Radhanath Swami on the Social Front

Radhanath Swami brings an Ophthalmologist to GFS

Based on an interview with Sriranga Devi dasi, teacher at Gopal’s Fun School (GFS) Mumbai --

Sriranga Devi declares that in GFS there is a principle: many teachers, many assistant teachers, many GFS staff members and one Ophthalmologist!!!

Once, in the GFS office she was making puppets for an annual GFS festival. The entire office was piled up with different puppets and puppet making materials. Unexpectedly, Radhanath Swami entered the office. He was amazed to look at the puppets and all the more amazed to see the huge pile of things over-flooding the office. Sriranga Devi distinctly remembers showing Radharani’s puppet doll to Radhanath Swami with ease and excitement. Suddenly, a jovial Radhanath Swami turned reverential. Then, with awe and reverence he offered pranaams to what was thought to be a simple puppet doll of Radharani and said, “She is Srimati Radharani.”

This was when Radhanath Swami became the Ophthalmologist for GFS. He removed the cataract of materialist vision - a material vision of not seeing the connection between apparently material things and its spiritual origin.

Radhanath Swami clears the vision of the GFS staff enabling them to see apparently simple dolls as deities--and GFS children as children of God.

That is a true definition of an ophthalmologist ! One who removes the cataract of material vision and restores our original vision of god-centeredness!
