Radhanath Swami on Fear

The controlling factor of the entire material existence is fear. Why? Where there is lust, there is fear. Kama, material desire, is like the other side of the coin with fear. We cannot have one side of the coin without the other. We may like the one side and not like the other, but if we take one, the other comes. That is a fact. As long as we have these selfish desires based on the bodily conception of life, we are plagued with imminent fear. Therefore the whole world is fearful of death and suffering, for themselves and for others. But simply by remembering Krishna one time with true devotion, fear disappears; it cannot stand before Krishna.

  1. Well said Vrushali. Krishna is feared by even fear personified. “Yad Bibheti svayam bhayam”. Whatever Radhanath Swami says is very authentic and has scriptural evidence.

  2. Fear cannot stand in front of Krishna, So we need to take shelter and surrender to Krishna! Thank you!

  3. Thank you Radhanath swami for encouraging us to chant the holy names with true devotion in order to overcome the fear created by lust.

  4. This is really very important. Thank you very much Radhanath Swami for this wonderful thought. Desires are really takes one to the platform of fear: Fear to loose , fear to maintain all arises due to these desires seperate from god

  5. Thank u very much for explaining on this subtle point fear which causes due to selfish desires.

  6. Radhanath Swami Maharaj is explaining wonderfully the root cause of our fear is Kama i.e. the selfish desire based on the bodily conception of life to enjoy separate from God. Thanks Maharaj.

  7. Fear is prominent everywhere in material world. But as told by Maharaj if we follow devotional life in prescribed way (Guru, Sadhu and Shastra) principle we can drive away this material fear….

  8. Many a times fear has plagued my life and decisions taken during that phase have resulted in erroneous acts. Thank you Maharaj for reminding us to take the shelter of the Lord!! Hare Krishna !!

  9. In this entry Radhanath Swami has given us nature of our desease and a cure also.Thank you very much.

  10. After contemplating on the above statement surrender towards Krishna should increase as surrendering to maya will lead only fear.

  11. H.H Radhanath Swami Maharaj has nicely explained the cause of fear and how to overcome the same. Simply by remembering Krishna one time with true devotion, fear disappears and the fear cannot stand before Krishna. How true is this? Thank you very much Maharaj.

  12. Beautiful analogy of two sides of the coin to material desires and fear. All glories to HH Radhnath Swami!

  13. Nice message and encouragement from Radhanath Swami. It’s natural to be fearless if we have taken the shelter of the Lord. It’s just like a little baby taking shelter of her parents.

  14. Thank you very much for sharing the words of Radhanath Swami “Simply by remembering Krishna one time with true devotion, fear disappears; it cannot stand before Krishna.”

  15. Very true… This remind me of a bhajan that heard… Bhajahu re mann sri nand nandan Abhaya vharnar vinda re…

    Thank you Radhanath Swami for this pearl of wisdom.

  16. From the moment we obtain something immediately fear of losing it finds place in our heart.

  17. Radhanath Swami through so many projects is giving us an opportunity to serve Krsna keep krsna in the centre and if take advantage we will certainly be able to become more and more selfless and overcome the anarthas which are obstacles on the path of devotional service

  18. Implies, kama or material desires also disappear. This is the amazing potential of the holy name. I pray to Radhanath Swami Maharaj to also give us the power to remember Krishna with true devotion.

  19. Very powerful message from Maharajah. With material desire fear must come and the only way to be fearless is to desire to please Krishna.
    Maharajah please bless us so we have this genuine and sincere desire to please Krishna.

  20. Indeed if we can get the divine association of saintly people like Radhanath Swami, then it becomes very easy to overcome all material fear & anxieties.
