Radhanath Swami On ‘Forgetfulness of Love of Godhead’

47 forgetfullness Love for godhead

“Love of God is dormant in everyone’s heart, but we have forgotten it. All problems and conflicts in the world are due to this forgetfulness.” – Radhanath Swami

Our minds and senses have become so externalized that the treasure of love for/of God within our hearts has been forgotten.

If we forget something that we have, it is as good as not having it. If we have millions of rupees in our bank account but have forgotten about it, then it is as good as not having it with the result that we might have to sleep on streets like poor people although that money belongs to us.

However, there’s a way to overcome such forgetfulness of our love for/of God. By associating with holy people, by chanting God’s name, by living a humble and grateful life, our love for God is re-awakened in our hearts. When this love for God re-awakens in our hearts, then the quality of compassion awakens and we want to share that love of God with others. Compassion is the natural by-product of love for/ of God.

  1. True spiritual leaders like Radhanath Swami are expert in diagnosing the problem and even curing it.

  4. Beautiful article by Radhanath swami. I Pray and hope to emulate these nectarine instructions of the SWAMI…

  6. Very nice article to over come all our problems. All glories to HH Radhanatha Swami Maharaja.

  9. This is very interesting article. Forgetfulness is the cause of everything. This is the reason people condemn or criticize the God. If our society develops as God centric, then where is the question of discrimination or hatred for others.

    Very short but meaningful article. Thank you for this post!

  13. HH Radhanath Swami nicely explains our real problem is the forgetgulness of God.

  15. Nicely explained the result of forgetfulness and how to re awaken one’s love of Godhead.

  17. Thank you Maharaj for your divine words only due to which we are able to remember and revive our eternal relationship with God.

  18. “If we want to call out for the mercy and witness the unlimited glory of God, we have to be humble. This way we can progress in life.” Thank you very much for this nice advice.

  20. Radhanath Swami’s example about being a millionaire but forgetting that goes straight to the heart.

  22. Dear Guru Maharaj….your every word is a direction in my life and so is this article.

  26. if we chant the name with humility and sincerity our dormant krsna consciousness will be awaken

  27. Radhanath Swami has not only explained the cause of our suffering (forgetfulness of our relationship with Krishna) but has also explained the way in which we can get out of this problem (sincerely and humbly calling out for Krishna’s holy names in association of His devotees). True spiritual leaders like Radhanath Swami are expert in diagnosing the problem and even curing it.

  31. Radhanath Swami’s thoughts on this subject is an eye opener. Most of us think that Love of God is a gift to only a chosen few and it is absolutely okay if most of us do our family and professional duties properly. Only the people in the renounced order of life need to perform activities regarding spiritual matters.

  36. Thank you for reminding us about our real problem – forgetfulness of God.

  37. Very nice explanation of real caus eof our problems – forgetfulness of our eternal relationship with the Lord
