India Today advertisement to promote Sathya Sai Baba – a sly move

Published on 2012-02-07 13:37:22

Sathya Sai Baba’s star as the Godhead Incarnate and a pure and perfect omniscient and omnipotent being (also no less than ‘Creator of the Universe’ – see here) has been sinking rapidly in recent decades, for his publications have played down his megalomaniac claims as far as possible and promoting instead the social projects his [...]

Mariana Caplan on grief over guru Sathya Sai Baba

Published on 2012-02-04 09:06:07

It is with good intentions, no doubt, that Mariana Caplan – a psychologist involved with so-called ‘religious spirituality’ wants to contribute to helping people whose teachers die and ease their transition and grief. I must take exception, however, to her assertion that – even if these teachers employed fraud as part of their teaching – [...]

Prashanthi Nilayam: suicide (?) by hanging & an unexplained death

Published on 2012-01-28 07:03:11

The many deaths that have occurred at Sathya Sai Baba ashrams through the years, including murders, suicides and unaccountable accidents, have been covered up to the maximum by the accomplices of ‘the Secret Swami’ himself. Now that he too is dead and gone forever, the suicides certainly continue – possibly murders too, as an attempt [...]

Sathya Sai Baba’s personality

Published on 2012-01-26 09:42:41

It would be interesting if any Sai devotes were able to refute (on any other basis that Sathya Sai Baba’s own claims about himself) that his own words and behaviour throughout his life fit very neatly into the descriptions of a God complex, megalomania, grandiosity, and narcissistic personality disorder. I happen to know the entire [...]

Vinay Rai, Suresh Kait, & Minister Kapil Sibal promote censorious obscurantism

Published on 2012-01-23 16:35:13

The Delhi High Court case against 21 web servers continues.

An excellent and intelligently informed overview of the situation is given [...]
