About this listen

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 story that had to be told. It is God’s plan to get these stories out to those who need to hear it and read it and understand it - it is that everything in life happens for a reason - to let go and let God.

As a Muslim I’ve yet to read on a journey of a man so profoundly beautiful, scary and so profoundly meaningful and all with the single goal of finding his way to God.

Appreciate the wisdom he shared.

I really enjoyed this audio book, especially since I didn't have to struggle with the Sanskrit words. . I was impressed by the author's focus and devotion at such a young age. This book was well written and read by the author. On my own path to self-discovery, I am inspired by the story.

Remarkable Journey of Self-discovery!

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.

One of the best audio books ever!
