BEWARE of Sathya Sai Baba: 3. My Personal Story - Part 1
Ashok Krishnamurthy
My dear friends,
This is the last of the postings on Sathya Sai Baba wherein I have
detailed my personal experiences and why I have ceased to follow him.
The previous posting on occultism drew a lot of comments in the form of
personal e-mail. That was good because I did not read a single follow-up
posting in the groups due to lack of time. Many felt that my charges
were unsubstantiated; some felt that the modus operandi of the Sai Baba
group was not properly spelt out.
I would like to say that all the methods outlined in the posting are
being used by the Sathya Sai Baba group. I will give personal examples
to substantiate the same. Of course, the advanced powers such as
dematerializing the body, having multiple bodies at the same instant of
time - no one in that group possesses such powers. Hope that answers all
the questions regarding the previous posting. For this posting also,
please send me personal e-mail.
---------------
In 1968/1969, ( I was 7/8 years old at that time) we were living in a
place called Ambattur, a suburb of Madras which is a city in Southern
India. At that time, there were only two devotees of Sathya Sai Baba in
our colony. The first ever in our colony was (the late) Mr. Surya Prasad
who was originally from Karnataka, a state in India. When he migrated to
Ambattur, he influenced one (late) Mr. V.Naidu to become a Sai Baba
devotee. These two people used to hold Bhajans in their house on
Thursday and Sunday evenings. Mr. V. Naidu (and Mr. Surya Prasad) roped
in my father as a devotee. They had come to know that my father was
interested in music and that he could play the Ghatam, a percussion
instrument.
-----------
The Sai Baba guys are experts at getting little personal details. Be
careful when you are around a Sai Baba devotee - not all of them spies
but the good people in the organization (80 % of them are good and
sincere and they give the organization a good image) unknowingly pass on
the details to the spies and that is how he comes to know so much about
you, which is supplemented by some mind-reading.
-----------
They told him - you do not have to believe in Sathya Sai Baba, just come
and play the Ghatam for our Bhajan songs. My father went first and then
after one or two weeks, he asked us to come too - my mother, younger
sister and myself. That is how we became devotees. And that was the
beginning of all our troubles; only we did not realize it then - even
now, I am the only one in my family who has realized it.
We visited Puttaparthi, in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India, the HQ
of the Sathya Sai Baba group, courtesy Mr. Surya Prasad. My mother had
her periods after we landed at Puttaparthi. In India, we are
taught to keep away from ladies during their periods right from a very
young age. During that period, the ladies are asked to keep away from
temples, religious functions, etc. So my mother refused to come for
"Darshan" (to see Sai Baba). She explained to some lady members of the
group why she could not come. She was sitting behind a tree, away from
the crowd, when Sathya Sai Baba walked up to her and said "I know why you
have kept away from Darshan - I do not think that periods should keep you
away from Darshan." My mother's faith in Sai Baba was strengthened by
this - wasn't he a God to know even the intimate details of a human
being? She still keeps quoting this incident.
---------
In retrospect, I realized that this was a simple case of spying.
Obviously, many ladies in our group knew about this, and one or two
had informed Sai Baba through his agents. Incidentally, he and his agents
get info. about the same person through various sources. In many cases,
they employ human shadows or spirits and jinns (will tell you about this
later in my case, especially during 1985-present) to get info. and pass
it on. The final message to Sai Baba at his HQ or wherever he is, is
usually passed on by telepathy by agents who are close to him
physically. Brahmins are the targets of this group for destruction and
hence they are especially spied upon. We are Brahmins.
---------
Things had been going on well for us until then. Suddenly, in April,
1969, my father decided to quit his job and start his own business; he
also decided to migrate to Bangalore, another city in Southern India. My
mother pleaded with him not to do that as he had been working in this
company for a long time and was well-respected and known. She also felt,
correctly too as it turned out, that he was not cut out for business. My
father would not listen; and in spite of my mother's remonstrances,
decided to leave Madras during an inauspicious period. We suffered
terribly for the next three years.
---------
In retrospect, I realized that this was not fate! The more we believed
in Sai Baba the more lousy our decision-making process. For example,
there was no rhyme nor reason for my father's action - absolutely an
idiotic move. I believe that evil spirits entered our lives at that time
and attacked the most vulnerable person in our family - my father. The
food we were taking as Prasadam after the Sai Baba Bhajans and
festivities, etc. were influencing us Brahmins in a negative way. Some
evil agents of Sai Baba had quietly come into Ambattur once there was a
following for Sai Baba there and were doing their best to cause people
trouble, secretly and in an occult manner.
To be continued....
