| Finally, the view of the followers on the guru is identical to the claims made by Baba about himself. They believe that the allegations are just passing clouds that have accompanied the lives of all avatars that are part of the [[leela]]s of his life. Some followers say that the allegations have been made by people who are criminals themselves and try to distract people from that fact by instead accusing Baba of being a criminal. Some followers believe that the allegations that Baba performs acts that can be interpreted as sexually intended are true but that he must have good reasons for them, like helping the young men with sexual problems or to awaken their [[kundalini]]. Tigrett believes the allegations are true but is at a loss to explain them saying that Sai Baba is an enigma. | Finally, the view of the followers on the guru is identical to the claims made by Baba about himself.

| - | Those skeptical of the claims made by ex-devotees, critics and alleged victims of Sathya Sai Baba, continually ask that the "weighty evidence", "amassed proof" and "scores to hundreds of affidavits" be made public or taken to a Court of Law in India. To date, not even one alleged victim has, <tt>first-hand</tt>, filed either a complaint or a court case against the Guru in India. Despite former devotees offering <tt>"world class legal resources"</tt> to alleged victims, '''not even one''' victim has come forward to utilize these resources. This lends credence to the idea that the <tt>"amassed evidence"</tt>, against Sathya Sai Baba, is either lacking or has being willfully misrepresented. | ||
