What a beautiful podcast! You bless us every time you do these Rich! Thanks for being you! We love ya my man!❤️
Notice how Rich’s voice slows down throughout the interview to match the tone and pace of Radhanath. Shows how Rich genuinely takes in his guests and their energy. Peace and plants!
Completely in contrast to that Jeo Rogans guy.
Rich Roll is a smart intervewer.
This is the art and skill of rapport.
This is one of the wonderful interview I have experienced in my life. This is a big waking up call.
Wonderful interaction between Maharaja and Richi.
Both the personalities have same material name. Feeling so enlightening. 🙏🙏
Rich, when you were winding down the interview with Radanha Swami, he said exactly what I hear when I listen to your podcasts. Soak his compliment in. You listen deeply, care deeply, summarise what you hear and ask great questions. Love your podcasts. Thank you.
That's the first I notice watching his videos.
Remarkably, I'd never heard of Radhanath Swami prior to this amazing interview with Rich Roll. It's hard to imagine a person who more beautifully and genuinely embodies love, compassion and service than him. Rich, you did a wonderful thing with this interview - firstly with your choice of guest, and secondly the thoughtful, beautiful way you created space and respect for Radhanath, so thank you for that. Divine.
He has been involved in very Nefarious situations!! Sounds Phony @ F
@@curtiswilliams6902 fake
Lol better dig a little deeper
The extraordinary greatness of Radhanath Swamiji can be felt in every word he speaks.
Bhogi Yogi!!!
@@curtiswilliams6902 bhakti yog
Needed this today!!! Was feeling so heavy, especially with all the division going on right now in the US. Feeling much lighter and hopeful for our country and having faith we can unite as one in time.
When I look back on these times, I will be saying that I could not have made it through without Rich Roll. Whether it's gathering information and inspiration about how to become more physically and mentally healthy, or as in this video with Radhanath Swami, to be nourished and uplifted from the constricted feelings of depression into the vastness of love and compassion and the desire to serve humanity rather than disparage it, I thank you with all my heart for creating this safe and beautiful place in the cyber universe.
Miriam, that's an extraordinary revelation and a beautiful sharing. And I concur - what Rich is doing with his life is incredibly practical, poignant, meaningful and inspiring to so many of us. Blessings and happiness to you on your journey Miriam.
Thanks for sharing! This Podcast helped me too!!! :-)
Miriam, we are all gurus teaching one another, we learn from one another in this journey to connecting to the ultimate truth of being. We all have souls inside us that knows the greater truth but our body and intellect does not and hence there is this journey from our mind, body and intellect to the ultimate truth. We can actually revere and bow down to one another when we meet on the streets. You are a guru to someone else too without even realising 🙏
I made sure and watched the video... rather than have podcast only as I clean or run about the streets.....so I would pay attention and focus on Swami.... truly a holy man
HH Radhanath swami is so amazing and deep in his realisations and applying bhakti yoga principles to problems and situations around us...👍
Amazing!! So inspiring. Thank you, this is beautiful. Thank you for the content you provide. I truly believe we are starving for this content. I am humbled and grateful.l
Thank you so so soooooooo much for this episode! I cannot thank you enough honestly. The wisdom that I learned from this is exactly what I was asking God for yesterday. Divine timing is everything!
The sin-sacrifice-resurrection story implies a superstitious God who values blood sacrifice. Are you unable to realize how the superstitious early folks who valued blood sacrifice created the God of The Bible in their own image?
@@AtamMardes this is an assumption. Humbleness teaches us that we don't know everything. Practice it daily & you'll save yourself from judgment.
@@VaneezyTV This is a fact. Humbleness is different than gullibility. Religion scam uses fear tactics to fool the gullible folks. Thinking teaches you that religion has got you duped with its judgement day nonsense. Practice thinking daily to avoid being fooled by charlatan preachers.
@@VaneezyTV The superstitious hypocrites who made up the Abraham story did not realize that they were contradicting their own definition of their imaginary God. If God was omniscient, then God would have known about Abraham's sincerity without needing to resort to child abuse.
@@AtamMardes I'm not religious at all. I agree with you on that.
I listened to this episode on a long run, and it brought so much joy and valuable insight to my current situation. Radhanath is someone who you can tell truly lives his truth and practices. I really appreciated the genuine nature of this man, and I now go back to this episode often. I find new pieces of information each time I go back, and listen more carefully to this discussion. What a beautiful person, and thank you Rich for brining out the best of this discussion. Hopefully we will see Radhanath on the podcast again, a true breath of fresh air!
I hear what you’re saying about finding like minded people. I’ve been trying to reach out for more than 5 years and feel completely alone since awakening and became deeply aware. Now everyone I knew treats me like I’m weird and doesn’t associate with me and no one else has replied. Anyone here who knows where to find like minded people? I have an amazing story to tell and a very fun outlook on life.
This is beautiful! This man has such a gift.
I am in awe, I can't express in words how grateful I am for what I am learning from him.
Perfect questions, perfect answers. I feel nourished by the dept and insightfulness of the dialog. Kudos to Rich and Radhanath.
This is a most beautiful and nurturing conversation. Radhanath is a most divine Soul. Thank you Rich 🙏💜🙏
Lol so you didn't know he was involved with Kirtinanda at new vrindavan? He turned a cheek while murder was done and children where molested. Read the book killing for krishna
Jai Shri Krishna ❤
Sooo opening towards Spirituality,
Made me to realise the some of things that let go.
Taught me how to overcome the difficult
Thanks
Crying tears of bliss and joy. My favorite podcast episode to get grounded. ❤️
Thank you!❤
Hare krishna🙏🙏
Thank you so much for this guest. His book was very important to me when I was going to India. It's amazing to hear him
timely, timely talk. Thanks, Rich and Radhanath Swami.
Rich...you’re an eternal soul, apart of God, your real ego is beautiful! And WOW!!!! This podcast solidified me as a massive fan of your podcast. Swami Radhanath blew me away! Powerfully powerful teacher. My heart is melting in joy!!xooxoxoxo
My iPad is sitting on a tablecloth that matches the wrap around this man. Lol. Just wanted to share this coincidence. I’m listening sitting by the window in my nyc apartment feeling overwhelmed. 🙏🏻❤️🧘🏼♀️. Love and peace to all.
this was so
...good.
just purely good.
i needed this, thank you.
Love from india to Radhanand Swami and Rich...🙏
One of the best episodes of 2020!
Rich Roll, amongst so many traits you are such a good listener! You are teaching me to do better there!
Yes, cultivating humbleness in devotional service ,which is unconditional love - non judgement for good or bad but neutral ,loving kindness for what is. Now , more then ever we need to go inward and raise our own consciousness as individuals,because that is the only way we can make change collectively and it is an answer to all todays problems .❤️🕉🌺
So incredibly beautiful. I was once again reminded of the importance of following a spiritual path, practicing it daily and making it part of my everyday life. Thank you for hosting this wonderful monk on your show. I am so grateful right now.
📿🙏🏻 Hare Kṛṣṇa 🌟
I love Radhanath Swami, his books, and this beautiful talk. While he was talking about oneness, I cried my eyes out and felt a feeling of emotional pent up release from within me. This talk really helped me during this time of depression and disconnection. Thank you so much for posting this. Namaste 🙏📿
There are more than words here.
I appreciate Rich for choosing guests that communicate on levels that some without ears to hear will miss. 3 people saying the same thing are not communicating the same thing.
I am uplifted by this ,thank you Rich 🧡🔥
This changed my life in a dark time. Thank you genuinely from my heart
My spark has been really nurtured by this discussion, Radhanath Swami has such a beautiful way of teaching. Thank you both 🙏 💕 much love
this is one of the very best talks i have ever listened to. such a wonderful conversation. Rich really shines here.
Radhanath Swami when I'm in your virtual presence, I feel the DIVINE in my presence and me in the presence of the DIVINE. HARE KRISHNA
Wauw Rich's gaze is so soft in this conversation. Looks so relaxing and softening, it's special to witness how someones else's energie and presence influence us in such a deep way.
I totally agree
When I seemingly stumbled across this interview, I had no knowledge of either Rich Roll or Radhanath Swami. Reminds me of that old saying, "When the student is ready, the teacher appears." Happiness and peace exude from Radhanath's very pores. I want what he has! Rich, your interview skills - intense listening and thoughtful questioning made it easy to learn from all that both of you shared. Blessings to both of you.
I love when these podcasts bring exactly what I need at exactly the right time. This one did that. I also felt Rich's game was even more elevated than usual. From the first question and every question/comment that came thereafter. Thank you.
Thank you Rich. Namaste Swami. Getting out the message of all four Yogas - Bhakti, Jnana, Karma, and Raja is very important.
Perfect Questions - Perfect Answers
****AAA interview. I experience the same Truth with the real ego and can verify all is true even though it took me thirty years to know this genuine Love and Truth the Swami is a witness to.
What a beautiful soul Radhanath Swami is. Thank you both for this interview. i study energy work and am passionate in connecting science and spirituality. There is a pure, loving and divine intelligence that flows to and through every cell in our bodies and connects us all - and when we connect to our heart space, we are fostering our spirit self and allowing the wellness and abundance that naturally flows, if we don't do that thing to block it.. Our thoughts and believe are so powerful. We get what we focus upon...whether we want it or not, and some do choose bondage...but the choice is ours. Awareness and self love are the keys. When one truly loves themselves, they have love and compassion for all. They know that everyone is doing the best they can with the knowledge and understanding they have at that particular space and time. Blessings to alll...and... Be the LOVE, you are wanting to experience.
Thank you so much for this talk, such a blessed conversation ❤️
Met him at the Bhacti center in the East Village a few years ago. Very nice person
Be open to acceptance, we are global citizens... Each has FREEDOM they were born with and perhaps respect is one way to retain it. When we respect ours we respect others!
How beautiful life use to be. When risk taking was just like breathing.
Hare Krishna 🙏
NAMASTE THANKS FOR THE BLESSINGS
If only politicians and giant corporations owner would listen to this great Radantha, world would be Rose Garden.
Rich I’m feeling very grateful for this conversation. Thank you for sharing❤️
Thank you so much.
What a beautiful interview love the conclusion 'there are two ego's..excellent ..
Beautiful....absolutely beautiful. Thank you both.
What a beautiful episode! Thank you very much 🙏🏼
I somehow fell upon us accidentally and I thank you both so much.
I feel good, too. Love this. Rich awesome
WOW! Gorgeous! Thank you so much Rich. Blessed to be with the presence of Radhanath Swami. These conversations have been part of my spiritual journey. Smiles and stoke from New Zealand - big love from the consciousness (big ego) we share haha!
What an enlightening interview, an amazing man!!
And he is right Rich, you are such a pleasure to listen to, very insightful & heart felt questions & discussions.
I am glad I found your podcast.

This was amazing. Rich, you have a beautiful mind and cultivate great dialogue. You earned my subscription.
Thank you for sharing Radhanath Swami and enlightening your viewers to such a sweet character and gentle heart.
I look forward to learning more.
Wow! Rich….I so needed to hear this today. With the awful war in the Ukraine, the third year of Covid19 and all the mass shootings in the US along with hyper inflation I am questioning man’s inhumanity to man…I am 66 years old and have never seen this chaos. Climate change and politicians who are only out for themselves…oh my gosh its overwheliming. My spiritual faith will get me through. God bless you and Radanha Swami❤️🌹
❤ thank you!
Very insightful. Very inspirational. Thank you for sharing. 🙏❤️🇨🇦
Thanks for the wisdom. I like it so much

Spirituality is one who works with ethics in life

Thank you for this podcast, at this moment in time.
Fantastic podcast! Thank you!
Truly beautiful conversation and sharing. The clarity, compassion and listening imprints this dialogue you both created. I appreciated the space that you both allowed in talking and I find this rare in those I know. Space for thoughts and feelings. The distinction between the two versions of ego near the end was imperative to me as well. As always, thank you Rich for facilitating this equally soulful and introspective sharing of ideas.
