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.
– CHARLES S. J. WHITE, PH.D., Professor Emeritus, American University, Washington, D.C.
Radhanath Swami is a spiritual leader, author, and public speaker. A practitioner of bhakti-yoga for almost 40 years, he helps individuals find greater inner fulfillment through devotional service
Richard Slavin
“Our little Richie (later Radhanath Swami) is sweet but so strange. Why is he like this?” Gerald and Idelle Slavin often wondered why their little son had strange habits like refusing to sit in chairs, while eating, making his mother wash his clothes again and again until they became old or scraping his new shoes with rocks till they looked worn, sitting on the floor of the backseat of a new car.
Radhanath Swami explains that having better things than others made him feel embarrassed. Such was the unusual childhood of Radhanath Swami, who upon reaching the end of his teenage years embarked on yet another unusual quest – an overland journey from Greece to India. In this search for the true meaning in life, Radhanath Swami realized that the best things in life connect all of us to God and far from feeling embarrassed about them, he is sharing them with everyone.
Swami Prabupada, the famous Vaishnav monk, who founded the Hare Krishna movement in the West, accepted Radhanath Swami as his disciple in the early 1970s. and from the time on wards, Radhanath Swami has pioneered the establishment of monasteries, schools and a Hospital. Radhanath Swami inspired the Mid Day Meal scheme project to provide free nourishing meals to more than 200,000 underprivileged children in Mumbai, India. Barsana Eye Camp is another initiative mentored by Radhanath Swami which helps them restoring vision of up to 1000 patients every year from poverty stricken families in the most economically backward parts of North India.

Amazing words from Charles about Radhanath Swami’s book.
Indeed, one of the most striking thing about Radhanath Swami’s book is the clarity of thought, it’s crystal clear.
Amazing book – a must read for all.
Most amazing thing is that Maharaj still remembers the prayers that he had offered in the situations that he went thorugh during the journey.
Its very true!!!
True, the description makes you feel that you are there, you can see everything in front of your eyes.
amazing story telling by HH Radhanath mahraj, while reading one would easily get lost in Maharaj’s adventures to seek truth.
so true.!
Very rightly said by Mr.white that it is free of all ambiguities
When i took the book to read, i could not stop reading.It is written in such a way giving every detail of Radhanath swami’s journey. I enjoyed the book. even after reading it once, i now and then open it and read and still i get lost in reading.I gave the book to one of my friends he also had same opinion, he subsequently recommonded the book to her wife.This is proof of how well this book is recieved by the readers.
Thank you Radhanath swami for sharing your spiritual journey with us in the form of this valuable book, it throws light on so many issues one may face during his own spiritual journey and by doing so it prepares any one willing to take to spiritual path, for taking all the challenges which may come in the way,with proper understanding.
I have read Radhanath Swami’s book and I perfectly agree with Mr White’s comment about it.
The power of recollection displayed by Radhanath Swami points to the extreme emphasis he has placed on all the recollected incidents.
I heard that the author is very soon going to come out with his second book. Is this true? Could anyone please guide me to a place where i can get a copy from?
A must read for all
Wonderful book – I have some friends who could just not leave the book till they finished. They read end to end. A must read for all.
Indeed this is one of the best books I have ever read.
I agree with Mr. White. Maharaj has amazing narrative skills.

A must read book for all. The best thing about this book is how Radhanath Swami derives lesson from each of his experience and his determination to reach his goal inspite of the difficulties.
Very crisp and elegant review. Radhanth Swamy’s life is like a clear transparent glass and an open book
Its amazing what Radhanath Swami underwent to reach his goal and even more amazing to see how he is equally (if not more) struggling hard to get the message of spirituality to people and help them. That is the reason of this book The Journey Home…what a divine personality…
It is amazing how the author has written this book in thorough detail.
It;s true. Radhanath Swami has iwritten such a magnificent yet humble account of his deeply spiritual experiences that even the common man can understand and appreciate his journey.
its so true, the reviews talks about Radhanath Swami’s clarity of thought.
The comments given by charles is exactly true about the Journey Home. Anyone who reads the book will understand this fact. It is written in such a wonderful way that everyone tries to look into their own spiritual path.
