Summary

Within this extraordinary memoir, Radhanath Swami weaves a colorful tapestry of adventure, mysticism, and love. Listeners follow Richard Slavin from the suburbs of Chicago to the caves of the Himalayas as he transforms from young seeker to renowned spiritual guide. The Journey Home is an intimate account of the steps to self-awareness and also a penetrating glimpse into the heart of mystic traditions and the challenges that all souls must face on the road to inner harmony and a union with the Divine.

Through near-death encounters, apprenticeships with advanced yogis, and years of travel along the pilgrim’s path, Radhanath Swami eventually reaches the inner sanctum of India’s mystic culture and finds the love he has been seeking. It is a tale told with rare candor, immersing the reader in a journey that is at once engaging, humorous, and heartwarming.

A truly wonderful spiritual journey

What a wonderful spiritual journal read by the author in such an engaging way, his voice oozing charm personality and dare I say holiness. Makes me want to shave my head and join a temple

Should’ve read this book a long time ago

Very inspiring book, throughout the book you feel you are part of the journey with Radhanath Swami, right next to him. You go through all the emotions in the journey and just come out at the end of it thinking woah. Definitely going through the book again.

This book has helped me with realisation of day to day things in my life. Very grateful to have listened to this book

Lovely story, would listen again.

At the beginning his voice takes a while to get use to, but as soon as your completely involved in the story it’s not an issue. Really nice elaborate story, taking you on a journey with in-depth event description.
It’s very enlightening to listen to and there are many messages to take home. I would definitely listen to this again.
