Sathya Sai Baba?s 84?th Birthday [2009]
2009-11-22 15:03:00 On Monday (23 November), Sathya Sai Baba’s 84th birthday will be celebrated at his ashram Prashanthi Nilayam. However, the only documentary and objective evidence available strongly indicates that this date is a falsification and that he was actually born on October 4 1929! This makes for what `Humpty Dumpty in Alice in Wonderland famously called an ...
Sai Baba?s hand-washing hypocrisy on display
2009-11-20 11:19:00 Sathya Sai Baba claims to be behind all things that happens, so – by the same preposterous claim – he is necessarily to blame for everything that is wrong. Yet he denies this and puts the responsibility for everything that is not good on us in every respect and every instance! This Janus faced teaching, ...
Human Values ? Sai Baba?s truncated ideas
2009-11-19 12:16:00 The values according to or against which we act are unavoidable and essential links that tie together personal perceptions and judgements, motives and actions into the sphere of common cultural values.

Hidden Fear of the Avatar
2009-11-03 17:46:00 HIDDEN FEAR OF ‘THE AVATAR’ Sathya Sai Baba’s refusal to explain anything other than what pleases himself makes it difficult to have confidence in many of the statements he makes on whatever subject, quite apart from what concerns the ‘unseen’ world of spiritual realities. Sathya Sai Baba ’s demand is that the devotee has implicit and ...
?The Guru Papers?: censorship and manipulative control of followers? minds
2009-10-28 09:09:00 Yet more quotations on gurus which apply with full force to Sathya Sai Baba, who inists he is perfect and pure, despite countless testimonies to the contrary! The title “The Guru Papers – Masks of Authopritarian Power” encapsulates the matter most succinctly. By holding gurus as perfect and thus beyond ordinary explanations, their presumed specialness ...
More from the Guru Papers ? on sexual abuse
2009-10-27 10:24:00 ‘The Guru Papers’ by Joel Kramer and Diane Alstead is a major work exposing the exploitation of authoritarian power by gurus.

The Guru Papers: Masks of Authoritarian Power
2009-10-27 00:52:00 by Joel Kramer and Diana Alstad. Published: Frog, Ltd., Berkeley, California; 1993 Some quotes from Part One of the Guru Papers have been supported as having striking accuracy in describing cult gurus and the dynamics involved. This is not least true of Sathya Sai Baba, who fits the bill entirely as such a guru exploiting his ...
The Guru Papers ? and Sathya Sai Baba
2009-10-25 14:54:00 Sathya Sai Baba is a typical Indian guru both in his claims, his methods and the way he relates to those who become his followers. How well he fits the pattern of self-professing avatars, ’spiritual teachers’ and how typical are his methods of manipulating his followers can be see in great detail by studying the ...
Sai Baba?s astrological superstitions: gulikakala and rahukala

Sai Baba: his life is his Message
2009-10-20 11:12:00 One of the main things that, beside his followers, still many think is in favor of Sathya Sai Baba are his “teachings”. Of course there are several ways to “teach” but at least in action he does not seem to teach a lot. Most objective people (including many devotees and followers) I know find ...
Sathya Sai Baba on the physical sciences
2009-10-19 19:55:00 In many hundreds of discourses, published and personally approved by himself, Sathya Sai Baba had made a very large number of statements which exhibit a degree of ignorance and lack of learning and understanding that one would expect from a villager with only a very elementary education.

Sathya Sai Baba: opulence, show, extravagance and waste
2009-10-17 23:55:00 One cultural difference between many devotees from the East and the West is the attitude towards show and extravagance. It originally appealed greatly to spiritual Westerners that Sai Baba’s life was an example in living without material luxuries and in an eco-friendly, non-consumerist way. His doctrine was very markedly against waste of money, time, energy ...
Moreno?s bawdy blogs and few supporters
2009-10-15 22:46:00 Gerald Moreno shows a lot of ingenuous ingenuity of the brand used by tabloid papers, twisting things, omitting all details which go against his great goal, to twist and discredit practically everything that has been written to reveal the secret nature of Sathya Sai Baba. This puts Mr. JGM’s mindset in question, catering as ...
Queen Elizabeth ?manipulated? by omnipresent Sathya Sai Baba?
2009-10-15 14:40:00 In a remarkably ill-advised propaganda web page posted by the Australian Sathya Sai Organization, the claim was made, virtually, that the Queen of England was manipulated by the self-proclaimed omnipresent, omnipotent Sathya Sai Baba… as is seen in the last sentence in the screen capture of parts of the webpage as shown below – which ...
Sai Baba God Incarnate needs Duke of Edinburgh endorsement?
2009-10-14 11:41:00 There was a furore when The Guardian published an article about how one of the many thousands of young recipients of the Duke of Edinburgh Award wrote the name of Sathya Sai Baba instead of his own.

THE INTERNATIONAL SATHYA SAI ORGANIZATION
2009-10-09 10:33:00 The Sathya Sai Organisation – an evaluative overview Here I summarise what it took me about 18 years to find out through experience, often disillusioning, about the Sathya Sai Organisation (SSO).

Further genital oiling, kundalini claims and more

Sathya Sai Baba and Organization condone hate campaign
2009-10-05 17:14:00 Top propagandists for God Incarnate and the cult around him Dr. M. Goldstein stated on the BBC documentary ‘The Secret Swami’ that Sathya Sai Baba had told him not to answer any criticisms.

Gerald Moreno and his pathological denial
2009-10-05 17:09:00 After virtually ignoring the vast majority of the constant attacks on a wide range of web outlets by Moreno for some years as below contempt, the sheer volume and nastiness decided me (in April 2009) to expose at some length for the unwitting public some of the most obvious untruths he spreads, and to summarise ...
Thorbjørn Meyer: Is Democracy Such A Good Idea?
2009-10-05 00:06:00 My regular readers will have noticed my use of - not uncommonly - phrases of the sort: Sathya Sai Baba and certain of his core leaders. Worthy leaders have their assistants or followers; oppressive ones have their henchmen. Thorbjørn Meyer, European Central Coordinator of the Sathya Sai Organization, is regarded by a number who know him well as being of the henchman variety. Meyer's lack of accountability is great. Abandoned are essential values of democratic accountability, as if they had never been heard of. This is of course true in regard to various other key Sathya Sai Baba leaders; however, Meyer is one of the foremost of the guru's leaders, and his accountability the greater. He is right at the hub of the cover up of Sathya Sai Baba, and of his monumental spiritual betrayal, and of the suppression of serious crimes that would, were India far more properly democratic, be investigated as a matter of course. Robert Priddy, when head of the Sathya Sai Organization, knew...
Sathya Sai Baba oils genitals (boys/young men) Part 1
2009-10-04 13:04:00 It is now a wholly undisputed fact, even among many leading devotees (for example, the European Central Coordinator of the Sathya Sai Organisation, Thorbjørn Meyer) that Sathya Sai Baba takes down the trousers of many young men and boys and handles their genitals intimately, rubbing on oil and sometimes also so-called ‘holy ash’. Many report ...
Gerald Moreno ? in the Sathya Sai Baba lunatic fringe
2009-10-02 22:36:00 Let us take a peep into the mind of Gerald Moreno, the fanatical believer in miracles and Sai Baba’s powers.

Sathya Sai Baba and Dr G.Venkataraman: Will They Disavow Their Idi Amin Fon
2009-10-01 23:09:00 Deputy head of the international Satahya Sai Organization and Head of Sai Global Radio G. Venkataraman?s ?Mr Idi Amin? Report (/Journals/Vol_05/01JAN07/11-pr-asanthi-diary) stands as an appalling affront to those who suffered at this monstrous dictator's hands. Note how Venkataraman, on Sai Global Radio, refers to Mr Idi Amin. I may add that it is interesting that Amin claimed to have a direct line to God. Did he have in mind, specifically, Sathya Sai Baba? Perhaps Amin scholars may have something among their files, and can let us all know. Here is what G. Venkataraman wrote:
Sai Baba claims embarrass officials ? who cover them up
2009-09-29 15:16:00 The Sathya Sai Baba official website [www.sathyasaiorg] has recently been weeded of some of the main propaganda that it formerly contained. Among what were long considered the very most important items were four ‘key’ discourses given by Sai Baba where he makes his mega-claims about himself. For decades these have been seen by his officials ...
Dr G. Venkataraman, Sathya Sai Baba?s Nuclear Boon Companion
2009-09-29 00:18:00 Robert Priddy is the former long-time head of the Sathya Sai Organization in Norway and a retired philosopher in the Social Sciences, University of Oslo. He has written insightfully on the extraordinary, often procrustean efforts of Sathya Sai Baba's head of Puttaparthi propaganda programs to rationalise his beliefs in Sathya Sai Baba. Though not a physical (actually, nuclear) scientist like Dr G. Venkataraman, he has an abiding interest in the sciences, and how a certain variety of scientists, in a great minority but with unfortunate influence far beyond their importance, falsely use science to buttress up their religious claims. The following information may be of particular value for journalistic and scholarly investigators, and also those institutions and agencies which the Sathya Sai cult in many countries attempts to influence - but without portraying their real agendas. For those who may like to hunt and peck among Priddy's writings on G. Venkataraman, I have excerpted fro...
Most Former Sathya Sai Devotees Respond Without Hatred
2009-09-26 01:40:00 Here is a quite typical note from a defender of Sathya Sai Baba, and the reply from one who is no long partial to him. The writer had written a number of emails to the recipient, who did not retaliate to any of the points. Some of the language of the other emails was couched more unkindly than anything in the following. The former devotee responded because of the basic decency and sincerity of the person who wrote:
Sathya Sai Baba?s unforgiving talk of forgiveness

Many ridicule or criticise Me.” (ibid, p. 168.) Note that the ‘Me’ ...
End of the Sathya Sai Baba Dream
2009-09-24 16:16:00 In 2000 I resigned as National Contact person of the Sathya Sai Organization in Norway after 18 years fulfilling that role. This was no easy decision, since I did not believe that the allegations of sexual abuse could be true, even though I knew that Sathya Sai Baba was deeply involved in the massive cover-up ...

P.M. A.B. Vajpayee?s deceits and cover-ups
2009-09-21 14:05:00 The former Prime Minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, is exposed further as a cover-up merchant of class. About the nuclear tests in 1998, he proclaimed: “”India is now a nuclear weapons state. We have the capacity for a big bomb now.” This provoked Pakistan to explode a nuclear device 15 days later. The scientist ...
Sai Baba group claims miracles ? seeks donations
2009-09-20 20:22:00 The latest super-naive followers of the two Sai Baba’s in Queens, New York – also worshippers of various Indian deities besides – are claiming (with a video) that Sai Baba performed miracles at their temple by moving helium balloons about so that they “worshipped his feet”. The alleged ‘miracle’ (leela) is accepted totally uncritically by ...

Sathya Sai sees Hanuman as a real figure
2009-09-17 10:31:00 Hanuman, a great devotee of the mythical Rama, was a ‘monkey man’ who supposedly jumped dozens of miles – and also carried a whole mountain so a healing herb could be picked from it. And he makes very clear that this is no myth for Sai Baba. Sathya Sai sees Hanuman as a real figure ...
The beguiling half-truth, backbone of deceivers
2009-09-14 20:37:00 The inexpressible ‘Truth’ of which Sathya Sai Baba ever talks – which he says is both eternal and not graspable by any human mind (excluding his supposedly Divine mind) – is of such a transcendent and metaphysical nature that he admits it cannot even be expressed. Yet he constantly tells us he is telling us ...
Sai Baba censorship of facts, spreading of half-truths and untruth
2009-09-13 15:47:00 Everyone who stays at – or even visits – a Sathya Sai Baba ashram must tread most cautiously both literally and figuratively. The excreta of rubbish-scrounging pi-dogs and troops of monkeys are hardly a problem compared to the conspiracies of silence and secrecy which are enforced on all who enter there so as to keep ...
Wikipedia harassment by pro-Sai Baba activists
2009-09-12 15:01:00 For the sake of setting the record straight concerning harassment on Wikipedia, I repost the following points from the Requests for Arbitration discussion.

Sai Baba and inanimate cloth objects come to life?
2009-09-10 12:06:00 The “literally incredible case of the weeping saris”: Sathya Sai Baba has proclaimed – and is hailed as such – that he is the only (and fullest possible) reincarnation of Vishnu, Rama and Krishna here today. Among the supposed evidence for this a somewhat bottomless pit of mythological and fantastic stories are presented about ...
Gerald Moreno?s empty words and threats
2009-09-07 13:51:00 Here one sees the obsessively self-justificatory and irrational Gerald Moreno in full aggressive bloom trying to make a mountain out of a molehill again. He has attacked me – along with countless other ex-followers of Sathya Sai Baba – dissidents in every way he can devise and contrive throughout the Internet. He is a trickster ...
The Prophet of the Age ? Vishnu reborn?
2009-09-06 10:12:00 The following claimant to be yet another Vishnu reincarnation come to save the world is described:- One might have though it was referring to Sathya Sai Baba – until we read that “the great saints and sages of India have always shunned publicity and do so to this day!” The whereabouts of Sathya Sai Baba are ... |
