A new year (2014) begins with new hopes and joys awaiting. Let us continue to learn the lessons of Life through the various experiences that come our way.
"The Journey Home" by Radhanath Swami (formerly Richard Slavin) was an amazing read last year! It traces the remarkable physical and spiritual journey which Richard/Radhanath makes, starting as a young teenager (19) from US in 1969 to Europe through Middle East to India. The inner call that drove him from the comforts of his home to the wretched and poorest areas of India remains a mystery for the author himself but something/someone kept tugging him towards God right from a very young age. The shedding of the hippie/revolutionary culture to enter into the arms of God seemed to be the journey that the author made.
Along the way, the simple lessons learned and presented to us from his various experiences was indeed refreshing.
Note:
**Logging in after more than a year, I find this still sitting in "Draft"! Unfortunately I don't have much to add given the fact that I've forgotten much of what I read in the book. All I can offer my readers is Radhanath Swami's official website:
