Produktbeschreibung
In 1973 I abandoned a promising academic career in Auckland, New Zealand, to spend seven years in India at the feet of such gurus as Bhagwan Rajneesh, Sathya Sai Baba and an enigmatic yogi in the Himalayan jungle Swami Balyogi Premvarni.

Rather than someone who could guide me towards the light, he turned out to be an unscrupulous psychopath who exploited me emotionally and sexually. I am grateful that I managed to wake up and escape. And survived to tell my tale.
