The first interaction I remember having with you was at the old Calcutta airport sometime in the 1990s. A group of about six god sisters, traveling together, arrived on the same flight as you and a few god brothers. Our cars had not yet arrived to take us to Mayapur, and we were unsure what to do. There were no cell phones. We were stuck. Whilst everyone else from the flight left, you, alone, stayed behind to help us arrange transportation. I'm not sure how long it took, but you didn't leave until we were safely packed and on our way. This simple act of kindness left a lasting impression on me. Since that time, I have witnessed and often heard about many such instances of your personal care and willingness to go out of your way to give your association and support. Your loving friendships with your god siblings have been a source of inspiration to me and so many others. You embody the same personal warmth and compassion with which Śrīla Prabhupāda interacted with His disciples. It doesn't matter one's position, what service one renders, or how steadily one maintains devotional service standards. You always offer understanding, encouragement, and heartfelt compassion. (excerpt from HG Nirakula Dasi's offering) ------------------------------------------------------------ I received from his home, His Holiness Radhanath Swami, a piece of advice which I hold dear and which I consider one of the most useful pieces of advice I have ever received. In one of our conversations, in which I was complaining about how overwhelming all the problems are in management, and I was listing some of the conflicts that were seemingly intractable, he gave me straightforward, very simple advice that I go back to again and again. He said to me, "You have to be blissful in order to deal with problems. Therefore, your main duty as a leader/manager is to find out how to make yourself blissful by being deeply absorbed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness." I feel that this answer contains all of Śrīla Prabhupāda's most important instructions. It's at once practical and fully aligned with Śrīla Prabhupāda's mood. And I will say that Rādhānāth Swami exemplifies this, because of his advancement in devotional service. Despite the fact that he has service that is unimaginable for any one human being, he is able to handle it because he always remains blissful by being engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness—hearing and chanting, remembering Kṛṣṇa wherever he goes—and this is the key to life. I'm forever grateful to him for his association, for all he's doing for the saṅkīrtana movement, and for this one piece of advice, which has kept me steady and engaged in service over so many years.
