Journey Home

 Many of us have heard anecdotes here and there about Radhanatha Swami's journey as a  teenager from Europe through the middle east ending up in India and finally Vrindavan. Most of us assumed that Radhanatha Swami in his humility would never write a comprehensive narration of these travels. Fortunately, he considers himself an obedient servant to  the Vaisnavas, so when one of his esteemed Godbrothers HH Bhaktitirtha Swami asked him to write these memoirs he acquiesed. The title of the book is My Journey Home . 

    It is written primarily for those interested in spiritual life but have not yet commited to any specific discipline. The narration includes his meeting with many of the famous Indian gurus of the time. These include Neem Karoli Baba (from Be Here Now), Swami Sachidananda, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (Trnascendental Meditation), the Dalai Llama and many other powerful yet unknown yogis. Throughout the narration he is inspired by many of these teachers yet does not commit as a disciple until he is absolutely sure that he can fully dedicate himself to that teacher. He finally settles on A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and has never deviated from the path of bhakti yoga as enunciated by Swami Prabhupada. Indeed, almost 40 years later, Radhanatha Swami is now a living example of one who has developed a genuine love for god and humanity, by following the most powerful spiritual and religous path of Bhakti yoga.

   In this age when many of the worlds problems and wars seem to be initiated by those who claim to be godly this story is a welcome change. We are able to witness the journey of one who is genuinely sincere in his quest for truth and knowledge of god. I hope that my friends and family will take the time  to read this enlightening biography.
