SATHYA SAI BABA NEWS (With Updates And Comments):

FLUFF - Another kind of Sathya Sai Hanky-Panky
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/hankypanky.html
Comment: This has got to be one of the most ridiculous, childish and immature articles written by Robert Priddy in recent weeks. Quite frankly I was very surprised that Priddy had the nerve to sign his name to this juvenile article. After years of publicly failing to make any leeway against Sathya Sai Baba in the legal system, media and elsewhere, Robert Priddy has become so desperate and frenzied that he is now attacking Sathya Sai Baba simply because Baba wipes his mouth and nose with a handkerchief! That's it. Priddy gathered no less than 20 pictures of Sathya Sai Baba wiping his mouth and nose and is making fun of this in what appears to be one of Priddy's typical online venting sessions.

Robert Priddy claimed that since Baba wipes his nose and mouth, this must be indicative of a respiratory disease. Priddy is not a doctor, has never been a doctor nor does he possess any credentials in the medical or health-related fields. Therefore, Priddy's speculative, long-distance diagnosis is to be considered that of a layman. Furthermore, Baba has been using a handkerchief to wipe his nose and mouth for many years going back to the early 70's. Priddy never had any problems with Baba wiping his nose or mouth when he was a devotee for 17 years. Now, however, it appears that Priddy has developed a newfound sensitivity for mucus (which not surprising considering his silent endorsement of slimy characters like Sanjay Dadlani and Tony O'Clery).

Then Priddy ranted about "several brave whistle-blowers" who allegedly claimed that Baba collected their semen in his handkerchief. Of course all of these "several brave whistle-blowers" do not have names. They are all anonymous and these stories could have been entirely fabricated. The only people who made mention to Baba allegedly collecting semen in his handkerchief are the Fundamentalist Christian Tal Brooke (who attributed a story to someone named "Patrick" who has never come forward, in 30 years, to support Brooke's claim) and David Bailey (who never mentioned names or gave specifics). Priddy wants people to be naive and gullible and blindly believe his unsubstantiated and unverifiable claims. Priddy is once again spreading his perversions of the truth without providing a scintilla of evidence to back up his self-created sexual scenarios that he projects on to Sathya Sai Baba.

FLUFF - Suffer The Children Unto Sai Baba
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/sufferthechildren.html
Comment: Once again, Anti-Sai Activists continue to promote and advertise Sanjay Dadlani (the confirmed misogynist, racist, mentally disturbed Jesus fetishist who was caught, with his pants down, secretly taking pictures up women's dresses and under tables and posting them on his private Street Bitches blog). This proves that Anti-Sai Activist's entire stand on "morality", "truth" and "righteousness" is one huge pretense.

It is very strange that Anti-Sai Activists try to defend alleged victims of sexual molestation, yet (at the same time) publicly promote a person who is a pathological liar, is a racist against black people, has a boot sex fetish, has a Jesus sex fetish (no kidding), has Satanic inclinations and likes to stalk innocent teenagers, mothers and students and treat them as objects of sexual exploitation. This is exactly what Anti-Sai Activists are doing. This once again makes the case that Anti-Sai Activists are mob of negatively obsessed individuals who thrive on hate to further their smear campaign against Sathya Sai Baba at any cost. Anti-Sai Activists are waging a losing & lonely battle against Sai Baba and their actions prove that they are utterly frustrated and hopelessly desperate.

At the beginning of this year, on my Propaganda Page, I predicted that Anti-Sai Activists would start duplicating blog posts in a desperate attempt to boost their pathetic decline to Anti-Sai articles. This prediction has come true. Click Here to view my blog exposing Sanjay Kishore Dadlani, the Anti-Sai clown promoted by critics of Sai Baba.

FLUFF - Suffer MORE Children Unto Sai Baba
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/suffermorechildren.html
Comment: Another duplication from Sanjay Dadlani's blog. See previous post.

FLUFF - Sai Baba's Internet Ban CONFIRMED!
http://saibabaexposed.blogspot.com/2006/06/sai-babas-internet-ban-confirmed.html
Comment: Another duplication from Sanjay Dadlani's blog. See 2 previous posts.

Sanjay poorly attempted to make the argument that Sathya Sai Baba "banned" his devotees from using the internet. Of course, this claim is absurd. The quote, "Swami has nothing to do with internet. Not only now, even in future also you should not indulge in such wrong activities", said nothing about devotees being banned from using the internet. Click Here to read the original discourse (PDF file). If read in the proper context, SSB said that one should not indulge in the wrong activities of "gossip", "mean talk" and "worthless talk". Anti-Sai Activists incorrectly surmised that SSB said his devotees should not use the internet. SSB never said that. As a matter of fact, the Sathya Sai Organization has no less than 6 official websites. If SSB truly banned or prohibited his devotees from using the internet, why would SSB allow his devotees to create these official websites that are specifically put on the internet for his devotees to read?

FLUFF - Sathya Sai Baba Promotes Primitive Beliefs in Black Magic/Witchcraft
http://home.chello.no/~reirob/witch/index.htm
Comment: Robert Priddy wrote an article claiming that Sathya Sai Baba is "one of those many ignorami who sustain and spread false beliefs about the powers of black magicians and witches". Apparently, Robert Priddy was also "one of those many ignorami who sustained and spread false beliefs about black magicians and witches" because he was an ardent follower and practitioner of Sathya Sai Baba's teachings for 17 long years! Priddy claimed to have studied Baba's teaching in such depth that he compiled an index (over the course of many years) entitled "Back to the Source" that contained Eighteen Thousand "separately-detailed entries" to Baba's teachings. So if Sathya Sai Baba is an ignorant person who spreads primitive beliefs in black magic and witches, this does not reflect well for Priddy's intelligence and mental state when he was a former devotee of Sathya Sai Baba for 17 years!

Priddy cited several sources about black magic and witches, that had absolutely nothing to do with Sathya Sai Baba, to make his case against black magic and witch belief in India.

Ironically enough, although Robert Priddy silently endorses Sanjay Dadlani (a Gaudiya Vaishnava Hare Krishna wannabee), Priddy indirectly and thoroughly bashed Sanjay's belief in scriptures that happen to promote "false beliefs about the powers of black magicians and witches"! Robert Priddy indirectly called Sanjay Dadlani's Guru, Srila Prabhupada, and the MahaBhagavata, Sukadev Goswami, "ignorami" (both discuss black magic as if it is real)! Furthermore, Priddy bashed Sanjay's scriptures (Srimad Bhagavatam and the Bhagavad Gita As It Is) as "spreading false beliefs about black magicians and witches"! Funny how Anti-Sai Activists take such a variegated stance against Sathya Sai Baba that they end up bashing each other in the process and appear very foolish and clumsy as well.

Click Here To Read My Full Blog Entry Regarding This Article

Update: June 13th 2006: Today I perused my archived copy of Robert Priddy's index "Back To The Source" and discovered that Priddy actually made reference to black magic, demons, evil and magic (meaning that while Priddy was a devotee of Sathya Sai Baba, he was fully aware of of these teachings and thought they were worthy of being referenced)! The extractions read as follows:

  • Magic, miracle outwardly & leela inwardly 100 S2 18-91 S2

Right out of Priddy's own mouth when he was a devotee and among the "ignorami who sustain and spread false beliefs about the powers of black magicians and witches"!

Click Here to read an article written by Robert Priddy in which he sustains and spreads false beliefs about "elves, fairies, leprechauns, gnomes, trolls, water spirits, animal and plant spirits or 'devas' , angels, invisible helpers', shaman 'spirits', 'allies' , UFOs, extra-terrestrials, possessive demons, Satan, Pan-figures and other demi-gods"! Robert Priddy is a deeply conflicted person who not only criticizes others for their beliefs, but attempts (very hard) to suppress information about his beliefs that would include him among the ranks of "ignorami" who sustain and spread false beliefs in superstitious phenomena (even believing that a lizard and butterfly were supernatural manifestations of elemental spirits).

FLUFF - Update on Robert Priddy's article on 'Elementals'
http://home.no.net/anir/Sai/enigma/Elementals%20&%20beliefs.htm
Comment: After publishing my previous response above, Robert Priddy rushed to do damage control by updating his article on elementals in which he professed a belief in "elves, fairies, leprechauns, gnomes, trolls, water spirits, animal and plant spirits or 'devas' , angels, invisible helpers', shaman 'spirits', 'allies' , UFOs, extra-terrestrials, possessive demons, Satan, Pan-figures and other demi-gods". Despite his retraction in believing in elementals, Priddy equivocally stated: "The existence of 'elementals' is still highly hypothetical and - in the light of the on-going research facilitated by massive advances in computing power and consequent depth of neurological research. I am not inclined entirely to reject the 'elementals' hypothesis, seeing that I do not assert that I can know sufficiently things which so far are not entirely researched." Therefore, Priddy's retraction was a tongue-in-cheek response that speaks volumes for his gullibility when he advocated for and believed in "elves, fairies, leprechauns, gnomes, trolls, water spirits, animal and plant spirits or 'devas' , angels, invisible helpers', shaman 'spirits', 'allies' , UFOs, extra-terrestrials, possessive demons, Satan, Pan-figures and other demi-gods" since 1988!

FLUFF - Lesson 2: God: A primer
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/godaprimer.html
http://www.suite101.com/course/print_lesson.cfm/19320/2954/3
Comment: The Exbaba site duplicated an article published on suite101.com by Nikesh Murali (a member of the Atheist foundation of Australia and the Humanist Society of Queensland). This cut and paste proves how Anti-Sai Activists love to regurgitate the same outdated cud over and over again. On the SuiteU Alumni Newsletter December 2004, there is a link to this article by Nikesh Murali (meaning that the article was written prior to December 2004). Anti-Sai Activists are so desperate for negative information against Sathya Sai Baba, they are re-publishing old information and trying to pass it off as something new. What is even more amusing is how most of the information on Nikesh's article was originally published (verbatim) in 2000 by Babu R.R. Gogineni (an atheist and rationalist) on the uni-giessen.de site. Gogineni's article was subsequently used in a publication on the dci.dk site and Nikesh copied from that page verbatim. So the information on Nikesh's article comes from sources dating back to 2000. Just more proof exposing how skeptics love to re-hash the same old information, over and over again, in a pathetic attempt to wage their smear campaigns against Sathya Sai Baba.

Nikesh's article talked about an alleged "faked" necklace materialization by Sathya Sai Baba. Click Here to read about how Erlendur Haraldsson carried out a thorough analysis on the videotape and found NO firm evidence of fraud. There is a reference to Piet Vroon (an atheist who was so psychologically unstable, he committed suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills). There is a claim that an exposed fraud named "Sai Krishna" was Sathya Sai Baba's "protégé". There is no evidence to support this claim and Baba refuted this claim (in the Blitz interview) by publicly stating he had no association with the exposed fraud who was using his name to make money. There is also mention to an alleged stolen kidney incident from the Super Specialty Hospital. Click Here (scroll down to section entitled "Kidney Robbery in SSS Super Specialty Hospital") to read my comments regarding this issue and the many problems with the story.

FLUFF - The cult quality: Will you become a Satya Sai Baba devotee?
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/sikh.html
Comment: Once again (as in the previous post) Anti-Sai Activists are desperately scouring the internet for negative information against Sathya Sai Baba. This time around, Anti-Sai Activists found an article dating back to August of 2002 (whose original, unnamed source dates back to October of 1999). Strangely enough, this article only mentions Sathya Sai Baba's name once (suggesting that the article never mentioned Sathya Sai Baba's name, although the forum topic did). The text to this forum post was allegedly duplicated from an unnamed "Health and Nutrition magazine" (dated October 1999) that simply discussed charismatic cult leaders (never referring to Sathya Sai Baba by name) and advice for those who are leaving a cult and are in transition.

FLUFF - Is quack devotee Shashi Tharoor fit for top UN job?
http://www.indiadaily.org/entry/is-quack-devotee-shashi-tharoor-fit-for-top-un-job/
Comment: Don't be deceived by the fancy layout on this site. It is a blog where anyone can submit an Anti-Sai article of his/her choice. In this instance, this article was duplicated from Sanjay Dadlani's blog. The person who published this article, against Sathya Sai Baba, is anonymous and hides behind the pseudonym "Jonty" (formerly calling himself "Colourz"). I discovered, in a round-about way that "Jonty" is a man by the name "Jayanta Bhattacharya".

Jonty is an Anti-Sai Activist who deleted some of my former posts from another blog entry of his (for reasons he alone knows). Jonty even told me, in a private email, that "We do appreciate freedom of speech and respect different opinions and have always encouraged what you termed as 'two-way and sincere interface with the public'. In fact, that is the main objective of India Daily." How short-lived were his words.

It is also amusing to note that although Sanjay is quick to point out the stance of Rationalists against Sashi Tharoor, Sanjay is mute about these same Rationalists stance against his Hare Krsna and Gaudiya Vaishnava beliefs (which are mocked at by Indian Rationalists in no uncertain terms)!

FLUFF - Conny Larsson's talk on Cults at the FECRIS Conference, Brussels
http://www.saibabaexpose.com/fecris.htm
Comment: Click Here to view my articles about Conny Larsson. The following claims, made by Conny Larsson, prove that Conny is a deeply disturbed individual who will shamelessly resort to blatant lies to smear Sathya Sai Baba's name. Conny claimed, with no proof or evidence, that:

  1. The Sai Org is a "money laundering machine".
  2. "From day one it organised a paedophile ring trafficking people back and forth i.e. young Indian boys are sent to America and American coloured men from ghettoes in New York etc. are sent to the Indian fellows and mostly to the Ashram."
  3. "The Ashram itself today, receives from 10 000 to 1 000 000 people. There is continual trafficking in people that arrive by plane. There is a new airport which has been built."

One will notice that these claims are new. Never before has Conny claimed that Sathya Sai Baba or the Sai Org ran/runs a pedophile ring or a people trafficking ring! Where is the proof? There is no proof! Conny Larsson is a mentally disturbed person (admittedly) who is a pathological liar who supports and promotes other pathological liars and deviant perverts like Sanjay Kishore Dadlani. Conny is obviously doing what he does best: Embellish. One can't help to notice that Conny's claims and allegations against Sathya Sai Baba are getting more and more extreme and desperate. This leaves one with the distinct impression that Conny is totally unreliable, dishonest and deceitful.

Conny claimed he knows everything that goes on in the Sai Org. After making this claim, Conny stated (matter-of-factly) that Isaac Tigrett donated $108 million dollars to build the Super Specialty Hospital. In actuality, Tigrett donated $20 million dollars. Why did Conny Larsson embellish the donation amount made by Tigrett five-fold? Conny also implied that the Super Specialty Hospital is stealing organs from poor Indians. Where is the proof? Don't ask Conny. He doesn't know.

Then Conny rambled on about the Unesco withdrawal. Conny failed to mention the fact that Anti-Sai Activists have been attacking Unesco since February of 2005! Click Here to read the real story behind the Unesco Withdrawal. Why did Conny Larsson leave out this relevant information?

Finally, to top off Conny's over-emotional ranting and raving, he claimed that he fears so much for his life that he moved to Cyprus. Nothing like publicly tipping off potential felons as to one's new place of residence! They don't come much nuttier than Conny Larsson.

FLUFF - Yet more Sai Baba believers and donors commit suicide
http://www.chennaionline.com/colnews/newsitem.asp?NEWSID=
{E9078EB5-5AB2-4320-90F1-4BAA3FEB9FFA}&CATEGORYNAME=Chennai
Comment: This story is about 2 people in India who committed suicide and handed over their house and property to the "Sai Baba Trust, Bangalore". This newspaper article does not specifically mention Sathya Sai Baba's name. It is well known that the Sathya Sai Central Trust is located in Puttaparthi, Andrah Pradesh. Not Bangalore, Karnataka (which is in a separate state). However, it is entirely possible that the "Sai Baba" referred to in the article is Shirdi Sai Baba. There happens to be a Shirdi Sai Baba "Sri Akshaya Sai Religious and Charitable Trust" in Bangalore, India.

It is perplexing how Anti-Sai Activists continually point out the deaths of people who may be associated with Sathya Sai Baba and attribute something sinister to Baba because of their deaths. Apparently, no Baba devotee is ever supposed to die or have any ill befall them or it is Baba's fault. Since the Exbaba site is run by Christians, are they willing to adhere to the same logic in relation to Jesus Christ? One never sees Christians condemning Jesus because his followers commit suicide, are murdered or have ills befall them. The USA is a predominantly Christian country and there are literally tens of thousands of suicides per year (meaning that most are Christians). Using the logic employed by the ExBaba admin, there is something sinister about Jesus Christ because there are literally millions of Christians who have ills befall them, are murdered, succumb to diseases, have accidents befall them, die and commit suicide. This type of logic (illogic) is absurd.

FLUFF - Visit Sedna, a new blog about godmen
http://sedna-vcare.blogspot.com/
Comment: An extremely mediocre Anti-Sai Blog (which has been subsequently deleted) from a person calling herself "Sedna" (aka "Aruna", aka "Ans").
