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

Sathya Sai Baba and Sexual ?Grooming? of Boys and Young Men
2009-11-11 03:33:00 Shortly before Christmas 1997, a highly capable and lovely person,with whom I worked among orphans at Puttaparthi, Maria Quoos, a Polish film and stage actress and businesswoman, came anxiously to me . She is now leader of the Polish Sathya Sai Organization. Ms Quoos brought a married Polish man in his mid twenties to meet me in my old friend Walia's restaurant (the owner was Sathya Sai Baba's former head gardener). The Polish man, a member of the group of which she led, was distressed and confused and Ms Quoos wanted me to help. He told us that in their recent interview with him, Sai Baba had covertly grasped his penis.

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 ...
Sathya Sai Baba Critic Serguei Badaev: An Incisive Voice of Conscience From

Serguei Badaev is an incisive writer with a professional background (the physical sciences), whose writings critical of the Sai sect - no less than those of others who have raised critical questions - receive no answer from Sathya Sai Baba and his officials. Nor do they explain how those with years of loving, sacrificial and dedicated service to the Sathya Sai Baba organization (what to speak in their own professions and wider communities) should, practically overnight, become demons, naysayers, and defamers.

?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. It is particularly relevant to the study of Sathya Sai Baba, who fits the bill for such a guru:- “When abuses are publicly exposed, the leader either denies or justifies the behaviors by saying ...
The Guru Papers: Masks of Authoritarian Power

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 ...
Reputed Media and Other Agencies Decried By Sathya Sai Baba?s Defenders
2009-10-27 00:21:00 Those who defend Sathya Sai Baba and his global cult would tirelessly denigrate and defame all who seriously question him and his Sathya Sai Organization. Quite apart from former followers and other critics, their targets include leading journalists and broadcasters of repute who have investigated Sathya Sai Baba and his sect. This fact alone suggests the cultic mind at work. Being one of those centrally involved in approaches to Interpol, media, UNESCO, and other agencies in attempting to bring third party scrutiny to the Sathya Sai Baba and his core accomplices, I have repeatedly seen how demanding journalists and officials of these professional organizations are. Media include the BBC, DR, CBC, ABC, SBS, India Today, Times of London, Telegraph, the Guardian, the Age, Gatopado, West Australian, (Adelaide) Advertiser, and newspapers in Europe, Canada and and still others.
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.

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 ...

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. Though Sai Baba does also make a lot ...

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"
Top UK Sathya Sai Organization leaders left Sathya Sai Baba

Buckingham Palace Revisited. Are Wily Sathya Sai Baba Emissaries Again Seek
2009-10-15 23:21:00 Will Realpolitik-bent British FCO and Indian Government Interests Exploit Prince Edwards Visit To India? What may Prince Edward's visit to India portend for Sathya Sai Baba interests? Will there be, again, attempts by his top associates to exploit the British Royal Family for propaganda purposes? Here is a summary background to what follows below: 1. Officials of The Duke of Edinburgh Awards and Buckingham Palace were upset by the boasting of those such as Dr G. Venkataraman and Shitu Chudasama about Award connections. (Dr. G. Venkataraman is deputy world head of the Sathya Sai Organization. He also directs Sai Baba?s international 7 days 24 hours propaganda satellite radio service via the WorldSpace International corporation. See HERE. Shitu Chudasama is the UK Sai Baba national youth coordinator. 2. After efforts via, once might almost say, 'friends at court', Superiors to Peter Westgarth, the Director of the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, were of the view that he lacked, in thi...
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. Perhaps most extraordinary was the zeal with which the Sai Baba authorities posted a major web page ...

Sathya Sai Baba?s promises part 3
2009-10-12 11:29:00 We may take as another example of Sathya Sai Baba’s failed promises, the constantly ill and suffering Mrs. Phyllis Krystal, an elderly lady devotee for decades from the US, who has written about some of her experiences of Sathya Sai Baba. She described her terrible chronic headaches, which Sathya Sai Baba diagnosed as due to ...
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.

Nobel Peace Prize To Obama. India?s Past Candidate Sathya Sai Baba Long-for
2009-10-09 23:38:00 The Nobel Institute has just awarded US President Barach Obama the Nobel Peace Prize. News of the Obama receipt of the Prize stirs memories of those involved in submissions contra Sathya Sai Baba to the Nobel Institute a decade ago. They cannot but be reminded of the resounding failure of Sathya Sai Baba-disposed forces within the Indian government to nominate the guru for this same prize. Well-remembered is all the excitement generated among devotees when news that his name was being put forward was announced in Sai Centers around the world. The strange notion of quite how tasteful it was that 'God' should receive such an earth-bound award was remote from their consideration. He and his officials badly misrepresented the status of Dr Michael Nobel, a major player in WorldSpace International Satellite Radio Service, which broadcasts Sathya Sai Baba propaganda to many countries in the world.
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). Among its members are many volunteers who lead by example in the real work of genuinely selfless service to the suffering and needy. These ...
Further genital oiling, kundalini claims and more
2009-10-08 13:16:00 The genital oiling carried out by Sathya Sai Baba, as described by numerous ex-followers and admitted by various of his leaders and so-called ‘VIP’ devotees are said by the defenders of this sexual molestation to be what is called “raising the kundalini” or serpent power… which is supposed to give one cosmic consciousness etc. There ...
Michelle Goldberg, US Author-Journalist, on Sathya Sai Baba (1)
2009-10-07 23:53:00 It is one of the gambits of pro Sathya Sai Baba activists like Indulal Shah (when he was active), Dr G.Venkataraman and his virtual counterpart Gerald Moreno, to portray highly reputed media journalists as sensationalist, and so on. In their offensive and denunciatory style, they fail to credit world leading media journalists, and the researchers as well, ...
Gerald Moreno ? further inducted into the Sathya Sai Baba fold
2009-10-07 09:55:00 Earlier I have shown here how – due to a hallucination most likely caused by sleep paralysis – Gerald Moreno became deluded and was induced into the Sai Baba sect (see). He was led to India and soon acquired all the skills of self-indoctrination I have detailed on my website (see link at foot ...

A fighter for truth ...
Author admits genital oiling by Sathya Sai Baba
2009-10-06 10:57:00 Cover-up of oiling of genitals by author P.W. Roberts, which he later admitted: This case illumines the difficulties in speaking up about sexual molestation. The British-Canadian author Paul William Roberts, a confirmed Sai Baba devotee, was clearly too embarrassed about what happened to him in a Sai Baba private interview to describe it for what it ...
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. Because Goldstein is bound to follow religiously every hint of this Lord and Master, one way to hit back at critics was ...
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 ...
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...
Sai Baba says he is only what anyone imagines him to be!
2009-09-27 17:52:00 The Sexual Molestation and other abuse allegations: Former follower John Bright, in his highly credible but very shocking account on the Internet of how Sai Baba molested him sexually, refers to the English self-styled ‘psychic medium’ Craig Parker-Hamilton, whose website allowed him to discuss this (but no longer, alas), saying:- “Before I go I want to ... |
