Visit of SAINTS
Recently the devotees of Radhakrishna
Temple were fortunate to sit in communion with four famous saints in the temple
and listen to their discourses.
It is said:
“Swarga mratyu patal puri teen lok sukh nahin I
Sukh prabhu bhajan mein aur santan ke mahin II (Saint Kabir)
(There is no real pleasure in this world or in the heavens. The real pleasures one can experience in communion with saints and while singing the glory of God.)
In Ramayan it is said : “ In one scale of balance, put together the delights of all world and heavens, but they will be outweighed by a moment’s joy derived from communion with saints.
Company of saints brings joy and peace in life with a touch of Bhakti (devotion,-love and faith towards God), Jnan (spiritual knowledge) and doctrine of Karma (righteous actions).

DEVOTIONAL SONGS BY SHRI MURLIDHAR MALHOTRA
On 25.12.2010 Shri Murlidhar Malhotra Ji
(Bau ji), founder of Radha Madhav Sankirtan Mandal presented a stream of highly
enlightening and devotional songs at the temple between 9-12 am
Praising the glory of God:
“Whoever has ever attained any material prosperity, wisdom, glory, salvation or welfare anywhere and by any means whatsoever, know it to be the grace of the Lord””
“He is the bestower of boons, the dispeller of agonies of the suppliant, an ocean of mercy and the delight of His devotees. May that merciful Lord be gracious to us, whose grace enables the dumb to make eloquent speeches and a cripple to ascend a mountain and who burns all the impurities and evils of the heart”.
His ways are supernatural in every respect. He sees everything without eyes, he hears without ears, HE walks without feet and performs various kinds of actions without hands. Nobody has been able to discover his beginning and end. His glory is beyond description.”
“O Lord, you are at once my father, mother, master, companion, Guru (preceptor) and everything else. My love, confidence and ties of affection are all centred in you. I do not wish from you glory and good fortune. He, who is devoted to your feet in thought, word and deed-should he be abandoned by you-O! ocean of mercy”.
“Those who have no anger, pride, arrogance, infatuations, and who are free from greed attractions or aversions to worldly objects, and who are free from hypocrisy, fraud and deceit-in their heart God abides. His adoration is the only means of soothing the agony of one’s heart. He follows like a shadow-where there is unadulterated love.”
As the devotees listened the praises and glory of the Lord with voice choked with religious emotions, a thrill ran in the body, and eyes of many devotees flowed with tears of love.

SADGURU SANT RAM KRIPAL JI
On 19.2.2010, saint Ram Kripal ji Maharaj was honoured by a large gathering of
devotees at the temple.
The saint told that this human body one gets as a result of pious and noble acts done in previous life. This human body and mind, if filled with positive thoughts and actions , can achieve all the desired objects. We utilise only a fraction of powers hidden in the brain. We should practice to give up all negative thoughts or worries and move towards our goals with confidence over ourselves. We should always behave and act like a successful man- as we think, so we become.
Those who are friendly to all and beloved of all, to whom joys and sorrows , applause and abuse are alike, those , who always utter truth and polite words and are filled with noble thoughts-to them destiny always favours.
