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.

(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.
Top UK Sathya Sai Organization leaders left Sathya Sai Baba

Because Goldstein is bound to follow religiously every hint of this Lord and Master, one way to hit back at critics was ...
International Sai Organization?s clandestine operative
2009-10-01 10:17:00 The International Sathya Sai Organization is undoubtedly involved in a clandestine campaign of cultist harassment, systematic and widespread character assassination, smears and lies.

UK Sathya Sai Organization?s New Age leadership
2009-08-11 21:47:00 One has to wonder why this organization has chosen as its leader a person who exhibits all the signs of an unbridled New Age spirituality, Reverend Rosemary Perry? Probably, having a ‘reverend’ – ordained as an Interfaith Minister - is seen to help this embattled cult’s credibility as not being overwhelmingly a Hindu-oriented religious sect. ...
Is your agency organization a circle or a stick?
2009-08-10 06:36:00 Since leaving the field of full-time journalism many years ago, I’ve worked at a couple agencies, have applied for jobs it many others and have talked with folks at, again many others. So, I’ve gained some knowledge about how agencies can organize their client teams. I’m no expert, but know what I like and what seems to work. At one agency I worked at, the client team was structured pretty much like a circle: The client was in the middle and the entire account team around the client with each person having first-hand knowledge of client needs and access to the main client contact. At another agency, there definitely was a hierarchy — kind of like a stick in the mud: Most of the information came flowing down from the top level account person to the rest of the team. Sure, there was some client contact via meetings, but not much — unless you were in account management. Any questions I had, had to go up the line. One time, I emailed the client contact &mda...

What Role does Design Play within Your Organization?
2009-05-20 19:24:00 Designers often wonder or whine about how their work is not recognized, accepted or even respected in their organization. What many designers don't realize is how they or their designs are treated has to do with how the discipline of design is viewed within their organization. While most of the time I reference organizations that have in-house design teams, most of the topics of our discussion today can also apply to consultancies looking to service organizations that buy design services. There are many levels of how Design is viewed or integrated within an organization. This is what I like to call ?The Design Functionality Axis? as illustrated above. The Axis stretches from a low level Supplier relationship at the base of the triangle to a Strategic Design Leadership relationship. In the next few paragraphs, I hope to explain in detail what it means for a company to operate at these different Design functional levels, what designers working at these levels can expect and s...

Sathya Sai Organization: World Communities Need To Treat This Sect Cautious
2009-04-30 00:10:00 Key leaders of the international Sathya Sai Organization, and their often unsuspecting and decent rank-and-file, would link up with you, smile happily with you, act in a manner that has every appearance of professional and ethical responsibility. They seek to enter into shared endeavours with you in regard to your schools, civic and religious organizations, sporting organizations, your municipal, state and central governments, etc. They do worthy works of social uplift, but in fact they have agendas that they keep from you salient information - that you have every right to know - under tight seals of prohibition as instructed by the guru and his core servitors.
Sathya Sai Organization: Factors Far Beyond Known Critiques Undermine It
2009-04-01 23:53:00 Some, in their great sense of betrayal by Sai Baba and his international Sathya Sai Organization, have poured out their anguish to various widely-respected groups in the community, including to their leaderships. This was bound to happen. For an example of how the Sai Organization - while strongly cloaking their agendas of working for a Sathya Sai Baba-ruled world - attempts to work its way into both religious and civic mainstreams
Sathya Sai Baba Organization?s Betrayal of Love and Compassion
2009-03-20 06:59:00 Many Sathya Sai Baba devotees have betrayed their memories and allowed to be constantly set upon, vilified, demeaned, defamed and libeled those whom they had so long loved, honored and worked side-by-side with. Factors which prevent a wider former devotee visibility on the Internet or in the law courts are briefly dealt with in this article. The case of the principled resignation of the first head of the Sathya Sai Organization in Australia, Terry Gallagher of Kyama, New South Wales, is cited, with some excerpts from, and a link to, his testimony against Sathya Sai Baba.
Sathya Sai Organization Libels Those Who Have Left It
2009-03-17 00:20:00 It pleases Sai Baba's defenders on the internet and elsewhere, grossly to represent those former devotees active in bringing many allegations about Sai Baba and his cult to international light. It portrays former devotees as but "a small handful of disgruntled" individuals. there are many in the Sathya Sai Organization who suppress a palpable fact: namely, that many of those who have left it, having investigated the allegations - particularly in their own Sai centers - were held in high esteem for decades.

Sathya Sai Baba and his Organization Permit Attacks On Ex-followers
2009-03-14 11:30:00 That Sathya Sai Organization members can turn such a blind eye, and so stultify their hearts, and yet still claim to be loving and truthful shows them to be a group that communities and institutions throughout the world need to be most wary of. As previously chronicled,Sai Baba's and his organization's hidden agenda is that he is to take over the world and rule it before circa CE 2022. Devotees are told not to mention this in any public interfaces

However, the Sai movement distinguishes itself by the total absence of self-criticism in public, or even in its meetings and conferences. This is why Sai officials and many followers do not respond at all to any challenging criticism. They never admit of ...

Leadership Processes and Follower Self-identity (Lea Series in Organization
2008-06-06 05:19:00 Leadership Processes and Follower Self-identity (Lea Series in Organization and Management.) # Author:Robert G. Lord , Douglas J. Brown# Format:PDF 1.3MB# Page Count: 264 pages# Publisher: Lawrence Erlbaum; 1 edition (July 1, 2003)# Language: English# ISBN-10: 0805838929# ISBN-13: 978-0805838923Presenting a follower-centered perspective on leadership, this book focuses on followers as the direct determinant of leadership effects because it is generally through follower reactions and behaviors that leadership attempts succeed or fail. Therefore, leadership theory needs to be articulated with a theory of how followers create meaning from leadership acts and how this meaning helps followers self-regulate in specific contexts. In this book, an attempt is made to develop such a theory, maintaining that the central construct in this process is the self-identity of followers. In developing this theoretical perspective, the authors draw heavily from several areas of research and theory. The...
