An Epic 1970 Overland Trek from Chicago to the Spiritual Ashrams of India

Radhanath Swami (born Richard Slavin) recounts his 1970 overland trek from suburban Chicago through Europe, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan to India. Traveling as a nineteen-year-old seeker on the historic hippy trail, Slavin encountered mystics, gurus, and extreme physical hazards along his route.

His autobiography chronicles his eventual settlement in Vrindavan, his adoption of Bhakti yoga traditions, and his conversion to monastic life, offering a vivid window into the 1970s counterculture spiritual movement.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Radhanath Swami delivers an inspiring, high-stakes chronicle of overland adventure and spiritual devotion. A classic memoir for readers of Eastern philosophy, Indian pilgrimages, and 1970s travel stories.
