The Journey Home

By: Radhanath Swami

Narrated by: Radhanath Swami

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.

The Journey Home review

Exceptional book a must listen. I thoroughly enjoyed. Inspirational book for any spiritual seekers. A story about very risky hitchhiker who is fulfilling his inner call risking his own life. Such a thrilling story.

I’m am forever changed

Thank you Swami for sharing your beautiful journey. I saw my own journey within yours and have gained a better understanding of devotion to God in whatever form I identify with and every thing else will work out.

One of the best audio books ever!

From the enchanting story, to the graphic writing, to the phenomenal reading by the author, to the satisfying epilogue, to the delightful background music, and most of all, to the uplifting message, this book has captured my heart. I had listened to another book that had a similar story line of traveling to India in the 1970s (when I lived there) but it was terrible and I was very reluctant to get this one. But every moment is spell binding! If you are interested in the Indian spiritual path, especially of raja and bhakti yoga, I would strongly encourage you to make this purchase.

Incredibly captivating

Just wow! I have shared this book over and over and to actually visit India and know what Maraj experienced warms my heart so much. I am forever thankful for this Journey Home.

Life changing

What an amazing journey. Really puts a lot of my own life into perspective . Highly recommend
