Rita Bruce’s desperate quest for divine guidance in 1990s India reveals profound spiritual truths.
Amidst the turbulent socio-political landscape of the late twentieth century, Rita Bruce found herself in a personal crisis, seeking solace from a collapsing marriage and the broader chaos of civil unrest. Her journey led her to Sathya Sai Baba in India, where she received not only personal counsel but a direct mandate to document their encounters. This volume chronicles her transformation, blending personal narrative with the master’s practical teachings on emotional mastery, including specific physical techniques for neutralizing anger through posture and hydration.
This work sits within the lineage of modern Western esotericism that engages directly with Indian spiritual masters, reflecting the late twentieth-century surge in interest for Sathya Sai Baba’s teachings. It bridges personal memoir with practical occult philosophy, focusing on tangible methods for emotional regulation and spiritual alignment.

Grabbed this during a weekend order. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Shipping was quick too.
Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Some archaic spellings slow things down.
Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
My third book from this store and this one might be the best. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. It's become a regular reference in my practice. It assumes more background than a beginner might have.
I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. Shipping was quick too.
I keep coming back to this one. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.
This edition finally does the material justice. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. Shipping was quick too.
While compelling for those in spiritual distress, this volume may disappoint readers expecting rigorous theological debate or complex metaphysical theory. It is primarily a personal narrative focused on practical emotional mastery rather than abstract philosophy. Individuals seeking dense academic analysis of Sai Baba’s theology might find the approach too anecdotal or simplistic. However, for those valuing direct, experiential guidance and tangible techniques for managing anger, it serves as a valuable resource. The strength lies in its accessibility and the clarity of its practical instructions, though it lacks the depth required for scholarly inquiry into comparative religion or advanced esoteric studies.
