The Journey Home Book Video
I saw Shri Radhanath Swamiji in London at Bhakti Manor; a most loving,
compassionate Swami, Guru and devotee. I was deeply touched by his Divine
Presence. Recently, I came across his book, “The Journey Home,” an
Autobiography of an American Swami. This book is a profound story of
Radhanath Swami’s journey from the material world of temptation, attachment
and several difficulties to the innermost innocent spiritual awakening.
One should learn from Swamiji’s life story about the depth of dedication,
conviction and total commitment to the inner search of Truth. Read the rest of this entry »
What is particularly remarkable about Radhanath Swami’s The Journey Home is the striking detail of his descriptions of his daily existence on the spiritual path…. All of these is set forth in an elegantly clear[language] that completely avoids ambiguity.

The Journey Home which is an autobiography of Radhanath Swamiji is a stunning story worth reading.Though, his journey from the external to the internal world is an awe-inspiring journey it is possible that it may frighten many as he had undergone physical, financial and mental tortures from men irrespective of race or creed, almost taking him to the jaws of death. It is an amazing story. Yet his determination as an ardent seeker of truth is clear.
His determined will to reach the Land of spiritual kingdom, that is India, is an unbelievable episode who later savoured the flavour of seeing the Soul face to face.The readers have to admire when everything of what he possessed are not only snatched his determined will, but salute him for withstanding the violent force of murder.

The Journey Home is a generational classic. It portrays an American teenager’s search for meaning and fulfillment in the turbulent world we live in. He travels across Europe, the Middle East and into the mystical world of India. It’s a tale of adventure, humor and love. I recommend the Journey Home as a must read for seekers of all sorts.
