Sai Baba

Sathya Sai Baba (born in 1926 as Sathyanarayana Raju Ratnakaram ) is Indian guru. He is described by his followers as a miracle worker and a spiritual teacher, but all this is very questionable. He proclaims himself to be an Avatar, what means a divine incarnation sent to Earth. We know from the Bible that Jesus Christ is one and only Incarnation of God on Earth.

According to his followers, his birth is supposed to me miraculous. His mother Easwaramma was walking one day when a huge sphere of blue light rolled towards her and made her faint. She was dreaming of a Hindu god Sathyanarayana and then found out that she was pregnant. This is just a fairytale which should convince his followers that he is exceptional, but he is just an ordinary man. When he was in elementary school, he once started behaving strangely "as if a scorpion had stung in his foot" and afterwards fell into a coma. It is interesting that such events have very "profound" meaning among his followers, but my opinion is that occult forces produced this state. Few months later he proclaimed himself to be the incarnation of Sai Baba of Sirdhi and because of that he took his name. Later he proclaimed peace with sentences like: "Love All, Serve All" and "help ever, hurt never."

In 1944 he built a small temple near his village, and in 1948 he started to build a shrine Prashanthi Nilayam, for those that have devotion to him. He also built a University with three Campuses and two Hospitals.

On 6 June 1993 six people were killed in this shrine. The "official version" of this event was that four of Sai Baba's devotees who were living in this shrine, went to his residence with knives. They were stopped by four Sai Baba attendants before they came to his room. There was struggling and two of his attendants were killed. Sai Baba escaped through a back stairway and raised the alarm. The assailants ran and locked themselves up in sai baba's bedroom. These people were found dead later. The police report stated that they attacked the police with knives when they entered the room.

The Central Investigation Department stated that the police report was full of lies and inconsistencies. Others, including V.P.B. Nair (Former Secretary to the Home Minister of Andhra Pradesh), Sanal Edamaruku and Basava Premanand claim that these people were deliberately shot and that political influence of Sai Baba kept the investigation from proceeding.

Conny Larsson used to be a close devotee of Sai Baba for 21 years and Leader of the Swedish Sai Baba organization. He broke away from the movement, later , outraged on witnessing the Baba's behavior of a sexual nature with a young boy and then the boy's own mother who was waiting outside being deceived by a sleight-of-hand "materialization". On his website he describes what really happened in Prashanthi Nilayam. All 6 students were deliberately murdered by the police. They were displaced later to back up the story that four of them attacked Sai Baba, and two of them died defending him. That is a lie. All 6 students were his devotees and they were coming from families that were engaged in selling Sai Baba pictures, rings and other things. There was disagreement between various families in Puttaparthi because some families had certain advantages. That was the reason that they intruded on Sai Baba. All of these student knew that Sai Baba was sexually abusing children so they had something to blackmail him with. That is what made Sai Baba angry and he locked them in his bedroom and called the police.
