Please don't think everyone in the West is thinking the Anti-Christ is Sai Baba.
The title Anti-Christ as used by Anthony is misleading.
The modern term 'anti-christ' means not a person at all, but refers to the dark forces in the world. Or nearer home, the dark side of one's soul.
The real term Anti-Christ does not mean any living being.
Although some people may use Anti-Christ when speaking of a Hitler 'type' character.
I don't feel Sai Baba is a Hitler nor do I expect most Western people. (The majority of people anyway, have no knowledge of Sai - either good or bad.)

Though Parthi Baba may be unique in the extent of his power and influence, the psychic effect he has on others isn't so unusual. I have collected these quotes: From QT: Message 2169 06-19-2002 04:50 PM ET (US) Some similarities to the Scorpion Incident in the early life of sb, from biographical notes of Aliester Crowley: "There is speculation that his future magical powers may have been refined after hand-crafted fireworks blew up in his face, rendering him unconscious for ninety-six hours when he was only sixteen. Again, it seems here almost axiomatic to associate an early strong shock to the immune system with the emergence of an intensified personal power, as in the case of other charismatic occultists, including Casanova." http://psychicinvestigator.com/Occult/Crowley.htm Message 2153 06-19-2002 01:10 PM ET (US) In a book by James Hillman, a Jungian psychologist, he quoted some admirers of Hitler who said that when Hitler looked directly into their eyes, they felt so much energy coming from him that they were ecstatic for some time afterward. -------------------------------------------------- And two quotes discovered by Brian Steel: "By this time I realized that the eyes of Mr Gurdjieff were of unusual depth and penetration. The word 'beautiful' would hardly be appropriate, but I will say that until that moment I had never seen such eyes nor felt such a look." Thomas and Olga de Hartmann, "Our Life with Mr Gurdjieff" --------------------------------------------------- "Now I really experienced for myself the sense and meaning of life with Mr. Gurdjieff and understood the significance of his personality for all of us. I felt as if, without him, the forces of life would stop, and that if he died, all that lives would die. I felt that his whole life's work would be undone." Thomas and Olga de Hartmann, "Our Life with Mr Gurdjieff"

It's true that simply calling sb 'sai baba' may confuse some Hindu visitors to this board as Shridi Sai Baba is a known and revered saint in India. The Baba of Puttaparthi has stolen his name. I suggest that a name used by Suresh Balaraman would be more suitable for discussion on this board: PARTHI BABA. (the baba residing in Puttaparthi) There are many 'babas' in India.

Mr Hari Sampath :-
"I think that Sathya Sai Baba is the biggest danger to Hindus, as he has brought very bad name to the great religion."
Basically,what YOU think,is your right and freedom,as an individual,Hindu,and a fellow human being.You do not represent the entire Hindu population in the World,nor does Sri Jayendra Saraswathi , Shankaracharya of Kanchi, nor does, Vishwa Hindu Parishad International President Shri Ashok Singhal.
This reply coming from you,goes to prove,at least circumstantially,that Sri Jayendra Saraswathi,Shankaracharya Of Kanchi,is behind your campaign,against Sathya Sai Baba alongwith Shri Ashok Singhal Of Vishwa Hindu Parishad and some political leadership .
Without going into the merit of the case here,as a nuetral observer,i feel,you are with the support of those individuals that you have mentioned,that you will take up "the matter"with,gives room,to innocents at large,that they are backing you,in some manner.
Further from your reply"I would make sure that the senior leadership of the VHP in India, as well as the Indian Govt are appraised of the matter.",you sound here,that the senior leadership of VHP in India,as well as the Indian Goverment,are "JUST" waiting from your good self,for them to be appraised of the matter,pertaining to Sathya Sai Baba,which is very questionable.
For innocent bystanders,here in the USA,UK,and other European Nations,the Indian Goverment today is led by Prime Minister Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee,The Vishwa Hindu Parishad is led by Shri Ashok Singhal.Both these prominent personalities are devotees of Sathya Sai Baba,a self proclaimed avatar of Shirdi Sai Baba.
What the moderator of this message board does not know or understand is,that there is an ambiguity,when only Sai Baba is being mentioned in this title for discussion.Many devotees of Shirdi Sai Baba(SSB),are also affected,by this seemingly innocent,aberration.Which should be corrected with specifics or is the moderator of this message board,wishe's to include Shirdi Sai Baba as well,as "ANTI CHRIST" with a question mark,of course?
Mr.Sampath,Who are you?What is your status and position in society?Are you a business person?Are you employed?Are you a spiritually advanced individual?Are you a person who is able to to listen to people's woe's,people's need's,people's need to understand meta-physical,and spiritual truths?Are you a person who teaches the values of Truth,Righteouness,Love,Peace,Nonviolence?What is the amount of lectures and speeches,that you have given so far,in the public?Are you spiritually qualified,from any religious Order?
By answering some of the above raised question's,innocent nuetral observer's would be better served.Don't you and the moderator of this message board,think so?That it would serve the public,who are, to a very large extent nuetral,in the welfare pertaining to Sathya Sai Baba.
The next obvious comparison would go to,Sathya Sai Baba,as to what he has done to society and his contribution to it?And how society has benefited by his teaching's of not only Hindu Religion,but also that of, the Christian's,Islamist's,Buddhist's,Jain's,Jew's,Parsi's, to name just a few of the religion's in the world.
I hope,that both of you, Mr.Hari Sampath and Mr.Anthony Thomas, would take the time, to reply to, some of the pertinent questions asked.

Re 2539 The exposure of 'sb' has nothing whatsoever to do with what nationality he happens to be. This is immaterial. It is his acts and not his nationality that is being exposed.If he were American or Chilean, he would receive the same treatment.
Re 2548 Sorry you are offended. I suggest you note that there is a question mark after Anti Christ and we are simply examining this possibility. I would also like to refer you to your guru's own words 'to pay not attention to attacks on him, but that he is aware and controlling everything that happens! May I suggest that he has inferred that he does not need you protection, as he is God!!

Does Indian law allow for hostile witnesses? Specifically, if we know (from this board, for example ;) ) of someone who has been 'handled' by this guru and are able to trace him down, can he be forced to give a testimony even if outwardly his faith still lies with his 'handler'?

/m2499 An observer: >> Sai Baba devotees are pretty much the same as those following other gurus in India. << In what way? >> Sai's discourses, Sai's idea of God, Sai's movement, Sai's setup in toto, is pretty much on par as any other guru actively teaching 'The Tradition' in India. << I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to seriously disagree with you there. But no one can be blamed, because this is a common misconception about "Indian spirituality", that "it is all one" and "many paths to one goal", blah blah, you know what I mean? It is a common misconception that this may be the sum total of what Indian spirituality has to offer, and apart from nominal differences between various gurus there is nothing more than this. I'd have to say that, broadly speaking, Indian spirituality is split up into two major divisions; the impersonalists and the personalists. Impersonalists are those who are generally Advaitic in their outlook, believing themselves to be one with God and to follow any sadhana that suits them to reach Him, and finally to merge into His impersonal identity. SB belongs to this category of gurus/philosophy. Personalists are those who have a much clearer idea of Godhood, being able to describe God in a much clearer way than the impersonalists, His features, His qualities, the way to reach Him, etc. I am a personalist. One of the major changes that occurred in my life after leaving SB was my discovery of how I was able to fully devote myself to the study of the REAL God (who is NOT Sb). I was fortunate to have come into contact with the teachings of a personalist guru for several years before my final exit from SB. These teachings and their effects enabled me to have a much clearer idea of God and spirituality, and also I was able to see the inherent faults in the impersonalistic philosophy that I had been blindly following for so long under the delusion that it was "superior knowledge". I could easily say that my exposure to personalism was a major factor in my choosing to leave SB. So if you say that SB's methods are "pretty much" the same as most other gurus in India, I would have to call you up on your error. I am also in the planning stage of a self-imposed project that is designed to show how SB is NOT in keeping with the "traditional setup" of India, and not even of his own tradition. >> Having spent months in India - I think I can safely post this as'the truth.' << After having spent months in India, I am very surprised at how you made your above comments that are obviously ignorant of the different traditions of India. Frankly speaking, I am extremely "proud" to be of a different philosophy and a different everything away from SB. Sanjay

The woman on Sai-autopilot presuming to be 'truelight' tells us: "Sai Baba has never been to the west and probably will never do so." Now I, as a well-suited breaker of false idols (iconoclast) reply: Oh! Really. So Sai B. is confined to India, is he? I think she badly needs to brush up on her old Sai Baba propaganda spiel! Swami is already there, everywhere, like Santa Claus, don't you know? He is therefore also necessarily in the heart of every sexual abuser and murderer, so hurrah! That he will probably never go to the West (actually) is a shrewd guess for a person of truelight's capacities. Not only has he said he would do so on several occasions to invitations from prominent devotees (Hislop, Bozzani, Pietro Marena, and the current one Robert Baskin who has built for the One and Only God's arrival to the cost of $1 mill.!! There is also Mother Sai House in Divignano, near Milan, where Sai B. ordered the extravagant apartments rebuilt for him to be changed so as he could have an authentic Indian-style bathroom toilet (I have seen it. He hadn't used it yet!).
But 'poor old Sai B.' has court orders waiting for him both here and there, and he has no control over the judiciary in USA, UK or Italy etc. Al Gore can't help him, he has lost both the election and interest in the big guru, it seems (he never signed up as Swami's favourite former Hamburger boy, Michael Goldstein, boasted to Argentineans when he flew in to save face after the exposé on TV there. Wary politician, Gore, you see!)
Truelight suggests "Why not look to your own country once in a while and find fault there.....and perhaps why (while) you are doing it, look within yourself and sort out yourself too." I find fault where faults are, and the worst one's where the worst ones are. She now advises finding fault with some country (is this good Sai B. thinking? Well, he does find fault with the whole world in every other discourse!. As to looking within myself , I don't need to any more than usual, I am centered within myself, yes, well-sorted. Not self-centeredly through self-deception as she apparently is! My country she does not know (country of birth, parents', nationality, residence?). I have lived abroad for decades anyhow. I have pursued self-knowledge for over 40 years, AND got past the Sai B. barrier. I am not irrationally attached to a specific nationality... but certain nations do have negative stereotypes which often apply more widely than its patriots would like. India especially so! I certainly shall not go to India again, but this is not on 'Truelight's' advice... nor is it because of the kindergarten nuclear Kashmir politics (with Sai as Vajpayee's helpless advisor). Such patronising and misplaced advice from this parroting lady is a laugh to anyone who knows me! That's about all the good in her postings, though.

God need not necessarily be of the conventional variety normal humans come to expect, like supporting babies, respecting women, profiting for gain ,positive actions causing joy, etc. God could well be of an order normally not perceived at the outer level or immediately understood in a worldly context.
Hitler was outwardly evil,but because of him we are today enjoying peace,respect,joy?eh#we realise the horror of war,realise the horror of atomic bomb explosion,realise that jews are good,eh#

To Anthony:
It was a surprise to me that my mild description of young men hanging around in shop doorways in Puttaparthi and Whitefield looking at the gals, stressed you somewhat.(I assure you it has been happening for about 30 years and considered a joke there.)
Yet, you don't mind - along with others here, to continue to find fault with Sai Baba, who is a product of his culture, his country and is considered a National Treasure, even those people who do not follow him, nonetheless, have respect for him.
(and those people who don't like him or his org. - do not spend time discussing him nor have interest in an expose.)
I think your expose is pointed (maybe unintentionally on your behalf)-- but all the same, pointed at India culture and their guru Tradition.
Sai Baba is a national guru - one of many teaching the Hindu tradition in India.
He is not like some of the other mass-market gurus who come to the west and build big businesses from innocent devotees who are conned into their fold.
Sai Baba has never been to the west and probably will never do so.

Thanks Beth, most of us want that to,truth and justice and that God will bring it "all out". I have been around for 23 years now with ssb, and in that time the mounting circumstancial evidence has been growing by the year.Sadly to say! And. I would have liked it the other way round. I also noticed many of his major predictions and even the small ones, have not come to pass.
Anyone! In the 1993 murders(beth no heresay here even that you were not a witness to it, it happened though). Did ssb make an official statment to the police as to give his side of the events. Normally everyone at a murder scene needs to make a statement. if he did where can I see it?
Hari Sampath, I acknowledge your sincere efforts also, to get to the truth and justice to come out from a wall of silence around ssb. This wall of silence that has a billion dollar industry going, interwoven with politics. Thanks for your sincere efforts, I think it is worth it-'truth and justice'.What do you say folks?

To sai-sex, I've read everything and I have reacted to everything, but it all remains heresay to me because I was not a witness or anywhere close to being a witness. I don't accuse anyone of lying though. I simply don't know. I do believe that God is in charge of all of this..and that justice, (whatever it is) will prevail.

/m2532if he dies before some or all of the proceedings - are the current charges sufficient to continue the case(s)?There is no fixed rule on this matter as far as law goes, several details as to who else were involved in criminal acts in association with Sai Baba , and to what extent these persons were guilty would be considered by the CBI/court. But generally speaking from past record, should an accused die in course of legal proceedings, the case ( that part dealing with the dead accused) will be dropped, while other people accused will be prosecuted. if CBI stalls the investigation - can the Supreme Court be approached to direct the sleuths to expedite?To the best of my belief, if the High court orders CBI investigation, and if the CBI stalls it deliberately, then the Supreme court can be approached to expedite the process. If the Supreme court itself had directed the CBI, they do so with a time and date defined, before which the CBI HAS TO file charges, so there can be no question of stalling by the CBI, unless the CBI applies for special permission to gather more evidence. In this case, the investigation would come under the direct supervision and jurisdiction of Supreme court, and the CBI will have to keep submitting regular status reports to court to justify the request for extra time.( in high profile cases involving influential personalities, normally such personalities are kept under arrest without bail, if a delay is expected in investigations, because these influntial personalities can affect investigations using their power) if the defense - with its money and power - stalls the case with a parade of who-know-who like liars who disrupted this board until a few days back?That will be wonderful !!! Lets all pray for it !! Because this means for each such "witness" paraded by Sai Baba, I would instruct my attorney to drag cross-examination for months together..... and Sai Baba will have to appear in court each day... from prison... the longer this takes to clear up, the better it is for me !! The TV networks will have a party for months together.... and the public image stuck permanently will be "Sai Baba ... the controversial godman , and accused in a case of cheating and pedophilia..embroiled in a prolonged criminal case" !! Who cares what the legal verdict is !! What more can we ask for ?? :-) !!! SB will be finished in the court of public opinion ! Hari Sampath

Mothers And fathers, keep your children away from ssb!
Beth, did you read Dr Bartia's reasons for leaving? please comment. For a person who has read "everything" and haven't read this,shows me they have not gone through the material properly. This one would have definitely stuck in your mind, sorry to say. And you really come across in a bias tone without realizing it for defending ssb., or is that on purpose? Even when you say you don't.

What can happen legally
As far as the Sai Baba case is concerned, the High court has the powers to direct the Govt of India and CBI to investigate Sai Baba. But , if for some reason they do not do so, as the petitioner, I have the excellent position of going back to the Supreme court saying " I followed the direction of the SC, but High court has refused, so I am appealing against it to the Supreme court, as it was the SC which directed me to go to High court". The Supreme court will have no other option at that point except to direct the Govt of India and CBI to investigate the charges based on the CBI complaint.
This does not automatically mean that Sai Baba is guilty of all charges. The CBI will have to finish investigation, and file a case against Sai Baba, with all necessary evidence, and of course according to law, Sai Baba and his organization will have the opportunity to legally defend himself in court with his lawyers.
Whether or not all charges are proved, Sai Baba will have to appear before cross examination and witnesses, and answer all questions. He may be found legally innocent or guilty, we don't know.
But one thing for sure I know, and I personally made sure of this when I filed the CBI complaint. Whether SB is found guilty of sexual molestation or not, there is at least ONE charge on which the Supreme court will 100 % find him guilty.
Claiming to be God , according the Supreme court , is an offence under the Indian Criminal code ( violating Sec 415, and 420 of the criminal procedure code). The same Supreme court had given such a judgement in another case involving a "godman", which reads as follows:
the godman was liable to be prosecuted under section 420 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Supreme Court held in a recent judgement.A division bench comprising Justices K T Thomas and M B Shah dismissed the petition filed by the godman Sri Bhagwan Samardha Sreepada Vallabha Venkata Vishwanadha Maharaj challenging the decision of the trial court to take cognisance of the offence as alleged by police.
`If somebody offers his prayer to God for healing the sick, there cannot normally be any element of fraud. But if he represents that he has divine powers and whether directly or indirectly makes another person believe that he has such divine powers, it is inducement referred to in section 415 of the IPC,' Justice Thomas, who wrote thejudgement for the bench, said.
As can be seen obviously, Sai Baba has been claiming for 60 years to be "god"... which according to the Supreme court , is a criminal offence. As the Supreme court has to go by its own precedents and bound by its own judgements, there is no way the Supreme court can avoid sentencing Sai Baba guilty on at least this count.
This is the reason, I included this important detail in my CBI complaint , as well as in the petition to SC. This was also the reason why the SC could not possibly reject my petition, and hence referred it to High court.
The above mentioned criminal offence will carry a minimum sentence of 6 months imprisonment and include a fine. But the main thing is, a judicial process will go on for a long time, and Sai Baba has to regularly present himself in court for the case, for probably 2-3 years , and will be questioned. This by itself is enough to break the "public image" he has got. This is the entire purpose of what I am doing.
I am NOT directing my efforts towards those people who had left Sai Baba, or those who will NEVER leave Sai Baba , even if he is imprisoned. For both categories, the expose efforts are not needed, their minds are made up already.
I am directing my efforts towards those who neither have positive nor negative opinion about Sai Baba, which is the general public, comprising of 99 %. If these people see what Sai Baba is, that is enough,.... no way Sai Baba is ever going to be able to spread his influence

Just one final clarification on the legal case position against Sai Baba and on what grounds Supreme court decided to hear the case and refer it to High court:
With reference to what I had posted about a PIL ( Public interest litigation) ( my comments in bold)
>>Who can file a PIL?
Any public-spirited person can file a PIL. ( The Supreme court accepted after going through all records that I was a public spirited person for this case)
It is not necessary that the petitioner has suffered some injury of his own or has had personal grievance to litigate. The Supreme Court has laid down the following principles governing the question of locus standi of a PIL. Any member of public having sufficient interest (SC accepted I had sufficient interest by way of former association with the Sai Baba movement) may maintain an action or petition provided: -
There is a personal injury or injury to a disadvantaged section of the population for whom access to legal justice system is difficult, ( SC accepted that minors, SB college students, devotees from abroad etc are at a natural disadvantage to get justice, because of Sai Baba's enormous public image and power with political leaders) The person bringing the action has sufficient interest to maintain an action of public injury, The injury must have arisen because of breach of public duty or violation of the Constitution or of the law, ( The point is that the Government by not investigating Sai Baba despite CBI complaint, has caused injury to the public) It must seek enforcement of such public duty and observance of the constitutional law or legal provisions.(the direction prayed for to Supreme court was to direct the Indian Govt, CBI to do its constitutional duty)
I hope that this clarifies the grounds as well as the legal standing of the case filed in the Supreme court. I did it after months of work, and hours of consultations with top attorneys, as well as case studies of hundreds of petitions , and also preparing every single legal and documentary evidence. This was not done in a loose manner, and in the same way whatever followup action needs to be taken will be done in as dedicated and as carefully planned fashion, at the right time.
Thank you,
Hari Sampath

/m2527I agree.... anyone is legally innocent till proven guilty. But courts , law, police etc....what I am doing is only part of the picture. People have their own judgement, and whether or not SB is "legally" found guilty, many people have their own opinions, based on what they have heard, seen, enquired, and known. In the end, as Anthony says correctly, there is a "SUPREME COURT" above all... The Almighty. Thanks, Hari Sampath

/m2514>>Why did not victims, whose affidavits Mr Sampath claims to have, not themselves petition on their own behalf - or at least one of them on behalf of all?<< 1. Because they all trust me. 2. Because I am an Indian citizen, and all the victims who gave affidavits were not, and hence I have locus standi in an Indian court. 3. MOST importantly, the PIL was based on the CBI complaint, where I was the complainant, and also with the FBI, to whom I had complained officially. Both these complaints had been accepted, and hence I would have to be the person to press litigation primarily. >>Why the 'detour' round the Supreme Court to the High Court?<< No "detour" was planned, I would have been happy to have got the final order from Supreme court itself as the law allows it. The law also allows the SC to refer cases to High Court, and so I have to follow the decision of the SC (* which actually is an advantage now*) >>Did Mr Sampath approach anoth OTHER law firm or firms, prior to his dedicing to go with the one who has representted him?<< The team of lawyers representing me were perhaps in the top 10 in the whole country , and the leader is one of the most sought after litigation attorneys. The decision was mine , after consulting with most important and active members of the expose working with me, as well as the victims. >>Did Mr Sampath ignore any legal advice from his own or any other law firm or firms?<< Yes, I overruled my attorney in deciding about the scope of the petition, and included all the factors besides sexual molestation too. My attorney team finally agreed.This turned out to be the right choice, as the financial scams charged against the Sai Baba organization turned out to be one of the major reasons why the SC directed me to approach High court. I was also able to include several violations of fundamental rights apart from sexual molestations, which is why the SC could not throw it out as without merit. No other law firm was consulted, although several lawyers in India assisted in the process. >>Does Mr Sampath think that any of his legal problems owe to his being ill-advised by others and/or ill-advising himself?<< Wrong, because there are no legal problems at all. What we got was a great decision from the SC, mainly due to the well documented petition, carefully represented legal points, and the excellent handling of the case by my main attorney. She openly told the Supreme court that "Sai Baba has divine followers including Prime Minister, and has a huge financial empire, so possibilities of investigation being tampered are present. That is why we want a concrete court order. If the UNESCO which is a reputed International org has publicly voiced concern, that by itself is a matter of public interest" She did a fabulous job !! >>Does Mr Sampath believe that any member of his law firm has opined that there has been corruption by any member of the Supreme Court in his case?<< That sort of an opinion , if expressed publicly would attract the provisions of "contempt of court", and a fine and imprisonment. As I am the principal petitioner, and the case is still alive, I cannot reveal what my attorneys told me in private, because this is priveleged Lawyer-Client information. >>Why has not Mr Sampath made the whole matter of his PIL far more open, inasmuch as the matter can be aired in public. It is a LONG LONG time now since the case. Why has he not shared more with us? Perahps, if any newspaper had taken any interest in the case, we would by now have known far more than Mr Sampath has been ready to tell us.<< It has been made as public as possible. I had even spoken about it to Newspapers , magazines, and it has been mentioned in The Times, Salon.com etc. It has also been mentioned , along with the CBI complaint in the Danish Documentary. Pease check all this. >>Does Mr Sampath, under the predictions of his legal advisors, consider that his case stands a fully decent chance of success?<< The fact that Supreme court hasreferred the case to High court, gives it a very high probablity of success ( if your chairman recommends something to you, obviously you will think there is merit and take it extremely seriously). However, I am gathering even more evidence to make my case iron clad. >>Why is Mr Sampath taking the brunt of this legal representation? If he had a wide cross-section of former devotees onside, would he not be besieged with many and generous offers of money to assist him?<< In Public interest, just as my petition says. Many prominent people on the SB expose have already helped out generously with money, and it is a group effort. Others have given various kinds of assistance, finally it is all dependent on God's Grace. >>Please Mr Sampath, insult and abuse me for asking these questions - otherwise, I shall feel quite left out.<< Thank you for asking these questions, and I apologize that you may have to continue to be left out :-) Hari Sampath

/m2522>>what then meaning go to hih curt so when this happnd y no one giving the rulling month day year<< What that regulation means is, NO ONE can file a PIL and withdraw it subsequently, because the cause for which the PIL is filed should not be affected by the individual's decision. For example, if I file a PIL against Sai Baba, and after it is registered, Sai Baba organization bribes me $ 1 million , and I withdraw the PIL, this will mean a similar PIL against the same person in the same court for the same cause cannot be filed at all by anyone else. So the cause will be permenantly affected, that is why the Indian law on PIL says that once registerd, a PIL cannot be withdrawn. The reason why I was asked by the Supreme court, to approach High court is the Supreme court felt that since the High court too has parallel jurisdiction on the same laws, they too can give a judgement. May 8th 2001 was the hearing, and Judgement. Thank you, Hari Sampath

from Iconoclast The previous posting by "truelight 2286 06-22-2002 " shows a very 'typical' and hence unoriginal Sai mentality, induced by the teaching that gives both the otherworldly, and the so-called 'inner reality' (subjectivity) predominance and therefore provides a biassed (pseudo) means of rejecting everything that could weaken the huge unprovable belief, namely that Sai Baba is God Almighty etc. etc. etc. However much experience one may have, this still remains a massive, unsubstantial assumption!
Truelight posted: "The problem with you people is that you concentrate so hard on the externals (bits and bobs) that you lose the real meaning of Sai - true experiences are internal and unique to each and every one. Only by your own personal experiences with you understand the 'ring of truth.' (Not by others.)"
We who have concentrated on the inner life for decades and experienced many things, but not at the expense of learning as fully as possible from the 'outer life' or reality, do not limit ourselves to our own 'personal experiences. We recognise that all personal experiences are formed by what we have learned and chosen to believe... they are subjective and often highly distorted, especially when the 'inner' conviction is held up. This is one-sidedness and bias in favour of an assumption that one fears might be shown to be unwarranted!
"But you cannot understand that."
Some of us understand a great deal more than this writer (who uses the arrogant, self-enhancing alias 'truelight' is evidently able to.
"V.V.Reddy has told you his experiences, revealed in detail his cure but you still doubt him. Why? Because you want to doubt - you want to find fault."
Misguidedly, she here assumes for her own ends that she knows that we WANT to find fault, we who have wanted to find the good and truth and have - after decades of association with SB, experienced his various 'leelas' and learned from experience and investigation that SB is not at all what he claims to be. Now we WANT the truth to be known and delusions dispelled.
"That is your problem - not Sai's problem."
It is her problem too, evidently, or why would she write about it? And is also Sai's problem, as his angry lectern-bashing and lying denouncement of Judases and demons criticising him for money showed all too clearly! The Sai Baba saga is far from over, be sure of that! But it surely cannot be as he had predicted it will be.
"The same goes for his birthday date. It was explained to you many times by different writers that in India you can have two birth certificates, depending on the year and the schooling provided etc. etc. But you failed to understand that too."
But the very thorough analysis of all the evidence by Mr. Brian Steel (found at www.exbaba.com) shows that this lady is ignorant of the sources and facts too."
She continues: "The problem is you tend to think of India being like the West but it is not. It is entirely different and has an entirely different viewpoint on the world."
Some of us have known India since the 1950s. The British kept very accurate registers, something Indians admittedly never had done in any areas of life before the British Sirkar. We who really know about India - not just through Sai eyes - are not so easily taken in by the superstitions to which SB also subscribes (eg. that Rama actually was 14 feet tall, that ogres existed (as Sai has definitively claimed), that the seminal fluid in Eshwaramma's womb was 'pure milk' - whether really or figuratively, (note: there now is overwhelming circumstantial evidence that SB is a homosexual abuser, at the very least!) . India is not like the West, true enough. The battle against human rights like freedom from sexual abuse of children has hardly so much as begun there. It is a very repressive and sexually unhealthy society, not least due to its burden of often absurd scriptures, advaitic negativism about social caste and the primitive agrarian and village and other prejudicial and despicable age-old traditions like temple prostitution, widespread wife-burning etc. etc. Besides, even many well-educated Indians (of which there are comparatively quite few in the world) are recognised the world over (but admittedly with a fair percentage of honourable exceptions) for often tending towards 'arrogance and ignorance' in Western terms.

/m2514PLease take a look at some FAQs about a Public Interest Litigation from www.advocates4u.com which is a leading legal online forum in India. Hopefully some of the questions in your message as well as other questions would be answered. http://www.advocates4u.com/_faq-PIL.shtml***************************************************** What is a PIL? PIL or " Public Interest Litigation" is a right given to the member of the public to maintain an action for judicial redressal of public injury. Such injury may arise from breach of public duty or due to a violation of some provision of the Constitution. The members of the public by filing a PIL are entitled to and seek enforcement of such public duty and observance of the constitutional law or legal provisions. What is the purpose of PIL ? Public interest litigation is the device by which public participation in judicial review of administrative action is assured. It has the effect of making judicial process little more democratic. What Courts have jurisdiction over a PIL?A PIL can be filed in any High Court or directly in the Supreme Court.Who can file a PIL?Any public-spirited person can file a PIL. It is not necessary that the petitioner has suffered some injury of his own or has had personal grievance to litigate. The Supreme Court has laid down the following principles governing the question of locus standi of a PIL. Any member of public having sufficient interest may maintain an action or petition provided: - There is a personal injury or injury to a disadvantaged section of the population for whom access to legal justice system is difficult, The person bringing the action has sufficient interest to maintain an action of public injury, The injury must have arisen because of breach of public duty or violation of the Constitution or of the law, It must seek enforcement of such public duty and observance of the constitutional law or legal provisions. What is the method of filing a PIL?The conventional method of moving a Court is by filing a plaint containing a detailed list of facts that are necessary for deciding the case. The PIL has jumped over this structural barrier. The Supreme Court has held that a PIL need not be rejected merely on the fact that it is not in the structural form of a plaint. The Court can admit a PIL even if it is not made in the manner of a formal plaint. The Court can initiate a PIL even on receiving a letter addressed to the Court whether with or without an affidavit.. Once a PIL has been filed it cannot be subsequently withdrawn. The Court may proceed suo motto. The was laid down by the Supreme Court to ensure that there are no vested interest of the people who initiate proceedings and that the cause for which the PIL was initiated does not suffer. ******************************************************** I shall shortly address those questions which require a detailed answer. Thank you, Hari Sampath.

/m2513Yes. It is. India is the ONLY country in the world where a Judicial "Public interest litigation" can be DIRECTLY presented to the Supreme court. It is the ONLY country in the world where even a homeless , poor, beggar on the street , can ask someone to donate a post card, and write 2 lines on it to teh Chief Justice of the Supreme court, and this letter is given the status of a legal petition. Credit for this should go to PN Bhagwati, former Chief Justice of the Supreme court of India, staunch devotee of Sathya Sai Baba, and a member of the Sai Baba Trust :-) Hari Sampath.

Why did did Mr Sampath go in as petitioner in this PIL?
Why did not victims, whose affidavits Mr Sampath claims to have, not themselves petition on their own behalf - or at least one of them on behalf of all?
Why the 'detour' round the Supreme Court to the High Court?
Did Mr Sampath approach anoth OTHER law firm or firms, prior to his dedicing to go with the one who has representted him?
Did Mr Sampath ignore any legal advice from his own or any other law firm or firms?
Does Mr Sampath think that any of his legal problems owe to his being ill-advised by others and/or ill-advising himself?

Its not whether you have to prove anything to me per se.When you have gone public and even have your own website trying to expose sb, the facts when they dont add up definitely i will point it out to you.Whether you wish to listen or not ,thats entirely left to you.Had i not pointed out to you especially your website even to this very moment does not say anything about SC of india ruling.I feel with your posts so far you are deliberately trying to mislead us or at least suppressing facts or both.
I am back to square one NOW and will accept all allegation against sb only when the court in india convicts him to be guilty.
As for you AT we all are aware of a higher power guiding us.The same POWER guides sb too.Do not for a second make a mistake thinking that sb is not subjected to that higher power,but if the higher power itself is sb then what?is my dilemna.Hope you understand my situation.

I am back to square one and seriously thinking 'sb' is NOT guilty especially SC of india refusing to deal with your case,whatever maybe that interpretation that you want to give us.I am suspecting foulplay here 'NOW'.

The SC can then either direct to some other court or handle it itself. In my case, the SC referred to to go to a high court under a legal article dealing with EXACTLY what the Supreme court does. This was done only because the case had merit. I had given all the details a few pages back. Refer to it. Hari Sampath

How did you judge this?I mean HS went to the supreme court and they did not think this way.There is no further -up- you can go beyond Supreme court-at least in the US.My research tells me that it is true for india too.HS is going to lower court.It is a reverse way of seeking justice.One files complaint in the lower court and if the verdict is not acceptable then we go to the next higher court and finally Supreme Court.In HS case he has been adopting reverse methods of approach.........its bizarre and now i am back to square one and have very serious doubts about all these allegations against sb and the people who are trying this expose...

We are not the justice department.But HS took all evidence to his highest court available and what was the nett result?Do you want us to believe the courts or believe people who talk to us about incidents,or read from the net regarding incidents?Who has to live in the real world?I think no man is guilty untill proved gulity untill then he is innocent.Our justice system at least works in this manner and i can safely conclude that it should be true in india too.Given to the fact that it is the largest democracy in the world thanks to all that is happening there we are more knowledgeable about that country.
I think AT you and others need to take a close look especially after these four days even though he had a mean streak but it was bitter truth that came out about how well one is being informed about expose activities.

Although there are undoubtedly many institutions /religions/gurus doing considerable harm to others, this board is solely concerned with 'sb.' We are not here to discuss or condemn other gurus or philosophers. Personally, I consider 'sb' to be a special case. In addition to inflicting his person on young boys, his sinister control of people extends beyond that which is always conscious and visible.
Re 2501. I haven't the faintest idea what you are referring to. No doubt I have been misinterpreted. But what else is knew!! My intention is for no-one to be attacked, whether male or female.

There is a saying from Sai Baba -
"good people don't become bad by associating with those of a lower nature, but they do come away with a smell about them."
In other words if you are wanting to find God (whatever the form or tradition) best to keep to the highest thoughts.
Don't dwell on darkness, don't give it a place in your heart.
Thoughts are living things and live within you, therefore you vibrate on the level of what you are imbibing.

Well said Anthony, :)
Personal experiences of the sexual type? -(rofl.)
Maybe we will not have to hear more rehashed stories from young men who have nothing better to do but describe their sexual encounters (according to them) on the anti-boards.
Personally I gave up reading such reports back last year. I would think any healthy persons would want to run from more pukey stories. And for them to be constantly rehashed shows an unhealthy interest in the dark side within yourselves. (smile).
I think for anyone to keep reading that stuff and trying to form a truthful opinion based on those writings is pretty sick indeed. There has been ample writings to digrest already, and ample postings from Sai devotees who have had other types of experiences with Sai, for just about anyone here (from 10 to 100 watts intelligence quota) to from an opinion.
Also it seems like the Sai Baba expose is aimed purely at Sai Baba -without any thought to other gurus living in India.
Sai Baba is pretty much a product of his country. He is only one (an important one - I agree) among many in India.
Sai Baba devotees are pretty much the same as those following other gurus in India.
Sai's discourses, Sai's idea of God, Sai's movement, Sai's setup in toto, is pretty much on par as any other guru actively teaching 'The Tradition' in India.
I would like to add there is a fair amount of competition among these gurus too. They, instead of spreading the oneness themselves, compete for power and position.
Having spent months in India - I think I can safely post this as'the truth.'

Excellent move, Anthony. You have begun to wrest back the QT Board in the cause of sanity and civilized values.
It has been painful to read the slanging and general nastiness increasingly pervading the Board. We don't need to be angels but, if it is at all true that any of us have aspired (in and out of devotion to Sai Baba)to be spiritual, kindly, tolerant, considerate of the feelings of others, etc., then there has been little evidence, at times, of such qualities in countless of the posts on this Board.
When there is is clarity and lack of confusion and conflict on QT, we will suddenly feel it.

I thought it may be time to repost this. It is a reminder for those 'sb' devotees who post here, who are so critical. I have always found it interesting that anyone could believe their guru is God and yet still feel he has to be protected by them.
Following is a quote from 'sb' telling his devotees how to act in relation to exposures about him (this was in reference to the last attack he received). It was taken from a letter by the 'sb' organisation that was circulated through Malaysia - by J Jagadesan - in an 'Open Letter to All Malaysian Leaders of Sai Centers and Youth Coordinators' on 7th October 2000.
He quotes 'sb'.......
"Many of you are pained by what some papers are indulging in, regarding me. Many are urging that something, should be done about it. But, I am holding everyone back, for that is the best way to deal with both praise and blame. The ocean knows no overflowing or drying, up. It is ever full, ever majestic and ever unconcerned."
In my 35 years of association with Bhagawan, on several occasions he explains such incidents as 'fly on an ear of an Elephant" which it is not necessary to be disturbed about.
Let us remember that nothing happens or moves without his wish. Everything that happens is for good. Just examine silently those who have "dropped out" or turned against Sai,and you will discover this truth! Do not condemn them! Do not vilify them - only pray that they find Peace and Love in their lives! ................(end)
One wonders why some devotees then continue to condemn and do not follow his instruction?
It is interesting that 'sb' has ordered everyone in the ashram from discussing the new exposure world news about him. He has apparently threatened them with 'banishment forever' from the ashram. An interesting kind of God, eh!!

To Beth re 2479 I am sure 'sb' is quite happy with your 98% committment to him. Re 2475 Interesting slip of the keyboard!! An underlying truth perhaps? Re dimlights/brightlights postings. Please don't anyone go there! Anyone who suggests that if there was any proof against 'sb', there would be court actions, doesn't live in the real world and hasn't bothered to look at all the evidence! It may simply be attempts to get the board tied up. We don't need to tie up the board in repeating things a thousand times over. It is often wiser to just give a reference site for them to read. http://www.snowcrest.net is still a valid site.

/m2478>>They are souls who are wide awake and what they have experienced is in direct contradiction to something evil or low in nature.<< If one is not sufficiently equipped to know what is God and Supreme Goodness, then how do you assume that one would know its opposite, which is evil ? Evil need not necessarily be of the conventional variety normal humans come to expect, like killing babies, raping women, robbing for gain ,malicious actions causing hurt, etc. Evil could well be of an order normally not perceived at the outer level or immediately understood in a worldly context. To just give a hypothetical example, someone for all purposes a saint and helping people enormously on a wordly level, may in fact be doing so for a much deeper rooted long term, malicious purpose, for which wordly goodwill is a necessary instrument. Who then is to make the judgement, each one will judge according to their perceptions and immediate knowledge and circumstances. If a Saint was actually leading large sections of humanity along a spiritual path that is positively dangerous for the evolvement of the souls, all the while doing wordly good, and also knowing fully well that such a path is not at all good, such a "saint" would be committing a sin far more heinous than Hitler's genocide. Can the ordinary person see this as "evil" at the time it is happening , especially when the saint appears to be the embodiment of goodness by wordly standards ? No, certainly not. Hari Sampath

<<But if you sought Sai Baba for help with your chronic illness and karma, obviously you had believed that he does have control over your karma, and could in fact change things for the better. Getting over karma is the first step in the spiritual path , and believing Sai Baba could do so for you is reposing your faith in the concept as well as Sai Baba the person . So, whether you knew it or not, you had "accepted" Sai Baba, in clearing hurdles in your onward spiritual path, and thereby he is indeed your guru.>>
If you want to use the word guru, go ahead. I have sought help from several people in this life...I don't really refer to all of them as gurus exactly.
I was detached from Sai...I didn't view him as anyone's personal guru, but an impersonal entity who was available to anyone who sought his help. He was not someone that one had to be "devoted" too, but one could come and go as one pleased...You didn't have to join a club...he was just there available to all. It was the oppossite of a cult to me...complete freedom to come and go as one pleases....no allegiance to him was necessary to receive help.

/m2468 >> He does proclaim himself to be the Avatar. I never said he didn't. He also claims to be God. I never said he didn't say that. The problem lies in how people interpret those words. << So how else are we supposed to interpret these words? :) SB says he is God and an Avatar. The correct way of interpreting that would be "SB is God an an Avatar." So how does one NOT come to the conclusion that this is NOT so? Or come up with some other weird explanation? >> There is no excuse for pedophelia. I don't excuse it. but I do question whether SB's behavior is really pedophilia. << So if SB is a self-realised being, what sort of "benevolent healing" is anal rape to a seven-year-old boy? Such disgusting anal rape that the boy suffered rectal bleeding and a torn anus, and you would have us believe this might, just MIGHT, be a form of benevolent healing from a self-realised person? Nah .. >> Therefore, I refrain from judging beyond what I know about him..or what I personally feel. << I thought you RELIED on your intuitions? :) >> I believe is a Self-Realized Being. I can't say whether he is or isn't an Avatar or the Poornar Avatar. I have no way of answering that for myself. But I do believe that he is a Self-Realized being. << That's great, but the point here is not what YOU think, but what he himself says. HE says that he is God and Avatar and whatnot, so how does that translate into "selfrealised being"? >> Sai is an energy, not a person. When he uses the term sai....it is not personal or egoistic referring to his body mind spirit. It is beyond the body, beyond the individuality. << So if I go to Puttaparthi tomorrow and have darshan, I am not viewing a person there, but an energy? Beth, you are free to think what you like and interpret whatever you like. We are only interested in facts here, and the facts show that SB is a nut. And a sex-crazed nut too. Sanjay

If you had sufficient & proveable evidence that Bhagvan Sathya Sai Baba has deliberately lied or committed an act even once,by this time your court case would have seen to that justice served.On the contrary,you are being subjected judicial interpretations and given the shove around.As for calling himself poorna avatar and making people believe it with actual proof in india,at least for us here we would like to see where this all goes with your actions.

WEll, I agree with you that some people may have such a blind faith, that they will not even consider other possibilities about the guru they have chosen to follow.. I don't worry about those people though. I let them be. They are there to learn too.
But then there are the people who are torn because they KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED with SB...They are souls who are wide awake and what they have experienced is in direct contradiction to something evil or low in nature. So, these people are in a quandry, wondering just where and what these allegations are about.
Many people are NOT blind believers of SB. But it's still up to them whether they want to look at the allegations or not. I don't worry about these people. Too many of them are intelligent souls, and I have to trust each soul to choose their own paths for themselves. I trust that they know what they are doing...as in the case of VV Reddy and others who still follow SB.

I disagree with that. I will still be heading in the same direction that I'm going...LOL. In this life of mine...I do not have to accept Sai Baba as anything or anyone. I am here to be a deviotee. That is not important to me or my development at this point. It is not important wheter he is the Poona Avatar to me or whether I know he even exists on this planet.This is why I say I am not a devotee... not in the true Indian sense of the word.
I was a beleiver in Sai Baba...98% (lol) believed that he was who/what he said he was. I never got to 100%.
<<Accepting that he is of a higher nature than yourself, but then applying your own interpretation of what he is, is like swallowing the camel and rejecting the gnat !!

Now , that is not true for all people, but for me, that is my truth.
It's not all or nothing for me. If someone earns my full trust, then I will trust fully. If someone earns partial trust, I trust accordingly. But I am not dependant on them for my life.
One reason ( I can't help but feel) that many are being turned away from SB, is, I believe, because they are suppossed to be developing their own judgement, not seeking or always looking for advice from outside of themselves..And they are supposeed to be finding the God -within, not seeking to live too dependantly on those who are higher in development. In other words, some are being sent out to pasture to live on their own..because it's time for them to do so, in their stage of development.

/m2472I do agree that Spiritual Masters may prescribe teachings to disciples according to their individual needs at that time, taking into account several different things. That doesn't explain the very basic factual contradictions that Sai Baba makes, with regard to individuals, names, places , incidents, dates etc, nor is it a valid argument to say that all these things have deeper significances. If he calls you Beth today, and then Catherine tomorrow just by mistake, then if you go on and assume "it must mean I had either been Catherine in a previous life or going to be in my next life"... well this exactly is the mentality that fanatic believers of Sai Baba have. A projection and extension of this mentality is what that leads them to think and say " If Sai Baba fondled genitals, and even seemingly had sex, it must have a great divine meaning which we cannot understand". Such an attitude makes it possible for all and every error of word and deed of Sai Baba to be explained away thus. I look at it from the other point of view. If he says he is what he is, then there can be no possible error at all, even once. From this point of view, and framework, if I have sufficient and proveable evidence that he has deliberately lied or committed an act EVEN ONCE , that contradict what he says about himself, then the whole theory of "poorna avatar " collapses. I am applying Sai Baba's own defined and stated high standards in analysing him, you are applying your own much lower standards in doing so, hence the difference. In fact I seem to have greater faith than you :-) LOL ... I had 200 % faith in Sai Baba's words when I was a devotee :-) Thanks, Hari Sampath

SB has to speak differently to different groups or individuals, because humans are at differing and various stages of development, temperment, cultural/religious background, etc... There are varying degrees of truth (or expressions of truth). There is also a vast variety of ways to express truth...and a vast array of colorful individual souls to express it. I.E., We are all different and our differenses "color" our understanding and way of seeing and expressing.
Some things that Sai Baba might say to one person, might actually be dangerous or wrong advice for another individual. And some things that he might say to one group from a certain cultural background, might be contradictory advice for people from another cultural background. So, this can easily (imo) explain why the "seeming" contradictions are there in his speech, in his advice, his teachings, his prophecies etc...

>>Sai Baba, I believe is a Self-Realized Being. I can't say whether he is or isn't an Avatar or the Poornar Avatar. I have no way of answering that for myself. But I do believe that he is a Self-Realized being. <<
That again is your own interpretation, in fact clearly contradicted by Sai Baba in the most straightforward terms. There are hundreds of speeches and interviews in which he says he is NOT a self realised being, but instead a "poorna avatar". He clearly makes this distinction between a self realised being and a poorna avatar. He says that although anyone can become a self realised being, it is impossible for anyone to be an avatar.
He makes this distinction between a "karma janma" and "leela janma",( karmic birth and birth of sport) meaning, even the life of a self realised being is for the purpose of realising self, and comes attached with it, all the past karmas of previous lives, both good and bad. Even a self realised being would not have any control over the place and station of birth and life, but Sai Baba says it is the poorna avatar alone who is born with no trace of karma, good or bad, choosing the time and place of birth, and his life is a divine sport.
A self realised being is one on the upward path, and having attained it, but an Avatar is a downward descent.
So, if you think that Sai Baba is a self realised being, you are wrong ( according to Sai Baba himself ). Even pursuing your line of thinking for just argument's sake, a self realised being , at the very minimum, would have to be absolutely Truthful about spiritual levels of knowledge etc. A self realised being would not call himself/herself an Avatar. According to Sai Baba ( and I agree with him on this, he is correct)there may be any number of self realised beings present at any point , in the world, but an Avatar is always ONLY ONE.
Hence, in Sai Baba's case, there is no question of there being any grey area, or anything open to debate or interpretation. You can either accept him totally, or not, there can be no via media or in betweens. As a matter of fact, from my personal experience, I can tell you that even in order to experience Sai Baba ( if you are a devotee) fully, you cannot take the position " I think he is this... or that... I accept this teaching.... this is my interpretation" etc.... NO way... you will end up nowhere.
Accepting that he is of a higher nature than yourself, but then applying your own interpretation of what he is, is like swallowing the camel and rejecting the gnat !! If you truly accept he is a self realised being, how come you do not trust his word over your own judgement which is that of a normal human being ??

Well, explaining this can get convoluted.
Before I get into it, I want to say that don't subscribe to the "all is God, therefore anything and everyhting is moral, legal , ok, etc..." that's one concept that some people have used to excuse Sai Baba's alleged behavior. I don't. There is no excuse for pedophelia. I don't excuse it. but I do question whether SB's behavior is really pedophilia.
Therefore, I refrain from judging beyond what I know about him..or what I personally feel. I refrain from being disgusted with him or being too attached to SB and his activites. We average, mortal humans cannot always know from viewing the surface of things, what might be taking place on deeper levels. The only reason I leave the door open with SAi Baba is because so many thousands of people have expereinced SB as a benevolent healer, and guide and protector in their lives. He may look like a pedophile to some. He may look like a criminal to some. And to others he is a healer and a powerful entity who does good. I can't say what he is.
To get back to your question...Sai says "I am God, and so are you , but you don't know it yet." In other words , Sai is more developed in Self-Awareness than most of mankind. He is beyond man in his God-Awareness. Sai Baba, I believe is a Self-Realized Being. I can't say whether he is or isn't an Avatar or the Poornar Avatar. I have no way of answering that for myself. But I do believe that he is a Self-Realized being. But there is still much that I don't know about the deeper truths of life..and that most people don't know either.
<<<... he clearly says that " the entire universe has evolved out of Sai"... he doesn't say "Beth is the avatar, the entire universe has come out of Beth">>
Sai is an energy, not a person. When he uses the term sai....it is not personal or egoistic referring to his body mind spirit. It is beyond the body, beyond the individuality. Again, SAi is an energy , not a person or an ego, or an individuality as we know it. The word "Sai" is meaning "the Cosmos" as he is using it. This is what he means.
He is not speaking from the EGO (the individuality) of the body of Sathya Sai Baba... And neither was Jesus when Jesus said "I am the Way, the Truth and the Light"....Jesus was speaking as "One with God consciousness"..merged in God the Father... He was speaking as the Christed One ( the self-realized one) The Father is the Way, the Truth and the Light, not Jesus the man/ Jesus the body. When one is merged with God, one speaks as God.

So how do you interpret it ?
What I had mentioned in my earlier post was Sai Baba says he is God incarnate, and the Poorna Avatar the ONLY avatar, no greater avatar has ever been born etc... he clearly says that " the entire universe has evolved out of Sai"... he doesn't say "Beth is the avatar, the entire universe has come out of Beth"
SB changes the tone of his message cleverly depending upon where it is going. For instance, he has been saying all his life he is the reincarnation of Shirdi Sai Baba, but when a Times of India correspondent asked him the same question, SB gives a very evasive and vague reply:
>>Questioner: How do you relate yourself to Saibaba of Shirdi?
Swami: This body has not seen him. <<
See what I mean... why not give a bold strong straightforward answer saying " I am the reincarnation of Shirdi Sai Baba".... but SB would not.,.... he knows very well that the normal people will start laughing... so he has one set of answers for the so called SB devotees which say " I am Rama, Krishna, Father of Christ, Shirdi Sai Baba " etc, and another set of responses for the general public like " I am God, you are God, all is God, I am aware of it, you are not" etc.
Come to think of it the latter response is the one you give to people on the spiritual path, who can be better expected to understand the "all is god" concept, and the general public is the one who needs straightforward answers like " I am an Avatar"...but Sai Baba doesn't do that... in order to be less controversial. This was my point all the time

He does proclaim himself to be the Avatar. I never said he didn't. He also claims to be God. I never said he didn't say that.
The problem lies in how people interpret those words.

Thanks, but I am not going to be baited into a foolish argument in which the outcome is uncertain.
You have no knowledge of what you speak, and yet you speak as if you know it all. This betrays a certain conceitedness that is not worth bothering with.
It would be much better for you to realise what a fake Sai Baba is, and the better for all of us.

Re..........I think we have indulged enough from our friend in India... Phew, he reminds me of all the bad encounters I've had with Indian men 'near and around' S.B. over the past decade.
It appeared like a parting shot and antagonistic to someone leaving the board. If it was not intended so, then I apologise.
I have deleted a post that was having another shot at VVReddy - plus his reply where he kindly suggested the deletions. I think it would be best if we got on with truth of the subject at hand rather than use space with emotional reactions.

No, that's not true. You guys have not studied Sai's words closely enough at all. I've had over 15 years of reading Sai quotes...I know by now what he stands for...and what he means when he speaks. And I'm not talking about phrases and concepts borrowed from the Vedas, etc...I'm talking aobut his own natural original words out of his mouth, which shows me his awareness, his consciousness, his common sense, etc...

There you go again reading something in a message that is not there. Golly Anthony - please.
If I were anti Sai - I would have had your full support but when I speak the truth - and it is the truth - and put nicely...you complain.
Talking about crude, well Jag baby was it.I could have put my views a lot more 'upfront', if I had that sort of mind but I don't.
I have already explained to V.V. what I feel on the board address provided by him!!!!
Go and look ----
Women have rights too - Good God man - you insult me.
By the way when was you last in PP or Whitefield?
Everyone there complains about the terrible stuff going on - and you say you want to stand up for truth.

Re 2456 Good point made re Christianity.
Truelight. There is no need to express your personal feelings about a particular nationality on this board. And no-one can be blamed for defending themselves against such a statement.
Perhaps more tolerance for the incredible and wonderful variety of all the world cultures and beliefs would not be a bad way for us all to go. Surely, everyone comes together to make a great richness and a broad picture of humanity. All people, all races, being equal in every way.
Please do not attack departing members. Anyone leaving this board goes with our love and good wishes. I sincerely thank VV Reddy for his wishes for me. I shall do my best.

Quoting Andries"In other words V.V. Reddy admits that the SSB org has a cult like structure and secrecy. I can understand that if one has faith in SSB as an avatar there has to be a hierarchical structure but I can't understand the secrecy."are you suggesting that Christanity is a cult?Are you suggesting the Pope at the Head of Papacy is absolutely OPEN.Andries the entire world witnessed how OPENLY the Bishops,Priests and other officials of the Church were scrutinised for the Pedophilic activities?
Madam Truelight quoting you"I think we have indulged enough from our friend in India... Phew, he reminds me of all the bad encounters I've had with Indian men 'near and around' S.B. over the past decade."have i insulted you anyway,that you so disparagingly blame Indian men?How dare you,madam?

To Anthony and Beth, others,
I think we have indulged enough from our friend in India... Phew, he reminds me of all the bad encounters I've had with Indian men 'near and around' S.B. over the past decade.
Western women are 'mostly' treated badly out there in the East - where we are thought of as cheap,easy and rich. And they have no regard for our age -or rank. (married or single.)
Our 'two' friends brought that clearly home to me over this weekend. And how offended I have felt on many of my trips to India, by these loose tongue - cheeky young men who seem to hang out of every doorway in PP, Whitefield.
As for these 'characters' being Sai devotees - Oh, do get real - Alex.
They are only arrogant, boastful,presumptuous,self-important people who visit the ashram. And yes, Sai Baba probably loves them and is likely to give them places in his Organisation.
Afterall ... ;) his organisation is nothing but a hospital -as he points out to us time and time again.
Sai Baba has few nice people around him - nice people don't need the 'treatment' nor the medicine.
Cults?
The Sai's movement is the exactly the same as most other spiritual movements in India. They all function the same way. They are all full of 'self important' people with loose mouths wanting powerful places and self importance in the name of spirituality.
(Much the same as with the churches here.)
I would say it is the same with every organisation and govenment in this world. (East or West).

I can understand that the SSB org has some reason for this desire.

It is a pity that those people from India backgrounds have to bring their personal intolerances onto this board. It is also a pity that some also use foul language on a public board, or other sexual discriptive words etc. that many women find offensive and belittling.
Please 'persons' from Indian backgrounds, remember you do not use these words or discussions in front of your-------------------
mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, girlfriends and wives ----------
being that it is not the done thing in India.
I too, even though a Western women, find your expression of pent-up feelings let loose on this board wholey unnecessary and childish. This particular message is aimed at a person called Jag but it is meant for all of you that express unnecessary 'low' language.

You are absolutely right Anthony - no one wants to listen to two ego 'hotheads' talking about their country, their interests, their caste, their guru. (Their leaders, their political views on and on). It is all one-up-man-hip and typical of many Indian men.
btw way Anthony I could never answer your questions because I could never find them in all this unnecessary cluttering of the board.
Also, the foul language from 'jag' - well we don't need him. (I think he may be 'persona' other half to V.V.)

This board has been set up for a specific purpose. To help those with genuine doubts about 'sb' or need of support during their time of disconnecting from him. Over the years we have learned how to tell those who are genuinely seeking help and advice.
T0 VV Reddy I feel you have been given ample time now (150 posts) to express your view. We understand that you have no doubts about your guru, but your posts have been accepted on this board as there have been benefits in the exchange of communication they have offered. The differing view also hopefully teaches us all to be more tolerant and accepting of those who still feel committed to their guru. However, I feel the time has come to bring this board back fully in line with its intent. I wish you well with your future life and may you walk in the true path of Light.

Swami hopes he will have something like the Vatican Country.Prashanthi Nilayam at Puttaparthi is transformed totally by Swami from what it used to and what it is today.Critical talks will always be there,but one should look at the good and balance things and come to proper conclusions.Anyone and anything can be debated,and torn asunder,Swami is no exception.He has been weathering so much of resitance from 1940,that itself is another MIRACLE.

The plant load factor has always been well above the national average and secondary oil consumption is also much below the national average (1.53 ml/Kwh against 4.13 ml/Kwh) (97-98) ROFL ROFL,poor Chandra Babu Naidu,our Chief Minister is doing so much for out Telegu Desam,you of all the people who has applied for your green card,dare to comment about us.I know America needs software professionals as they are in great need,in fact many of my friends are there.So,buddy,cool it,not another spin from you,ROFL ROFL.Its even more funny coming from you,especially our neighbhouring state Tamil Nadu,which Hari Sampath hails from,is so deep in water shortage,power shortage,but,their CM Madam Jaylalitha,a fellow Iyengar to boot,corrupt to the core,ROFL ROFL.Are begging for water from us thru Krishna River Project with already a dispute with other neighbhouring state of Karnataka,these tamil arrogant,have nothing but empty talks.

Here is a recent letter to the editor by a Hyderabad guy !!
>>Power Problems: ' Switch it ,Shut it, Forget it....'
The much touted reform process in A.P. appears like the theatre of the absurd, take the case of electricity department , what was projected to the people was that they would get quality power at competitive rates, but alas all our expectations were belied. We get more than we bargained for, as our Electricity board suddenly quotes some gibberish which we do not comprehend and bingo there is stratospheric rise in power tariff, in order to keep TRANSCO & GENCO in good health. And they are sure to have good health after all. They are fleecing a lot of moolah from us and now quality power is the mantra.
As usual this mantra is not working, as we could see, that TRANSCO is still supplying us with two types of power one is 300+ Volts (normal power is 220 Volts) and the other is 90- Volts and the people residing in these two areas need candles to make things visible. As in 300+ Volt areas, when they switch on the bulbs they invariably tend to get burnt and hence they are afraid to switch on the lights . And in 90- Volt areas the light is so dim that they need candles and with the steep hike in power tariff everybody now needs candles !
The less said the better about power cuts in the city. Now with the onset of Monsoons thanks to the Electricity Department the rains shower with free complimentary power cuts for the people to enjoy the rains in all its natural splendor . <<<
So, I am lying about power cuts ??? I was trying to call my relative through the internet for the last 2 days... and he told me that they have had power in the city only for 12 hrs out of 48 hrs , entire city..so just think before you lie .. moron !!

/m2419 V.V.Reddy: >>The very Hare Krishna Movement rocked by child molestation,pedophilia,child abuse in the gurukulas,and bankruptcy because of a convenient loophole in the American justice system,ROFL ROFL.<< Well this is a nice strategy of SB devotees who point fingers BACK at accuser's own movements (which are separate from personal religious beliefs) with no result at all. Same has been done against other people. Well the difference is, all the "crap" that happened in ISKCON has and is being investigated, processed and the investigations are made public. No one has their heads buried in the sand and EVERYONE is aware. Also, those who are found guilty of any "crimes" are penalised, regardless of their position spiritual or or otherwise. Now has the SB Org even performed an INTERNAL investigation, let alone a public external one? I think you will find the answer to be a resounding "NO." BTW, isn't it hypocritical of you to criticise ISKCON and then turning around and copying slokas from my posts and also making use of SP's teachings? Sanjay

I have caught you out dozens of times....and by the way.... at least 15-20 times of your so called "posts from Hyderabad"... in the last 2-3 days , are when the Hyderabad city was experiencing all out power shut down due to electric grid failure... LOL :-) get real, and at least try to lie cleverly :-) Also, each time you click any link on my website ( as you recently did for the Vajpayee Blair letters)... I get a notification... I have configured you specially for that... so don't think you are even clever... you are just a dumb fool... in keeping with your "guru and god" :-)

Anthony Thomas i quote from one of the posters here""Thereafter, at the conjunction of two yugas, the Lord of the creation will take His birth as the Kalki incarnation and become the son of Vishnu Yasha. At this time the rulers of the earth will have degenerated into plunderers." [Srimad Bhagavatam 1.3.25]
"Thereafter, at the end of Kali-yuga, when there exist no topics on the subject of God, even at the residences of so-called saints and respectable gentlemen of the *****three higher castes********, and when the power of government is transferred to the hands of ministers elected from the lowborn ********shudra class or those less than them******, and when nothing is known of the techniques of sacrifice, even by word, at that time the Lord will appear as the supreme chastiser." [Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2.38]
Caste system is deep rooted in India,you need special brain and attention to understand the mechanics of it,especially if you are an outsider to the ways of our life.Since you are in total awe of Hari Sampath, a Sri Vaishanava,i doubt you understand what typical traits such communities display.I am in no way degrading anybody here,but just telling you natures displayed.Its not stereotyping,but shows patterns,and methods of madness.
Srimad Bhagavatham and Bugawath Gita are two Holy books of Hindus,in fact the word HINDU,itself will never be found in any of the ancient text,its a corrupt form of addressing the native people of River Sindhu,which later came to be called the Indus Valley Civilisation.Subsequently the mogul conquerors called Hindustan (place of the Hindus).
My respect for you has only increased from earlier because,you are showing outstanding temperment for 'tolerance' of a beliver of another faith.Thanks.You are proving every Sai devotee wrong.Thanks,i owe you one.

Quoting Hari Sampath"Tens of thousands of people saw the original , pitiable , begging letters published by the SB org... so ask the SB org this question" so Sathya Sai Organisation invitation to a Head of State is"begging letter"ROFL ROFL.Mark My Words,the atrocities committed by British and especially Christians will bring them such untold miseries,for they are using and abusing Jesus Christ,for their own selfish needs.Take the case of Brits,wherever they went they colonised and spread their religion of Jesus Christ much to the consternation of the local natives.New Zealand,Australia,South Africa,USA-all the natives,the aborigines and other local tribes like the native americans were wiped out from the face of earth barring a few,all in the name of Jesus Christ.
The power of Jesus Christ,Allah,Brahman,Yahway,Azura Mazda,and other divine originations are all rolled in the Sai,who in its triple incarnation will teach the perpetrators of crime,a lesson of the ages.Just watch and see how events will unfold.But,i still feel that Srimad Athivan Satakopan alias Kidambi Srinivasachar,should be termed as anti-christ,a vishista-adavaita exponent,who hates Jesus Christ like crazy,of which you and your family are die-hard devotees,a Sri Vaishanava.

The people who did this were the Indian SB org, so with a rustic , crude SB as its head, you can well expect it. The SB org published the "public" letter from Vajpayee as well their own letter to Blair on their website. When Blair's visit was stopped by us, and when we published Blair's response ( written to MP Tony Colman)... the SB org beat a hasty retreat, and took down the original letters... cowards !! Tens of thousands of people saw the original , pitiable , begging letters published by the SB org... so ask the SB org this question.
( and btw....you know NOTHING of the British or anyone else... just shut up and go to sleep... its late in UK,..... yes, I know where you are.... there is something called IP addresses) VV Reddy aka Rkmsr aka Sai Baba 1926... you stink a mile away... perhaps 3600 miles away at least... and probably more.

As for the Christians,the Bishops,Priests,activities of pedophilia rocking the foundation of faith in so many Catholics.At least in Swamis case,none of it has been proved conclusively,and its all wild allegations,innuendos,wilfully staging violent drams.

How utterly unbelievable and disgusting it is when people degrade themselves by going to any length to try to justify SB's "mistakes" [for want of a better term], even as far to the ridiculous notion that SB is merged in God-consciousness, and this is somehow an explanation??
IF SB was in God-consciousness, why does he make so many errors in his discourses about known historical events, et al? You would think that "God" would supply him with the correct information, right? :) Oh I forgot! SB claims to be God in his discourses! :)
And right after making such an ASTOUNDING declaration, he will return to his rooms for an all-night session of debauchery.
That's what God is all about, and if you don't understand that, you're still at an immature level of spirituality and you need to make some serious advancement to get to my level.

Because the Sai Baba organization decided to put it on the internet, on their website.... and I am afraid the internet is hardly private :-)( Note that PM Vajpayee himself had sad that they are going "public" with that letter)

/m2225 >> I still see the decency in the current devotees, but I have seen little of it in the anti-sai side. I don't recognize who these people are.. They don't have the same qualities as the devotees I know. They are lacking in fundamental understanding of the basic truths that SB teaches... << I don't think so. People tend to forget that after having gone through a personal "dark knight of the soul" (pun intended) most of their feelings are of deep hurt, betrayal, anger, vindictiveness, lashing out, spitefulness, etc etc etc, and in my opinion this is quite justified and perfectly natural considering the extent of the deception that affected them. More of it, I say! >> Most of the so-called pro-side of this board are intelligent people sharing spiritual thoughts and feelings and their own experiences of Sai Baba... << ...while simultaneously mocking the "spiritual thoughts and feelings" of those who are on the "anti-Sai" side. With deviated theories about caste, conspiracy theories, lying, employment, blasphemy, and then of course the swearing. Not very spiritual indeed. /m2170 >> HEY...God is NOT a man or a body...God is a consciouness. God is not Jesus, God is not Krishna, God is Not Sai, the body...All of us spiritual students should understand these terms by now, and not still habor some naive notion that God is some MAN in the SKY lording over the world...and that Sai is claiming some exclusive position in the universe << Well I could do what I always do and ask you for some backup for your ideas but I guess you have none, as usual. Also, what you said is wrong. And I don't care how you defend it by calling it "intuition" or "experiences", it is still wrong. >> And I can hear Sanjay getting ready to call me a blasphemous fool. lol << Well it's rather unfortunate that you have preconceived notions. I wouldn't say you were blasphemous, but just a fool. The idea that God is "consciousness energy" is part of the whole truth, but not the full version. Actually, the idea that God is consciousness is pretty naive, while the actual idea is that God is a person. And guess what? I can back myself up. :) /m2146 SAISHOOT: >>Lord Vishnu is belived to have changed to be an enchanting woman called MOHINI and seduced Lord Siva..were they sexual perverts..?? << Other way around, mate. Mohini did not seduce Shiva. Mohini was so exceptionally beautiful that Shiva temporarily fell prey to a transcendental form of lust. I can even check it out for you if you want. By the way, I came across an earlier post of yours in which you sarcastically urged me to carry on studying the shastras so that I "relinquish my ego" or some other thing. Well thank you for your encouragement, because it is BECAUSE I have read the shastras and understood who God is that I perfectly know that SB cannot be God. There can be NO similarity at all. As for my ego, I prefer keeping it, since all what SB says about how we need to get rid of our egos is also a bunch of crap that passes for "high-class spiritual teachings" nowadays. Also, stop whining about how "egoistic" I am and whatnot. You failed to answer a few simple questins of mine about SB's divinity. I asked you to objectively prove it and you either can't or won't, so this sour grapes doe not affect me at all. :) /m2099 [Most laughable post I have read so far] >> Roshan, Mike, and some others, and now you too Alex, will only go after the women. There' something suspiciously "sissy" about that. I have always had a theory about men who do this.....guess what it is... a certain type of homosexual male will behave like this. << LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO ... where had I ever once said I was a victim of Sai Baba's sexual molestations ??
With reference to the online petition being signed by the victims or not... Conny Larsson and Hans de Kraker had signed it... others explained to me why they did not want to sign it. However everyone chose to sign and present legally attested affidavits for my petition in Indian courts and CBI, and FBI... thats their decision.
You are posing the question " how come nobody came out of the interview room screaming rape". I pose the question " how come nobody till date has ever written once about Sai Baba's so called healing by fondling genitals" ?
How is it possible for a young man to come out "screaming rape" from the interview room, when the whole lot of people outside believe SB to be the "avatar", including their immediate family. Especially when these young men themselves believed for a long time that these sexual acts were in someway "divine" as brainwashed by Sai Baba.

Not many people here seem to understand me well,but then,every man/woman is an individual,god has given each and everyone of us the same talent and skills.They have to decide on their own.To my best of my ability,i have played ball with all here,i have stooped low and fought in the same level as i was attacked,and i have shown equanimity when called for.My consceince is very clear.

V.V. Reddy, Devotees who come here are supposed to be interested in the question whether SSB deserves their trust. I see only little sincere attempt by you to answer this question. Why don't you go study http://www.exbaba.com and compare it with e.g. http://www.sathyasai.org ? Try to find out whether the statements of SSB are better founded than those of ex-devotees and skeptics. There is excellent material on the 'Studies' section of http://www.exbaba.com Kind regards, Andries K.D.

To Anthony :
I think Anthony, it is high time to apply the standards of this board in practice. This is NOT a pro vs anti Sai Baba board.
As far as I can understand from my association with this board from the begining ( even in earlier versions), this is a board for ex devotees to discuss their experiences about Sai Baba, and for discussing the impacts the fraud of Sai Baba has caused to their personal and spiritual lives.
However much Beth or others like VV Reddy may try to expain it, this is NOT a place for Pro versus anti arguments , and these arguments can be taken elsewhere.
So, I request you to delete all posts referring to Pro Sai Baba or attacking those who expose Sai Baba, and not alow similar people or posts in future.
Since you have time and again re-defined the purpose of this board, I request you to ACT upon it.
Thanks
Hari Sampath

Hari well done you have killed him, VV give it a rest your looking like a fool !
I can hardly see any remote connection to what Sai Baba says or does , to Lord Sri Krishna.... SB is a mere liar and a fraud.... and Lord Sri Krishna was the Lord Almighty in Human form... a Purna Avatar
Well done this sums it up in a nutshell, VV give it a rest ur looking like a complete and utter twat.

VV Reddy... I recommend that you take a course in English. The Supreme Court HAS NOT TURNED ME DOWN. ( by the way, the Supreme court only has to deal with law and evidence, and has no need to be "polite" to citizens of India)
They have accepted, acknowledged and heard the complaint about Sai Baba, and even recommended a specific course of action under a specific Legal article in a specific court. This is conclusive proof that the Highest court in India HAS SEEN MERIT in the case.
If you choose to pretend to ignore it, its your choice... but no one else is fooled.... we can quite see that you are unable to explain why the SC gave such a verdict, and are desperately trying to put your own spin on it , which fools no one.

If I am "relying" on stories, Icons etc .... about Lord Sri Krishna ... so is SB !!! So.. you don't believe SB ?? LOL :-) He quotes extensively from Vyasa's Mahabharatha and the Bhagavatham .... you don't believe SB then,.... ok... say it openly.

The argument doesn't hold good when it can be shown to be a factual lie in the face of recorded facts.
I am willing to accept even "spiritual explanations"... if any is offered, after due analyses.
But on the face of facts...If it looks like a duck, squaks like a duck, and walks like a duck...it's probably a duck :-)

For argument sake: Quoting Swami from his discourse on May 25th 2002,"The Buddha too made similar effort to find the source of happiness. He searched for God everywhere, and at last found that God was within him. He realized that he himself was an embodiment of Ananda (Bliss)."
We have other quotes in the forum from many people like Andries,Hari,...
The situation is,i am believing one of the recent quotes of Swami as early as May 25th 2002,whereas someone else is wanting to believe and give ALL the importance of another discourse,with some valid point.
The discourses have been told by Swami on diffrent occassions,yet each one of us want to hold what is convenient for him or her.Why?

VV Reddy - can we ask you to elaborate more on your experience? Like who else was there at the time, what exactly did he do, was either of you sexually aroused or was it an entirely spiritual experience, did you pass out, has it been the most pleasarable experience you have ever had....Also, were you cured right away or was it gradual? Were you asked to apply the vibuthi yourself subsequently?
If you would rather not reply with specifics, it's okay.

As far as audio tapes are concerned,i have plenty of them.I know Swami has deliberately told sometimes which are in total variations of real time situation.Krishna has done similar things and there is for everyone to see,and i can start an entire debate on it.This is not the forum for it.Instead of names dropping to me,why did you not go directly to Swami,and confront him with all your wild pre conceived and ill informed knowledge.After all Chakravarthi garu OWES you an OBLIGATION,ROFL.

>>Yes, Mr. Reddy, this seems to be a common misperception of many of the anti-side...this misconception about SAi's proclaimed divinity.<<
To Beth:
There is no confusion at all about SB's "proclaimed divinity".
He says " If someone asks you where is god, ask them to go to Puttaparthi"
"I am Krishna and Rama and father of Jesus"
Beth..... SB doesn't say that you or me is all this... he says that "he is all this".
SB devotees hide behind this so called spiritual truth of "all is god" when confronted by facts that show that SB is NOT an avatar... sb himself hides behind this.
SB is claiming he is an "avatar".
SB has been proved to be a cheat, a liar and a molestor.
The Spiritual concept that "all is God".. doesn't answer the fact that SB is a fake, nor can it be an excuse ( would you accept if I said that Hitler was god, because all is God ?"

Dear Blown Out --
I totally agree ( with your latest posting ).
However, this subject seems to bring up strong emotions in some people...and a need to make the 'other side' feel stupid/or naive for their beliefs.
And then , when a normaly kind and tolerant soul is insulted and attacked with no real provacation, then that sometimes leads to a series of angry words being bantered back and forth ..until, hopefully, they can find some understanding between them.
People are people, but I've often said that I don't understand why SAi Baba cannot be discussed with detachment... I don't think *he* is important at all...nor is his form. TRUTH and KINDNESS and TOLERANCE are important. This man SB does not need to be defended, But TRUTH needs to be defended and upheld. And there has to be an opening to get to the truth.
I think there are a lot of people here fighting for truth ( their own perception of truth).

Yes, I had good experiences in the ashram too although I am not sure whether they are related to SSB's influence. But your experience may be only side of the coin. If a criminal is nice to me and if that is the only experience with him that I have with him then it means that he has some good traits too or that it was just calculating behaviour when he was nice to me.
It is unreasonable to rely only on your own experience with somebody.
My bad experience with SSB started when it began to dawn on me that the 'calumny' was the truth after all.
Do you know the 'cat guru' from the Panchatantra? SSB reminds me a bit of him.

>>I said perception vary from people to people.So when i try to establish something similar,why are you spouting venom upon me?After all can you deny these guys are not Brahmins.<<
There is no question of "perception" when it comes to recorded FACT and history.
All the facts I have reported and proved, is NOT perception, it does not depend on my interpretation or yours... these are FACTS, and established....and if Sai Baba says some nonsense completely in contradiction to what happened... then it is easy to see what is happening.
If Sai Baba says, for example ..." In 1949, when Washington was the President of the United States, he came to Swami with a request..."... if such a statement is made, then certainly there is no question of perception is involved here.... plain and simple, Sai Baba is lying, or a mad lunatic, or both, because history records that Washington was NOT the President of USA in 1949. Similarily, when we can PROVE that Sai Baba is deliberately lying , by giving concrete instances and facts, and we back it up with authentic references and recorded events ( according to Sai Baba's own words, like for example the Avatart day Oct 20, 1940, Subbama's death etc)... there is no question of any "perception" or "opinion"... just plain recorded facts, contradicting Sai Baba's version and showing SB to be a liar.
Try addressing the facts I have presented.

Sai Baba's entire scam was built upon so called "personal experiences" recorded in print, and published in books, which innocent followers took to be the absolute truth, and believed, and passed the word onto others.
If Prof Kasturi's authorised biography of Sai Baba where we can all clearly see when Subamma died, and prove Sai Baba's absurd contradictions, is not believable for you, why the heck should we believe your so called "personal experiences"... after all you are just an anonymous character on the internet , "claiming" your experiences disprove that Sai Baba has not molested anyone.
Answer to the point instead of rambling endlessly.
It can be PROVED that Subbamma was alive in 1950, and died in that year, by recorded fact.
It can be proved that Sai Baba said inn a public speech in 1999 ,that he was in Madras when Subbamma died, and that there were air raids, bombings and air raid sirens when he was there in Madras during Subbamma's death.
It can be proved that all these air raids, bombings , air raid sirens took place in 1942, 8 YEARS BEFORE Subbamma died, by acounts of the World war history in India.

WHAT !!! Kasturi and Narasimhan were Judases ??? "Hari Sampath a Judas", I can understand, because that's what Sai baba and all SB devotees call me anyway.. but poor Kasturi and Narasimhan ?? And again you link it to "caste"... what a dreadfully pathetic creature you are !!
Try answering ONE valid point I have raised.... and if you cannot , we all understand, but this is what I meant when I said "stooping to gutter level", referring to caste, etc.
Slimey character.

Re.. 2334 Reddy, Stop displaying your ignorance so blatantly. You can check the Internet for reliable sources on South Asian History. You have demonstrated your ability to believe and swallow any bullshit that someone whom you respect throws at you. That kind of makes one suspicious of your judgement and mental ability. (r*r)+(r*r)+ ... r terms ;-)

/m2434 V.V.Reddy: Srila Prabhupada never had sex with his disciples, because he knew the correct standard of the guru-disciple relationship. Do you even know the law of disciplic succession? The disciples are like children to the guru. In SB's case, he is therefore incestuous, which makes him even more sicker than previously thought. BTW, aren't you the one who was accused recently of having sex with SB? BTW again, we love cherish and respect Jesus Christ. :) At least he didn't have sex at all, nevermind with his disciples. Your pervert guru is a sicko. Wake up to the fact. Sanjay

Regarding SSB's statement that he had to wait to visit Subamma because of an air raid on Madras (now Chennai)
from SAPRA ARTICLE NEED TO DEVELOP NUCLEAR WEAPONS Published in the SAPRA INDIA Bulletin of October-November 1997
>>When a lone Japanese Bomber in World War II dropped a single bomb on Madras, the entire administration was shifted to Ooty.<<
Unfortunately no date is mentioned. However it perfectly confirms Hari's mother's story that there had been an evacuation but no personal injuries and very little material damage.
Let's now compare SSB's discourse on 18 October 1999 according to Brian Steel's website >>Later, one day I had to go to Chennai in a hurry as desired by some devotees. I had to stay there for ten days. It was the war period. Once in every hour there used to be air-raid siren. The streets would become empty with that warning. Swami could not return to Puttaparthi. <<
This sounds like an extreme exaggeration of the situation even when taking into account that SSB or his devotees may have been infected by the general panick. Of course unnecessary panick would be very non-omniscient but SSB may have known and had not been able to convince his devotees that their fear was unnecessary.

You may try at the Sai Towers also, and if necessary, let me know, I shall arrange a private interview for you with Sai Baba, and you can ask him directly what he said about Jesus Christ. If you are serious, let me know, and I shall speak to Mr Chakravarthi, who is the Ashram Secretary, very close to Sai Baba, and in daily personal contact with Sai Baba. You may even refer my name to him, of course he knows perfectly well that I am active on the Sai Baba expose, but he would oblige me.

Truelight007. I really must make myself clearer. I didn't for onbe moment infer that alternative medicine would handle his condition. I was commenting on the fact that different parts of the body handle other parts conditions. I said this because he was being derided at permitting genitals rto be handled fora digective problem.

>>>But still,i would appreciate if you could give me a link or tell me which book you are referring to,as i said earlier,you do have a habit of quoting out of context,and put words into peoples mouth,and twist statements just to make the other person look small.<<<
Why don't you ask ANY Sai Baba devotee about what Sai Baba has said about the post crucifion life of Jesus ?? Where did I quote anything out of context ? I had NEVER done so, whatever I say, I would always be able to back it up with authentic references. I never put words into your mouth, it was YOU who said that "Jesus died on the cross", and so I pointed out that is NOT what Sai Baba says, and recommended that you have more faith in your "god".
AND I have proved it too..
>>This is what i meant people from your clan do,nothing personal<<
You just cannot handle valid relevant points and debate, you run away hiding or resort to referring to "my caste and clan", and making sweeping comments. In any case my "caste" which is "brahmin" as you consistently point out, are a clan of "Truth speaking people, with knowledge of Brahman"... and not those who twist words or anything else.... whatever it is, my "caste" or "your caste" is irrelevant to this debate, try to address issues that are relevant to Sai Baba.

Sai Baba on Jesus Christ, from interview to Peggy Mason ( Published in several books)
************************************** The following quotes are taken from "Sathya Sai Baba-The Embodiment of Love"by Peggy Mason and Ron Laing. Swami also said to questions posed by Janet Bock and reported in her book"The Jesus Mystery" that Jesus attained Christ Conciousness at the age of twenty-five in India, when he was able to proclaim "I and my Father are one". After experiencing this identity with the Father, says Baba, "He returned to his own country. He returned to Palestine through Tibet, Afghanistan, Persia and areas which are now embraced as part of the Soviet Union,and by the time he arrived in his native land, he was in his twenty ninth year..." (pg68)
"The name Jesus itself is not the original name. He was named ISA. In theTibetan manuscript at the monastery where ISA spent some years the name is written as ISSA. The name ISA means the Lord of all living beings". I-SAor S-AI both means Ishvara, the Eternal Absolute..."(pg66)
*In a very sacred private interview with Baba, Peggy asked "Swami, there is something I've wanted to know for a long time. Did thephysical body of Jesus recover in the tomb? I mean it wasn't a materialised body of spirit...?"
Swami replied,"No-the physical body. No spirit- materialised body. The physical".
"Ah!" I said. "Then, did he journey to the East, continuing his mission to Kashmir?"
"Yes- and he also travelled to Calcutta, and Malaysia."
"Then is it the body of Jesus which was buried in the Rozabal Shrine at Srinagar in Kashmir?"
Swami nodded, and said,"Yes", so simply,with an upturned inflexion in hisvoice,as if waiting for the next question, his eyes never moving from mine, with such gentleness".* (n.b. Peggy Mason had written a whole chapter on the research that went into the above question)

Read "Swami's DIScurses" of several decades, !! Every Sai baba devotee knows this , what Sai Baba has said about Jesus not having died on the cross, traveling through Persia, Russia, Kashmir etc, and how he lived in the Homalayas . What a poor example of a Sai Baba devotee you are.... you should be ashamed. When I was a devotee, I could quote ( even now) every single bit of important information that Sai Baba ever gave anywhere, as I held them to be the Holy Gospel and the Vedic Word. You need to grow as a SB devotee, ( to become eligible for becoming an ex-devotee :-) LOL !

If you could bring me into personal contact with SSB then I would be very happy. I was never granted an interview. I have some questions for him and would like to have a word with him. Please advise.
Oh, now I remember about 2 years ago I met an Indian swami from a local Ramakrishna math who had a family member who was a magician. This family member went to SSB's ashram and told SSB to stop cheating people. Of course it didn't impress SSB.
So on second thoughts I am afraid that my question and talk with SSB will not impress him but I could give it a try.

>>>Can America boast of a woman President?Can America boast of a black american as President?<<<
This shows what knowledge( or lack of), VV Reddy has about the West. America will not elect a "Black President", just for the token purpose of proving a point. If and When an African American Presidential candidate is nominated by the Republican or Democratic parties in the Primaries, based on merit, the American people will have no problems with voting him on merit.
While there had been racism in the past , in USA, I can tell you for sure there is NO PLACE on earth that is tolerant and genuinely appreciative of various cultures like the US. The very fact that some of the top sporting Icons of the US like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods etc are all African American, with a huge fan following should tell you that USA really has no race prejudices as a nation. The great national following that Movie Stars like Denzel Washington, Samuel Jackson etc have, and the recent Oscar awards too testifies to this. ( tell me how many Black people have been knighted ??)
Hundreds of thousands of technology professionals from all parts of the world, particulary India, are welcomed for their skills and live as one in American society, some of the Top American enterprises of the last decade had been Indian peoples' drive, like Hotmail and Sun Microsystems.
This is impossible anywhere else in the world.
An American or British national cannot go to India and criticize anything Indian or its leaders . Immediately he/she will be either attacked, killed, or at least harrassed by the Govt , as was seen recently when the Govt of India hauled up Alex Perry of TIME magazine under false charges for criticizing Vajpayee.
On the other hand, I am not even a US citizen, but evebn after Sep 11, I was openly criticizing American foreign policy, and its bombing of Hiroshima etc. I am not attacked ! Others may disagree with me, in fact several Americans agreed with me, the only violent and "traitor" accusations I got were from Indians and other non Americans.
So, VV Reddy, travel out beyond your small well, live in other parts of the world before commenting . You neither know enough about India, nor do you know about the West.
Thanks,
Hari Sampath

I wish to make a very important point here , regarding the Sai Baba expose, the case etc. There has been much misunderstanding of the judicial verdict, what it means to the Sai Baba matter etc, and SB devotees had been loosely and terribly inaccurately making claims that the "Courts had thrown out the case as no merits" etc. Please refer to this official website of the Indian constitution dealing with this. http://alfa.nic.in/const/p03.htmlPart III deals with Fundamental rights and Article 32 deals with Fundamental rights protection by Supreme court of India. It was under Article 32 that I approached the Supreme court, the article says : "FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS Right to Constitutional Remedies 32. Remedies for enforcement of rights conferred by this Part.- (1) The right to move the Supreme Court by appropriate proceedings for the enforcement of the rights conferred by this Part is guaranteed. (2) The Supreme Court shall have power to issue directions or orders or writs, including writs in the nature of habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, quo warranto and certiorari, whichever may be appropriate, for the enforcement of any of (3) Without prejudice to the powers conferred on the Supreme Court by clauses (1) and (2), Parliament may by law empower any other court to exercise within the local limits of its jurisdiction all or any of the powers exercisable by the Supreme Court under clause (2). (4) The right guaranteed by this article shall not be suspended except as otherwise provided for by this Constition. " Now, the Supreme court told my attorneys to go to a High court under Article 226, and gave me a judgement to that effect. This has NO BEARING on the merits of the case. In fact this proves that the Supreme court thinks there is merit in this case, otherwise the court would have simply dismissed it as "without merit"... which they DID NOT do. Article 226 in Par VI says : "PART VI THE STATES Chapter V.-The High Courts in the States [226. Power of High Courts to issue certain writs.- (1) Notwithstanding anything in article 32.Every High Court shall have power, throughout the territories in relation to which it exercises jurisdiction, to issue to any person or authority, including in appropriate cases, any Government, within those territories directions, orders or writs, including writs in the nature of habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, quo warranto and certiorari, or any of them, for the enforcement of any of the rights conferred by Part III and for any other purpose " As can be CLEARLY SEEN, Article 226 serves EXACTLY the same purpose as Article 32, and for the same protection of fundamental rights done by Art 32, and even is mentioned as such, only thing is the High court does it, instead of the Supreme court. Now, since the rights protected ( and merits of the case) are exactly the same in both Supreme court and High court, and when the Supreme court has specifically asked me to approach High court under Article 226, what does it mean ? Obviously the Supreme court has no problems with the merits of the case ( which is same in High court). If the Supreme court saw any flaw in the case itself, how will they ever ask me to go to the High court under Article 226 ( which deals with the same rights and same purpose). The Supreme court also knows that the High court ( which is lower in hierarchy) is bound by the Supreme court's verdict, so how will the SC give such an official recommendation and verdict to go to the HC if the merits were not there ?? The point is, I haven't gone to the High court yet, I can do so anytime, and I am gathering even more solid evidence to make absolutely sure SB doesn't get away. Thank you, Hari Sampath

Dear Mr Thomas, I found your comments somewhat strange and contradictory I am at a total lose to understand what you are trying to say.
From your previous post you make reference about the purpose of this board and what we should be discussing yet Mr VV is a completely pro and floods this discussion with his self-opinionated belief, which kills, of any waves of serious intellectual discussions.
So instead of deleting needless posts why dont you take the right action on addressing your point to Mr VV.
As evidently from VV posts you will note he has not listened to your views and is ramberling on like a lunatic about his own so called experience and is desperately trying to defend his self proclaimed God man.
So if you need to take any action or need to explain the purpose of this discussion forum please address VV instead of telling us!
And if the rascal will not listen kick him out or shut up and let him flood this board with his tiresome crap!

Dear V.V. No one wants to mess with you - as you put it. It is just unusal to hear your tone. You sound, if I may say so, very upset.
But I want you to know we in the West are not upset with such allegations - all sorts of allegations are part of life in the world. We get use to hearing all sorts of threats and stuff, but we don't TAKE them seriously. We simply make up our own minds in our own way.
You must realise V.V. this is a global club - and the countries outside of India are very much more laid-back in attitude.
No offence meant.
I am a follower of Sai - I don't agree with Hari, but I think everyone has a right to their opinions.

>>Hari, many thanks for answering my question about the air raid that SSB spoke about. I still wonder a bit how the Japanese managed to do that.<<
The Allied forces had a Naval base( or a transit base, I am not sure) in the coastal city of Chennai , and the Japanese had some aircraft carrier presence in the Bay of Bengal,Indian Ocean ( they had also advanced to Burma, and to Kohima, in Northeast India). I am inclined to think this was in 1942( my Mom too thinks so). I dug up some references from Madras city journals and here is what I found.
>>>It was early 1942. World War II was on. Japanese joined the Axix. They bombed Kalaikonda near Kharaghpur about 100 Kilo meters from Jamshedpur. Employees of the factories in Jamshedpur got panicky and were sending their families home. I sent my wife and daughter to Madras where my father-in- was. He was employed in the Accountant General's Office and was living with his family in Chetpat. Afew months later Japan bombed Madras harbour. I was worried about the safety of my wife and daughter and was afraid that we may lose contact if bombing intensified and families scatter.<<
>>>During World War II, when Madras was bombed and Royapuram was classified as a danger zone and people evacuated the city, he as a young Priest at that time <<<
>>The Japanese overran Burma, but were stopped in their tracks at Imphal and Kohima. A few stray bombs were dropped on Visakhapatnam and Madras when a Japanese carrier force made a foray into the Bay of Bengal, but that was the nearest India's people saw of the war. << ( Admiral Nadkarni)
So, it can be conclusively proved that Chennai was bombed, and it was probably in early 1942.
Thanks,
Hari Sampath

Quoting Andries"I still wonder a bit how the Japanese managed to do that."those monkeys Japanese bombed and killed Americans in Pearl Harbour,what was Chennai for them?Only when Americans bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki,did the Japanese realise the power of United States Of America,which will never take things lying down for the bombing of Pearl Harbour.More recently the power of Americans to find the tyrant OBL in Afghanistan,for the devastation of American property and lives,is again a glowing tribute that LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL,is well and alive.But i still maintain,Americans ought not to have arm twisted India to defend itself against terroist Pakis.

I am not part of the ashram staff,but let me put it this way,i am involved in a major way.Please dont ask me any further,at least for now.Quoting truelight"we are in the West where people have freedom of speech - and we like it that way."what do you mean by that?Do you for one moment think we in the East do not have freedom of speech?Hari Sampath is a classic example.He has been given full freedom of speech,his views were respected,the Supreme Court has adviced to him leave their jurisdiction as they did not find the Case strong enough for them to continue,so,how can you say such things about our Eastern ways of life.I think you are just messing with me,please dont play with my emotions.I am not one bit worried about anything.I could not have asked a better life for me.
In fact giving respect to Hari Sampath,Anthony Thomas has deleted my message pertaining my reference to Caste.In Bugwath Gita,Krishna talks extensively about the nature of human beings,and broadly termed them as Brahmanas,Kshatriyas,Vysyas,and Sudras.The Brahmanas nature is of intellectual,priestly,and mostly sacrificing human weaknesses for the welfare of other,human natures as mentioned above.
How in the world that i meant to use'gutter language and gutter mentality'is truly beyond me?And why would i want to discredit him?After all he is discrediting himself,he needs no one,ROFL.

To Truelight:
The tone of VV Reddy's message is crystal clear , in that he is certainly hinting at harm, no doubts. There is NO WAY the Govt of India can impound the passport of a citizen, unless someone has been convicted by a court of a first degree crime committed in India ( hardly the case with me). And also if impounding of the passport was what VV Reddy "meant", where is the question of "America protecting me" as America has nothing to do with decisions on my Indian passport !!. Meanwhile, can the passport of any Indian be impounded when there is no crime committed and just because " many Indians are offended" ?? What a joke. And VV Reddy posted these threats in two different messages spread a couple of days apart, and even after I specifically told him I don't care a damn about his "threats to get me killed", he went on to post "take the threats seriously", without mentioning his "passport story". It is only when Anthony warned him, he has come up with this "explanation".
By the way , sending a "supari" means as, VV Reddy posted, sending an agent of death ( in Indian terms ) :-)

This message V.V. Reddy is rather medieval - a little, what should I say - '16th century' - here in the West, we are not like that. The Western world has to be more 'tolerant' than that! ."all i said was"We know all about you,your visit to India will be your last,i gurantee you that"what i meant was,his passport will be impounded.Meaning he can stay only in India.At no point of time,have i threatened to get him killed. V.V. :) - if you are Sai's devotee you should not even think of harming anyone. (I hope you will not say these things again.) :) His imagination has got the better of him.Frankly,you do not know this breed,of people.I may sound callous,but i assure you,i know my people. (Breed?) He is not a dog V.V...please - None of us are dogs, only people with different points of view. This is allowed in the West - if one is educated. (Are you sure you do not work for the Ashram V.V,?) Make no mistakes about that.Further i said"As for threatening,please take it serious,you have offended people in India. (Indians should not be offended. (Only Sai Baba devotees there may be offended.) Right???? You will be paid back for the slur you have brought to this country. (V.V. you do not live in a dictatorship culture...right - Indians are very tolerant people and nice too. :)) Dont think America will protect you"how can one know the tone or tenor and come to conclusion that i have sent out a 'Supari' for him? American has not the slightest Interest in Sai Baba - most western people are of the Christain faith. We love Jesus -(some of the time.) :>>>>> In my opinion,if you could delete Hari Sampath message /m2234 you would be doing me a very huge favour.In fact ,he is practically accused me of getting him killed,which is not true.I dont hire people to kill.I hire people for my business and productive life."

>>Have there ever been air attackson Chennai/Madras. If so in Nov. 1945? Every hour?<<
Yes, there was an air raid in Chennai ( Madras then), but I am not too sure about the Nov 1945. I checked with my Mother, and she says the city was evacuated twice between 1942 and 1944, and after the second evacuation, there was an air raid, but with very limited damage to property , with no human loss or injuries.

V.V. I don't think Sai will mind your posting here. He doesn't care about such things. I have posted on and off for ages and ages - but he never seems at all worried about it.
Don't worry about H.S. 'live and let live' - (I assure you Sai is not worried about such matters --- and neither should you be.) :)
People all have their own view of Sai - and if you or others are threatening towards the anti-side, then you will be seen as a cult.
Do you want to be seen in that light?
Most devotees, and/or followers are not worried. :)
Why are you so worried.
Is it your ego - or are you part of the ashram staff.
You see, V.V. we are in the West where people have freedom of speech - and we like it that way.
People in the West make up their own minds based on their own opinions, and that is as it should be.

Dear Andries,
India was part of the British Empire and as such - subject to the laws and conditions of the mother country. Indian soldiers etc. were fighting in the war along side the British/Australians,/N.Z./others - all participated in safe guarding the territories. (One way or another.) I think you forget that India was very much part of Britain at the time of the second world war as was Ceylon. (Now Sri Lanka.) I was not born at that time, and I know you too, are very young - to young to understand the Empire. :)

>Oh dear. Blown Out ...are you talking only of the so->called pro > Sai people here? LOL. Pro-sai forces are >spamming and undermining??? Get serious. You poor >thing ..Are they interupting and sabotaging your hard efforts? LOL.
My few efforts (all too few) in the Expose at large are an attempt to bring to light the allegations against Sai Baba of various sorts, so that they are not covered up. Re-read, if you will, my post of a last Friday, and you will note that I expressed sadness at the discovery that there are quite a few BOTH pro AND anti-Sai people who frequent QT who seem to be in considerable conflict with each other.
Naturally, it seemed to me, former devotees would not inject antagonism into a Board which was, as I had understood it, to be a place where former devotees, mostly, could assist each other to come to terms with their serious loss of faith in one who had meant, for many of us, years spent in great love and devotion. It was also good to see that Anthony permitted on QT inputs from Sai devotees. Alas, as I read through more recent contributions, it strikes me that there are repeated cases where both pro Sai and former devotees have shown much acrimony, antagonism, insult, put-downs, etc. Even slander by hearsay, and no substantiation, has entered the fray. Again, sad indeed.
Yes, I refer to the possibility that pro Sai people are coming on to QT with an agenda to confuse and disrupt. For all I know there may be former devotees who are doing the same at some pro Sai site. Let us dearly trust that it is not so. If it is the case, may it be that any underhand tactics, or indeed anything which does not amount to tolerant and humane discussion, not even to mention loving discussion, will be exposed for what it is. > > This is not a debate? Is this a board dedicated to one >side only?
Let there be sides, but never the side of nastiness to each other. Respectfulness towards those, even from whom we may >greatly differ, surely suggests that sadhana is progressing, or even that old-fashioned politeness is still alive and well. >Just a spinkling of sincere people whose >experiences .and >perceptions happen to differ, perhaps , from yours.
May it be that sincerity can extend to refraining from harsh and abusive language among the posters, no matter from which side it comes. > > I still see the decency in the current devotees, but I have >seen little of it in the anti-sai side.
Your observation may accord well with the fact that most former devotees of whom I am aware in networking do not post ANYWHERE, much less on QT.
BTW, if you have a look at the names of so many signatories on the JuST Petition, you will find the names of so many former devotees who held, for many years, postions of consderable responsibility in the Sai Organization, and who were held in very wide esteem, and are so still in their wider communities, trades and professions.
> They throw rotten tomatoes at the current pro-devotees >and call names simply for trying to engage them in >a "higher-minded " conversation.
By our fruits (not our rotten fruit (or tomatoe=berry) throwing we shall be known, whichever 'side' we are on. > If you can't recognize the truth of our words and the >sincerity of our postings, then you lack sincerity >yourself and I am not buying into your well written >but "empty" post.
I shall need to introspect - for no doubt I shall find emptiness in myself (certainly, I have discovered it in the past). > > I am neutral, neither pro sai or against him, so I think >I can see it a little less biased than you .
Perhaps it will be the 'neutrals/ who can show us the way. May we all become much blesst.

/m2285 Air raids in Madras according to SSB Truelight wrote: >>There were air-raids there - India was part of England at the time and England was at war with Germany.<< Did you ask some of the older inhabitants of Madras? Can somebody do that? They would surely remember the bombing of Madras. Not an event a person would easily forget. It could only have done from one of the sparse Japanese air craft carriers because the occupied territories of the Japanese were too far away. The only reference to fighting between the English and the Japanese in British India that I could find was in the North Eastern part near Burma. Not in the South East (Madras).

Sai did indeed return and give vibuthi to the woman. (I remember reading about it some time ago.)
The problem with you people is that you concentrate so hard on the externals (bits and bobs) that you lose the real meaning of Sai - true experiences are internal and unique to each and every one. Only by your owner personal experiences with you understand the 'ring of truth.' (Not by others.)
But you cannot understand that.
V.V.Reddy has told you his experiences, revealed in detail his cure but you still doubt him. Why? Because you want to doubt - you want to find fault.
That is your problem - not Sai's problem.
The same goes for his birthday date. It was explained to you many times by different writers that in India you can have two birth certificates, depending on the year and the schooling provided etc. etc. But you failed to understand that too.
The problem is you tend to think of India being like the West but it is not. It is entirely different and has an entirely different viewpoint on the world.
Their culture is entirely different from ours - and Sai is a product of his culture. (He is more than that, he is highlighting much that is wrong with it - where by those within the Sai Movement can see it for themselves.)
And yes, there are many gurus in India, and instead of being one in the spirit....(smile) they are very jealous of one another. They compete for devotees and power.
What V.V.Reddy said about a certain frequent poster here, having a guru, he was probably right.

from http://bdsteel.tripod.com/More/stories1.htm (Brian Steel's page) Air Raids on Madras/Chennai in November 1945 According to SSB >>5. Eventually SB publicly gave his own dramatic version of the story in his Discourse on 18 October 1999. The reader will note one odd admission of 'non-omniscience' and some apparent confusion and invention about wartime (LIMF tells us Subbamma died on 25 November 1945) but still the main emphasis is on the miraculous momentary resurrection, in this case just before Subbamma's cremation. [snip] "Later, one day I had to go to Chennai in a hurry as desired by some devotees. I had to stay there for ten days. It was the war period. Once in every hour there used to be air-raid siren. The streets would become empty with that warning. Swami could not return to Puttaparthi. Meanwhile, Subbamma fell seriously ill. She was taken to Bukkapatnam. There she died. Her relatives started making sarcastic remarks: "Sai Baba gave word to her that He would pour water into her mouth at her last moments. Did He come? Where has He gone?"<< I have to admit that I don't know much about the history of British India but to me air raids in Nov. 1945 on Chennai/Madras is in contradiction with all my limited knowledge. First of all it could not have been the Japanese who surrendered on 2 Sept. But even if LIMF made a mistake in the Nov. month then I would be very surprised if the Japanese had any aircraft carriers in the Indian ocean to attack Chennai/Madras. I thought they needed all their marine resources in the atlantic ocean to stop the American invasion. Have there ever been air attackson Chennai/Madras. If so in Nov. 1945? Every hour?

There is a big difference between a deep and permanent cure and removal of a karmic illness and finding relief through natural healing methods. I know that. What these healers do is permanently remove the root of the illness, so that it is gone forever. Only a true healer can do this, that is, a man with God powers. It can only be done when the time is right for such action, cannot be done prematurly. This is the reason some are healed and some are not. Sai removes the spiritual causes of the disease if and when it is safe for it to be healed.
My understanding is that the objects that SB materializes and gives to people, no matter what they are made of, are talismans for protection. What more valuable an object can you get? So what if it's not gold or real emeralds.
I have personally checked out two of these rings (emerald-like stones in gold-like settings) at close range. I've held them in my hands and placed them on my fingers. They were very sturdy and well made. They were not cheap trinkets, but not ordinary jewelry from a jeweler either.I could tell that the "gold" was not ordinary gold as we know it. It was another substance, but I don't know what. The emerald like stones were enormous and beautiful.
My friend owns a lingham given to her by Baba and a locket of silver, with Baba's picture in the locket. (she did not put it there, it came from him that way.) The silver locket was very well made also. When he gave it to her, he told her it was for protection. She tends to be accident prone and he knew it.

Wait a minute you can't say that v.v.'s cure was just one of those things. it was an important cure for him. The cure was carried out by swami and he is happy, and i gthink it is terrible to doubt this youhng man's reasoning and happiness about his cure. I think for you anthony to suggest he could have been cured by alternative medcine is reduntant here.
I have found most alternative medicine to be slow and they do not work so well as usual type of medicine.
My cure was from a backache - a long standing problem that was terrible for me. then one night i put a photo graph of sai under my pillow without even thinking of a cure -next morning the terrible cronic backache was gone and it never came back.
the strange thing about the cure was the photo used is the one with sai holding the golden healing lingum. I had little interest in that particular photograph of Sai, in fact a friend had sent the photo to me saying it was used by others for healing purposes but i had ignored her until that night.
Strange really. As it worked for me - even with little faith. I never ever got that backache back again.
I can't type the whole story out because i am using a lap top and i can't type with the keyboard provided.
As for the rings - of course they are fake - mostly. No really sincere guru would give out valuable rings and things - when he is teaching lessons on giving up worldly objects and desires.
The rings are a send-up and I think it is funny. Fancy people going to visit him, wanting rings and stuff - who phoney of them.

But you have to make the effort to try and understand actions in proper perspective.
My answer:
Ok then, I do, and you have already described it, you have positive experiences with Baba, this is ok and genuine, in your experience, I must respect this, yes I really do, Baba was treating you manually, but these manipulations were genuine to you, they had nothing to do with sex or whatever, so this was what you experienced. Ok. Let us say that Baba is not a sex-monster, this is ok too, I do believe you, but what does the story from Hans de Kraker in between? Hans is genuine too, that's for sure, I know Hans personally (yes, I really do!) it is impossible for him to lie on this matter, this was what really happened then, so I will accept your statement, but I think you should accept the statement from Hans de Kraker too, so what do we have here? Let me conclude that Baba cures a lot of people, ok, but many people are not cured too, many people are treated doctorwise, like you, and in numerous cases... Baba... you have to admit that... Baba can't take control of himself, he is going too far then, for example when a boy is very good-looking, like Hans is, or when there is a suitable occasion that gives reason to such abusive manipulations... V.V. Reddy, I know personally some (2)pedophiles too, these men are very kind, they should not even think a minute to harm a child, they just want to please them, but so now and then, they tell me, fondling is going a little further than that, but not too far, because these man are very capable of what their and the situation of the child is. So I think, this is happening the way Baba could be treating many boys, it is just..., that in some cases..., as a sheer contrast to the 2 people I mentioned, Baba can't..., like I said before, in some cases Baba cannot take control of himself... that's all.
Well, now I am going into your position, so, now I am you, for a moment I am V.V. Reddy, and like you, I only have had ok experiences, but then I read wrong messages about the Man who cured me for life, do you know what I should do? I would love Baba more than ever, and I would regret that Baba might be doing some bad things, and I would pray for him that, if this was so, because I can hardly believe it, that he would stop, and... I would leave this board, and never return here again, still loving Baba, because of what he did to me, I would be glad to leave the discussion, the hate for Hari Sampath, but ofcourse I would be sad too, knowing that my master might or seems to be abusing boys.
V.V. Reddy, may I serve you too be helpful? Give your love to Hari, please give love to us, with whom you disagree, but above all, love Baba, because of what has been said about him, and because about what he is, love and hate, positive and negative, alltogether: humanlike, because... that is the only way for you to survive, and once you are capable to this attitude, you may kindly leave this board, and never return again... V.V. Reddy, I (and most of us) love you too...

Beth re 2247 Ever tried to put up anything against 'sb' on a pro 'sb' board? I think you will find there is a single agenda of people determined that nothing is said against their guru.
*** VVReddy Re 2265 You don't understand his method of 'clutching'!
Re 2270 You can't be so naive as to think that everything everyone says (whether true or not) has a pure intention? 'sb' says tons of things that are wise and truthful. How else do you think he would get people following him to the degree that they hand their life, body and soul over to him? I believe it says somewhere in the bible 'Lucifer (devil) would appear to be a shining white angel of light. In other words, you will be fooled if you think he would appear as some dark evil creature.' The message said in 2271 is a valid point.
I repeat, that I am glad that you were helped with your illness. We know many treatments use other body parts to heal a different affected area. Reflexology done on the feet, for example, can handle conditions throughout the body such as digestive problems or headaches.
I have deleted message 2238 referring to cast - at Hari's request. It is a valid complaint. Please refrain from attacking on a personal level.
It is true that long posts are rarely read by most people. You may like to stick to the shorter type.
***
Truelight Bit of an exagerated statement perhaps! I believe I have deleted probably less than 10 posts since the board reopened. It is also, thankfully, a good many years since I was mad with anyone. If you have things to add that benefit the purpose of this board, you are welcome to do so.
*** If everyone would please refrain from attacking on a personal level, we may get a lot further.

vvr, since youre quoting from movies for examples i suggest you rent out fright night if you like horror or devils advocate if you just want to know how the devil (if he is smart) would try beating christ. Even if you dont see the point they are great movies anyway! As far as nostradamus is concerned, your interpretation is evidently from the movie " the man who saw tommorow". Which is an interpretation of the book by movie maker's perspective. The book with the actual verses of nostradamus, if read, is too confusing and one cannot convincingly decipher the purport of his words completely. He writes in a very crytic and archaic form. There is room for interpretations whichever way the reader wishes.
> middle eastern country.But according to Swami,he will be from > Central Asia,Iran,Pakistan region. Quite a common speculation.
> I somehow feel its Afghanistan that Swami was telling us. > Osama Bin Laden for all you know could > be the third anti-christ. Afghanistan is pretty much under pseudo-US-colonization now. Stability in some form might be returning. Osama is 'probably' running like a hunted rabbit. Nice anti christ he makes.
> all stop this nonsense witch hunting about Swami. I agree.. I am not one who would say SB is anti-christ and give him such importance. Hes just a slithery old son of a bitch who must die a long and painful death. Christ.. anti Christ.. let the romantics dvelwe upon such entertaining and morale-boosting exagerations of the good and the evil. In the real world there exists only human and it is within the human capacity to be either godlike or inhumane. ;-)

Yes! ssb should dis-robe and give darshan in the nude for every one to see what he is doing instead of sex orgies in his little private room for all the world to see.
Alright! you say it's a blessing and a healing still, and nothing would change your mind.- you must be a real FOOL v v ready.
This may sound crude but not as crude as bonking off 6 and 7 year old boys going to his schools.
This ssb sounds like a donky or should I say a real jack-ass. His arse would be seated on a seat of an International Court of Law to be investigated - so no misunderstandings can accur.

"Vidana thu anena ithi Vedah", "That which reveals and makes clear all knowledge is Veda". The word 'Veda' originated from the root 'Vid', meaning 'to know'.No one has understood correctly the beginning of the Veda or its end. So, it is hailed as Anaadi (Beginningless) and Sanathana (Eternal). Since the first and the last of the Veda are not known, it is Nitya, Everlasting. The intelligence of humans is tainted but since the Veda has no trace of taint, it is concluded that it cannot be a human product. So the Veda is also characterised as A-pourusheya (Non-personal).
EXTRACTED FROM SWAMIS DISCOURSE,AND SUCH A BEING WHO TALKS LIKE THIS IS "ANTI-CHRIST"???????Please.........

Quoting Swami from his discourse on May 25th 2002,"The Buddha too made similar effort to find the source of happiness. He searched for God everywhere, and at last found that God was within him. He realized that he himself was an embodiment of Ananda (Bliss)."so the bottom line is,we all can find our god within ourselves,which is nothing but but the ageless eternal truth of the Vedas.
So,how can anybody in their right senses term Swami as anti-christ?The symbol CROSS sign of Jesus Christ adorn the emblem of Swamis organisation along with the symbols of the Hindus-OM;Moon and Star of Islam;The eternal fire of Zorosters;The Wheel of Buddhisim of the Buddhists;?Please use your god given talent of common sense.Can a evil person use all these sarva dharma symbols,and resort to such evil depths as some of you are alleging?

Beth, Honey (yep, I'm back) you said you're not a devotee and in another post you said sb could never get your soul. Do you know why? It seems obvious to me from your posts that he already has your soul, good and tight.
I'm very sad to see this, but it's the only conclusion that makes sense after reading your rambling, often confused and very pro-sai posts. Honey, you sound exactly like a typical devotee, even if you don't know it.
I don't think it's possible to have one foot in the sb bath water and one foot out. It's all or nothing. Since you're not out Beth, you must be in. I wish I could help you, but it would mean throwing out so many of your cherished beliefs. And you're so secure in where you're coming from.

Its so negatively biased,based on unsubstantiated slander,i cannot believe that people had to have such nonsensical reasons to leave Swami?

Truelight wrote in /m2262: >>I don't know why people want rings and things - that is wrong from my point of view. << At least in one case I know that SSB gave a ring to someone who didn't want it. SSB told him that the ring was real but it turned out to be fake when tested in the jewellery. I really think that the trinkets and rings are symbolic for the whole SSB affair as SSB admitted himself in the 1976 Blitz interview. People were looking for truth and God and found somebody who said he was God and spoke the truth. It looked all so authentic. Like the rings it was all fake. SSB raped all his devotees spiritually and in some cases literally. Of course devotees bear some responsibility for being so gullible and swallowing the bait but the main culprits are SSB and his accomplices. Kind regards, Andries

V.V.Reddy, Well, there you are. :>>>>>>>>>
I don't read all the posts - some of them are too rehashed to be of interest to me now.
I only read those posts that I feel will be interesting to my finding out the truth.
To tell you the truth V.V., I have had my own personal experiences of Sai and hold them dear. They have not always been nice or easy lessons at all, some have been tough indeed.
I have also had a healing from him - some years ago. I can't tell it here because Anthony would be mad at me and probably delete my post. But I difinitely had a healing. Now I need another healing (I have been very sick, recently.)But I'm not sure I'll get another.
How come your ring was a fake V.V.?
You said it had tacky diamonds that came loose and then fell out etc. etc.
Do you believe all the rings are false or fake or cheap.
My thoughts about the rings (I never had one) is they are mostly fakes. I feel Sai gives out fake rings to people to build up their egos, knowing full well the rings will one day be valued and be found to be fakes. (hee hee.)
I don't know why people want rings and things - that is wrong from my point of view.
Have I seen God? Know God? ----no, I'm afraid I don't.
I feel God is a verb not a noun - it is energy more than a person. I don't think humankind can know energy. It is just there.
But I do believe in trying to make the best of what I have.
I feel we all have a life after death and that we go to different planes of existance - and when we die, we go to the highest plane according to how we lived life here on earth.
Therefore, it is very important to learn self-awareness and give due attention to the lessons that come our way in life.

Oh V.V. :) Now I see what you mean. Yes, I've heard of the Apollo hospital system - even here. So yes, I do believe you now.
When Sai told you to 'loosen up' - maybe he was referring to you being tense all the time. (If you are tense you will be sick or feel sick or retch.)
That is common.
I think you must have been an up-tight person and perhaps it affected your abilities to 'do' whatever you wanted to do.
I hope you understand me. :)

Sai Baba brings to the surface a lotta... stuff V.V., not only the sexual thing but other stuff. Much of it unpleasant.
But it takes years and years for people to understand this point and maybe for some people they don't want to understand it.
I think if I were a young man going through that sort of experience, (as you describe) I would be very hurt and very angry - even if I was mature enough to understand it to be a 'lesson from the teacher.'
Only time will tell if the lessons were effective.
It would be thoughtful of Sai devotees to have compassion for the men and youths who have had this sort of experience. (And understand their pain.)
That would make them better people.
To sneer or to make fun of others' experiences is ignorant on both sides. :(

If I remember, he couldn't eat or hold down food and he was losing weight rapidly and his parents were worried. Is this at all correct Mr. Reddy? I 'm sorry if I got the story wrong. Anyway, the problem was cured. My understanding is that vibhuti was rubbed on to the genital area and it was a one-time experience.

Rape is extremely difficult thing to do unless and untill the other person is passive.NOBODY can force themselves on the anal tract and rape them.Its absolutely impossible for anyone to show their bums and get sodomised unless they want to get sodomised.To get reapeatedly sodomised and not complain just baffles me.I am willing to hear other voices of dissent,but its hard for me to believe that Swami would indulge with sexual intent of seeking pleasure.Its impossible in my dictionary.I still maintain the methods deployed by Swami was for some illness or ailments.I am a living testimony for exactly the same methods he used for me.I would go to the extent of saying,maybe its some patented technological service,that only Swami knows,for curing and healing people.It would be interesting know as to how these people are leading their lives now.
If the methodology adopted by Swami was misunderstood by many,and now they claim to alleged victims of rape,i have nothing to tell them,except seek counseling,or better still confront Swami and seek an explanation from him directly.Thats the right thing to do.
Again i repeat myself,its absolutely impossible to be raped in the interview room.The venue,the atmosphere,above all,a 77 year old Swami jumping on the boys sodomising,ROFL.Why would an avatar want to sodomise boys,kiss them or do totally alien things in our culture?There is indeed a deep rooted conspiracy to discredit our nations teachers and Hindu Teachings in my opinion.

I cannot look at the post where you describe your healing as I do not know where it is. You post quite a few long posts .V.V. (I never read long posts.) I don't have time and using the internet in my country is expensive. So I cannot spend time looking backward at your posts.
Has anyone else read what V.V. Reddy was actually cured of - by having his privates rubbed? :)
V.V. Reddy who don't you post the need for your cure again. Not the experience of the cure, (not the sexual thing) but what actually you, youself were cured of.
Did you have problems with women, or with men, or with sex, or with anyone at all?
It would answer a lot if you replied.

To Anthony:
I request that VV Reddy's post 2238 also be deleted , as it has an absolutely unnecessary reference to "caste".
>>Brahmins are noted for their ways of thinking and actions,so i should not be surprised,but its my duty to warn people in the west<<
This kind of posting referring to caste, community, race etc, is completely unacceptable, and even worse than slandering. It demonstrates the mentality of the poster, and the low mindedness and the gutter level means they resort to in order to "defend Sai Baba", and to "discredit " those exposing him.

Anthony, what are you talking about? Have you bothered to read my posts at all for the last year? You should know me by now. I am an ex-devotee. I have my doubts and I've posted those doubts a hundred times on this borad. And I also stick up for the common sense posts and arguments from the other side as well, because I have also had some profiund expereinces with Sai Baba. and what I know of Sai Baba, does not jive with the allegations.
And, Yes, this is a debate...
And for god sakes don't patronize me. I have read every single last detail and bit and piece written by every single so-called victim and this is the ump-teenth time I've said that.

To VV Reddy :
Let me only address valid questions :
>>People like Professor Narasimhamurthy,Abraham Kovoor,Premanand to name a few rationalist(at least thats what they call themselves)have been in vain trying to discredit Swami for years now.Swami has been sued,all the time courts have rejected,the charges against SWAMI<<
Yes, I agree. This is a fact. But that does not mean this will continue to happen. When I went to the Supreme court, what happened was distinctly different. There are 2 stages to the judicial process in the Supreme court.
Stage 1: Verify if the complaint ( petition) is supported by legal and true documentation, and verify if the complaint is not a frivolous or malicious charge, but a serious enough one. ONLY if this is done, will the petition be handed ovet to 2 judges for reading, upon which the judges decide whether to hear it at all. Only 40 % of ALL petitions in the Supreme court are even given a hearing.
Stage 2 : After reading the petition, if BOTH judges feel that there is a serious complaint, with attested documents which have been factually verified, THEN the judges conduct a preliminary hearing into the case. Thereupon the Supreme court gives a verdict. Sometimes the Supreme court even recommends action to be taken by the petitioner if there is a strong enough case, but if the Supreme court itself doesn't want to take it up in the requested legal sections. Most of the time after getting to this stage, only the very strongest petitions survive, otherwise the Supreme court will "dismiss" it as a complaint without basis after going into the merits of the complaint.
In my petition against Sai Baba, it came through both stages, 1 and 2. The Supreme court even conducted a hearing after reading the petition, and said they wanted to "dismiss" the petition under the particular legal section I had applied( Article 32). But the Supreme court said " the same effect you request can be easily achieved by another legal section , Article 226, by going to a State High court. Both articles are meant for the protection of fundamental rights, and when it can be achieved at the High court, the Supreme court need not entertain it now". Also the judges remarked "Although going to the High court is time consuming, there is no immediate urgency to this case, as these things in the petition have been going on for years, and how will a few more months jeopardize the case"
The Judgement was "Petitioner may approach appropriate forum"
Now, it is easy to see, that after coming through 2 stages, and even getting a recommendation from the Supreme court in a written judgement, the merits of the case HAVE BEEN established,and it is only a question of which legal section, and which court. Otherwise, the Supreme court ( which is the highest court in India) had every power to throw out the case on merit, which they had done in the past with Abraham Kovoor , Premanand and others. The Supreme court DID NOT do so in this case.

2226 VV Reddy has been deleted. Please do not make threats against Hari or anyone else.
Hari The retaliation attack on you from VV Reddy was in response and contained in the same email as his defense. It is not possible to delete only part of a message. Sorry.
Beth. You may believe you are neutral, but that certainly doesn't appear to be the case. By the way, this board is actually not really a debating board. It is board set up for those who have doubts to get assistance to decide one way or the other. This is not a board for devotees who have no need of what is discussed here, as they are not looking at this as a possiibility.
The purpose of this board.
This board is for legitimate discussion between people who have left the clutches of 'sb' and those who have genuine doubts about him and wish to examine the information regarding the many allegations of sb's sexual molesting of young boys. You are encouraged to read the extensive material to be found on the many 'sb expose' websites. It is only through reading all the reports with an open mind and a willingness to discover the truth, that you can truly decide whether you follow God or an imposter.
This message board is not for pro 'sb' devotees who are not yet open to looking at these possibilities. There are lots of pro 'sb' boards, discussions and meetings for his devotees.
Should you ever have doubts about him or need helpful advice in how others have handled 'leaving', please return for any assistance we may be able to give you.
If you never have doubts about him, then may God (the real God)bless you and hold you in his care - whenever you choose to allow it. We all wish you well.
All posts and attacks that do not contribute to the goal of this board willbe deleted by the board adminstrator.

People like Professor Narasimhamurthy,Abraham Kovoor,Premanand to name a few rationalist(at least thats what they call themselves)have been in vain trying to discredit Swami for years now.Swami has been sued,all the time courts have rejected,the charges against SWAMI.You all are endowed with god given talent of common sense.Is it possible that all politicians,all judges,all lawyers are so corrupt,that Swami has bought them all?Please ponder and think carefully.
There have been many in India who have argued that Swami must subject himself to sceintific tests,for them to asses whether Swami is what he claims to be.So if Swami allows himself and proves to sceintific community,thru their tests,that he is indeed endowed with such awesome powers,people should believe.
In other words,the ability to certify lies in the hands of sceintists,and then ONLY confer the title of AVATAR,ROFL.While its a good idea to weed out the not so genuine ones,but then Swami has weathered all such arguments,and those who have faith,STILL,stick with him.
At this point,may i ask,each and every individual here,if they are god believers,how at all,they have had their faiths?Is it because,no one(I am assuming)has seen GOD or spoken to GOD or read his actual writings?If they have seen GOD,spoken to GOD,read GODS writings,please tell me about it.

You know V.V. (by the way if you are writing in India, it must be late there.)
Anyway, some years ago, I saw an aura behind Sai's head, it was not on the top of his head but to the back and very milky white in colour. It looked as if it was a living, moving aura that was not actually attached to Sai in anyway. It moved with him.
I only saw it for a minute of so - but I will never forget it. (It was brilliant white but milky in substance).
A bit like a large and powerful football light in a stadium.
Now I wonder who is going to tell me I am nuts, daft, fooled, looney, or mad.
Yet, I KNOW I saw it - it was not my imagination. :)

To Anthony :
This is what VV Reddy posts about me and you kept quiet about.
>>Obviously since you were caught with your pants down while you were supposed to be on duty to watch over the footwear of the devotees,its probably rankling in your mind.We know all about you,your visit to India will be your last,i gurantee you that.<<
>>As for threatening,please take it serious,you have offended people in India.You will be paid back for the slur you have brought to this country.Dont think America will protect you.<<
This is your "spiritual higher minded SB devotee, trying to raise the level of debate here".
And wasn't it mentioned on these boards that personal attacks on members are not allowed, nor are defences allowed ? In keeping with that I have not defended VV Reddy's slanderous accusations against me, but those posts were still kept on. Even now, I am responding only to his threats to get me killed, which as everyone can see , exposes him for what he really is.

Hari Sampath,
Words cannot reveal feelings or sentiment. You were not there, I was not there, Anthony was not there, Beth was not there -(maybe v.v.ready was not there - maybe he is telling a friend's version. Who knows?)
How such an act is interpreted will always be up the person who is actually having the experience.
You are so biased against - everything appears terrible to you. You only see with those sort of eyes.

Beth,your are an honourable woman.I like your attitude,being nuetral.At no point of time ,have i accused anybody of lying.I maintain, perception vary from people to people.Just like in a classroom full of students,each student comprehends to his own ability.Even though the teacher taught the same to all students.Thats the only point i am making.How can i ever condemn anybody elses experiance?.Should i not probe by asking questions?
Anyway,i am no spammer.I have no wish to disrupt your discussion in any manner.I ask only your god given common sense to be applied and read all allegation with a magnifying glass.If you lived in India,you would understand the kind of motivating factor Swami is,when all around there are injustices of all kinds taking place.Please leave our eastern philosphers alone,as it is our country is taken a beating with arm twisting from the west,when we are not allowed to defend ourselves against terrorist.

You silly pathetic clown. Do you think I depend on USA< or India or anyone else to protect me ? I have of course offended thousands of people in India, notably a few dozen corrupt politicians and Sai Baba Trust members, and I am perfectly well aware of what they would want to do. Do you think I am that stupid to go into this expose this intensely without weighing the consequences and what is at stake for those I oppose and expose ? I know perfectly well what Sai Baba, and the political coterie can do to me, but they have no idea of what I can do to them.
AND , Truth is always the greatest defence, and as I have it with me, no matter what slimy creatures like you try to do, or threaten to do, you wouldn't succeed. And naturally, if Truth were on your side.... you wouldn't have to resort to such pathetic threats thinking you can scare me... You cannot, and that is an unchangeable fact.

To Anthony :
Exactly my point . How come you were silent when VV Reddy was accusing me of sexual abuse while being on security duty at the ashram etc ? He was posting all sorts of slander against me, and you chose to keep those posts up still and didn't say a word , but now the moment I say something to the same effect how is it you intervene.
As to the question of what was the nature of the relationship between VV Reddy and Sai Baba, I agree it may not have been sexual, it may have been sexual too, and we don't have any proof one way or other, and of course VV Reddy doesn't have to prove it to anyone. BUT, this isvery much relevant. Because one swallow doesn't make a summer. If VV Reddy's argument is " SB touched my genitals to cure me, so all other touchings and relationships too have to be same, anyone else saying anything else is lying", then it is perferctly valid to attack that line of reasoning.
Since you seem to like to illustrate with examples, let me say this : A man accused of robbing a bank cannot take the defence " I had been to a 1000 banks, ask all of them if I robbed any, I only went to get my own money from my account ". Is this a valid defence ??.
On the other hand, such so called "innocent " encounters like those of VV Reddy doesn't make other extremely serious sexual abuses totally invalid. In fact it has been conclusively proved that almost all the sexual abuses startedoff with "oiling", so called "healing", with comments of "bad karma, bad thoughts " etc. And also, probably there were 100 times more "oilings" than the serious sexual abuses. This in fact proves that SB chooses, watches, and then goes ahead in some cases. When this is the case, how is my own interpretation of VV Reddy's encounter invalid ?
I can tell with 100 % certainty that so many students of Sai Baba have been his active sex partners, and all through their college days, their classmates, roommates, friends knew it from their own mouths. Now, several of these sex partners absolutely deny it as they are comfortably settled in life with family etc, and do not want to admit it. I had known many of them to have received tens of thousands of rupees, cars, and various other "gifts" over several years. I know at least 6-7 of these sex partners who were "assisted" to get into lucrative positions in the West by Sai Baba's foreign devotees. In the background of all this, what I asked VV Reddy was not that "slanderous", while it has no proof of course.
Thank you,
Hari Sampath

Well, :) V.V. Ready you have had several close encounters, one in the interview room with Swami and another with a tacky ring, then your house almost burned down.
also I note, your English grammer changes from post to post...
The first few posts you wrote were so cleverly put, I thought you were a professor of English or someone professional, now, I don't know - your messages have changed to sound like a youth or a very young person.
Amazing.
Are there several of you writing under one name?
(Perhaps you will tell us why you feel you had the shock-therapy interview with Sai.)
I doubt it was pleasure -

<<<I have seriously wondered whether, after the spamming of the old QT board, the pro Sai Baba forces have rallied with more forethought and planning to bring a series of devices and strategems to persistently undermining the second implementation of this board>>>
Oh dear. Blown Out ...are you talking only of the so-called pro Sai people here? LOL. Pro-sai forces are spamming and undermining??? Get serious. You poor thing ..Are they interupting and sabotaging your hard efforts? LOL.
This is not a debate? Is this a board dedicated to one side only?
There is no strategy. There is no plan. Just a spinkling of sincere people whose experiences and perceptions happen to differ, perhaps , from yours.
I too, have met only decent people who are devotees of SB (until I came to the internet). I still see the decency in the current devotees, but I have seen little of it in the anti-sai side. I don't recognize who these people are.. They don't have the same qualities as the devotees I know. They are lacking in fundamental understanding of the basic truths that SB teaches...as if they had never taken the time or effort to understand Sai at all while devotees. so naturally, one would be suspicious that perhaps they have completely missed the boat with Sai.
Most of the so-called pro-side of this board are intelligent people sharing spiritual thoughts and feelings and their own experiences of Sai Baba...keeping the board (at least) at a higher level. Otherwise the board would just degenerate completely.
On the other hand...well, the evidence speaks for itself... They throw rotten tomatoes at the current pro-devotees and call names simply for trying to engage them in a "higher-minded "conversation.
If you can't recognize the truth of our words and the sincerity of our postings, then you lack sincerity yourself and I am not buying into your well written but "empty" post.
I am neutral, neither pro sai or against him, so I think I can see it a little less biased than you .

To VV Reddy No I see no reason to delete your reasonable (though heated) answer to being accused of being 'sb's sexual partner. It is a slanderous and uncalled for statement and you have a right to defend yourself.
To Hari Pardon me intervening, but VV Reddy does not need to prove to you he didn't do what you accuse him of! In fact, even if he did what you infer (and it appearsthis is not the case), it would be a private issue for him and has no bearing on the issue of 'sb'. We are only concerned where this form of act has been an abuse. If someone does not feel this is the case, it does not belong in the discuusion. Your accusation is similar to saying to someone 'You beat your wife. Now prove to me that you don't! '
Blown out Re .....May we pray often and often that our hearts will be loving, tolerant, understanding and kind.
Amen to that. It is the only answer to everything and anything in existence. So much more can be achieved with love than hate.

>>Hari Sampath"you miserable son of a son,how dare you call my sufferings and the subsequent healings as a sexual encounter.You disgust not only me but a whole lot of people here in India.If you ever come to India,you can expect the unexpected to happen,this i promise you.<<
VV Reddy, : And what about you calling the suffering of others abused sexually as "healing", and mocking at them ? When Sai Baba has anally raped so many young men and boys, forced oral sex from many, all you say is it is a healing,. because you apparently think so, and accuse others of lying.
You are asking "how come no one has ever come out screaming rape, from the interview room " Is this a valid question ? Tell me how many such "healings " by fondling genitals have been written in books ? Sai Baba has been doing this "healing" for decades, so how come not a single incident is written in any of the hundreds of books , if it was really valid healing ?
I still believe there is something suspicious, between you and Sai Baba which you are not revealing. I am reasonably guessing you were/are his sexual partner, he has set you up a business, and you "defend" him by saying all this is healing, citing your own experience. Can you prove that Sai Baba and you did not have sex ?
As to you threatening me, I have received hundreds of such threats , phone calls, emails etc for the last 3 years. I don't give a damn, and you as well as Sai Baba's goons , can't do a thing in reality, I know how to take care of myself.

Its not my intention to ask you to change your thinking overnight,but please consider my case,too,as i have described what happened.There are plenty of people with Swamis experiance.But you have to make the effort to try and understand actions in proper perspective.
For people like Hari Sampath who in their cavalier manner,have the audacity to call my sufferings,a sexual encounter,-all i can say is,they need to have their heads examined.

Dear Sisters and Brothers on QT,
In general, this Board seems to illustrate an interesting possibility.
That - given the high preponderance of insulting, unkind words daily to be seen on it - Sai Baba as a teacher has had an exeptionally poor influence on both current AND former devotees. Admittedly, many fine persons belonging to BOTH groups do not post on QT. Let us trust, then, that the board is a highly unrepresentative sampling of both groups.
Remembering back along my many years spent in utmost devotion and profoundly heart-enrichening service to Sai Baba, my recollection is of the large number of incredibly decent person I met along the way. And this related to working closely together, so that there was not much hiding our weaknesses. There were some astonishingly unkind people too, not least those (just like the angelic ones, advanced into high position by Sai Baba himself). My experience has been the same with the former devotee community. Frankly, most do not - and absolutely WILL NOT - engage in all the mudslinging, name-calling and put-downing that is so extensively a feature, despite the very decent Anthony's best hopes and patience, of the Quick Topic board. It is very sad to see this. So, very sad indeed.
I have seriously wondered whether, after the spamming of the old QT board, the pro Sai Baba forces have rallied with more forethought and planning to bring a series of devices and strategems to persistently undermining the second implementation of this board.
May we pray often and often that our hearts will be loving, tolerant, understanding and kind.
Your Brother still somehow,
Blown Out

'I am a living testimony of Swamis genital manipulation of curing me of my ailments, when modern educated doctors, with their numerous tests in the labs could do nothing.'
[(V.V.Reddy 2192, 06-20-2002 01:02 PM ET (US)]
So was Hans de Kraker, but Baba's 'technique' worked out totally different for him, you should look into the pure way too, of Hans' description of what happens:
(The whole story is on www.exbaba.com, this is just a part of it)
My friend had now left. I was by myself and was called in a few days after he had left. I went into the interview room and was given a private audience in a separate room. When in this separate room, he asked me how things were in Australia. He told me that he would give me every thing, money, a house, a wife EVERYTHING!
He then signed me to come closer and hug him.
He had earlier that trip asked me to kiss him on the cheek, while I was helping him getting something from a room adjacent to the interview room. This was a little room where he kept his gowns. It was his custom to give a gown to people for healing purposes (it was common believe that "hugging" a gown could cure a disease), or when they had opened one of his centres. He asked me to help him get something from that room. While leaning over to get something from a lower shelf in the closet, when rising he pointed at his cheek, indicating that he wanted me to kiss him. I did so, very surprised and kind of suspicious. I come from a country though where man and women irrespective of sex, kiss each other on the cheek three times. So after my first suspicion, relativised everything back to normal (I am still amazed today, how far ones mind can go!)
So back to that moment where he asked me to come closer. He then hugs me (I am on my knees and he is seated on his chair-there are no people present). He now turns his face and puts his lips on mine; my head his spinning and my mind is running at 500 kilometres per hour. I don't know what to do! My mouth tightens up, and I feel extremely uncomfortable and confused with this "perceived incarnation of GOD on earth trying to kiss me on and in my mouth!! Sai Baba slaps me on my cheek and says "Loosen up!!! With other people not OK with Sai Baba OK " I am even more uncomfortable now and feel disgusted at the same time.
Sai Baba realised his and my predicament and decides not to continue. He now tells me again that he will give me everything and stands up and tells me to do padnamnamaskaar. As I go on my knees, and touch his feet with my forehead, he pulls up my arms and indicates he wants his calf muscles massaged. Although very uncomfortable with everything that had happened I still continued to listen to him. Many people knew how he liked having his calve muscles massaged and I had seen respectable men and women of all walks of life do the same thing....he now takes my head and pushes it quite firmly into his groin...he then pulls up my arms and asks me to go higher and higher and higher...NOW I AM HOLDING HIS BUTTOCKS AND WONDER WHAT THE HELL MY DIVINE MASTER IS ASKING ME TO DO!!! Fuse!!! Crash! I let go my arms and now I am even more shell shocked...he pulls up his dress, presents me his half-erect penis and invites me to take up my "Good Luck Chance":
"This is your Good Luck Chance"
I am now on my knees facing his erect penis, being asked to perform oral sex. He stands there, and I think:
AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THIS?
COULD I DO THIS?
-.....-
I then instinctively stretch out my right arm and put on the part of his chest which hides his heart and say:
"I don't want this Swami, I want your heart"
He now drops his dress and tells me: "Yes yes yes of course you have my heart"
He now asks me to take my pants down, "discovers" my penis is not erect and tells me that that is how it is supposed to be!
"Swami is inside there see, Swami is inside there."
Hell NO! That is Mine and Mine! And you are certainly not in there!
I thought
He asks me to do Padnamnamaskaar again
and again
he pulls up his dress
"This is your second Good Luck Chance" he said.
I refuse and get up without saying anything. I am now angry, confused and dazed. I feel burning! God just took a backdoor! A very clever manipulator and professional deceiver had just trashed the fundamentals of the past eight years of my life. I had abstained from any sexual activity because he had suggested it was good for my spiritual Evolution. He had harassed and embarrassed my girlfriend and myself because of our difference in age, while he was hitting on someone 42 years his junior...He had told us to break up our relationship and for what reason?! So he could have a go?!?!
In reality I pulled the carpet myself from under a mental castle which I had built myself. I am responsible for that, he is for abusing the good faith of people, their trust, to the point of putting their life on the line and actually loosing it
Devastation
Devastation
He asked me to keep this quiet, to not say anything to anyone
I walked out of the interview room and run to my room.
I lock myself in.
I black out until 6am the next morning (from 5 PM the day before)
The next morning people that apparently came to my room and knocked approached me on the door.
Someone had called Europe even and told the leader of the group. I got a call from her the morning after. She expressed concern and told me people had seen me walking out of the interview room all pale…then they tried the apartment but I had locked myself in. She asked me what had happened. "Did he try to have sex with you" I told her that it was something between him and me. I did not want to talk about it.
The first few days after I sit in darshan at a distance, not wanting to be close. I look at the masses and masses of people and wonder how he manages to handle all these people."Who are you!" I ask myself...a few weeks pass…. I get another interview with a group of Germans / Russians. My attention is elsewhere and Sai Baba monitors every move of my eyes. I see his ring trick and how he tosses the old ring between the pillow and the armrest of his seat. I look at this Older Russian lady who is crying while she sits in front of him. He is playing the crowd, and all of a sudden the GODhead has become a bad trickster. In the mean time the group has arrived from Europe and we are all working hard in the kitchen. I had thrown myself in the work to forget something, which I was trying to refuse to accept: reality.

To VV Reddy We totally understand that, for you, 'sb' is what he says he is and that you feel he helped you with your sexual experience with him. That is wonderful. You don't need to keep defending your view. That is your experience and you felt benefit. But, there are others who did not receive benefit from similar experiences and they also have a voice. You also need to be tolerant of how others perceive him. Your adoration of the person you have chosen to follow is obvious. We wish you great joy and learning on your path, as we all wish for ourselves.

Dear Bored,
Why don't you say something interesting? There is no such thing as hogging the air waves with a message board...anyone can chime in at any time.
Mr Reddy, I am enjoying reading your posts and your experience with Baba. I have a couple of friends who's lives have been miraculously changed forever because Sai Baba healed them right in the interview room. The illnesses never returned..And this was more that 25-30 years ago. So, no one can tell me that SB is not a true healer. These people did not heal themselves.
Unless one has suffered intensely in life, I don't know if they can appreciate coming in contact with such a soul and being helped.
I just found a letter I wrote to SB 4 years ago. (I'm trying to do spring cleaning ) I asked him for help with several problems...problems that could not be solved by me...only an intervention could help. When re-reading this letter, I realized that everything in the letter that I asked for was given to me. Until I read the letter, I didn't realize this. I had sent the letter off and forgotten about it.
Well, anyway, that's no big deal among miracles, but I was somewhat touched by the fact that everyhting I asked for I got, and all my problems that I was so worried about were handled.

2206,your post is like a dingbats,ROFL.Now the situation is,i am a minority who has come forward saying the same stuff but accept the action of Swami as a cure for my ailments.You have another set of people saying the same things but charging Swami with pedophilia.I cannot speak for others but as far as i am concerned,Swami saved my life and i am grateful to him for that.
The rest of your post are just meaningless distortion exposing your convulted mind.I dont give a damn whether you or anyone else believes me,because people choose to believe what they want to believe,regardless whether there is any truth in it.But one thing is certain,there is a very sick movement which wants to by hook or by crook,tarnish Swamis image.Swami is truth,he knows how to defend himself superbly,i am only expressing my gratitude by speaking out the truth about my experiance.

V V Ready - meditation, realization! by sucking on ssb penis- come on or is it, I'm coming from ssb?
You have a son you say, he commits suicide because ssb just did a lot more then rubbing vibuthi on your son's geniatls.And you would say - what a blessing!- if that is what you are trying to tell us?
Families are face with that!
you must be a fool! for us to go along with your reasoning and experience. for that - you are a fool!!

Swami told me,that he who has attained fruits of profound meditation practice and fruits of spiritual knowledge, if he is contented, has purified senses and is always roaming alone aimlessly.
Swami further said that yoga disciple who becomes desire less by stilling thoughtless by profound meditation in conscious mind, enters in absolute contentment and in this situation realizes the spiritual knowledge of self-consciousness. In conscious mind, one feels himself as all alone and all rest perception created by thoughts. He considers that all in whole universe is perception of his senses and there is nothing other than him [self-consciousness].
First symptom for realization of absolute sense of self-consciousness by profound meditation is feeling content, unattached to objects of universe and living inactive life by surrendering individual sense of living being.
By following this simple rule of thumb,i personally feel at peace.

I was 29 years old.Swami chose my wife.He manifested a Mangalasutra for my beloved wife.I have a son named Sai Eshwara.I have a daughter named Sai Jananani.I live in Hyderabad.I run my own industry.In fact i branched out on my own from my fathers business.Stop doubting Swami.Thats all i can say.There are innumerable people,who will vouch for Swamis miracle cures.I am just one of the many.

Quoting Dennis"In the process of putting SSB on ice and doing a slow and careful investigation after being an active devotee for 27 years,a distinct pattern emerged. First, the oiling of the genitals and what could be called "genital manipulation." But it did not stop there! Later interviews involved masturbation, oral sex, and even in some cases the penetration of the anus......."alas my dear fellow,i have my own experiance and my own common sense.Why the hell should i believe a third person,who is a total stranger,how much ever a pattern emerges.?If you go looking for a particular pattern,you will get that pattern?Even after 27 years you are still a doubting Thomas of Swami,means,its better you stick to Yogananda and Jesus Christ.Swami is in the least bit bothered whether Dennis is believing him or not.I suppose Swami has important task building a future generation of leaders.Go in peace,and let us worry about our Eastern Gurus,as a matter of fact,western people can never mesh into our fold nor understand our way of life.Please get out of our country,and keep your disgusting values in the west.

Truelight and others,i do not know whether Swami has treated girls and cured them.At least Indian girls are not going to come out and speak openly if Swami has done genital manipulation for them to cure any ailments.I simply dont know if he has done nor am i interested to know also.I had a problem,Swami made me healthy and live again.That is important to me and my faith in him.
Marswalker,you are entitled to your opinion,but please dont cast aspersion on people.There is absolutely nothing wrong in the manner i was treated by Swami.As far as i am concerned,Swami in the role of a doctor cured me when no other doctor in India could.
As far each ones belief,they have to draw their own conclusion and perception.I am not the one to judge and above all there are far too many outstanding acheivments and deeds Swami is doing.Pure common sense is enough.People in the interview room if they did not like what Swami was doing,what prevented them from bolting from there?Why did they not scream then and there?Why is it there are no bleeding scenes of the alleged victims,if they were being raped?Does anyone know,how difficult it is to rape a person?People are talking nonchalantly as if its an easy affair?Some people have posted messages in the internet that they were repeatedly raped,please stop this nonsense.All lies.
Get real,and be practical.Somebody has hidden motives for blasphemising Swami.If one were to take a poll,you would see,most of the expose scamsters are Christians.I have no doubt in my mind,that this is a sick Christian movement to disgrace India and its spiritual culture.

Re: #2196 "....... I did not trust the internet.

This is why we are ex-devotees. I wonder...if even ONE person who remains a devotee has bothered to personally contact sexual abuse victims of sb and have heart-to-heart talks with them.

I think 'self awareness' has to be first on the spiritual teacher's list of 'tools' to use. Once the devotee learns awareness - he/she can proceed without too much help.
What happens to most spiritual seekers in religious movements is they come obssessed with 'goodness' and spreading the word. They want to convert the world, they want to shout to the high heavens how wonderful God or their leader is. etc. etc.
But for many seekers this will only last a few years or so before the enthusiasm dies. What is left? Probably a better person but not a 'whole' person.
Before we don our suits of angelic bliss we need to first dispurse with our earthly 'demons' - this is hard to do without a sincere spiritual teacher to guide us. Once the demons have been disposed of we are then free to find our own way.
Someone (i think it was old devotee) said the ashram was full of people getting worse day by day.. He is probably right, it takes a long time to deal with our demons. And I think there are many demons fully surfaced in the Sai arena.
I really don't feel that Sai baba is interested in the good or sweet, or even the charitable, he is interested in those who need to find themselves...nevermind how painful it might be.
Once there is self-awareness the rest falls in place in its own time.
It is not a nice way to learn truth, and it is difinitely not conventional but it is a way many gurus use, according to many Eastern books.

Re: 2193 >>I asked Swami as to what is the connection to genital manipulation and curing of various ailments.<<
Let's not forget our God-given common sense and discernment! To papraphrase a respected East Indian saint - A true guru or avatar always sets a standard for those on a lower level of spiritual attainment.....In the process of putting SSB on ice and doing a slow and careful investigation after being an active devotee for 27 years,a distinct pattern emerged. First, the oiling of the genitals and what could be called "genital manipulation." But it did not stop there! Later interviews involved masturbation, oral sex, and even in some cases the penetration of the anus....... I did not trust the internet. I got on the phone and talked to victimes, and friends and parents of victims in many countries of the world.....Reddy, frankly you have just not dug deep enough. You are worshipping a fraud avatar!
By the way, the 2000 Christmans discourse comes to mind. I have talked to many many ex-devotees working the expose' for the last 2 years. None are taking money or bribes as accused by SSB in this speech.
SSB has not lived a beautiful life chiseled for the ages!
Best wishes, Dennis

How old were you when your 'doctoring' took place?
What I feel is so difficult for people to understand about the method you say Swami uses, is that its on young men only and not older men. Yet older men, women and girls have problems which also start at the same chakra point - the one at the base of the spine.
(I have recently read somewhere else that the lower chakras or area is the 'energy powerhouse' for human beings. (So you are probably right that the lower chakra is the base of the karmas.)
We all have karmas both men, women girls and boys.
Why does Swami cure some with physical touch and ignore others altogether.
That is the question, I suppose, on most people's mind.

I asked Swami as to what is the connection to genital manipulation and curing of various ailments.Swami told me,that the root of all "Karmas"get their sustenance from that area.Honestly i dont understand all these tantrik practices,but it sure does work,at least for me.In Hindu Tantrik methods,i think its called Muladhara Chakraha.So some kind of energy is latent in that area which when transformed gives cure to many people.
To some this maybe gross,but to some its like a doctor curing his patient.People ask,that without the knowledge of the person,how can Swami start to apply genital manipulation technique,which is very odd and resembles pedophilia?A mother does not seek the permission of her child,if she thinks that what she does will benefit her child.Sai is Mother ;Baba is Father.Is it wrong for Swami in his role as mother and father to take liberty in his techniques,to do what is best for his children?Perverted minds will attribute it to Pedophilia,but then there are people like me,who owe our very existence and second lease of LIFE to Swami.

There are countless number of people who have benefited by Swamis miraculous cures.Some of the methods employed by him maybe unacceptable to many people.They are welcome to their opinions.
To dwell on some wild unproved allegations are nothing short of demented and captive souls,who are by and large influenced by dark forces.Take for example the topic of discussion here.Swami has been termed anti-christ.The very symbol of christ namely the "cross"adorns the insignia along with other faiths.Now common sense should prevail upon people,would an anti-christ being have the symbol or sign of christ in his emblem?Is that a tall order to ask?
For many christians here,none of them have seen christ or heard him speak,yet just by going by the book,they have developed faith.Fine,terrific,keep it up.But what gives them the right,to denounce Sathya Sai Baba as anti-christ?As far as i know,thanks to Exorcist,Omen and other Holly wood movies,the devil cringes before the cross.Does Sathya Sai Baba cringe before his own emblem with a "CROSS"on it,ROFL?Wake up,smell the cofee.
I am a living testimony of Swamis genital manipulation of curing me of my ailments,when modern educated doctors,with their numerous tests in the labs could do nothing.

To VVReddy Re 2189 By all means suggest a website that may be applicable to the purpose of this board. But lengthy disserations are not appropriate on this Quick Topic board.
Re 2188 We are well aware what 'sb' says. He merely quotes teachings given a thousand times before. You are attempting to teach people who may have cut their teeth on this stuff in kindergarten!! Anyone who wants to know the 'old' teachings that 'sb' gives out, may go to the various 'sb' websites, with our blessing. This board is not for the purpose of advertising his teachings.

Now, you might say at this point that there are two fundamental entities, Consciousness and Energy. Hindu sects call this Shiva and Shakti, or Brahman and Maya, or Krishna and His Leela etc, different words meaning the same thing.
The monists/adhwaitins,like Sai Baba say that this duality is ephemereal also. That ultimately it is ALL ONE. As Baba has said,you cant separate a thing from its nature. Like for example you cant separate the dream from the dreamer. The dreamer creates the dream and it occurs within himself. The dreamer alone exists, really speaking. So also God alone exists. The Universe is a phenomena within Himself.
This is why Sai Baba says to see everything as God. That God i | |
