Hi everyone ! Firstly, I doubt the credibility of people who have spoken in opposition to Sai Baba. The fact that they are researchers (like Robert Preddy) does not make them "intelligent" speakers in the world of Tantra and divinity. Many of us live in Western countries, and we have seen how racism is deeply enrooted in the minds of some people over here. Just like racists, there are some fundamentalists, who think that if you are not a Christian, you will go to hell. Westerns are trying to take over the world in two ways: i) by using power (military tactics), ii) by changing the beliefs, thoughts of people in the world. For instance, baptizing. Lets ponder over the work of Christian churches in Asian countries like Nepal. In my father's office, I met many people who got themselves baptized for the sake of money. Christians are traveling all over the world, especially in those parts where people are uneducated, poor and ignorant. They baptize people to make a "Christian world". These kind of churches and organizations receive billions of dollars as donations, and are very powerful. When these people working over Asian countries see that an Indian Sai baba has millions of devotees not only in his region, but also in the West, they see that Christianity is on stake. Not only they are unable to baptize those people in Sai baba's region, but hundreds of thousands of their own "Western" people are being baba's devotees, and donating for Sai organizations. By observing the number of Sai centers growing all around the world, from America to Mexico to Africa, they feel as if a tumor is growing in their minds. So they provide millions of funding for anti Sai views. As a result, some people come up with books like "The Fall of the Sathya Sai baba". These fundamentalist anti-Sai organizations have millions of dollars in cash flow, and can easily attract even those people who have some faith in Sai baba, but also think what he is doing is just black magic, especially when they see some people in media imitating Vibhuti materialization and things like that. So, these anti-Sai "stories" are sponsored by those who think their their religion and popularity is on stake, because of Sai baba. These sponsors are smart people with a huge back-up funding. They know how to create chaos in the minds of people, even those that are believers of baba. 90% percent of the mob just goes on with the ideas that are given them. They don't do their own research and evaluation; but, just come up with some conclusion which the media is presenting to them. So, fellow people in the world see some reports in internet, and conclude that Sai baba is a molester. I am not here to force you into believing that Sai bab is a positive or negative force, but I am here to request you to do your own research, and try to see what baba is. Do not be carried by some trivial and fake opinion (which has been organized by someone to make you believe that) of some Westerner. Think about it. There is a lot more politics going on in religion, than you have ever thought of. Your postings in Sajha just makes me sad to acknowledge that many of you have been a successful target of some fundamentalists in the world, who think that only their religion and beliefs are supreme. Moreover, to say if Sai baba is a God or not, you have to understand what God is. This might be the biggest puzzle in the world even for Stephen Hawkins. So, I don't blame you for stating any comments about his divinity. Far from physics, to understand if baba is god or not, remember those dreams in which baba came to you in his real form and guided you in those moments of your life, when you were in dark. illusioned about which path to take in life. Remember those moments in life when you were deeply troubled and baba came to u, assured you, inspired u, and finally lead you to victory. I have enough experiences in life to assure my heart that he is a divine being, spreading his message of "love and truth" to make the word more beautiful, more divine, more peaceful, ,,,where my heart can sing the song of eternal love and peace.
