A self-promoting 'holier than thou' Sai Baba supporter,Miriam Lakshmi (but taking the 'spiritual' pseudonym Miriam Shakti Devi) wrote a comment on my wordpress blog here as follows:-
Since those who write comments sometimes do not check to see if they were posted, I sent an e-mail to this young and evidently very naive lady, in which I wrote:-
"Ad your well-meaning (?) comment on my wordpress pages: I have sympathy with your position since I was once of very much the same attitude. That lasted for years until, after several years following a Swami Ambikananda in London, and eventually 18 years running the Sai Organisation in Norway and knowing thousands of devotees of Sathya Sai Baba, and those of other gurus.
I did almost nothing but seva for about 18 years and came to know the ashram people in and out . and must of the world organisation leaders. I had over 10 hours of interviews with Sai Baba over 18 years and hundreds of darsan contacts. Eventually I came to learn what I had never wanted to know about it all... and I am a very exacting and honest investigator, now having been contacted as trusted by over a thouand ex-devotees of Sai Baba with their accounts of all kind of fraud, abuse, crime and cover-up. It took me a decade to absorb and draw the unavoidable conclusion from it all.
You have shown that you do not know anything about me or what I stand for and why. I have posted you comment (on my website at http://www.saibaba-x.org.uk/) with a response for the public to read. I shall add postings that will soon appear under you name on Google.
However, if and when you come on better ideas and ralise the emptiness of the quest you are so devoted to in mere belief and repent for the error of your ways, you may contact me again and, if your attitude proves acceptable - I shall remove the postings that will now appear under you name on Google. I have some compassion even for people like yourself."
