Fascinating and inspirational
Derived From Web , May 4, 2022
I've read all the books, but this was by far the best. The journey of traveling on faith and overcoming so many internal and external obstacles was such a fascinating and inspirational tale of faith and devotion, Raymond said.

True devotion

It will also likely cure you of any biases you might have about ISKON, because Radhanath is not only sincerely devoted, but has a deep well of spiritual wisdom to draw on.

An amazing read. One of the best.
Derived From Web , May 4, 2022
Pauley Kilpatrick's autobiography will be remembered for a long time as a result of recording his life. In “Shattered Glass,†Michael Schiavone writes of a young man and his quest for the truth. WOW! What a difference a week makes? It's great to be back home, Lord. There is no direct evidence that the two events are connected, the English Foreign Office said. Only then will there be one dedicated to Dr. Goin's work.

The story of the journey taken by Richard Slavin, who later became known as Radhanath Swami. Sir Richard was a great inspiration, said Blair.

The inspiration I needed!

Yes, I could not put his book down. It's just that dull moment when you think about it. I love the way it was written, Elizabeth. I have been blessed with hearing Radhanath's lectures, said Dr. Gopi.

Radhanath -- an extraordinary person
Derived From Web , Nov 2, 2019
I lived with Swaminath in West Virginia for many years. One day in December, it was freezing outside and we were all gathered around the fire in the bathhouse. He cq in all wet and stated that he had to give up outside bathing because the water froze the boards he was on and he couldn't stand up, Crosby said.

Lesson to be learn from each chapter
Derived From Web , Feb 6, 2019
Each chapter deals with a certain event that has happened to him and he tries to learn a lesson from it. I don't think a 21-year-old boy has the capacity to choose what is right and which path is the right path to spirituality, Raymond said. I believe his destiny was due to the fact so many celebrities back in the '60s and '70s have gone to this region in search of spiritual enlightenment, too, he said. Also, he lost his bag several times with passport and everything in it but all the sudden his passport reappears from thin air and able to acquire via. Simply put, the Beatles' music "was all over the place."

Doesn't Ring True
Derived From Web , Nov 21, 2018
I saw one or two skeptical reviews before I bought the book, and I thought they were just being cynical. After reading through the book, which I did enjoy, I was left with the feeling that he had embellished his tale, if not outright fabricated certain parts. It's a terrible spiritual memoir, one writer said.

Easily one of the best autobiographies and spiritual books I ...
Derived From Web , Jan 14, 2018
It blew me away, Graham said. He tells his story with such richness of subtle details and paints such a vivid picture of moving encounters and profound spiritual experiences of his journey that you feel you're there, sitting on his shoulder. A great book, one of the best autobiographies I have ever read. I read this on my Kindle but I'm buying the hardback or paperback edition as it deserves a prominent place on my bookshelf.
