Remarkable Journey of Self-discovery!

I really enjoyed this audio book, especially since I didn't have to struggle with the Sanskrit words. . I was impressed by the author's focus and devotion at such a young age. This book was well written and read by the author. On my own path to self-discovery, I am inspired by the story.

This book has changed my life

A story that had to be told. It is God’s plan to get these stories out to those who need to hear it and read it and understand it - it is that everything in life happens for a reason - to let go and let God.

As a Muslim I’ve yet to read on a journey of a man so profoundly beautiful, scary and so profoundly meaningful and all with the single goal of finding his way to God.

Appreciate the wisdom he shared.

Just WOW!!!

What a beautiful story that is well written/told also! This story is very inspiring and so happy to hear the story told from the voice of the author.

Life’s Most Adventurous Journey

I feel I am so fortunate so I got the change to hear this audio book.

Most importantly it is so great to hear in the Author’s Voice.

Inspiring and Life changing

There were several positive things
1) The narration quality is excellent. The author is a natural story teller and has deep and contemplative voice. Use of various background sounds enhanced the hearing experience.
2) The humility of the author is inspiring. During his numerous unique encounters, I never heard him once criticizing a spiritual path, religion or person.
3) The habit of the author to take valuable lessons from both positive and negative encounters in life was inspiring.

A true gem

This book is a true gem. I would recommend it to anyone interested in spirituality. Fantastic storytelling and production make it a pleasure to listen to. It is captivating in every aspect.

ABSOLUTELY MUST READ

There are many reviews of this book and all are outstanding. I don’t know what I can add to that, only that I URGE you to listen to this story. It has so many good and tender moments. So much you can learn from the author’s life experiences.
The background music adds to the ambiance of the book.
The author, Radhanath Swami is also the narrator, which added to the story. DO NOT OVERLOOK THIS BOOK!!
My thanks to all involved, JK.
