About the Book

"Osho, India and Me: A Tale of Sexual and Spiritual Transformation" by Jack Allanach (Swami Krishna Prem) is a deeply personal and transformative memoir that chronicles the author’s journey from a high-flying PR executive in Montreal to a disciple of the Indian mystic, Osho. The narrative begins with Jack’s moment of realization, "this is not me," as he seeks a new direction in life and finds himself on a plane to London, where his life takes an unexpected turn.

Through his relationship with Michael, a married man who becomes his lover, Jack embarks on a journey of self-discovery that takes him from the bustling streets of Bombay to the tranquil beaches and communes of India. Along the way, he and Michael take Sannyas and are given the spiritual names Krishna Prem and Divyananda. Their life with Osho becomes a quest for deeper meaning, spiritual awakening, and personal transformation.

The book offers a vivid account of life within the Osho commune in Pune, where Krishna Prem plays a crucial role in Osho’s press office, meeting with Indian leaders like Indira Gandhi and Morarji Desai, and interacting with international journalists. Through these experiences, the book delves into Osho’s controversial ideas on sex, consciousness, and mysticism.

This is a compelling, first-hand narrative that offers an intimate look into Osho’s world, filled with mysticism, past-life encounters, and profound spiritual growth. It is a tale of self-realization, transformation, and the pursuit of love in all its forms. A must-read for those intrigued by the intersections of spirituality, sexuality, and personal transformation.
