Publisher's Synopsis
Warrior's Song: The Journey Home takes you on an adventure through childhood with a boy, through war in the jungles of Vietnam with a young U.S. Marine, into corporate boardrooms with an Information Technology Executive, and into the heart and soul of a seeker of Truth.
Along the way, Robert Anderson deepens his understanding of the warrior's values he learned in the Marine Corps: Honor, Courage, and Commitment. He meets his spiritual teacher, Gururaj Ananda Yogi, and the author's lifelong inquiry into life's deepest questions gathers greater substance: Who am I? Why am I here? Is there a place within the human heart that can experience true peace? As one reviewer says, "Warrior's Song is not the usual, run-of-the-mill book you read for a pastime! It is an intense book about a brave man who describes the gripping journey of a real U.S. Marine written from the depths of his heart. Some books you put down and don't pick up again. Not this one. You will pick it up time and time again." (See this review and more below.) The author takes you with him on his adventures around the world to diverse cultural settings and shares his fascination with physics, cosmology, music, and a practical philosophy of life. He surprises you with how he learned to apply an intuitive process to problem solving in business. Anderson has reverence, respect, and understanding for all religious traditions, and declares, "I believe that we are all fellow travelers on the same journey, and ultimately we will all arrive at the same home." PRAISE FOR WARRIOR'S SONGWITH HIS DECISION to join the Marine Corps, Bob Anderson found a discipline and a brotherhood that would never leave him in the combat environment of Southeast Asia. Applying this discipline to the remainder of his life, he began seeking truths in religion and philosophies. He found common positive truths in every religion. Robert's book is the autobiography of a dedicated and disciplined individual whom I have been privileged to know for many years. Alan H Barbour, Historian, U.S. Marine Corps Combat Helicopter Association FROM HIS SERVICE as a Marine in the Vietnam War to a successful career as a family man and business person, Robert Anderson's life is a search for spiritual truth. This search leads him to his Guru, and to a remarkable relationship between a soldier and an Indian spiritual master. Jeffrey Carr, Academic Dean of the School of the Pennsylvania Academy ROBERT EMERGED from the challenging combat conditions he faced in Vietnam armed with grit and strength to overcome the challenges in his life. He also realized a yearning for Truth. In his description of becoming grounded in the wisdom and love of Gururaj Ananda Yogi's teachings, Robert will draw you into the realization of Truth. His book will give you hope and, maybe, even bring you home.
