What's new

Sathya Sai Baba passes away

a country which is full of contradictions like ours, it's not surprising to see that we have many number of followers of these kind of fake babas!! it shouldn't be a shocker to anyone!! afterall we are so used to daylight robbery by our politicians, bureaucrats & sadhu babas alike! hopefully things are changing for better, it's good to see people have difference of openions & not getting carried away by emotions & sentiments!!

Duniya mein bevkoofon ki koi kami nahin hai. Ek dhoondho, hazar milenge!

...Aur hindustan mein toh das hazaar.

I am thinking a little ahead, when in 21st centuries literate people can be fooled, even when you show them video evidence, what should have happened in 18th century. Here people go by belief, once they believe you, cheating is easy.
 
.
I am expecting a new Baba soon, someone will claim that he entered his soul and he is now the new Baba, and we will soon see fools following him. We are so much into believing that we can change fortunes by magic that leads us to do all this.

That's why this country got raped by pillagers and looters.

People were busy in their emotions and rulers utilized them.

That's the plight of India.

He got a lot of money and he spent a lot of money for the poor. The poor have benefited. That is the bottom line.

The people who believe that are in same category as who believe Sat Sai Baba. We use brain and logic.

The country is getting raped and pillaged right now, while fools have nothing better to do than throw stones at Babas who have done a lot for the poor.

But you are fine with people who go around spreading superstitions like "You will burn in hell unless Jesus saves you"?

ah come on you can compromise on hereafter thing but someone looting you and punishing you in this very physical world is altogether different thing

But when the same teachings of god roasting humans like chicken and gobbledygooks like boiling water falling on their heads, only for disbelief, then such teachings cant be taken lightly.

I will agree that he has did a lot for poor. But he could have denied the special status
Given to him by some.

Responses to criticism

Neither Sathya Sai Baba nor any organizations associated with him have been charged or convicted for sexual abuse or any other crime in a court of law.[123] Alaya Rahm filed a lawsuit against the Sathya Sai Baba Society in the Superior Court of California on January 6, 2005. On April 7, 2006 Alaya Rahm withdrew his lawsuit after indications that his challenge lacked merit. The case was dismissed 'with prejudice' meaning it cannot be filed for the same claims again.[123] The Pioneer also noted that no offers of monetary settlement were paid to Alaya Rahm.[123]

During an interview with Asian Voice magazine Ashok Bhagani, a trustee of the Sai Organization in the UK, said that the allegations in the Secret Swami BBC documentary were baseless. Bhagani said that devotees never meet Sai Baba alone.[121]

Lawrence A. Babb states that "he is certainly more than the mere parlour trick magician many of his critics claim that he is."[13]

Devotee Bill Aitken (traveller) was quoted by The Week as saying that Sathya Sai Baba's reputation has not been harmed by the negative stories published about the guru. He said that the more detractors rail against Sathya Sai Baba, the more new devotees went to see him.[124]

In the article Divine Downfall, published in the Daily Telegraph, Anil Kumar, the ex-principal of the Sathya Sai Educational Institute said that he believed that the controversy is part of Baba's divine plan and that all great religious teachers had to face criticism during their lives. Anil Kumar also said that allegations have been leveled at Sathya Sai Baba since childhood, but with every criticism he becomes more and more triumphant.[125]

In an official letter made public in December 2001, A.B. Vajpayee (then Prime Minister of India), P.N. Bhagawati (Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India), Ranganath Misra (Chair Person, National Human Rights Commissioner of India and Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India), Najma Heptulla (President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union; UNDP Distinguished Human Development Ambassador) and Shivraj Patil (Member of Parliament, India; Formerly of the Lok Sabha & Union Minister) all signed a letter which stated as follows "We are deeply pained and anguished by the wild, reckless and concocted allegations made by certain vested interests and people against Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. We would normally expect that responsible media would ascertain the true facts before printing such calumny - especially when the person is revered globally as an embodiment of love and selfless service to humanity. Since this professional ethic has not been observed by a section of the media, we have elected to go public with this signed statement."[126]
