The second book by Hislop on Sathya Sai Baba contained many much more extraordinary materials about alleged Sai miracles that Hislop claims to have experienced through many of his years of being a follower. The scan from the preface on the right sets the tone of the book, which tone I characterize as a product of what by then was a completely uncritical, highly indoctrinated, and suggestible mind. Hislop’s writing about his Lord and Master almost reeks of naivety or gullibility, but even so, it is not taken to the excessive lengths of subservient mind-boggled pseudo-poetry of the ‘official biographer’ Professor N. Kasturi or of biographical devotees like Smt. Vijaya Kumari (‘Vijayamma’)
