Radhanath Swami Speaks on Social Problems

If we leave the kitchen in a mess, then we are actually sending an invitation to the cockroaches to come. In those dirty places, in that environment, they not only thrive but they multiply. So our society, if it’s an environment where moral principles are neglected, if it’s an environment filled with the filth of all kinds of immoral, irreligious activities—then the cockroaches of demoniac mentality of greed and envy, of anger and pride, of terrorism, of dictatorship, of criminality—they thrive, they multiply and they flourish.

  1. Veri nice analogy and so true. Radhanath swami is a very intelligent and amazing personality.

  2. There is a saying that “Cleanliness is nex to Godliness” and the eternel cleanliness is to cleanse the mind and the heart with the Holy Names. Thank you Radhanath Swami for reminding us of this.

  3. A amazing analogy is being given by Radhanath Swami illustrating the need to keep our society morally ‘clean’.

  4. Thank you Radhanath Swami for accurately pinpointing the reasons for lack of morals in society today.

  5. This is the most perfect analysis of the problems that confront us externally as well as internally. Amazing analogy! Thank you Radhanath Swami

  6. What Radhanath Swami has said is so very true. If we have a tendency to keep our minds dirty, more and more dirt and lives which trhirve on such dirt will accumulate. Therefore we need to clean it by the process of chanting of the Holynames.

  7. Radhanath Swami has vividly described the reasons for social problems. These problems manifest because of the filth of enmity, hatred which is filled in people’s hearts.

  8. Everyone contributes to the environment around….I can contribute / add to the mess or to the cleanliness….charity begins at home. Thank ou Radhanath Swami Maharaj for spreading the pure environment of Krishna consciousness.

  9. Thanks for making us understand the cause of current state affairs with such a simple example.

  10. Radhanath Maharaj gives the correct insight of the cause of current mess in the todays world.

  11. HH Radhanath Swami is very clear in his thoughts. To thwart the external enemies we need to be very disciplined internally and ready for any attack from outside.

  12. This is a very nice analysis by Radhanath Swami regarding the actual cause of degradation in the society.

  13. This is so true and we all are experiencing this to different extent in our daily lives.

  14. So nicely put by Radhanath Swami. Today we are in a culture where we have lost intelligence!

    Its great to be animalistic and do what ever comes to the mind, rather then be sober and thoughtful to see where will we end up if we go this path…

    No principles…mind is filthiest as possible…result is seen in society…then we wonder …why? why such horrible things are going on?

  15. Thank you maharaj for this grim reminder of the dangers posed by modern day “Free” society which throws all morality to the wind in the name of “progressive freedom”.

  16. Absolutly righ.We are experiencing in our daily life the very said thing by Radhanath Swami.And yes kali-yuga is advancing in a very fast pace than what we were expecting.Our leaders are going to take us to hell if we dont follow the advice of saintly persons like Radhanath Maharaj to uplift our conciousness and get out of this world.

  17. Very true! Depicts the current state of affairs very accurately. The ghastly killing of an honest IAS officer is testimony.

  18. Powerful quote Maharaj !! No wonder Kali is degrading at a pace faster than we thought. Such quotes help us take shelter of the Holy Names!!
