Robert Priddy’s Moon Madness
More Pathological Lies From Robert Priddy
Referenced from robertpriddy.wordpress.com/2007/10/25/deceiving-devotee-makes-bogus-image-of-sai-in-the-moon/
Robert Priddy wrote a blogged article about a Sai Devotee he erroneously accused of making a “bogus image of Sai in the Moon”. The image in question is below:
Further sticking his foot in his mouth, Robert Priddy said:
“However, the falsifier who put together the deceptive image presented a completely circular moon. A wholly transparent fraudulence, in fact a wilful, and outright lie! Of course, had this occurred (except perhaps in the over-heated imagination of some devotees), it would have been global news story No. 1!”
Although Robert Priddy’s numerous lies have been fully documented and exposed by me, he continues to fraudulently and shamelessly lie about others unapologetically. This type of vicious behavior proves that Robert Priddy is mentally unstable and is in need of orthodox psychological help.
Since Robert Priddy (the alleged and self-professed “scholar”) is totally incapable of conducting even the most remedial and elementary or research, let me supply the general public with verifiable facts.
First of all, Darpan (the “Sai Devotee” referred to by Robert Priddy) fully admitted that the image was not real. Darpan said:
Sairam,Dear all,
this is not a real image, but im sending what i could see and visualise, what we all saw yesterday looking at the moon. there was not need to imagine a shape or make a guess the visual on moon was as clear as the image im sending now. HIS hair, eyes, nose and even HIS smile was very clear.Sairam,
enjoy! HIS blessings.
yours sincerley,
darpan (Reference)
Secondly, the SaiBabaOfIndia website linked the image directly to the post above. Click on the image for yourself (Reference). Anyone with any semblance of visual and mental acuity can see that the image in question is a composite and is not the Moon. Therefore, Robert Priddy’s entire article is based on lies and fradulent information that he never cared to research or verify for himself (which he can often be seen doing in relation to Sathya Sai Baba).
Robert Priddy loves to jump to the worst case conspiratorial view because he cares more for sensationalism and sleaze and cares less for accuracy and the truth.
Robert Priddy also said:
“It is noteworthy how far devotees will go to try to deceive others that they have experienced Sai ‘miracles’ Why they bother can be explained, for example, by the extra popularity and respect they hope to gain from other blind followers for being ‘blessed by Svami with a special darshan’ and for other selfish reasons.”
Needless to say, Robert Priddy wrote an entire book praising Sathya Sai Baba as God Incarnate and the Avatar of the Age when he was a Sai devotee for 17 - 26 years. In Robert Priddy’s Pro-Sai book (Source Of The Dream) he claimed he shared a telepathic bond with Sathya Sai Baba (which he similary claimed he had with Eric Steadman when he tripped on LSD) and that the Indian Guru cured him of a chronic neck and spinal ailment that no one else (including doctors) could help. Robert Priddy still believes (to this day) that Sathya Sai Baba can materialize apports, is psychically sensitive and is not an ordinary human being. Therefore, one is left to wonder if Robert Priddy is admitting that his alleged miraculous experiences with Sathya Sai Baba were attempts to sell more books and make money, gain extra popularity and respect from other blind followers or for selfish reasons?
Although Robert Priddy published Darpan’s email, he apparently never contacted him to get his facts right. Robert Priddy also published Darpan’s picture on his blog. What is strange about this is when I published Robert Priddy’s public-domain picture on my website (Reference), he whined and hissed that I violated his copyrights. Although Robert Priddy continues to whine and hiss about the publication of his picture on my website (and how it violates his copyrights), he published Darpan’s picture (without obtaining his permission) and saw absolutely nothing wrong with copyright issues. More shameless, self-serving hypocrisy from Robert “The Liar” Priddy.
Robert Priddy should immediately delete his defamatory post filled with numerous bold-faced lies and publicly apologize to Darpan. After all, this is exactly the type of behavior that critics demand of me when I make a mistake. They should practice the precept they wish for others to follow.
October 26th 2007 Update:
After I published this page exposing Robert Priddy’s easily verifiable and psychotic lies about Darpan, he changed the wording (but still made no retractions) on his article and added the following sentence:
“Why would any devotee make such an image of Sai Baba on the moon and circulate it unless it was to create the delusion - one sustained independently by numerous claimants at this location - that Sai Baba DID actually appear on the face of the moon?”
Robert Priddy can whine, snivel and drivel about this as much as he likes, it won’t change the fact that Darpan explicitly stated that the image was not real. Darpan created the image to give others a better idea on what he claimed he saw. How difficult is this to understand? Why would Robert Priddy publish an image on his blog showing the similarlity between Sathya Sai Baba and the outline on the moon if there was not some truth to these claims? Is Robert Priddy engaging in creating “delusions” as well?
