 1970, at the age of 19, Radhanath Swami started his journey of spiritual quest in Europe. While at Greece, a voice within him directed him towards India. Radhanath Swami set off for his destination by hitchhiking. After meeting several people and studying various paths of spiritual enlightenment along the way, he finally reached India. Radhanath Swami’s experiences through the journey enabled him to understand truth from all cultural perspectives. The sufferings and exploitations he endured on this path made Radhanath Swami more determined and focused; it increased his faith and humility. Radhanath Swami’s uncompromising determination to find a guru who could provide answers for his questions made him reach the holy land of Vrndavan, India, the holy place of Radha and Krsna. The deep realizations that Radhanath Swami gained in his travels now reflect in his teachings.


Radhanath Swami learned from many but accepted one guru. Radhanath Swami’s surrender and service to his spiritual master is a great source of inspiration to all his followers. Radhanath Swami’s lectures, kirtans, and yatras sustain the spiritual lives of many. Radhanath Swami’s explanation of complex topics of scriptures and the insight that he provides into apparently confusing philosophical topics is amazing.
