An Example of Sai Baba's Example
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex-baba/engels/articles/barrynewton.html
Comment: This is a letter from Barry Newton who is a reborn fundamentalist Christian who believes that Sathya Sai Baba is the Anti-Christ. Consequently, his comments are not impartial and cannot be believed, nor do I believe them.

The paradisal parody at 'the Abode of Supreme Peace'
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex-baba/engels/articles/parody.html
Comment: Robert Priddy said:
"To make it seem meaningful, most devotees who get no attention – including ca. 95% of the women – , have to rack their brains to make something positive out of it all, and find something in his chance movements or the like that could somehow apply to them personally."
Of course, this pertains directly to what Robert Priddy experienced when he was a devotee of Sathya Sai Baba for 18 years. His book, Source of the Dream, confirmed it.

Some reactions of a former devotee on SB's discourse July 2002
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex-baba/engels/articles/reidun.html
Comment: Reidun Priddy gave her opinions about Sathya Sai Baba and shared many of her husband's conspiracy theories and disagreements about Baba's teachings. Better late (in this instance, 18 years late) than never, I guess.
Selfless Service Cannot Be Monopolized
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex-baba/engels/articles/service.html
Comment: Serguei Badaev poorly attempted to argue that Sathya Sai Baba is somehow monopolizing selfless service and cited the story of Dr. Reddy, who donated $250,000 to charitable causes. Of course, this pales in comparison to Sathya Sai Baba's tens of millions of dollars spent for free hospital care and drinking water projects. Nevertheless, Serguei thinks that Dr. Reddy should be given credit and Sathya Sai Baba should not! It is true than many people dispense valuable service to the poor and the afflicted. Sathya Sai Baba preaches that this is the kind of behavior that pleases him most. Sathya Sai Baba practices what he preaches and is renown for his charitable ventures.
Unity of thought, word and deed?
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex-baba/engels/articles/unity.html
Comment: Robert Priddy said:
" Part of our mind is voluntary, in that the human will has its internal moments of truth and conscience whereby we can choose between desires, between which thoughts to entertain or forget and which actions to carry out. Therefore, unity of thought, word and deed is a necessary condition of thinking, being and doing good. But it is not a sufficient condition, because we can also choose to think, speak and act wrongly. If the heart entertains bad thoughts and wishes wrong - this may eventually come to expression in words or actions too. This is also unity of thought, word and deed… but it is not the right kind of deed. From all such choices, the rest of our individual characters eventually follows."
Now, Click Here to read my articles about Robert Priddy and see whether he acts in accordance with what he preaches. He most certainly does not!

Phyllis Krystal visits a Sai Baba group in the Netherlands
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex-baba/engels/shortnews/krystal.html
Comment: Robert Priddy wondered how Phyllis Krystal can maintain her devotion to Sathya Sai Baba despite the allegations. Perhaps because Sathya Sai Baba has never been charged with any crime, sexual or otherwise. Robert Priddy amusingly said, "All the painful, negative feelings and emotions are brought to the surface in order for those involved to be able to deal with such matters and get it transformed into love and light." Obviously, Robert Priddy has lots of painful and negative feelings that have never been transformed into "love and light".
