Reports of Sathya Sai Central Trust Van Laden With Treasure Seized By Andhr
2011-06-19 01:04:00 FLASH This story seems only broken as yet via the India Today television news channel. Overnight (Australian Eastern Standard Time), a usually reliable source of ours with Andhra Pradesh-related police sources reported that Andhra Pradesh State Police have intercepted a Sathya Sai Central Trust van heavily laden with treasure, and arrested three. It seems that the driver has confessed to being an employee of the Trust. Key words noted in the India Today news segment include: "Puttaparthi cash haul"??. " huge cash seized from Sai Baba trust van"???. "Sathya Sai Trust van intercepted and huge cash haul in bags" ??" Van and occupants arrested in Kodikonda checkpost in Ananthapur" ....... "driver confesses being Sathya Sai trust van driver coming from Puttaparthi"??.. "cash seized being held on the spot" ...?currency counting machines being rushed to the spot"

?Secret Swami? (Late) Sai Baba: Vast Millions In Hoard Found Hidden In His
2011-06-18 01:27:00 Yesterday, I blogged on an email we received from an Indian correspondent long known to us, and included a number of links to the last 24 hours or so of Indian press reportage of the huge stash of money and valuables secreted in Sathya Sai Baba's palatial private quarters. See: Sathya Sai Baba?s Residence Unlocked. Vast Treasury Uncovered. In the last two days, the Indian media has just tapped a treasury of potent news to shake up and down in its headlines. Of course, making up for lost time in factual reportage on Sathya Sai Baba is out of the question; for it has an extremely poor record of almost all sections in publishing critically on Sathya Sai Baba. But now - not least at a time when many Sai Baba devotees are starting to speak out and ask accountability and transparency questions - the Indian media can hardly fail to report properly on matters such as the huge treasure hoard just opened up, many unanswered questions about the circumstances of Sai Baba's illness and death...

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 ...

The failing International Sai Organization, its dilemmas and unpopularity
2011-05-30 14:18:00 The International Sai Organization is evidently struggling even harder than before to try to create some attractions to followers. During the last years, Sathya Sai Baba said nothing new and has been unavailable to all but a limited number of persons around him. The Sai Organization has always struggled to recruit new members, managing only ...
Sathya Sai Baba physical death prediction on chakranews.com
2011-05-28 23:03:00 See chakranews: dirty tricks campaign – deleting comments selectively: The Hindu website chakranews.com has an article defending the (wholly fallacious) notion that Sathya Sai Baba’s prediction of when he would die is fulfilled. They invited postings and I provided reasonable but critical comments, never using invective (as so many there do). I found a posting ...
Sathya Sai Baba reckoned in calendar years, not ?lunar years?
2011-05-27 14:26:00 In attempts to save Sathya Sai Baba?s death prediction from ridicule, the Sathya Sai authorities have been claiming that he reckoned his age in lunar years, not calendar years. However, Sathya Sai Baba certainly reckoned in calendar years, which is evident from the following quotes from his published discourses. There are no published discourse anywhere ...
Controversy on Sathya Sai Baba?s suspicious death
2011-05-25 11:54:00 An Indian news outlet recently posted the following: “Former Minister G Nagi Reddy accused Sri Sathya Sai trust members for the death of Sathya Sai Baba.” If and when I receive a translation of the Telugu, it will be posted on this blog. ( http://thatstelugu.oneindia.in/-grapevine/2011/nagi-reddy-accus-es-sri-sathya-sai-trust-210511--aid0070.html). All the information usually available to the public when a ...
Resurrection of Sathya Sai Baba already?
2011-05-20 15:10:00 Has Sathya Sai Baba resurrected himself as so many claimed he would and will? And, if so, could it be that he has done so in a different form? Sathya Sai Baba always claimed to be the reincarnation of Krishna (and Vishnu, Rama and others). The Krishna mythology tells how he could replicate his body ...

Sathya Sai Organization?s creeping sickness within
2011-05-18 20:29:00 In 2010 the situation for Sathya Sai people in Russia was highlighted by the usual crises about imitators of Sathya Sai Baba and the problems with breakers of the Organization’s stringent censorship rules. That there are only 100 members (70% probably inactive!) in the huge city of Moscow tells its own story… and this was ...
Sai Baba ? ?The Hindu? allows criticism
2011-05-16 12:04:00 After many years of virtual subservience to Sathya Sai Baba and his doctrines, combined with refusal to entertain the views of critics – not even answering our letters – and nothing but virtual promotional articles of Sathya Sai Baba as endorsers of his sainthood, ‘The Hindu’ has at last relented somewhat. It has allowed a ...
Sathya Sai Central Trust decisions
2011-05-13 14:25:00 Those who run the Sathya Sai Central Trust now have decided that the power of cheque signing will devolve on three trustees, the nephew of Sathya Sai Baba, and two others. The Times of India posted an unclear typo-ridden article (see on right). The untrustworthy and corrupt P.N. Bhagwati (read all about him!) holds the ...
Sathya Sai Baba?s death and inscrutability
2011-05-11 21:21:00 Secrecy and clandestine cover-ups Hardly a single important circumstance concerning the recent health, hospitalization, treatment, or the time and immediate cause of death of Sathya Sai Baba has not been surrounded by secrecy, disinformation and ill-concealed controversy and power struggles between contestants for a role in the multi-billion dollar financed goings-on. This can be seen ...
Sathya Sai Baba in The Guardian
2011-05-07 11:11:00 The Guardian, UK, is one of the world’s most respected newspapers due to its careful investigation and serious, level-headed reporting. It does not fear taking a critical approach where deemed necessary, as its reports in the past on Sathya Sai Baba bear witness. This is also the case with the latest article, from which the ...
Sathya Sai Baba?s death and ?mahasamadhi?
2011-05-06 14:41:00 In their understandable desperation to believe in the divinity of Sathya Sai Baba, countless hysterical Indian followers – not least the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi and other ‘luminaries’ are deathly silent about the fact that Sathya Sai Baba’s death was totally unlike those India has previously required of its holy men and women ...

Sathya Sai Baba education in Satyajit?s hands
2011-05-04 16:33:00 The division of the spoils goes on – mostly behind tightly closed doors – but Satyajit, Sathya Sai Baba’s No. 1 ‘boyfriend’ and roommate for so many years has been allocated some responsibility… not one which promises any serious financial gain. Money matters will be kept for the Trust panjandrums and several cover-up, corrupted persons ...
Sathya Sai Baba devotees? fervour and press reactions
2011-05-02 22:02:00 The debate in India is developing slowly towards some kind of near-sanity about their omnipresent ‘godmen’ as they call them (though the godwoman Amma is also a top player). This is, however, confined to the more respectable media outlets, and some of the top newspapers have to be said to be sticking to myth beyond ...

Sathya Sai Baba 96 years old at death? Lunar year confusions
2011-04-27 17:56:00 The Sathya Sai Organization’s official website presents a confused ‘explanation’ as to how Sai Baba, who died long before his 92nd, 93rd or 96th year, actually was 96 years old nevertheless, not calendar years but ‘lunar years’! One does not have to look deeply to find the falsification, as I shall demonstrate. As is usual ...
Sathya Sai Baba News ? Funeral problems
2011-04-27 01:53:00 The funeral ceremony caused massive disturbances of one kind and another. Due to the Indian authorities’ total disregard of the well-being of the populace, which was demonstrated by their usual ultra-tight security arrangement for VVIPs, those in Puttaparthi were cynically left without food or drink! Here is the report from The Times of India, Apl ...

Sathya Sai Baba ? succession ploys
2011-04-25 12:51:00 For those still in denial, Sathya Sai Baba actually died, yes, at April 24 at 7 a.m. Indian Time and one should rest assured that will not be resurrecting himself! Claimants to be a reincarnation of Sathya Sai Baba will certainly arise, (i.e. as ‘Prema Sai’ indeed, a few already have!!). For this is poor ...
Sathya Sai Central Trust Says ?millions and millions? of Devotees Worldwide
2011-04-25 08:29:00 Below is the report of The (UK) Guardian's report on Sathya Sai Baba's death yesterday morning. I shall exerpt from, and comment on, it.
Sathya Sai Baba Is Dead. Said He Would Rule the World and Die Aged 96
2011-04-24 14:23:00 Sathya Sai Baba died today, Sunday morning. A Puttaparthi hospital official says: "Sai Baba is no more with us physically. He breathed his last at 7:40am and died due to cardio-respiratory failure." The self-described fullest incarnation of God ever to visit the earth has been clearly documented as saying that he would live until circa 2022, aged 96. But 85 years of age cannot, by any miracle, be said to be 96. And well-documented promises that he would rule the world before leaving it have clearly not even begun to look at all likely. His devotees - with many sections of unquestioning sections the media following them - speak, as a Sathya Sai Central Trust bulletin of only days ago, of "millions and millions" of devotees around the world. See: Sathya Sai Trust Officials Say Sai Baba Out of Hospital Soon. Posted by Barry Pittard on April 16, 2011. This statement appeared in the long and anxiously awaited "Important Press Release by Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust", Friday, Ap...
Sathya Sai Baba?s death ? no miracles
2011-04-24 08:55:00 The death of Sathya Sai Baba was wrongly predicted by him, he did not live into his 90s as he prophesies on numerous occasions! Yet another false boast, and one which confounds all the devotees who blindly believed his words and in his divinity. He died a sick man, in more sense than one! As ...
Sathya Sai Baba Teaches: ?We are not this body?. Why Are His Devotees Such
2011-04-24 00:26:00 Cited several times in the Indian media's sudden, unaccustomed, large coverage of Sathya Sai Baba, are accounts of "eminent" Sai devotees stating that he will not die because he has promised to remain in the physical body until he is 96 years. Outside India, the notion of outstanding professionals giving credence to such way-out beliefs must seem strange. For the facts to sink in to a foreign brain, one has to live and work in India. One has to experience at first hand the sheer extent of superstition from top to bottom in that society of such mutual kindness and cruelty, beauty and tragedy. Valiantly, many Indians struggle on behalf of sense and reason, but what they face is formidable in the extreme. The Times of India reports: Sai Baba's devotees believe he will live for 96 years IANS, Apr 21, 2011, 03.45pm IST ...................
Barry Pittard?s Articles Most-Sought During Sathya Sai Baba Health Crisis (
2011-04-23 08:39:00 In that the links may be useful for readers - especially those new to, or less familiar, with this blogsite - I shall give below a list of Urls (Part 1 of 3) at this blogsite which, as I can see from an internal statistical read-outs, are getting solid 'hits'.

Our allied blogsites and websites, such as Robert Priddy's highly organized main website: Sathya Sai Baba In Word and Action and his blogsite: Sathya Sai Baba Deceptions Exposed and from the general website Exbaba.comwhich contains a huge amount of contribution by former devotees from many countries.

Andhra Opposition Want Release of Gvt Spies? Reports On Sathya Sai Baba
2011-04-22 13:36:00 One may raise the question: why would four very experienced Andhra Pradesh intelligence operatives between them keep round-the-clock watch, that has been continued unabated for four years, on affairs at Puttaparthi? What else might they wish to know? After all, inner-circle Puttaparthi corruption is common knowledge among Indian state and central governments? Because Sai Baba has so many billionaire and millionaire supporters, the dimensions of the wealth flowing to the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust are on a scale that beggars the imagination. A speculation: By any chance, is the intensified interest related to extremely vast money laundering operations involving India and offshore tax havens? Are elements among Sathya Sai Baba's key servitors - but by no means all of them - involved in money laundering?
Sathya Sai Baba Hardly Alive. World Attention on Kate and William Instead
2011-04-22 03:38:00 To this point, reports in the Western media of Sathya Sai Baba health troubles are hardly to be seen. So much, then, for the untiring and misleading claims in Puttaparthi propaganda that Sathya Sai Baba is known and honoured by many millions throughout the world. No doubt, after no question of life-support apparatus can be entertained, and when it is announced that Sathya Sai Baba is officially dead, there will be some coverage of it in foreign media. (We shall add our efforts to that end). But this attention will be miniscule to focus on countless other events. At the moment, the 'world' is far more fixated on the upcoming wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, April 29th, 2011. The talk is, and will be for many days, of St James's Palace, not of Sathya Sai Baba's palace at Puttaparthi. Here is the Indian Express report of Sathya Sai Baba's medical state, as of last night: Sai Baba's health worsens; prohibitory orders in Puttaparthi Thu Apr 21 2011, 09...
Sathya Sai Health Condition ?Very Critical?, Says Sai Hospital Head (21 Apr
2011-04-21 11:48:00 Indian media are starting to report that some Sathya Sai Baba forces favour his burial while he is still technically alive. Countries not steeped in the utmost superstition may find it hard to credit yesterday's bizarre news Yes, buried alive. When, then, exactly, is Sathya Sai Baba going - as he has long promised - to visit London, Malaysia, Rome and Southern California, USA?
Sathya Sai Baba?s premature death?
2011-04-21 10:01:00 One of my Indian informants just wrote:- There are very strong , but unofficial and unconfirmed reports that Sai Baba died at 3.30pm yesterday India time ( wednesday…20th April )…most tv channels are reporting Sai Baba as “extremely critical”, and as ” all organs failed” and today morning’s medical bulletin has dropped the word “stable” ...
Sathya Sai Baba buried alive?
2011-04-20 13:23:00 The developing narrative about Sathya Sai Baba, in his critical condition of ‘living death’, has taken an incomprehensible grotesque twist. Several major Indian news outlets – like Indian Express, and India Today – consider this newsworthy enough to publish. That anyone can seriously even suggest that anyone should be buried ALIVE is so outrageous that ...
Sathya Sai Baba Hospitalized, Despite Hailing His Extraordinary ?Health?
2011-03-29 14:12:00 Stop Press! News of Sathya Sai Baba's hospitalization are breaking in these last hours. Only a sanitized version of health problems afflicting Sathya Sai Baba is possible. Any reader of informed chroniclers - such as Robert Priddy, Brian Steel, Serguei Badaev, Alexandra Nagel, myself and others - knows how we have extensively, and with much care, often documented, the tight control on propaganda emitting from Puttapathi and the leadership of the international Sathya Sai Organization. One of my most read articles is this one about the deputy chairman of that organization, and the director of Sathya Sai Baba's attempt to get radio broadcasts into every corner of the world: Sathya Sai Baba's 'Minister of Propaganda' - Dr G. Venkataraman. A Mahashivaratri 2000 report in Sanathana Sarathi, Sai Baba's official organ (distributed worldwide), unintentionally mocks the absurdity of Sai Baba's self-presentations regarding his health, of which, by long habit, he gives the rosiest...

This news is not surprising to observers who noticed the reduced condition of Indian’s top religious cult leader. While Sathya Sai ...
