Radhanath Swami explains Kunti's dependence on Holy name

Kunti devi is quite aware that the existence of the pandavas is due to shree Krishna only. Kunti who was the mother of the pandavas knew very well the power and the glory of her five sons. Arjun was the greatest archer. Even Shiva was defeated by him and he was the most intimate friend of shree Krishna. Bhima was the most powerful person in all world with one stroke of his mighty claws he could hundreds of the most powerful elephants. Great Kunti saw with her own eyes as he powerized even the most powerful rakshas.

More You Enjoy More You Suffer by Radhanath Swami

This is the characteristic of a Vaishnava. Para-dukha-dukhe: a Vaishnava is always unhappy to see the conditioned souls unhappy. Otherwise, he would have no business teaching them how to become happy. In materialistic life, people must certainly engage in activities of animosity. Materialistic life is therefore compared to saàsära-dävänala **, a blazing forest fire that automatically takes place. Lord Shiva and his followers in the paramparä system try to save people from this dangerous condition of materialistic life.

Radhanath Swami on Blind Leading the Blind

Modern university education practically prepares one to acquire a doggish mentality with which to accept the service of the greater master. After finishing with so called education, the so call educated persons move like dogs from door to door with applications for some service and mostly they are driven away informed of no vacancy. As dogs are negligible animals and serve the master faithfully for bits of bread and man serves a master faithfully without sufficient rewards.

Positive Humility by Radhanath Swami

He is all pervasive. Nothing exists without the divine presence of Krsna.

All those personalities had four arms, holding conchshell, disc, mace and lotus flower in Their hands.

Radhanath Swami on Greatness of Krishna

Lord Baladeva said, “O supreme controller! These boys are not great demigods, as I previously thought. Nor are these calves great sages like Nārada. Now I can see that You alone are manifesting Yourself in all varieties of difference. Although one, You are existing in different forms of the calves and boys. Please briefly explain this to Me.” Having thus been requested by Lord Baladeva, Kṛṣṇa explained the whole situation, and Baladeva understood it.
