In one of the Maharaj's lecture, he mentioned about his meeting with one professor whose name was "Dr. Maybe" who was denying the existence of GOD. So, Maharaj told him "Dr. Maybe, maybe there is GOD".

YAS.

When Radhanath Maharaj joined Srila Prabhupad in the early days, He wrote one letter to His father & He signed off the letter by writing-" Your Servant".

His father replied in the next letter," I arranged so much of good education for you & after all this you have become a servant, it's not appropriate"

Then Maharaj again replied back to his father saying," Actually, I have not become a servant but I have become a servant of the servant"

This was during last Mayapur Yatra. There was a group of Matajis from Belgaum rolling Chapatis. Maharaj happened to pass from there. He was mercifully sharing his smile. HG Lalit Kund Mataji who was serving in Chapati team, approached Maharaj & said "Maharaj, I am Lalita Kund Devi dasi from Belgaum". Maharaj folded his hands & replied "I am Radhanath Swami" & started laughing in his unique style.

In one lecture i heard , when Maharaj says " let's loudly chant Hare krishna Hare Krishna....". Everyone chants in the hall luodly once, and after that there are a group of people sitting at the other hall they still continue chanting and they chant 3 times.
Then after they chant Maharaj comments - " I think they are followers of Krishnananda pr".. :-)

MAHARAJ,S MERCY IS UNFATHOMABLE. MERELY BY HIS PRESENCE HE ELECTRIFIES THE SPIRITUAL ATMOSPHERE.

Gurumaharaj was honoring prasad with HH Giriraj Swami. A disciple had made some cookies and HH Giriraj Swami was honoring some. He asked for more cookies which had different shapes. HH Giriraj Swami asked if they are the same cookies. To that Gurumahraj replied that they are simultaneously one and different.. Such an amazing way to explain the highest truths..

one time Radhanath Maharaj came from mayapur, very few devotees were there to receive him, his servant gave me garland to offer it to Maharaj, i did it and then started following him , no one behind us. He looked back 2 - 3 times didn't say anything , but when he came near guru parampara he stopped and said " what you think you are doing?" i said " I am making sure that everything is OK on your way". He said " I think I am doing it for you". I understood i have to walk ahead of him for this , but I couldn't gather courage to do that then.

Maharaj is a transcendental uplifter of the soul..........................on a humorous level and a serious level too.
Poonam Mahtani Comment by Poonam Mahtani on March 3, 2011 at 9:50am

Just listened to a funny lecture about how to look at things with a positive attitude...

Towards the end of the lecture, Maharaj asks Jananivas Pr. to speak something..but prabhuji declines his request because he has a toothache...Maharaj says "He has a toothache...he is seeing that toothache as an opportunity to not have to speak tonight..that means he is..transcenDENTAL." haha

Then later Maharaj says that Jananivas Prabhu was in a place where the quality of food was not so good..in his rice there would be stones every day..but he would still take the stones with his prasadam because he accepted it as Krishna's mercy...but after having to bite into these stones after a while his teeth have been affected. So HG Jananivas Prabhu responds "Yes that is why I have a stone heart, from ingesting these stones." and Maharaj replies "We agree that your heart is like a Govardhan Shila." Jai Guru Maharaj! All glories to HG Jananivas Prabhu!

Once in 2007, Maharaja had just started wearing reading glasses; so before the class he found it difficult to read from Bhagavatam without his specs ..& said...."Symptoms Of Kaliyuga"........then he took out his glasses & put them, then before reading said....."Now it appears to be Satyuga"........Crystal Clear
Ramya Thyagarajan Comment by Ramya Thyagarajan on January 3, 2011 at 3:04pm

2010 South India Yatra.....

Maharaj was making an important point when the sound system went "Kooooooooooooooooo"

Maharaj then said, "That is Lord's way of making an exclamation mark!"

Once in D.C. devotees went on a walk with Maharaj in a nature park. There were many beautiful trees and flowers growing all around. We passed one particular tree and Gauravani Pr. stopped us. He told us that this particular tree was very strong in nature and it grows on top of other things, like the wooden canopy we were walking under. The tree's branches keep growing and ensnaring whats underneath until they completely crush whatever its growing on. He continued to expain that it was very difficult to cut down that tree.
As we were walking away, Maharaj looked at the tree and wispered "Just like lust." and then walked away.

This happened during one the programs hosted by some IAS Officers at the Mantralya in Mumbai. One lady who was the wife of one of the IAS officers came to Maharaj and said that she was very happy to be in Bombay amongst devotees and was praying that her husband would not be transfered from the current post in Mantralaya to any other place.
Maharaj very promptly replied to her saying "We will chant MANTRAS for your husband to stay in MANTRAlaya"

RNS Maharaj told us that his disciples got a rental car for him once that was brand new with all the latest Western, modern conveniences. The car was very plush in its interior and would talk to you, saying, "put on your seat belts." "Interior light is still on." "Adjust your rear view mirrors". "Turn off your headlights." "Turn right at the next intersection in .4 miles". "Slow down...." So, my husband said, "So, that was pretty nice, Maharaj?" To which Maharaj immediately answered, "NO! It was like having a WIFE!"
Mahavisnupriya Cranmer Comment by Mahavisnupriya Cranmer on August 14, 2010 at 6:48pm
One evening at a disciples meeting in our home, Maharaj was asking various devotees to tell him about what they were doing currently and how they were faring. One devotee talked at length about how much separation he felt from his guru Maharaj. But then he had a dream where RNS flew into his life and the devotee was trying to follow after him. I looked at Maharaj and his eyes got big and widened when this disciple said this. So, after the devotee spoke, I said, "maharaj, do you often appear in your disciples dreams?" To which he immediately responded, "No, I make it my personal policy...to mind my own business!" To which everyone errupted in laughter and Maharaj had full body shakes of laughter with everyone. It was very sweet.
