Puttaparthi and Misconduct of Sathya Sai Baba?s Officials
2009-12-15 23:32:00 The writer's thoughts prompted my recollections of an incident at the time I was teaching in Sathya Sai Baba's college. It involved one of the other long-stay devotees, who had come to Sathya Sai Baba in the sixties, an American man named Joseph. In 1979, in the Whitefield ashram crowd awaiting Sai Baba?s public appearance (darshan), Joseph, began to talk out aloud ? quite audibly for those who sat near on the sand, as I did. (A large auditorium now stands in that area). He was distressed and expressed moral outrage - he repeated that some college hostel boys had told him that Sai Baba had asked a number of them (in Joseph?s words) to "line up and masturbate."
The Sathya Sai Organization: Almost overnight, dissenters treated as demons
2009-12-11 22:13:00 Hard questions were being raised. It was not enough, as so many devotees do when there is a process of questioning, to assume, somehow, the unworthiness of those who question. In that direction the psychological factor of being in-denial is all too likely to kick in. Honest questions merit honest answers. During twenty-five years of deep devotion, I underwent many wonderful experiences, but, in some respects, facing the questions was not one of them. (The great benefits of doing so and I would like to address that aspect at another time). In common with so many former devotees and other critics around the world, as I began to hear the direct testimony, and, in other cases, from parents and close friends of those who had been affected, the experience was gut-wrenching. Indeed one of the ways in which the scandal that is Puttaparthi has become ever more widely known is because those who have left it have sought spiritual guidance from other religious organizations of various kinds.
Stephen Carthew, A Voice of Testimony From Australia, On The Dangers of Cul
2009-12-10 00:10:00 There are many decent men and women who, moved by conscience, have spoken out calling for proper investigation of the countless allegations against Sathya Sai Baba. One of these is Stephen Carthew, who, until 2000, was a spiritual coordinator in the Sathya Sai Organization for South Australia. Now entering his 60’s, he has been doing his Ph.D. in ...
Questioning Sathya Sai Baba: India?s Most Famous and Politically Powerful G
2009-12-08 22:52:00 In 2000 came the publication of three articles in Nexus magazine (August-September). A person close to me, who knew well that I had deafened my ears to anything inimical to Sathya Sai Baba, strongly urged me (putting the magazine right into my hand) to read these articles, one of which was by the head of the Australian Sathya Sai Organization, Terry Gallagher, an agricultural scientist and businessman. The editor, Duncan Roads, wrote of this own experiences of disillusionment with Sathya Sai Baba, but, more particularly printed three articles that were already to be found on the Internet. See: ?BILD? Story. ?Guru Wants Sex? (Sathya Sai Baba) Before returning to Sathya Sai Baba for a few months in November 1997, and sensing a momentous issue looming, I had somehow briefly dared to look at writings on the Internet. I read the Canadian academic rationalist philosopher Professor Dale Beyerstein (now deceased) of the University of British Columbia. His very incisively-written book: "Sai...
Robert Priddy?s Views on Key Human Values in Relation To Sathya Sai Baba
2009-12-06 00:04:00 In the brief article - Human Values ? Sai Baba?s truncated ideas - Robert Priddy, an academic philosopher at the University of Oslo for many years, and a former head of the Sathya Sai Organization in Norway, states his view of what human values are, in contradistinction to "divinely-instated values for humans" as proclaimed by Sathya Sai Baba. Priddy writes: "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 our social and political life. Sai Baba promotes his own brand of ?five human values?, which is a simple and often all too vague recipe. His biographer Kasturi writes that Sai Baba scribbled the 5 values down on the back of an envelope when Kasturi asked him to define them. Grabbed as if out of thin air without any deeper thought, it is quite evident how shallow, rigid and inco...

One might think that a physician of distinction would be on-guard about crowd estimates. Or, again, in treating highly questionable interpretations of sections of various scriptures as though they are established fact. Many, however, are the cases where otherwise intelligent individuals, blinded by their fervent belief systems, abandon reason ...
When 60, Sathya Sai Baba Said He Would Not Age Thereafter (See photo refuta
2009-12-01 00:41:00 As some stage, scholars with time to deal with all the questions it raises may interest themselves in the official and semi-official Sathya Sai Orgnization 'weeding' that has been going on in regard to documentation which - all unintentionally - got on to Sathya Sai websites.This kicking over of traces tells its own story. If the pages of history do not tell in an organization's favour it destroys or changes them. Below is a scan from ExBaba.com Guestbook of a photo sent by a writer critical of us. Note the Saibabaofindia imprimature on the upper left hand side of the photo. This Saibabofindia group contains those long associated with - and some members close indeed to - Sathya Sai Baba. It is not official in the Sathya Sai Organization sense, but to describe it as semi-official is quite apt, given that it provides much information from a close quaters vantage-point from within what is a very highly-controlled organization.

Sathya Sai Baba Birthday, 2009. Where have all the ?millions? Gone?
2009-11-28 11:53:00 Robert Priddy has written of the highly exaggerated crowd numbers attending Puttaparthi occasions, such as Sathya Sai Baba's birthday celebrations. Of his and my dear friend, the late celebrated Indian newspaper Editor, V.K. Narasimhan and some others, Priddy, former co-founder and leader of the Norwegian Sathya Sai Organization, writes: "The estimated numbers of persons during each of these celebrations was doubtless much in excess of the actual numbers. Figures of from 1 to 3 million have been suggested for the various birthdays!Sathya Sai Baba stated to several persons (Robert and Rita Bruce, V.K. Narasimhan and others) that 3 million were present, which was a total impossibility. V.K.N. told me several times that Sathya Sai Baba regularly multiplied numbers of actual visitors by 10!" -------------------------------------------------------------------- Express News Service.

Ireland Acts On Clergy Sexual Abuse. India Does Not Act On Sathya Sai Baba
2009-11-27 00:37:00 My readers may well have a keen sense of déjà vu as they read the piece on Ireland. Inescapably one thinks of Sathya Sai Baba, his key officials in the international Sathya Sai Organization and successive local, state and central governments in India. All have have profoundly covered up in regard to both allegations of Sai Baba's (and some of his servitors') longtime, serial sexual abuse of boys and young men, and many other gravely serious wrongdoings. Ireland's Justice Minister, Dermot Ahern, appears determined to act strongly. The Guardian reports, "Ahern said there should be no hiding place for the abusers even if they wore a clerical collar. "The persons who committed these dreadful crimes ? no matter when they happened ? will continue to be pursued" "Even if they wore a clerical collar"?!
Liberhan Commission Report, India: Names Some Long-time Close Associates of
2009-11-25 03:13:00 Right now, a media furore is erupting in India, which relates to the "leaked" details of the the Judge Liberhan Commission report, a 17-year inquiry into the 1992 Ayodhya Mosque demolition. A number of the figures very seriously named are long-time close associates of Sathya Sai Baba and his core servitors. The report names the former Prime Minister Vajpayee, his Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani (not a devotee of Sathya Sai Baba) and former high-powered government minister Murli Manohar Joshi as instrumental figures in orchestrating the demolition and hiding their roles in this extremely painful episode in modern Indian history. The disgraced former Home Minister, Ashok Singhal, who along with Vajpayee and Joshi is an old adherant of Sathya Sai Baba, is also named.

Sathya Sai Baba 84th Birthday Celebrations. Will 21st Century India Tolerat
2009-11-22 02:03:00 Unimaginable splurgings of pomp and conspicuous waste attend Sathya Sai Baba's imperial-like birthday celebrations. The global financial meltdown will not have melted down his vast reserves of gold. Many politicians from right across India's political spectrum fall at Sathya Sai Baba's feet. Likewise industrialists, judges, many of the top brass from the armed services and police, and so forth. We know, too, via strong former devotee contacts with those who have roles at high levels, that, though there are those in foreign service who regret it, diplomats have been told "not to rock the boat" on the Sathya Sai Baba issue. This is actually a great disservice to India, because Sathya Sai Baba is NOT India!
Golden Throne of India?s Sathya Sai Baba. He says he will Rule the world so
2009-11-21 22:05:00 Soon never comes ... On November 23, 2009, he celebrates with enormous pomp and extravagance his 84th birthday. Sathya Sai Baba is haggard, weak and ailing, although on his 60th birthday he proclaimed that he would thenceforth not age. He long ago said that he will travel to other countries, actually naming some of them, and that he would perform these visits after first putting his "own backyard" (India) in order. In many respects, India is still in a parlous state.
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 ...

He was born May 3, 1930 DesMoines, Iowa. Since early 2000, Glen Meloy was a major leader of a coalition of former Sai Baba devotees and others, known as The Exposé, which calls for formal investigation of alleged crimes by this guru and the cover-up perpetrated by his organization.

(Late) Ron and Peggy Laing: Deeply Alienated From Sathya Sai Organization
2009-11-13 23:44:00 Even before the worldwide onslaught of revelations - greatly facilitated by the sudden, dynamic growth of the Internet - of Sathya Baba's serial and widespread sexual abuse of boys and young men (and other abuses far beyond), well-loved devotees like Ron and Peggy Laing (UK) saw that Sathya Sai Baba's worldwide organization did not bear fair and reasonable scrutiny. Ron Laing was in the unusual position of being the only non-Indian (at the time) on the Sathya Sai World Council. It appears that, among the Laings other grave concerns was the extremely rude and autocratic conduct of the then world head of the Sathya Sai Organization, Indulal Shah. It was the latter who summarily sacked two widely-respected UK organization heads, Lucas Ralli and Aime Levy, simply because they disagreed with him.

Inner Ignoring of ?Warning Flags? Prior To Dissent From A Sect
2009-10-28 22:12:00 There is an ignoring, while one is still a member a questionable group, of what apostates, looking back on their process, have called 'warning flags'. The rationalising and psychological denial factors loom, but not so large as to cause deeper questioning and leave-taking. These are phenomena widely encountered in the reports of dissenters from sects. I have written of this aspect in an article, where I wrote: "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". See: A Cult?s Powerful Grip.

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.

David Bailey and Thomas Wiehe. Transcript Of Phone Link: Sathya Sai Abuses
2009-10-24 23:44:00 This article contains the link to the mp3 format phone conversation in which David Bailey, an enormously important early exposer of India's leading guru Sathya Sai Baba, explains his and his wife Faye Bailey's stance. In 1999, the extensive document 'The Findings' by David and Faye Bailey appeared. This document caused enormous damage to the Sathya Sai Baba's credibility and that of his worldwide Sathya Sai Organization. Here was the case where persons previously very close indeed to Sathya Sai Baba spoke out, and in no uncertain terms. Faye had been a noted leader in the Australian Sathya Sai Organization well before the guru, much to the astonishment of them both, chose them to be husband and wife, and presided over their wedding. In their speaking out about the untold corruption they and others had uncovered, and the consequent great shock and sense of spiritual betrayal, the unique role in the organization of the Baileys stood in marked contrast to the situation in which...

The very wealthy Lord Paul of Marylebone (See Wikipedia note below) is now under police investigation for the same reason. In probing Lord Paul, the British media might like, while investigating, to see whether Paul has been assisting the Sathya Sai Organization, as has been Tony McNulty. Both have long been powerfully influential in the British Labour Party.

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...
Concerning Attempts To Contact Former Sathya Baba Followers
2009-10-04 01:11:00 Concerning Attempts To Contact Former Sathya Baba Followers In the case of these approaches, carefully vetting is performed so as to screen off the proven attempts of Gerald Moreno and others to infiltrate or otherwise undermine former devotee work to bring about proper third party investigation of Sathya Sai Baba and core components of his international Sathya Sai Organization. It has been important for us to take advice from outstanding abuse professionals, lawyers, and so on. The temerity, and in some cases the naivity, of some requests to us for even the most sensitive information might stagger those who had not become used to it.
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:
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...

Susan Boyle: ?Wild Horses? Won?t Hold Her Back
2009-09-15 02:00:00 Duty can have its own beauty, though it is far from an absolute form of it. There are, of course, more beautiful things in life than writing about Sathya Sai Baba and his movement. Though the thought of my own engagement in anything significantly-other courts disbelief among a prominent Internet detractor and gross defamer, my work on Sathya Sai Baba constitutes but a minor part of my frequently delightful and deeply fulfilling days. Working quickly, and having other life interests, is native to a number of former followers of Sathya Sai Baba who have stood forth to call for media and government investigation of Sathya Sai Baba and certain of his core leaders. Last April, deeply moved, as was so much of the rest of the world, by the singer Susan Boyle, I wrote of her in relation to having been the target of ageist discrimination not, in essence, unlike that shown by the Sathya Sai Baba proxy defender on the Internet in relation to Robert Priddy, Brian Steel and myself.
?BILD? Story. ?Guru Wants Sex? (Sathya Sai Baba)
2009-09-13 02:24:00 The article below, in which Jens Sethi recounts being sexually abused by Sathya Sai Baba, is from the magazine 'BILD' of Munich on 21st August, 2000. Wikipedia states that 'BILD' is "the best-selling newspaper in Europe and has the sixth-largest circulation worldwide". About a year earlier, NEXUS Magazine (Australia), August-September 1999, featured three articles on Sathya Sai Baba, containing serious allegations. One of these was the testimony of a German husband and wife, Jens and Gurprit Sethi who had been devotees, but had left him.The other articles were the testimony of Terry Gallagher, (who, on principle, had resigned as head of the Sathya Sai Organization in Australia) and Hans de Kraker, also Australia, who had likewise investigated allegations of Sathya Sai Baba's serial sexual abuse of boys and young men. Kraker was, for a number of years, head of the Western Canteen at Puttaparthi
