Radhanath Swami’s Article on Experiencing Spirituality

Theory without experience and realization is useless. I was speaking recently to a prestigious man having two PhDs from Cornell University.He said that the difference between material science and spiritual science is this: In material sciences the best that anyone ever comes up with is some intellectual proof of a theory. But no experience of this truth beyond intellectualization. Just like we can prove that if we mix hydrogen with oxygen in different parts we get water. But until we drink that water what is the use? An intellectual understanding is not enough; we have to drink it. Where as in spiritual science you can have direct perception and experience at all times.

By experiencing and realizing the truths within us and God within us, and sharing that with the world and finding joy in that, we can make a true and glorious contribution to the society. Let us build the foundation of our career on truth—the spiritual science of purification of our consciousness and the awareness of our relationship with God.

  1. Thank you Maharajah for these insights.By only your mercy we could experience spirital science.

  2. Thanku very much maharaj for aspiring us in our spiritual path by writing such wonderful articles.

  3. this practical realization is so very true and important. But at the same time we need to see what are the real symptoms of that advancement. certainly one can feel them in heart but many of the symptoms may not to be palatable to mind, at the same time they are blissful to heart.

  4. This article gives us all the real meaning of contribution to society and how to do it. Just materialistic studies will not suffice.

  5. Well!!! it is quite true that there is a big difference between Spritual N Material science and that one can see it clearly as the theories of material science keep changing as time goes by n therefore its called temporary on the otherhand spritual science withstands the test of time.

  6. Experiencing spirituality is difficult and also easy process. As one needs to just quieten the mind and the demands of te mind which lead to muffling of the sounds of teh supersoul and soul. one must just hear the voice of the soul and then we can experience true spirituality. thank you Radhanath Maharaj fro showing us the way.

  7. Experiencing spriituality and awareness of the presence of God in ourlives is although difficult but also easy process. one just needs to quieten the sounds from within whcih muffles the sound of the supersoul and soul. then one fine day one can truly experience true spirituality. i am waiing for the day. thnk you Radhanath swami. thank u very much.

  8. Material science, howsoever advanced, falls way short in coming-up with answers to all our queries. I thank Radhanath Swami for enlightening me with an eagerness to look-up at the spiritual aspect of all phenomenon, and thus arrive at a more complete understanding of things which is in tune with the intent of GOD.

  9. It was very wonderful to read from Radhanath maharaj’s lectures,it gives wisdom about vedic knowlege & practicle application for the present age.

  10. It is wonderful to read about maharaj, to listen to or read his teachings, and further beautiful to implement those teachings in one’s life. All those who are in his association, by any means, are blessed ones

  11. Radhanath Swami in his lectures always speaks about ” Unity is Strength”. He gives a real example that when devotees asked Prabhupada how they can please him then Prabhupada used to say ” you can show your love to me only by how you are cooperating with one another”. I will never forget this in my life.

  12. This reminds me of Radhanath Swami’s class where he mentions about the root of the word Education. Radhanath Swami said the word education comes from the Greek word Ekducuri which means to inquire about God and his kingdom. Although people try to discover which is already there under material science, they only find about it that too is something which is of not much use in this temporary world. one needs to understand this world is not the real place to live focus on the real goal and thats something Radhanath Swami being an expert can certainly assist you with

  13. In these day where mostly educated people feel Spirituality is just sentiments or beliefs and not a science – is leading to exponential decrease in social values and quality of living. Its a life of constant anxiety, exploitation and assumed/advertised happiness in externality.

    The example Radhanath Swami is providing to experience Spirituality for so many thousands is a great contribution to the World. Something that will be recorded as saving man kind in its greatest hour of need!

  14. maharaj’s realizations are beautiful,and when he shares he makes them more beautiful

  15. Radhanath Swami’s article is a truly inspiring piece and a refreshing thought in today’s world where the pursuit of material wealth and happiness have taken people astray from spirituality and the true purposes of life.

  16. By hearing Maharaj’s lectures I experienced spirituality. Thank U Maharaj.

  17. HH Radhanath Swami shares his experience with others in a way that actually make one feels that one is having association of the Divine Lord transcending the limits of time and space. His one of the most important qualities which I have observed is that he tries to bring people close to one another and unite them in spirit of service to Lord

  18. For the first time in my life, I joined a small gathering of around 70 people in Pittsburgh, USA where Radhanath Swami is giving a lecture. He is so simple sitting on the same floor where all the other 70 people were sitting. Every one is very attentive to listen as I was too. Radhanath Swami shared some of his past times with His Guru. Before concluding the lecture Radhanath Swami chanted the Maha Mantra – it was so mellodious, I couldn’t forget even after 8 years of hearing it from His mouth. Later, I started joining similar gatherings to learn more about spirituality and coming closer to his association directly or indirectly. Thank you Radhanath Swami for the nector.

  19. Radhanath Swami has truly experienced spirituality. This article is just a glimpse of it. I also came across his intriguing autobiography – It is a masterpiece, which would be appreciated by any sincere spiritual seeker. “The Journey Home”.

  20. Really thanks to Radhanath Maharaj to share His real life experience and consciousness, so we get inpired by him

  21. It is indeed worthy of contemplation – building the foundation of our career on TRUTH – spiritual science. Truly thought provoking….

  22. As his holiness Radhanath Maharaj’s disciple, I can surely tell you that he actually spoonfeeds us so that we experience the truth ourselves in our lives.
    I am really fortunate to have him as my spiritual master.
