I Spent A Week With A 74-year-old Monk - This Is What I Learned

This week on A Really Good Cry, I’m sharing what I learned from spending time with Radhanath Swami—a monk, teacher, and someone whose presence teaches more than words ever could.

I first met Radhanath Swami over a decade ago, and in that time, simply observing how he lives—how he speaks, how he treats others, and how he holds presence in every moment—has quietly answered so many of the questions I’ve wrestled with on my spiritual path.

This episode is about alignment—how our daily actions reflect our values, and how small, consistent practices shape our sense of purpose. We’ll explore what integrity really looks like in daily life, how rituals help create emotional stability, and why love isn’t just a feeling—it’s a choice we make again and again.

Whether you’re deep in your own journey or just beginning to ask the bigger questions, I truly believe these reflections will offer something meaningful to your heart, too.

What We Discuss:

00:00 Introduction
01:24 Who is Radhanath Swami?
04:27 The moment I first heard the meaning of true integrity
05:31 Why embodiment inspires more than advice ever could
06:19 The truth about religion
09:58 What is Sadhana?
11:27 Prayer is not a routine
12:17 Being conscious of God’s presence all the time
14:56 Why we all need role models in life
17:52 The power of silence and soul-to-soul connection
20:32 How can to be a vessel of grace and compassion
