Tal Brooke
Tal Brooke - former Baba devotee The following are excerpts from Tal Brooke's book "Lord of the air" ( Harvest House Publishers.) According to him, he was once one of the most intimate western devotees of Sathya Sai Baba, and his account tells of a many months of descent into dark regions of spirituality after the excitement of the 'new-found enlightened master' to a state of psycho-physical exhaustion, due to the continuous psychological stress induced by Baba, not least also due to malnutrition, because of the poor and cheap food in Baba's canteens. After having discovered the "hidden and dark side" of Baba, the author left that circle (or rather he escaped from India), and became Christian. This book perhaps also contains the first open account of Sai Baba's sexual misconduct and for this reason, always according to the author, it was censored and retired/destroyed when published in India. Quoted here are those passages referring
