SATHYA SAI BABA NEWS (With Updates And Comments):
Sai Baba's Claims of Divinity. Avatar and Triple Avatar

Comment: A link to Brian Steel's site.
The Credulous and the Credible
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex-baba/engels/articles/credulous.html
Comment: Robert Priddy said:
"Three close devotees of Sai Baba among his prominent 'special guest VIPs' (S. Piculell, T. Meyer and Jack Hawley), have openly claimed to know that Sai Baba is innocent of the sexual charges, a conviction frequently also held by other close followers and office-bearers. This claim is transparently self-defeating, however, because none of them have been able to monitor Sai Baba's activities in more than a few dozen interviews lasting an hour or so, plus the rather limited periods that Baba is seen in public during darshans, festivals and such like".
Of course, Robert Priddy is guilty of exactly the same thing! Robert Priddy has not been able to "monitor Sai Baba's activities in more than a few dozen interviews (actually he has had far fewer interviews) lasting an hour or so". If Robert Priddy feels that these three VIPs are not entitled to their opinions due to their limited time with Sathya Sai Baba then I think Robert Priddy should apply the same standard to himself and refrain of accusing Sathya Sai Baba of sexual improprieties when his time with Sathya Sai Baba was not any greater than the three he mentioned.

Sai Baba - Good and Evil
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex-baba/engels/articles/goodevil.html
Comment: Robert Priddy made reference to "evidence" against Sathya Sai Baba. Of course, this alleged "evidence" is so compelling, absolutely nothing has come from it in many years. This suggests that the alleged "evidence" against Sathya Sai Baba is inadequate or non-existent.
Two different short horoscopes for Sri Sathya Sai Baba
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex-baba/engels/articles/horoscope042902.html
Comment: A highly amusing article where Brian Steel analyzed two horoscopes for Sathya Sai Baba. One based on the traditional birthday of Nov. 23rd 1926 and one based on the inaccurate Bukkapatnam school record date of Oct. 4th 1929. Isn't it strange that an alleged "scholar" believes in horoscopes and planetary and stellar influences? And ex-devotees say Sai devotees are brainwashed and gullible!

The Lingam Question - Part Two: Promises of liberation?
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex-baba/engels/articles/lingam.html#The Lingam Question - Part Two:
Comment: It is true that magicians can bring up lingams from their stomach and can fake materialize them as well. Consequently, it is a valid doubt that Sathya Sai Baba materializes lingams through his mouth. However, some of the lingams are very unique and one even had a jyothi (light) inside that changed colors every few minutes. Many people believe that Sathya Sai Baba can materialize lingams through his mouth because many people attest to Sathya Sai Baba's miraculous ability to make vibuthi, amrita, flowers, fragrances, butter, mishri, sandal paste and other substances flow from his pictures all around the world. The reason given is that if Sathya Sai Baba can materialize these things all around the world, why can't he do it through his body as well?
In memory of all the many promises Sai Baba never kept
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex-baba/engels/articles/memory.html
Comment: Dennis Hanisch fluffed up this article with all sorts of claims that came from an anonymous person. This is a typical anonymous ploy used by Anti-Sai Activists to deceive others with their claims.
Monkey Mind
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex-baba/engels/articles/monkeymind.html
Comment: It is obvious that Robert Priddy expects those reading his articles to be "half-blind, half-dumb and completely mindless…whenever his claims, words and acts are questioned". The case of the pot calling the kettle "black".
More Discrepancies in Sai Babas Words
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex-baba/engels/articles/morediscrepancies.html
Comment: Serguei Badaev has often agreed with Robert Priddy and Brian Steel about the inaccuracy and heavy editing of the English translations to Sathya Sai Baba's Telugu discourses. Since Serguei believes that Sathya Sai Baba's English translations are heavily edited and do not reflect his actual and literal words in Telugu, citing these faulty English translations as inerrant English translations is hypocritical.

Nisargadatta on the Qualities of a Realised Person
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex-baba/engels/articles/nisargadatta.html
Comment: Robert Priddy has written previous articles deriding Indian Gurus. This is okay, because Robert Priddy is perfectly entitled to his opinions. However, in this article Robert Priddy talks about Nisargadatta whom he deemed as being "fully realized". Robert Priddy cited a few quotes from Nisargadatta about how gnani's do not boast about themselves (trying to prove that Sathya Sai Baba is not a gnani). Of course, this critique would be valid if Robert Priddy didn't systematically bash Indian Gurus and lump them together on the bottom of the barrel. More double talk from Robert Priddy. The valid question arises if Robert Priddy ever spent any time with Nisargadatta? One cannot judge a person's character through a book, but apparently Robert Priddy is willing to call Nisargadatta "fully realized" based on the translated words he read in an English book (and we know how picky Robert Priddy is with English translations). Apparently Robert Priddy's heart went pitter-patter when he read the book and fully assessed Nisargadatta as a self-realized soul via some sort of mystical intuition.

A Question For Devotees
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex-baba/engels/articles/question.html
Comment: Perhaps Dennis should put his question of why devotees "give up their questioning attitude" to the Anti-Sai Activists Dave Lyons and Brian Steel, both who criticized me and my website even though they admitted not reading it. Dave Lyons personally attacked me and my views even though he admitted he never read my site and did not intend to do so. Brian Steel said he could not access my website and went bombastic over an article that friends sent him that was not even the right one.

Two major new essays from Robert Priddy
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex-baba/engels/shortnews/essays.html
Comment: Robert Priddy talked about the well known Sathya Sai Baba devotee, V.K. Narasimhan (V.K.N.). Priddy attributed all sorts of rubbish to V.K.N. that is highly questionable and unbelievable. V.K.N. was one of Sathya Sai Baba's most distinguished VIPs. I have personally seen him and he always greeted Sathya Sai Baba with folded palms and showed much devotion. V.K.N. was also the recipient of numerous personal talks and interviews with Sathya Sai Baba. Now, however, Robert Priddy wants everyone to suspend their common sense faculties and believe him when he said that V.K.N. related all sorts of negative and criminal allegations against Sathya Sai Baba. Robert Priddy waited for V.K.N. to die before he attributed all of sorts of rubbish to him. How can anyone believe the words of Robert Priddy when he clearly has an Anti-Sai agenda and is unequivocally motivated by hate, anger and vindictiveness?
