Radhanath Swami
Radhanath Swami was born in Chicago in 1950. At age nineteen, he travelled overland from London to India, where he lived in Himalayan caves, learned yoga from revered masters, and eventually became a world-renowned spiritual leader in his own right. His acclaimed memoir, The Journey Home, has been translated into over twenty languages and sold in over forty countries worldwide. Radhanath Swami presently travels in Asia, Europe, and America teaching devotional wisdom but can often be found with his community in Mumbai, where he works tirelessly to help develop communities, food distribution initiatives, missionary hospitals, schools, ashrams, emergency relief programs, and eco-friendly farms.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow. Just simply wow. I have got no words !
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A must read book for those who are strongly determined to achieve in their spiritual journey as well as for those who wants to get closer to GOD
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The greatness of this book is that it reaffirms the ancient truth that a human being must find the truth himself/herself. Buddha said, "No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path." This life of Radhanath Swami proves that once again. The book stunningly describes the deep personal journey of a seeker and the determination he had to sustain his spiritual thirst. Radhanath Swami's spiritual journey from US to India is full of ups and downs. He faced so many obstacles. Any other ordinary mortal would have succumbed to the natural pressures and given up. He pursued. His inner endurance opens us to the working of a true spiritual seeker. Determined, gentle, loving, passionate and steady were the path of Radhanath Swami.
This is an excellent book for any spiritual seeker or any human being interested in knowing how the search of the truth works.
