Nazi, Jew, or Devotee of Nityananda Prabhu?

 

Sri Nityananda Prabhu

Srila Prabhupada


The following is an endearing exchange between Sacinandana Maharaj and Radhanatha Swami along with hundreds of devotees from the Radha Gopinatha Mumbai Chowpatty temple. The exchange took place during the year  1997 at Sri Ekachakra Dhama.  I remember this exchange took place rather late at night after a full day of touring Ekachakra and immediately after Radhanatha Swami gave a dynamic and heartfelt class on the unparalleled mercy of Lord Nityananda. We were all sitting under a banyan tree next to a rice field.


Sachinandana Swami


Sachinandana Swami: Hare Krishna…Let me disclose something which is not fit to be disclosed.  I was born in a very sinful family…Germans. My father has done crimes which we cannot say.  He was in the Nazi regime. Sometimes he remembers the atrocities against the Jewish population, he becomes speechless and cries. This is the background…we come from a family of brutal murderers and killers. We could tell you stories which would make you faint.

    Somehow my mother gave a complicated birth to me on Nityananda’s  appearance day. She was unconscious …it was complicated. The birth occurred just on the tithi of Nityananda’s appearance day. This sinful person (humbly referring to himself) who was destined by his karma to take birth in a family of brutal murderers. Because of this unconscious relation with Lord Nityananda we met the pure devotee, Srila Prabhupada. This is the proof of Lord Nityananda’s mercy. It is sitting before you in a body with blood flowing through his veins and so on and so forth.

                                                                    

I am disclosing this not because I am a special person..no, no. I was born in a family of great sinners. Special people do not take such births. It is Lord Nityananda’s mercy which made even the most fallen person into a devotee of God. This is proof of Lord Nityananda’s mercy. Hare Krishna!  


Radhanatha Swami
Radhanatha Swami: I would like to briefly expand on this very intimate revelation. Sacinanda Maharaja described his  father’s  past. He was a Nazi who killed Jews. My father was a Jew. Practically every one of his relatives were killed by the Nazis. All of his aunts, uncles, cousins were killed in a concentration camp by your father.
   Now try to understand the mercy of Lord Nityananda. Sacinandana Maharaja and I are the dearest of friends. This is the power of Lord Nityananda Prabhu. We have transcended our backgrounds as Jews and Nazi’s, and we are blissfully dancing together in the chanting of the holy names.


Ekachakra Dhama ki jay!


Here are the links to the lectures. The exchange between Radhanatha Swami and Sacinandana Swami takes place on the second link at about 48:00. The website says that these classes took place in the year 2000 but they actually occurred in 1997. Please take an hour or two to listen and meditate on these wonderful and blissful activities of Nityananda Prabhu.

Healthy in India... medical tourism opportunity.

Hello.

Healthy in India

We are going to be starting a service which will facilitate "medical tourism" in India. Medical Tourism?

Since medical treatment in America and other "western" countries (at least the ones that do not provide universal health insurance) is outrageously expensive. We will facilitate foreigners' travels to and from India, arrange for their medical treatment and take them to various tourist or pilgrimage places throughout India at prices that will be a fraction of the medical care in the West.  We have connected with some of the best doctors in all of India from various fields of medicine. We also have a team of experienced "India travelers" who can guide you throughout the exciting land of India. Our web site will be up soon but if you are anxious to start right away you can email us at healthyinindia@gmail.com. We have also been posting interesting facts and news about health in India here at Healthy in India.

Radhanatha Swami meets with Barack Obama

One of the most powerful political leaders in the world, US President Barack Obama recently met with one of the most wise and saintly person in the world, His Holiness Radhanatha Swami. Let us hope that the former finds genuine inspiration and practical guidance from the latter.

TRANSLATION
Whatever action a great man performs, common men follow. And whatever standards he sets by exemplary acts, all the world pursues.


On June 13, 2011 Radhanath Swami was invited to meet with the President of the United States, Mr. Barack Obama at an event in Miami Florida. Radhanath Swami was grateful to accept the invitation on behalf of his beloved Guru, Srila Prabhupada and dedicated the meeting to his beloved Godbrother Bhakti Tirtha Swami. The President and the Swami had a beautiful, heartfelt talk for several minutes.

It is special that last year Radhanath Swami was invited to meet with the President of India, Ms. Pratibha Patil. We feel that the two meetings signal an auspicious spiritual connection between the United States of America and Mother India.
