Comment: A movie clip showing some young men dressed in white faking a “materialization”. The ExBaba admin fraudulently stated (as they often do) that the men were “probably devotees in Puttaparthi or Bangalore in India”. Robert Priddy said the men were “Sathya Sai Baba’s students”. Of course, neither the anonymous Ex-Baba admin or Robert Priddy can explain why Sai Baba’s alleged students are Venezuelan (the main person’s name is allegedly Ivan) and are speaking Portuguese in the video. Apparently, if they wear white and are in India, they are Sai Baba’s students (sarcasm implied).

- Sai Baba Researchers’ Huge Debt To Scholar Brian D. Steel
http://www.rfjvds.dds.nl/ex-baba/engels/shortnews/barrybriansteel.html
Comment: More obsessive and repetitive stalk-material from Barry Pittard’s Anti-Sai Conspiracy blog about Brian Steel. Judging from my email correspondence with Brian Steel, one can see that he is a snippy and bitter person. Needless to say, I was easily able to deflate Brain Steel’s arguments about Sai Baba’s discourses and expose his shabby research and conflicting viewpoints. To this day (years after writing my rebuttal) neither Brian Steel nor any other critic has tried to refute my webpage about him. Instead, Brian Steel writes me pointless and mean-spirited emails full of ad hominem attacks.

- Sathya Sai Baba Fails To Materialize Top Tennis Match
http://www.rfjvds.dds.nl/ex-baba/engels/shortnews/barrybabafailstennismatch.html
Comment: More obsessive and repetitive stalk-material from Barry Pittard’s Anti-Sai Conspiracy blog. Needless to say, the alleged “Top Tennis Match” was actually two “test matches” between India and the Philippines (Ref). Sathya Sai Baba built a world-class tennis stadium that was to host the two matches. One of the matches was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances and the other one was played (Ref). Leave it to ex-devotees to exaggerate and misrepresent the facts.

- William Aitken’s Sai Baba Book. Major Flaws Says Scholar
http://www.rfjvds.dds.nl/ex-baba/engels/shortnews/barryaitken.html
Comment: More obsessive and repetitive stalk-material from Barry Pittard’s Anti-Sai Conspiracy blog. Brian Steel critiqued William McKay ‘Bill’ Aitken’s book “Sri Sathya Sai Baba - A life”. Needless to say, Brian Steel is highly adept in four things:
- Ad hominem attacks.
- Pushing his stupefying bias onto others.
- Rambling.
- Blindly accusing others with derogatory accusations.
Click Here to view my email correspondence with Brian Steel. Brian Steel’s odd use of CAPS, speaking Spanglish, misspellings, odd use of abbreviations, and weird quoting habits leave one with the distinct impression that if he was a scholar (he lists no verifiable credentials on his website), he was not a very good one.

I came across the following pictures of Reinier Van Der Sandt (a caustic critic of Sathya Sai Baba who owns and operates at least seventeen known websites containing Anti-Sai material). Needless to say, Reinier’s amusing poses are rather feminine and girly. This is the same critic who thinks it is OKAY to peruse child pornography as long as you are not a “customer” (Ref).
