SATHYA SAI BABA NEWS (With Updates And Comments):
The arrogance of a cult leader
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/shortnews/arrogance.html
Comment: More like, "The arrogance of an anonymous Anti-Sai Activist". Robert Priddy called Pro-Sai Activists "cowardly creatures" when they choose to remain anonymous. However, when Anti-Sai Activists choose to remain anonymous, no on seems to care. This, in layman's terms, is called "hypocrisy". This article also linked to a video of Sathya Sai Baba in which an unnamed Anti-Sai Activist claimed Sathya Sai Baba was faking a materialization. I talked about this video on my Movies Section, video clip 9. Sathya Sai Baba did not materialize anything. Baba was simply telling someone to do something (turn on a fan?) and was making a gesture for them to "turn" something. Sathya Sai Baba reached behind himself to pull out the pillow from underneath him (that he sat on), all the while telling someone to do something. Then Sathya Sai Baba stood up briefly and made another "turning" gesture. The ExBaba website claimed that is when Sathya Sai Baba "fake materialized" an object. Needless to say, if one looks at the faces of the women next to Baba, they are looking to where Baba is speaking, and it is nowhere close to him at all. A perfect example how Anti-Sai Activists attempt to mislead others into thinking they saw something they did not.
Re 'Statement by Alfred Barelds regarding SBS Transmission'

Comment: In this article, the ExBaba website talked about the failure of the Sai Organization to talk about the allegations of sexual abuse. However, when Anti-Sai Activists are questioned about anonymous allegations, contradictory testimonies and deceptive practices regarding their fraudulent online petition, they refuse to discuss these matters. Funny enough, both Robert Priddy and Randi Godager told me I was banned from their server when I challenged them regarding the dishonest practices used on SaiPetition.net.
The dilemmas of the Sai Baba movement in Malaysia studied
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/shortnews/dilemmas.html
Comment: This provides a summary, instead of the actual doctoral dissertation.
Excellent neutral info about Sai Baba added on sciencedaily.com
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/shortnews/sciencedaily.html
Comment: This shows how deceitful and dishonest the ExBaba website truly is. They provided two links they claimed are "neutral" sources about Sathya Sai Baba. What the ExBaba admin did not divulge is that Wikipedia is not a "neutral souce" (especially when critics have dictating content on it for years). The Wikipedia article for Sathya Sai Baba claimed that he was indicted for murders! Bold-faced lies! Wikipedia can be edited by anyone. Anyone can click "edit" and say anything they choose to, truthful or untruthful. This hardly qualifies as a "neutral" source. The same applies to the sciencedaily encyclopedia link which is a Wikipedia mirror. This exposes the mentality of Anti-Sai Activists and their idea of "neutrality".

Now a broken arm too, disproving his assurance he would be allright?
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/shortnews/brokenarm.html
Comment: Sathya Sai Baba did not break his arm. Apparently he fell and hurt his arm. It was not broken. More lies from Anti-Sai's.
The wasteful, failed Sai Water Project
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/shortnews/wasteful.html
Comment: Robert Priddy quoted an article from the Andhra Pradesh Regional News Network in 1998. That's it. If Sathya Sai Baba's water project truly failed, why is it that Priddy can quote only one article from 6 years ago when there are numerous news articles that talk about the water project's success? In his ever-so-inaccurate ways, Robert Priddy got the article date wrong, saying the article was published in 1996. Actually, the article was published in 1998. The copyright for the Deccan Chronicle is 1996. Although today is November 24th 2004, Robert Priddy claimed to have written the article on May 15th 2005. How can anyone believe all this rubbish?
Dreams involving Sathya Sai Baba
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/dreams.html
Comment: This is another amusing article by Robert Priddy. Once again, Robert Priddy referred to anonymous people. However, when anyone writes to Priddy (not using their full name) he calls them "cowardly creatures". Robert Priddy desperately tried to make something out of nothing. Everyone has nightmares. Yes, even nightmares about Jesus, Buddha, Sai Baba, Siva, Kali, etc. Despite Robert Priddy attributing these "dream visions" to mental illnesses (in some countries), he then proceeds to tell us about his very own "dream visions" (thus confirming, in some countries, his mental illness)! Robert Priddy also talked about publicizing the 1993 "murders". Of course, it is a well known fact that, despite researching the murders for over 3 years, Robert Priddy could not even get the newspaper articles correct. Click Here to view my page about Robert Priddy and the "1993 murders". Again, Robert Priddy dated this article in 2005, despite the current year being 2004.
Dr Manmohan Singh is India's new Prime Minister
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/barrysingh.html
Comment: Barry Pittard wrote a critique and wanted to know why the references were so old. Funny enough, Barry Pittard doesn't care about the "old" references used against Sai Baba.
Official Confirmation from the SSO: SSB is Not the Divine Avatar of the Age.
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/shortnews/notdevine.html
Comment: Another gross oversimplification by Brian Steel. Just because the article does not make certain points, Brian Steel filled in the gaps with his speculations. Let us use the same logic with Brian Steel. Since Brian Steel didn't mention anything about writing an online book about Sathya Sai Baba in his article, this must mean that he never wrote one. Why? Because there was no mentions to the online book in the article. This type of logic is illogical, absurd and just plain ridiculous.
Sathya Sai Baba's 'inappropriate sexual behaviour' confirmed by U.S. Officialdom
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/letters/glentoall.html
Comment: Here, Glen Meloy is caught in a bold faced lie. Glen Meloy said that Sathya Sai Baba was "confirmed" to have indulged in inappropriate sexual behavior. This statement is wholly false. The U.S. State Dept Travel Advisory For India specifically stated that the reports of inappropriate sexual behavior were "unconfirmed". Also, Glen Meloy boasted that the travel advisory was accomplished by the unremitting efforts of Anti-Sai Activists. This article shows how Glen Meloy purposely lied about Sathya Sai Baba.
The Sathya Sai Organisation's basic systematic deceit
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/shortnews/deceit.html
Comment: That Robert Priddy is criticizing Sathya Sai Baba for "deceit" is amusing.
