- Radhanath Swami has been a Bhakti Yoga practitioner for more than 40 years, and is one of today's most beloved and respected spiritual teachers. He is a guide, community builder, activist, and acclaimed author. Rooted in his study of ancient India's mystic devotional, Radhanath's message is simple: by cultivating a genuine practice of service, we can become instruments of compassion and agents of sustainable change in the world. Born into a Jewish family in Chicago, his journey began when he was 19 when he set off to hitchhike across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. In India he studied some of the foremost spiritual and yoga masters before returning to the West to share his gifts of wisdom. Today Radhanath is the founder and coordinator of multiple spiritual talks around the world. His work includes support for missionary hospitals, orphanages, schools and emergency relief programmes.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Things can give pleasure to the mind and senses, but only love can give pleasure to the heart. And ultimately, that is what we are looking for. - Radhanath Swami
This statement is impersonal. Where is Krishna mentioned? Love without Krishna is only lust.
Absolutely
@norsang lama Haha.. That's not true. That's misinformation. Destruction of demons (cruel people) is required so that people can live peacefully. I have read full Gita and Bhagwatam. No religion asks for violence, it's just people misinterpretation. Foolish to follow the basic instructions wrongly.
I watched this talk in fascinated admiration and with a deep sense of gratitude to Radhanath Swami for so powerfully sharing on the topic of love. But, uh, then I noticed it was given at a Business School. Everyone will admit, as George Orwell so aptly put it, that all 'business is a swindle.' So I first I thought, 'why did he talk there?' Then I thought, 'what better place to speak of love!'. I hope the business people there took his words to heart!
You should read his book ,journey back home
I don t know why he is of Jewish origin maybe we ask him
I got tears in my eyes when Radhanath was telling the story about the woman who was inflicted with leprosy when she blessed him. The whole talk was compelling and one of the best I've heard.
When I listened to his talk I also thought of when my father as a doctor (chief doctor for Save the Children's hospital in Taiz in North Yemen after his job used to go to a clinic where he on a voluntarily basis treated people who got lepra. Once I went together with my twin sister to the clinic and experienced what Radhanath probably was feeling. I went into a big house where people lived on the floor. They had no nose, no fingers where they sat observing me. The smell was indescribable. In this dark room in the house small children played, seemingly not worried about their situation. It was unreal!
At the moment I understood how fortunate I (and everyone who is in the same position as I am) I am (was; this was 1969), but how easy it is to forget.
I felt surprised that no one was standing up after this remarkable important and eloquently performed speech!
Radhanath seems to be a most wonderful man, who has come to a point of realization (awareness) that only a few will experience!
Listening to this Swami, I get his words straight from his heart and straight into mine.
His mere presence and energy captivates the hearts of the audiences. He magnets all attention by talking with very harmonious voice and speaking the real TRUTH.
I have listened to many over the years but This man is so good perhaps the best ! sincerety is the difference
Hare Krishna

Jai Prabhupada jai Prabhupada jai Prabhupada Jai Prabhupada.
Born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, Radhanath Swami is one of today’s most beloved and respected spiritual teachers. A Bhakti Yoga practitioner for 40 years, he is a guide, community builder, philanthropist, and acclaimed author.
He has been featured as a guest speaker in universities such as Harvard, Princeton and Stanford, and in corporations such as Apple, HSBC, and Microsoft. He has also addressed the House of Commons in 2011 and met with President Obama to discuss inter-faith dialogue in 2012.
Nobody can match Sadhguru
Jai Prabhupada
Moved to tears I must say.Simple and elegant.

Today's world very much needs such spiritual leaders to enlighten world with true knowledge. Then, only there can be peace, harmony and happiness in this world.
Without understanding the meaning and purpose of life, we will continue to act imperfectly that'd harm ourselves and others.
Thank you so much for spiritual teachings!
True spirituality is meant to develop service attitude, not to exploit and cheat people.
His whole demeanor radiates peace,humility&grace.His book shows how much effort is NECESSARY for any spiritual progress to manifest.
His meeting guru,s great¬ so great, indicates how,like a magnet you can attract a teacher who can give you a greater insight,especially his meeting with NEEM KAROLI BABA,who gave him the RAMA KRISHNA MANTRA,that helps one to grow inward.
" We are caretakers of Divine Property" I love that! ❤
That was a great video. His understanding of reality really resonates with me as ultimate truth. Unconditional love is a powerful force.
Now if we could only show it to one another...unconditional love.
Hari Bol to the greatest person ever on Earth.... Jai Srila Prabhupada!!!
The power of his yoga and silence is reflected in his soothing voice
I spel bound and surrender my self Tu swamiji
Wonderful realizations on science of consciousness.
"People love people and people use things" vs "People use people and people love things".
+Aiyana Holand god does not need your love.its humans which need to be loved.
Aiyana Holand when love for good is developed... love for humans is automatically developed
If you have never had any awakening experiences, you might think this talk is about how our morals and thinking patterns have changed over the years. This is just the result of your state of consciousness though. What do I mean? Begin your own search, bring interest in this topic in your life right now, it's basically showing you that everything you thought you knew and what you are as a person has nothing to do with your true self.
It will bring so much more into your life I'm not even crazy or strange but it's true
Hare Krishna. Thank you so much 🙏
"Count the number of things you have that money cannot buy and that's really how rich you are" - Beautiful, simple and powerful.
Such insightful phrase.
So much love and compassion. Shedding a few tears myself after that. As it happens, I'm reading Radhanath Swami's autobiography, 'The Journey Home'.
This is very heart touching book
I am so thankful for the gently taught love lesson...Namaste.
Zoe: were you f**king high when you watched this:-)
you are just a child to understand all these... grow up first....hehe
Lovely voice.🧡and smile like Srila Prabhupada
Thanks swami ji for showing the greatness of Hinduism to world. Hinduism is synonymous with Universalism not associated to any particular community or country..
😭😭😭 so moving
This person is authentic 24\7 living what he speaks a true rare soul
Hinduism is best way of living your life and it is close to concept to GOD.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
All glories to Guru and Gairanga🙌
wat a beautiful man .......great insight.
Lmao "wat"
Ridiculous
Hare Krishna..
Any one observed the silence in audience. Really marvelous speech. I want to thank our forefathers for preserving our culture and spirituality, even so many hurdles.
I don't know what this generation will do.
We do not see the world as it is but as we are!
Gaurav Bajpeyee Maybe you should be everybody then so you can see the world as it is and help fix it.
So so so deep and nice, om sri sri
This kind of talk can soften even the hardest heart.
Vidya Babla ॐ शांति
Om Shantir-bhavatu. May you have peace.
Nature is giving humanity a very crucial lesson- our real strength is in our willingness to care for and support each other.
Malathi Santosh true
He speaks exactly what is relevant to the audience. i have heard his talks at various places like Google, HSBC, Parliament, Bombay Stock Exchange, etc but he makes the message very apt and clear to people. His profound teachings and realizations are recorded in his latest book - The Journey Within (NYT Best Seller). Must for seekers of truth and love in this mortal world.
I still cherish the time when i once attended his talk to youths of IITs/NITs at Mumbai.
Chandraveer Gurjar ॐ शांति
There are wolves among us!!!!
wonderful spiritual talk. I have even read his autobiography 'the journey home'
Yogesh Desai , great, it's great the journey home !!! 🙏
Laxmikant Indur Yes :)
Yogesh Desai Telugu songs
That garbage book is just a self-glorification nonsense
Does his journey mention his involvement in the murder of Sulochana? Why not investigate his background further?
Astonishing personality, the voice of an ancient wisdom culture, all glories to Marharaj.
Google radhanatha swami murder and educate yourself on the true nature of this man. He is a lying snake pretending to be humble and saintly.
+Prabhupada Das no Prabhu ji he is not
+Saroj Kumar just look up in google type: Radhanath swami murder.. And you will see many websites that will give you the facts what happened in New Vrindavan and this man's involvement in the murders when he was a leader there. And that is just one thing...
Prabhupada Das You're actually wrong about this. This is what happens when people get all their information from the internet. People can say anything on the internet.
+Prabhupada TRUTH this is to defame sanatan dharm , some people dnt want good teachings to prevail over bad things in this world .
Spirituality is need of every soul in the world. People like Radhanath Swami are trying to connect people to realm of happiness and love. The teachings shared by Swami are actually the nature of eternal soul - Knowledge and Bliss.Thanks TEDx for giving platform for such enlightening talks.

Loved the part about the redwood trees
AudrieRose Trees in Muir woods are only 100s of years old due to logging in the 1800 and 1900. If you want to see giant redwoods big basin redwood state Park or mariposa Grove.
Hare Krishna
This talk shed light on internal aspects of life which actually shapes our circumstances, situations and state of heart.
Amazing speaker..!!
HARI KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARI HARI KRISHNA.. MANTRA OF KRISHNA
True friend never leave if they are drowning them selves also they will help the other one and save their friend life. Finding a true friend is very difficult in this world. 🙏
this made me cry, i could be a way better human being
All Glories to H.H. Radhanath Swami Maharaj
Yes, when we become aware of of own Divinity we find out we are all connected and loved. Everyone is special and valued. We are One ( Oneness ) Love hearing you speak again. Love and Light noella Oneness Canada Many Blessings
I have not been a big fan of Radhanath Swami, but I have to admit, he is a great story teller. He holds his audience.
Good presentation of Universal Truth ! Inspiring talk by an experienced Krishna Yogi - inherited Krishna Consciousness, awakening Present Generation everywhere !! Swamis like him are required more in India to deal with Skeptics, Politicians with Pseudo Secular outlook, 'Saffron biters', and fault finders of every thing Ancient / Indian !!! I wish to be in touch with the Swami Radhanath, and Pray Lord Krishna for all success of his Devoted Mission .
So practical and wonderfully expressed this may just become the mantra for living my life by
Namaste 😄
Hare krishna
The redwood tree analogy is nothing short of genius.
I thought that was very moving too. I had the fortune of being able to see the sequoias.
If you ever get a chance to visit this Forest it is truly a lifetime event. The Sequoia national Forest also has cabins. Happy trails to you!
Wonderful principles to take home - be a caretaker in this world that we all share and to love unconditionally.
Hare Krishna.. inspiring prabhuji
Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
Very inspirational and thought provoking speech. One of the best Ted speeches I've so far. I am so glad that I found this one.
The talk reveals the true wisdom we should aspire for and live our lives based on such wisdom.
Thanks to Swami for sharing!

I find his speeches v simple and yet v profound!

So inspirational and so true.
Listening to him live and talking in person makes world of difference... Feel blessed one.
So inspirational! Yet very heart felt and touching. Excellent realizations.

Love is GOD. Thanks a lot guru jee. Om Shanti.
Perfect Vaisnava. He is a perfect guide in Bhakti yoga. New book is released Journey Within.
First quality of vaisnava is he/she doesn't criticize anybody. some people out of envy try to criticize any vaisnava that will create an offense will destroy all and krishna will never forgive you.
srila prabhupad said if you love me then you should cooperate to expand this movement and preach with compassion to save fallen souls.
and that HH Radhanath swami is doing perfectly.
Thanks for enlightening speech.
Ankit Lohar Prabhupada was a cultist.
No. you don't have proper knowledge about the compassion of Acharyas. first you should understand this. don't simply blindly criticize Great souls.
It is not a cult. it is an ancient culture and ancient spiritual wisdom. which is being practicised in India by so many devotee. Prabhupad opened it for western people.
Ankit Lohar ISKCON is brainwashing people starting from their childhood.
opan pro yes. ISKCON brainwash all the materialistic tendency you have acquired from association with matter. And they will make you purified so you can be eligible to GO back Home back to Godhead.
So we have wash dirty things from our heart of lust, anger and greed.
So that is very important for spiritual progress.
I love listening to this guy , his sincerity is so palpable .
Wonderful speech! Promoting goodwill and love towards others which is something this planet knows very little about. Thank you!!!
+John Brown that is a false statement , be careful what you say, you could end up with a slander suit. He is not a child molester. I don't know where you received your information.
what a disgraceful accusation, when you attack a mans character out of hate an envy like this you water your own cancers.
that's what the so called powerful organizations called "The Ch0rch" in the west & "The Mocca" in the east do. if something/someone is a threat to those two powerful organizations , they threw dirt on them and portray them to the world as something as disgusting as "rapists/molesters/or may be in future even beastality....no surprises.
John Brown . . . Exactly. Richard Slavin has a nefarious past with the ISKCON organisation and children and his involvement in the death of Prabhupada in 1977. If anyone doubts this then do some research. The truth is the best defense
luvtocmoon . . . Do some research for God's sake. Slavin is a fraud and a poser
Pranam Swami Ji this is a wonderful lesson for us.
Really gives energy to our inner soul
Wow, what a wonderful talk.
jai guru dav
Radhanath Swami is very peaceful and an amazing human being. His words literally sparks light inside you. I am definitely drowning towards Hinduism by listening more and more logical things from him and other enlightened Gurus like him 🙂
very inspiring talk
I've noticed that any Ted Talk with a Yogi or Swani, they always stand in one spot and don't pace. I wonder if that's taught or just an idiosyncrasy of being peaceful.
Find the Ted Talk with Sadhguru. He is pacing.
Too much meditation.
No, when your thoughts are tamed , your body doesn't move much.
@@Killuminati90 Sadhguru can't speak without pressing is mulladhara
It's - SWAMI. Not Swani as you've spelled it. I wonder if that was taught in your school, or just an idiosyncrasy of your Brain!!!
as i travel from middle east toward north America , i felt emotion gradually died and left brain (logic thinking ) grew dramatically, when i saw an old woman dieing in corner of street in Vancouver, Canada , i run to help but someone stopped me and said its police job. well this people are so free that they cant say hi to each other, they are so low vibe that all their behavior is based on fear and judgment. sometimes when i read history i feel human is the most stupid creature on the face of earth, work all his life to have a home .. land is not free in his mind.
True .
Thats why i prefer india ( the place i live , there is so much culture , so much customs , too much family values and societal values )
Asia has a good culture but is poor materialistically but rich in spirituality
@@ghc2009 people are very loving in India but there are a ton of poor people ignored by society in India. Probably more then anywhere else. India must use its rich culture and help each other to better por people's life.
True, West is very much intellectually driven, very mechanical. Forming bonds here, even with family and neighbors seems tough. This is where mingling of cultures is necessary so that we learn from each other. It's great to see people like this swami adopting and spreading the love he learned from other cultures.
Deeply moving speech.
We all have magic inside.Thanks Radhanath Swami
I love to hear from RADHANATH SWAMI
Wonderful lessons!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and your spiritual journey. The story about the leper mother blessing you is so powerful, and for you to witness her true beauty in this moment. Our physical lives are precious and disposable, and yet our true divine light can illuminate our path and remind us that our main purpose as this divine mother showed you is simple-to love and be loved. Namaste
What a amazing talk...
If God did not want you sheared he would not have made you sheep!
John Brown I think u like him too much..dts y so mny comments from u😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

What an inspiring speech from Swami! This spiritual wisdom is open to all persons who have the ability to surrender to its light with sincerity, humility, openness and a deep yearning to know the truth.
Such moving teaching by Swami Ji. I don't know why this video doesn't even have a million views even after such a long time! It is among the best talks available on TEDx.
wonderful speech with interesting stories and analogies!
Lot of love and respect
wonderful speech.Love him and all
Your way of speaking shows how humble you are and so much honesty and truth it resembles
