SATHYA SAI BABA NEWS (With Updates And Comments):
The Name "Sathya Sai Baba"
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex-baba/engels/articles/namebaba.html
Comment: Despite Robert Priddy's tirade against Sathya Sai Baba (libeling him as a child molester and boasting about the widespread exposure of Anti-Sai propaganda), don't expect him to supply the general public with any proof, legal documentation, convictions or even one single affidavit. Despite the widespread exposure of the allegations against Sathya Sai Baba, he is still very popular and still receives tremendous foreign support in the form of charitable donations.

It's getting more and more absurd...
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/absurd.html
Comment: This article is one page that was divided into three separate links. Asa Samsioe took issue with Sathya Sai Baba for saying that there are "326 diseases that haunt man". Sathya Sai Baba said this from an Ayurvedic concept of disease and was not referring to the allopathic cataloging of various mental, physical and psychological illnesses (that number in the thousands). This article was written on the mistaken notion that Sathya Sai Baba was referring to allopathic illnesses. He was not.
Concerning lies by Sathya Sai Baba
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/absurd.html#CONCERNING LIES BY SATHYA SAI BABA
Comment: This article is one page that was divided into three separate links. Robert Priddy claimed that Sathya Sai Baba has made numerous errors about a variety of topics. Click Here to view my article about this very issue, which also pertains to Robert Priddy's critiques.
Untruths by Sathya Sai Baba about his eye, his weight, his food etc.
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/absurd.html#UNTRUTHS BY SATHYA SAI BABA ABOUT HIS EYE, HIS WEIGHT, HIS FOOD etc.
Comment: This article is one page that was divided into three separate links. Robert Priddy took issue with Sathya Sai Baba's statement that he is in perfect health. Even with a broken hip, Sathya Sai Baba has said the same thing. Baba said that we must not equate our health with the body and that true health is related to peace of mind and mental equanimity. Consequently, Robert Priddy's attack against Sathya Sai Baba being in 100% good health is based on Robert Priddy's concept of health. It is not based on Sathya Sai Baba's concept of health.

Comment: Reindun Priddy (the wife to Robert Priddy) tried her hand at the negative attacks her husband has mastered. Needless to say, it is unconvincing. If anyone has fear, it's Anti-Sai Activists. They have proven that they are afraid by libeling me, defaming me, trying to suppress my contribution to the Sai Controversy and even banned my site from linking to theirs.
The face of Jesus
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/faceofjesus.html
Comment: This article has merit to it. There is a picture of the Face of Jesus that was painted by Aggemian in 1935. It appears as if someone superimposed that picture onto a type of cloth background and then tried to attribute the result to Sathya Sai Baba. This is not a materialized picture from Sathya Sai Baba. As I have discussed elsewhere, there are Anti-Sai Activists who feed fake miracle stories into the Sai Community and then later enjoy exposing the alleged miracle that they help propagate.

Sathya Sai Baba's continual 'Me!, Me!, Me!'
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/me.html
Comment: Robert Priddy once again babbling about Sathya Sai Baba's health issues. As I said before, Sathya Sai Baba's concept of health is very different than Robert Priddy's concept of health. Therefore, Priddy's attack is simply a projection of his own beliefs.
Sathya Sai Baba and the Bible. Unknown Facts or Lapses?
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/saibible.html
Comment: Serguei Badaev's points would be valid if he could tell us what his position is regarding Sathya Sai Baba's discourses. Anti-Sai Activists try to have it both ways by bashing Sathya Sai Baba's English discourses as inaccurate representations to his literal words in Telugu. Anti-Sai Activists then turn right around and accept these inaccurate English translations and use them as accurate references to what Sathya Sai Baba actually and literally said in Telugu.

Reinier Van Der Sandt (the Christian Webmaster for the ExBaba.com domain who has never seen or followed Sathya Sai Baba) said:
"It is obvious that the SSB's Christian devotees don't place much importance on how he manipulates the scriptures. It is also obvious that, regardless of the large population of Christians in this world, many of them are not practicing their faith nor are they very well versed in the scriptures."
It is obvious that Reinier vd Sandt is not familiar with scripture and its admonition against lying. Click Here to read my articles about Reinier van der Sandt and his pathological lies.
Does what is seen reflect the seer?
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/seenseer.html
Comment: Asa Samsioe talked about Bon Giovanni and Ram das Awle and their defence of Sathya Sai Baba. Although I do not agree with most of Giovanni and Awle's arguments, the fact remains that an overwhelming majority of allegations against Sathya Sai Baba are highly questionable, unsubstantiated, second-hand, anonymous and/or contradictory. The general public deserves to be made aware of these facts.
My version of the facts presents a serious and real threat to Anti-Sai Activists. This is evidenced in their banning my site from linking to theirs and trying to suppress my viewpoints by refusing to provide links to my website or even mentioning my name. Just as Asa Samsioe talked about Ram das Awle's closed-mindedness and refusal to venture into the truth with an open mind and sticking to facts, the very same argument can be used against Anti-Sai Activists (who many times refuse to even read the other side of the story and who remain stubbornly closed-minded even in face of the most blatant of contradictions and unsubstantiated allegations).
