More quotes by Radhanath Swami
In religion, there's a certain type of fear that if somebody believes differently from me, that it's a threat.

I came to the conclusion that unless I found myself and became the change I wanted to see in the world - as Gandhi said - I couldn't contribute much, nor would there be anything fulfilling or meaningful in my life. So I went on a spiritual search.
Radhanath Swami

Radhanath Swami
