SATHYA SAI BABA NEWS (With Updates And Comments):
The Secret Swami's Dr. Goebbels
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/barrygoebbels.html
Comment: This is an article by Barry Pittard that discussed the Seduced and Secret Swami documentaries. Both of these documentaries are biased, inaccurate and purposely suppressed additional information that compromised the alleged victim's "testimonies". Barry Pittard said that the Denmark National Broadcaster, DR, had copies of the Rahm's affidavit. Needless to say, since the time of the productions of the Secret Swami and Seduced programs, there has been a major development about Alaya Rahm:

Transcript of David Bailey's account by phone of his disaffection in 1999
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/shortnews/phoneconv.html#transcript
Comment: This is a phone transcript to David Bailey's disaffection story with Sathya Sai Baba. In this phone transcript, David Bailey told how he was suspected of inappropriate, sexual behavior with children (which lends credence to the perception that David Bailey wrote The Findings in an attempt to shift the focus away from his sexual behavior to Sathya Sai Baba).

Comment: The "Love is my Form" book has not been approved by the official Sathya Sai Org. LIMF was a private venture by Sai Towers. Brian Steel continually suggested that Sai Towers is associated with the Ashram. It isn't. Hagiographical writings are not necessarily "critical", as Brian Steel suggested. As a matter of fact, most hagiographic writings are non-critical.

Dr. G. Venkataraman, Slightly Visible
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/barryvenkataraman.html
Comment: An amusing letter from Barry Pittard. He claimed that cults "suppress facts" (despite the fact that Anti-Sai Activists purposely suppress facts themselves). Using Barry Pittard's logic, the Anti-Sai group he belongs to is displaying cult-like ploys! Barry Pittard also made a comment about the Secret Swami program.
Professor S. P. Ruhela's Charmed View
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/barryruhela.html
Comment: This article discusses S. P. Ruhela. There is mention to the Secret Swami and Sanjay Dadlani's comments about the Secret Swami. Sanjay lied when he said that Sathya Sai Baba molested Al Rahm. Al openly stated that he saw his own oiling experience as a type of healing and did not see it as something sexual.

The Sai Movement Closes Ranks Yet More
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/saibabble.html
Comment: This is about a letter that Goldstein sent to various Sai Centers after he was secretly filmed by the BBC crew in the privacy of his own home. What would you do if you were interviewed in the privacy of your own house and the next thing you know, you are being broadcast on the television all over the world? Anti-Sai Activists thought the secretive and undercover filming of Dr. Goldstein was okay. I am sure if any of them was secretly filmed, they would also be informing others not to consent to interviews. As a matter of fact, ex-devotees have already discussed me and my web site among themselves and are informing their fellow members to refrain from talking to me. Sounds like the ExBaba bandit is "closing ranks" as well.
