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. They are central to grasping the motivations of In social and political life. Sai Baba promotes his own brand of ‘five human values’ a ...
Sathya Sai Baba, defender of the caste system
2009-11-18 11:14:00 ?The system of Varnas is ordained by the Vedas and so there can be no injustice in it; it is not an artifice invented by man.? (Sathya Sai Baba in Geetha Vahini, Ch. IX, p. 46 ) Sathya Sai Baba promotes himself as an unsurpassed renewer of moral and human values come to save India ...

David Wolff blindly defends Sathya Sai Baba
2009-11-16 18:53:00 A defender of Sathya Sai Baba sent an e-mail to the exposé website exbaba.com.

?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 ...
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 ...
Solicitation of funds by Sathya Sai Baba VIPs
2009-10-22 23:24:00 Former International Chairman of the Sathya Sai Organization, Indulal Shah wrote while soliciting for money to build the Chaitanya Jyothi Museum in Prashanthi Nilayam, ?As regards the final cost it cannot be ascertained now fully since it will depend on the international world quality which will have to be maintained for such a monument by ...
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: 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 ...
Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard On Dr G. Venkataraman ? Sathya Sai Baba Glo
2009-10-17 23:16:00 The Sathya Sai Organisation's Deception and Propaganda Expose "The foes of the 'open society' (Sir Karl Popper's term) are those who use its very openness to achieve their closed and devious ends. Sai Baba and his highly authoritarian and cultist organisation have such ends, which critics have tried to make known. Its foremost leaders silence all those who question it- and never face substantive criticisms. For the first time - after six years of pained and guilty silence - since hundreds of long-term devotees left it in disgust - the Sathya Sai Organisation has found it necessary to try to defuse the debate about Sathya Sai Baba's alleged crimes, deceits and fraudulence. Dr. Venkataraman's tendentious cover-up article expresses untruths which have long circulated within the cult, giving an opportunity to confront him with facts and truth"
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 ...
Sathya Sai Baba?s promises part 2
2009-10-11 20:31:00 Promises of good or improved health: Sathya Sai Baba is known for making many personal promises to people in interviews, as reported in many writings about him. One of his stock phrases is, “I will look after everything”, and another is, “I give you a long life, healthy life, happy life!”. (He made both of ...
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. After this intense seeking, he had what he believes to have been a physical visit across time and space by Sathya Sai Baba, during which he was unable to “move or scream”. ...
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...
Sathya Sai Baba?s unforgiving talk of forgiveness
2009-09-25 22:29:00 “We should help even those who have harmed us. This is the vow of Sai. No matter if some people criticise or ridicule Me, I will always look at them with kindness.” (Sanathana Sarathi June 2002, p. 166). “There are many who are hostile towards Me. Many ridicule or criticise Me.” (ibid, p. 168.) Note that the ‘Me’ ...
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 ...
Report: Fake Aid, Over £1bn of UK foreign ?aid? used to spread propaganda
2009-09-18 13:33:00 A lot of reports, press releases and articles pass by my metaphorical desk. Many go straight in the bin, others make it on this blog in some shape or form. I’ve found that Twitter is a great... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
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 ...
Sathya Sai Baba ? some key teachings
2009-09-01 14:15:00 Among an endless stream of contradictory statements by Sathya Sai Baba, the following few are quite striking:- “I do not ask anybody for any help. It is Sathya Sankalpa (Will of Truth); what I am doing is good. If one undertakes any good work, it is bound to fructify. It is My goodness that attracts all ...
Notable Former Devotees Who Have Spoken Out
2009-08-24 12:01:00 I notice that Barry Pittard has compiled a list of those who have been unscrupulously attacked – particularly by Gerald Joe Moreno, who works in league with various members of the Sathya Sai Baba movement. List of Former Devotees Who Have Spoken Out ? Despite repeated attacks on them. The list also excludes many who are ...
Sathya Sai Baba?s actions constantly belie his words
2009-08-23 13:26:00 Sathya Sai Baba judges others as “zeroes” and always implies that, by contrast, he is a hero. He claims his actions must precede words, and not deviate from them. But he continually fails to measure up to this himself, as anyone who dares think a genuinely independent thought about him can discover. For example, his ...
Propaganda of a Rising Star: Ben Bernanke
2009-08-22 19:34:00 The Atlanta Journal and Constitution reports that Fed head Ben Bernanke is a "rising star" who, after a "slow start", is managing the financial crisis quite well, thanks.Perhaps he is, but knowing that Mr. Bernanke's Fed term is up in January 2010, my suspicious nature is more likely to see the current glowing reports on Mr. Bernanke's performance as propaganda meant to justify the fact that there's little chance President Obama will be replacing Bernanke in January. And the Wall Street culture continues to rule plutocratic America as numbers reports are fudged and are strategically released to create a 'special effect' - a mirage - of financial improvement. All in all, I'd have to say that the jury is still out on Mr. Bernanke's performance - at least it is on Main Street USA.Here's a round-up of stuff I've previously blurbed about Ben Bernanke including his Pre-Natal Eclipse details - his PE manifested its 18.6-year cycle on September 11, 2007 (perhaps you remember that ...
Astonishing Sai Baba miracle reported + video clip
2009-08-22 09:25:00 This is a story of the kind that spreads like wildfire among believers… and Sai officials do nothing to halt such rumours and sometimes they are the source of them or of supporting ‘testimony’ A very similar story was circulating in 1994 when I was present at the ashram. An Australian was said to have ...
Lingam regurgitation ? new video clip
2009-08-12 21:28:00 In the above very brief streaming video clip (only 312 Kb), you can view the common feat of producing lingam-type stones from the mouth by fakirs and street illusionists. This one was filmed by a German crew I watched filming in 1990 at Brindavan ashram. The German commentary stated that Mustapha, the magician, earns his ...
Light on Sathya Sai Baba mythology origins + video
2009-08-09 16:10:00 Arnold Schulman was one of the early writers about Sathya Sai Baba. The book Baba was published by Viking Press, New York and was properly edited. Though he was no doubt perplexed by Sathya Sai Baba’s claims, and was inclined to give a favourable account, he was not devoid of a certain measure of investigative ...
Fleeting name, fame and Sathya Sai Baba
2009-08-06 09:38:00 History is replete with self-proclaimed God Emperors, Divine Avatars, World Saviours, reborn Christs… right up to the present day. Millions still believe that this or that person is wholly and fully God. The various Indian modern avatars or divine saviours include Ramakrishna, Meher Baba and any number of other claimants, each ...

Sathya Sai Baba?s ?divine magnetism?
2009-07-26 00:39:00 Sathya Sai Baba’s delusions of grandeur on the public record reveals him still to have much of his semi-literate villager?s ideas, holding discourses which reveal that the Divine Omniscience he claims does not stretch to magnetism, atomic physics, geophysics or a list of other subjects. His world-view is illustrated well enough in his discourse ...
Sathya Sai Baba: lingam photos-liberation from rebirth
2009-07-23 11:03:00 Promises of liberation? In common with most other Indian gurus, Sai Baba has promised liberation from the cycle of rebirths to a number of his followers… sometimes in private, sometimes in public. That this is a much sought-after boon is perhaps hardly surprising, not least when considering the longing for salvation that is a ...
The magnet of Sathya Sai Baba?s ?lingam? miracles
2009-07-22 13:35:00 The Sathya Sai Baba Lingam Question: The production of lingams at the Shivarathri festival was discontinued in the 1970s, according to Sathya Sai Baba, because the crowds were too large and injuries were being caused. It is of note that Sathya Sai Baba started up the lingodbhava in public again when the allegations had broken ...
Close-up photo of Sai Baba ring materializing?
2009-07-21 12:25:00 A gold and enamel ring Sathya Sai Baba supposedly ‘created’ with a wave of his hand? THE APPARENT ‘MATERIALISATION’ OF ONE OF SAI BABA’S STANDARD RINGS (CAN BE SILVER OR 18 CARAT GOLD) WITH AN ENAMEL FACE SHOWING HIMSELF. MANY TAKE THIS PHOTOGRAPH AS PROOF POSITIVE THAT SAI BABA IS ACTUALLY MATERIALISING THIS OBJECT. THIS ...
Sathya Sai Baba?s gross lies in public ? with photo
2009-07-19 16:50:00 On of his most despicable lies was in the ‘unforgiving Christmas discourse’ in 2000 (a time to celebrate the greatest teacher of forgiveness in history!!) where he accused many identifiable persons saying, “Why are they doing this propaganda? Even this bad propaganda is for money. All these bad thoughts are for money only. Even these ...
The ashrams of Sathya Sai Baba
2009-07-18 18:37:00 Rigorous security checks, body searches (sometimes invasive), strict and bossy orders that must be obeyed, undisciplined and most pushy crowds, minimum space, and very long waiting are all features of the Sathya Sai Baba ashrams. The ashram is a place where the newcomer is largely left by other devotees to fend for him or herself. Seldom ...

Gratitude for what and to whom ? Sathya Sai Baba?
2009-07-15 12:33:00 “Ever be grateful even for a small help. Do not be ungrateful. Ingratitude is utter cruelty.” (Sathya Sai Baba – in a discourse published in Sanathana Sarathi June 2002, p. 166-7) Further comments on the deceptive ‘divine’ discourse 6/5/2000: For the n’th time, one must ask what is wrong with Sathya Sai Baba’s sense of proportion ...

Sai Baba- self-transformation through divine love?
2009-07-11 11:17:00 Does Sathya Sai Baba really transform people? Sathya Sai Baba has said (to V.K. Narasimhan) that one thing he cannot do is make people be good. So the question as to whether Sai devotees undergo more sound or permanent self-transformation than usual at any ‘religious conversion’ or other types of life-altering event is worth pursuing. These ...
Transformation of people by Sathya Sai Baba
2009-07-10 18:05:00 Writings by and about Sathya Sai Baba are full of constantly repeated talk of ’self-transformation. (I have read the entire extant literature, not only all available texts recording what Sai Baba has said in public twice thoroughly, but over 300 other books, pamphlets and many more articles in English).

Sathya Sai Baba and the truth
2009-06-27 14:21:00 Nowadays current photographs of Sathya Sai Baba are not published on his official websites and very few photos are made available anywhere which show him in his increasingly decrepit looking present form.
