 My Rating-5/5

Publishing Date-8th March 2022

  Thanks to Netgalley for providing me the Advanced Review Copy of this book.  Being an Indian myself, I had some knowledge about the  self-proclaimed godman. Still, there were a lot of times while reading this book, I had goosebumps.

  This book explores how a common Indian man born in a middle class family fooled millions of people through his enigmatic personality and secured a luxurious lifestyle and fame for himself.

  While reading this book, I was dumbfounded by the level to which people became delusioned to the extent of leaving their children behind and becoming a'sanyasi'by the means adopted by this person including many highly educated people whose logical thinking capabilities went out of the door.

  The title of this book is the name of a city that this so-called godman established in America with even religious institutions dedicated to him.

  This book also explores the role played by the infamous Ma Anand Sheela,the righthand of this monster in the face of a human and also describes the extent to which she was ready to go to maintain her superior status in the so called 'Ashram' without any guilt.

 

  This book should be read by everyone as it would open your eyes and make you cautious of such criminals whose numbers has been increasing and who claim to be enlightened individuals and separate from all human desires while indulging and having their followers indulge  in every sinister activity possible.
