Satya Sai Baba Is Ill: Time To Bury The Lie?

SATYA Sai Baba, 84, is ill. In Puttaparthi, in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, some of the swami’s 30 million devotees are outside the hospital. Within the hospital, Baba is experiencing breathing problems. Will he be ok? Or are his airways blocked by large golden egg?

Baba claims to be the reincarnation of a 19th Century Hindu godman. He is a self-declared living god, an Avatar.

He is a bringer of “miracles”.

Not everyone has been convinced of Baba’s veracity. “Guru-buste” Basava Premanand said in 2004:

“Sai Baba is nothing but a mafia man, conning the people and making himself rich.”

And he might be a sexual deviant, as is alleged. Says a former devotee:

He took me aside“, said Alaya Rahm, “put the oil on his hands, told me to drop my pants and rubbed my genitals with the oil. I was really taken aback.”
