The Journey Home Book

 

At the age of only nineteen, Radhanath Swami left his home in America seeking adventure and spiritual knowledge. After trekking across Europe for months, Swami Radhanath reached his long hoped for destination: India. After living there for many years as a sadhu or wandering monk, Radhanath returned to America in order to share the sacred knowledge and wisdom he had learned from the many holy men and women he had met there. It was an extraordinary choice, given what Radhanath had survived to get there: a journey filled with bizarre characters, mystical experiences, and dangerous adventures. The story is recounted in his recently published memoir The Journey Home - Autobiography of an American Swami. Reviewers have called Radhanath's saga  "at once an engaging yarn, a love story, and the evocation of a transcendent paradise in all its savagery, solitude, and splendor.

Radhanath Swami emerged from his years of travel wanting to explain for others the beauty and rewards of a life devoted to God, and therein lay a dilemma. Radhanath Swami's many followers and friends describe him as completely selfless and consequently unwilling to take credit for his work and restless when a spotlight is focused on him. By choosing A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami (1896-1977), a Bengali Vaishnava Saint, as his guru (after declining offers of initiation from several tyagis or renunciants in the Himalayas), Radhanath Swami cast his fate to the wind, cut his matted locks, and entered back into the society.

RadhanathMaharaj.net gives us a complete collection of the teaching of Radhanath Swami. Teachings consists of Transcriptions of lectures delivered by Radhanath Swami at various places. This website is to inspire the followers of Radhanath Swami to practice the philosophy of Vaishanavism.

Expert Preaching of Narad Muni & Madhavacarya By Radhanath Swami

Translation: In this connection, I wish to narrate an old history, connected with the character of the king called (0.01.36 break of voice) please try to hear it with great attention.

Purport: By His divine grace A.C. Bhaktivedant Swami Prabhupada.

The great sage Narada Muni turned for another topic. The history of king Puranjana. This is nothing but the history of king Prachinibahishat, told in a different way. In other words this is an eligorical presentation. The word Puranjana means, one who enjoys in a body. This is clearly explained in the next few chapters. Because a person entangled in material activities wants to hear story of material activities. Narada Muni turned to the topics of king Puranjana, who is none other than king Prachinibahishat. Narada Muni did not however depricate the value of performing sacrifices, in which animals are sacrificed. Lord Buddha however, directly rejected all animal sacrificies.
