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

Can’t wait to apply what I have learned in this book to my life, for a happier and healthier experience!

Inspirational and impossible to pause

Radhanath Swami you are life embodied.
In the mist of the world's hardest times I chose your book to show me another view of your adventures and discovery of spiritual enlightenment and to serve others. I chose to listen to this as my positive quiet time on route to work and back. I has helped me in finding my dharma and study to become a counsellor for my UK police force to help those damaged by the events of 2020 find their self and inner peace again. I'm now engaging in my own selfless by service helping others heal. I have got so much from your book that it will forever be etched in my heart. Thankyou forever grateful

The most beautiful book I have ever listened to!

It is hard for me to put into words how much I have gained from listening to this incredible journey. I am so grateful that R Swami took the time to write it and to read it himself. As his dear friend said, this spiritual journey is something so important to be shared with the world as it awakens people's inner light.

I have listened to many spiritual books by the greatest spiritual teachers which I have loved. I must say that this is the book that has touched me the most.

R Swami's humility, determination and humour shine throughout.

This book has left me with a sense of peace within, knowing that I am on the right path in my own spiritual quest.

thank you for sharing your unconditional love ❤️

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
