Will Court Action Outside India Expose Hired Killers In The Sathya Sai Cult
2012-01-21 01:39:00 There is a matter about which I should shortly be able to write. I understand that arrests have been made, money trails unearthed, dangerous and bloody forces exposed through hard evidence and testimony, and that court actions are about to unfold. I am told that a major media force is now preparing a documentary. It will be interesting to see how the International Sathya Sai Organization reacts. Many death threats are, of course, bluffs. Some come from idle nutters who rant or bunglers who don't get very far. But it is important, nonetheless, to keep whatever tracks may have been left by all who threaten. In regard to some types of information, with the assistance of our relevant professional members, we deal with Interpol or other government agencies. In Australia, I have dealt with the (then) head of Interpol in Australia, Paul Weller, and senior officials in DFAT (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade). Our USA members have dealt with the FBI and State Department, UK member...

Barry Pittard posted a vital Sai cult overview
2011-11-01 21:37:00 May I simply recommend for today the latest important summing-up of the Sathya Sai Baba situation by Barry Pittard:- Sathya Sai Baba Cult Now Distraught and Broken, Like Its Founder In Last Years Filed under: Gurus, Sathya Sai Baba Tagged: Barry Pittard, Sathya Sai cult
Sathya Sai Baba Cult Now Distraught and Broken, Like Its Founder In Last Ye
2011-10-31 21:46:00 Former devotee outreach to institutions was enormous, an international effort in which people from many professional, trade backrounds put did their best, first of all to warn of the danger of boys and young men coming into the orbit of Sathya Sai Baba. As the participants compared their experiences, evidence ? sometimes gut-sickening ? fast mounted. Other crimes and ethical betrayals came to our notice. To those coordinating activities, such as Glen Meloy, Hari Sampath, myself and, as time passed, Robert Priddy, the sheer volume and richness of evidence allowed many striking confirmations of the veracity of accounts. Many witnesses clearly had no knowledge of each other. Still further, evidence came in from sources well beyond former devotees. Sai Baba had not only practised his sexual and other abuses on his immediate followers but on others who were spiritual seekers traveling through India from one ashram to another.
Some Key Themes In Studying Sathya Sai Baba Cult
2011-09-26 11:08:00 This post is a resource - especially for those such as former devotees as well as people considering leaving the international Sathya Sai Organization, and investigators such as journalists, scholars, and religious, political, civic and other institutions this cult's officials tend to approach. We have had notable success in presenting our evidence such that many responsible organizations refuse to have anything to do with them. Below, selected from a much large corpus, I give thematic headings and link details to, and brief quotation from, articles I have written over time. In turn, these pieces contain further recondite links.
Video of Some Primary Witnesses of Sathya Sai Sex Abuse, and Sai Cult Cover
2011-07-26 01:46:00 Those of you who are psychologists, police etc., do please kindly confer with your colleagues who specialize in body language, and voice prints. There are those of us, including myself, who are happy to submit to FBI-certified lie-detector or today's other leading-edge tests for truthfulness. I here challenge Sathya Sai Baba's servitors, who stand accused, to undergo the same tests. My opinion of them, carefully formed over many years, is that they are too cowardly and too guilty ever to do so ....... These are but a couple of forensic areas where those in the Sathya Sai Central Trust and International Sathya Sai Organization can, I assert, be soundly exposed, and our witnesses around the world be shown to be telling the truth. Large numbers of former followers and other critics of Sathya Sai Baba and his Cult have been branded liars and deceivers. These we are not, as we wish to put beyond doubt as cases come are heard in properly-constituted Courts of law, television interviews...
Oprah Winfrey Show On Male Sexual Abuse: Sathya Sai Baba Cult Survivors Sho
2011-07-21 02:23:00 At this juncture of preparations to litigate against those in the Sathya Sai Organization or allied with it who have sexually abused, or permitted to be abused, I copy below some details and links relating to a November 2010 Oprah Winfrey Special on sexual abuse of males. It is important for those survivors of Sathya Sai Baba's and his accomplices serial wrongdoings to raise their awareness of a number of psychological and social issues, including various forms of remediation that are available. I had earlier spoken to an Oprah Winfrey producer about the Sathya Sai cult cases, but nothing came of it. Activists - strong in the truth and justice of their cause - who take on powerful antagonists invariably come to know two things especially. They learn how powerful vested interests are, and to what extraordinary lengths they will go to defame, libel, threaten and bully, and to distort and lie. They also know that only dogged persistence, unblinking, unyielding, will finally win the...

Sathya Sai Baba?s rumour mill a mainstay of the cult
2011-06-01 15:10:00 Rumours are a mainstay of Sai Baba’s fame Remarkably, however, his ashrams and movement are certainly far more subject to rumours and unconfirmable stories… and Sathya Sai Baba is in fact the chief rumour monger himself Sathya_Sai_Baba Rumours, failed predictions and false promises Distant healing, rumoured predictions by Sai Baba of world catastrophe circulated and ...

But that’s hard to do when they are the law. 9 billion in Sai Baba wealth can buy a lot of ...
Review "Soul Samurai": The Makings for a Cult Classic
2011-04-29 17:25:00 'Soul: the spiritual nature of a human being. Samurai: one bad mutha.' And so it begins... Infusion Theatre Company presents the Midwest premiere of SOUL SAMURAI. In futuristic New York City, a woman avenges the death of her lover. After witnessing Sally's savage killing, the helpless Dewdrop loses the glasses and trains in martial arts. As a super hero warrior, she protects innocents from the evil underworld. Her sidekick, Cert, aka Death CERTificate, has her back in the revenge crusade. Retribution turns pulp fiction as Dewdrop fights her way home. It's "Kill Bill" attacks the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to the sounds of Grandmaster Flash. SOUL SAMURAI is action theatre with a side of comic book. 'Smack!'
What Is A Cult? Does Sathya Sai Baba Preside Over A Servile, Worldwide Cult
2011-03-21 04:12:00 Is the Sathya Sai Organization a cult? It is a fair question. No careless use of terms will serve us well. We might also enquire - perhaps of our own selves, more than anyone else, whether there are significant cultic elements in those institutions we may too readily deem 'mainstream' or liveable-with, or somehow 'rational', 'normal', and so forth. Does not the human mind tend to cling to certain presumed verities? How would we do traveling, for a while, without them? Even if such 'verities' had some substance to them, does the clinging in itself nullify any more profound nurturing of our being that we would wish to be mediated via our belief systems? I pose questions, here, rather than wish to plunge into answers. Perhaps it is our human readiness to come up with answers, and structures and tenets that traps instead of frees us. Perhaps we need, first, to posit, for the sake of argument or simply the fun of it, that we are trapped in our 'verities' and 'solutions'...
Many Notable Sathya Sai Baba Cult Leaders Resign
2011-02-18 01:05:00 One of the potent, indirect damages to the Sathya Sai Organization comes via the concerned activities of very large numbers of those who are non-devotee family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers in the professions, business, fellow college and students, etc. These well-wishers of devotees actively confront followers in a way those such critical writers could never directly achieve. Sathya Sai Baba and his leaders tell followers that they must not look at the critical writing - especially on the internet - about their leader and organization. Fortunately, this constraint does not apply to those non-devotees who keenly wish for the well-being of those they know who are Sai Baba followers. This very large group of well-wishers who DO examine the critical material are often no fools at all, and come from many socio-cultural, educational backgrounds. They are able to form their own independent view about whether prominent critics write with acceptable tones of public discourse....

No minutes or records are available from official meetings in any of his organizations or trusts, no accounts ...

I'll be spending the day at rehearsals, which will be fab, but the most exciting part is seeing the actual show live! It airs November 30 on CBS. I've got my outfit covered - red Halston Heritage dress and black suede mega-tall ankle boots! But keeping up my beauty routine, in light of liquid restrictions on airport security, proved to be much more difficult to figure out.

2010-08-25 17:30:00 As the curtain raises on the second Division and Rush graphic novel serialization, we turn our eyes to the television screen. Oprah Winfrey has been threatening to leave Chicago for years, in what seems like an annual crisis, sending her fans in a tizzy. How predictable have her threats to move been? This story was one of two pitched as the opening Division and Rush parody, in June 2009. And so, we turn our eyes to Opa!, a talk show diva who has announced her intention to leave town. Alas, not all decisions are universally respected and it seems that Opa! may have attracted the loving attention of... The Cult of Low Self-Esteem. Click the art below to find out...
Dr G. VenkataramanWill Hollywood and Bollywood Dare To Take On The Cult The
2010-06-14 03:55:00 Through very separate channels, I have learnt that there have been discussions in different parts of the movie-making world about what approaches to scripting, venue, demographics, legal issues, and so forth, might best lend themselvest to portraying the story of a guru so controversial and 'larger-than-life' as Sathya Sai Baba. With the above thoughts in mind, as I was looking at a few articles and it struck me how many impactful stories, if followed to their roots, there would be in so much work of the more serious and competent critics of Sathya Sai Baba. Wide publics have a thirst for murder and mayhem. This does not lack on Sathya Sai Baba's bloody trail. Whether enough audiences can be persuaded to view often-tabooed and acutely distressing themes such as serial sexual abuse is a moot point. One of the top handful of former police chiefs in the world told me that he considered Sathya Sai Baba as plausibly the master criminal of the 20th century. (To reputed media or other...

On Leaving A Powerful Global Cult. Sathya Sai Baba Example (Part 3)
2010-01-27 23:39:00 This post continues On Leaving the Sathya Sai Baba Cult ? Ex Leaders and Rank-and-File and On Leaving A Powerful Global Cult. Sathya Sai Baba Example (Part 2) ----------------------------- I spoke by phone and corresponded with a number of former devotee sexual abuse professionals who knew of various cases at first hand. These included Shirley Pike and the late Elena Hartgering. They and other seasoned professional workers were in no doubt of the fact that Sathya Sai Baba had seriously sexually molested young males. As I listened to, or read, the written accounts of both primary and secondary witnesses, I was acutely aware that many of those giving the accounts did not even know each other. Once it was known I was investigating Sathya Sai Baba's matters, I went on to discover compelling accounts from sources well apart from Sathya Sai Baba circles. Having studied Epistemology, Logic and Methodology in my university Philosophy course, I was ever more aware that the required cri...
On Leaving A Powerful Global Cult. Sathya Sai Baba Example (Part 2)
2010-01-26 00:42:00 This article continues from: On Leaving the Sathya Sai Baba Cult ? Ex Leaders and Rank-and-File There was a feeling of truthfulness in the accounts of the authors, and I contacted them. They were - Terry Gallagher (who had resigned as head of the Sathya Sai Organization after rigorously investigating), Hans de Kraker (Australia, who for a number of years ran the Western Canteen at Puttaparthi), Jens Sethi (Germany), David Bailey (who had a rare closeness to Sathya Sai Baba, and an almost unprecedented plenipotentiary role), Hari Sampath (India), Glen Meloy and many others from the USA, such as Sharon Purcell (co-founder of the earliest Sathya Sai Baba center in the USA), Al Rahm (U.S.A., a major organization leader, and, in that country, head of the largest Sathya Sai Baba commune, and founder of the first Sai school). I contacted Britt-Marie (Bi-ma) Andén (former head of Swedish Sathya Sai Organization and a key figure Sathya Sai Baba Education in Human Values movement), and Con...
Global Sathya Sai Cult White-ants Itself
2010-01-18 22:57:00 Why is the Sathya Sai Baba cult so vulnerable? What is its 'archilles heel'? Part of the answer is exemplified in the information that comes to us from those who, to greater and lesser degree, have been Puttaparthi insiders, such as students and former students of Sathya Sai Baba education institution and former leaders. They attest that, when they read blogsites such as this one and the blogsites and websites of others such as Robert Priddy and Brian Steel, they realize from the very first that our sources are frequently spot-on. This means that, along with apostasy in regard to Sai Baba round the world, such knowledge is held far beyond the resources of any of the critical commentators. Those levels of permeation errode the Sai project in ways well-exceeding the efforts of a few writers. In short, the Sathya Sai cult is its own worst enemy. The corruptions and suppressions are the 'white ants' which bring it down. Yet even if - somehow - it were reformed, it would surely rem...

On Leaving the Sathya Sai Baba Cult ? Ex Leaders and Rank-and-File
2009-11-20 11:43:00 In 1999, came the publication (August-September) of three articles in a piece entitled: Sathya Sai Baba Exposed. These had been taken up from other sources by the editor, Duncan Roads, who, quite separately and via his own sources in Australia, had suffered his own disillisionment in Sai Baba. A person close to me, who knew well that I had deafened my ears to anything inimical to Sathya Sai Baba, strongly urged me to read these articles, one of which was by the (then) head of the Australian Sathya Sai Organization, Terry Gallagher, an agricultural scientist and businessman of Kyama, in the state of New South Wales on Australia's eastern seaboard. Terry Gallagher?s had come to realise ? between 1986 and 1993 (the latter being the year of the grisly police executions in Sai Baba?s bedroom) that grave matters had been profoundly covered up, not only by the ashram officials but by local, state and central governments. Those who eventually leave commonly do not leave suddenly. There ...
The Cult of Ayn Rand
2009-11-14 18:35:00 Neither God nor Devil -- Daniel J. Flynn (City Journal) reviews two revealing biographies of the founder of "Objectivism": Anne C. Heller's Ayn Rand and the World She Made (Nan A. Talese, October 2009), and Jennifer Burns' Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right Oxford UP, October 2009).:The man most responsible for making the Objectivist movement adopt a cult of personality was Nathaniel Branden, so devoted to Objectivism that he incorporated Rand’s last name into his own. Libertarian moralizers, such as Branden, unconsciously adopted some of the uglier qualities of the extreme collectivists whom they railed against. While purporting to be the antitheses of Hitler and Stalin, Objectivists conducted star-chamber trials, demanded that followers denounce relatives, and imitated Rand’s aesthetic tastes (smoking, Mickey Spillaine: good; mustaches, Shakespeare: bad). “A slip of the tongue by an Objectivist who liked Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho or secretly didn’t...
A new cult classic you have to see to believe
2009-10-29 18:11:00 What do you call a very low-budget indie film about the Vietnam War, featuring fake-looking violence, a lot of casual conversation and starring everyone from Danica McKellar ("The Wonder Years") to J.C. Chasez (N'Sync) to Faye Dunaway ("Bonnie and Clyde")?There's no punchline to that joke. It's not a joke at all--we'll, it's not meant to be. Technically a real movie, "21 and a Wakeup," opening Friday at the Gene Siskel Film Center, is the most unintentionally hilarious film I've seen in a long, long time. Someday I predict/hope that this will be shown in cheap movie houses at midnight, for people to gather and celebrate its awfulness.This is of course with all due respect to those who were actually involved...

Petition For Official Investigation Into Sathya Sai Baba Cult
2009-07-10 00:00:00 A key difficulty facing an authoritarian, suppressive, unaccountable sect such as the Sathya Sai Organization is this: When there are serious scandals being hushed up, there is -: organized, networked dissent and public exposure, and in other ways quiet disruption and internal decay that happens quite apart from formal, focused, widespread efforts. the exponential spread of crisis for the organization. The well-informed leaders of "the Secret Swami's" (c.f. the BBC) know and suffer the effects of these three factors. It suits them to allow ignorant and unconscionable voices to attack those who have responsibly and clearly raised the issues in various parts of the world.
A Cult?s Powerful Grip. (Sathya Sai Baba Sect Example)
2009-06-29 03:16:00 Since leaving Sathya Sai Baba in October 1999, I have counted around 10 major 'flags' that I myself ignored. The realization of most of these resistances only occurred over time. Coming out of the spell's grip is a painful, arduous process. Approached with rigorous self-questioning and the company of loving, caring and insightful individuals, the process can be full of learning, personal renewal, and a sense of release from hard-held self-concepts. One confronts oneself, far more than anyone or anything else.
