2018/02/28 Comment on wordpress blog Sathya Sai Baba’s death and ‘mahasamadhi’

Mr. Pretty do you ever consider to think before you say something? How can you compare the picture of a human body,which is marked by severe illness, with that of the British Queen at her best – same age 84? Sathya Sai Baba sits in a wheel chair at the time of the pictures taken. Does your hate ever stop and do you have no other things to do? What has this spiritual teacher done to you, that you have to leave all your hateful comments and investigation on your web site , i wonder. At the time you visited Prashanti Nilayam with Joy Thomas, while taking His blessings, i think you thought differently. I think enough is enough, don’t you think so. I hope the Divine, whatever name you have given it, will guide you and bless you. Besides – the appearance one does show at age 84 is not the same, depending on life circumstances.

My reply:

Your comment on my wordpress blog shows you evidently did not know much about Sai Baba, and doubtless do not want to know. You clearly know yet far less about my writings since you wonder what "this spiritual teacher" did to me. He deceived and broke faith with all of us, but it is what he did to so many others that I react against. Nonetheless you have asked me some questions which I am most pleased to answer.

I do not hate Sai Baba, but I definitely do disdain him in his countless deceits, breaks of trust, sexual abuses, murder involvement and much more. I learned of all these things to my shock and disappointment firstly from V.K. Narasimhan, then the Baileys and eventually from many other prominent follower who defected. I took up the dutiful task of speaking up for the helpless victims of his many different cynical uses and abuses of followers, for I had been instrumental in bringing many to Sai Baba through my book ’Source of the Dream’ and other writings in his journal and books. After I spoke out, I was through the years contacted by over a thousand ex-devotees who had experienced most awful things from Sai Baba andso I spent several hours daily up until a few years ago responding to them and putting the facts they wanted cleared up on-line. It was time well spent and I have been vindicated by the reports of those people and the way Sai Baba died ignominiously. I consider defending the weak and abused and warning vulnerable minds like yours not to be naive but investigate both sides before getting entrapped in the delusion and psychological problems nearly all devotees do sooner or later (though they keep quiet about their real problems and fears as many of their family members or friends know about.

As to comparing Baba’s old age with that of the Queen. He constantly gave assurances through decades that he was always in perfect health. For example, in Sanathana Sarathi of August 11, 2001 you can read his words "I do not suffer from any kind of disease because there is no trace of greed in Me. That is why I am always healthy." Also he claimed “Purity, perseverance and patience. With these three you are bound to acquire good health and bliss…. the truth is that these three are responsible for my health (Arogya)” The Queen never boasted like that and I would surmise that it is exactly those three qualities he lacked, but the Queen has in abundance.

Since you got even my name so wrong, I suppose you are an inaccurate judge in other things. It would be best for you to go on believing in all the fraud, as to wise up could possibly destroy even any falsely based peace of mind you may feel and much worse has happened to many devotees just existing in an otherworldly false reality. At the time I knew Joy Thomas I was still unaware of the vast deception that Sai Baba and his corrupt cronies had built up. She, however, moved to Prashanthi Nilayam and found that once there she had one hell of a time, no longer a VIP, no one to push her wheelchair, a room where noise of passers by and much else was constant. When she fell ill, she went into the hospital, where she as denied blood transfusion by Dr. Singh and died there. Ray Thomas was stuck in the place and could not do anything to help her or get justice afterwards. He had to remain silent, or else...
