Sai Baba Sex Abuse Testimony

My Former Association with and Current Position on Sathya Sai Baba by Barry Pittard  Sathya Sai Baba is India’s most famous religious leader. He proclaims himself to be the Poornavatar or God in all fullness of Divine Power come to save the whole world, essentially within his own lifetime. He says that his powers are far greater than those of Sri Rama and Sri Krishna or any previous manifestation of divinity. However, his former devotee accusers say that whatever extraordinary abilities he possesses (or possessed), and fine social and spiritual uplift work that he has inspired others to do, many boys and young men have not been safe with him sexually. We who accuse him point out that he abuses the great trust put in him by many millions of people around the world and does so with uncannily brilliant deviousness. Our call for the accountability of a seemingly unassailable, vastly popular figure and his extremely well organized, private, undemocratic, powerful, influential and secre

Dr. Naresh Bhatia, who for six years was the head of the blood bank of the Sai Super Speciality hospital, is quoted in The Findings, by the UK exposé writer, David Bailey: "Three young students from Sai Baba's junior male college were called for interview. One of them, a seven year old boy student, came out of the interview room crying. He continued to cry for two days, and was unable to eat or study. That evening Dr Bhatia, on duty in the children's canteen, was asked to find the cause of the child's distress. He questioned and then examined the child, and found that he had been sexually penetrated, via his anus. The child was taken to Bangalore and re-examined. A second medical opinion confirmed sexual abuse. Dr Bhatia had been involved in sexual activity with Sai Baba for six years, believing that he was serving divinity. He went to Sai Baba: "Why do you do this to such a young child when you have all of us adults and the older students to play with?"

                               In his book 'Miracles are My Visiting Cards' in which he investigates various aspects of Sathya Sai Baba's life and works, Professor Erlendur Haraldsson interviewed several persons who gave accounts which conflict with the 'accepted wisdom' of Sai Baba followers and the 'official' propaganda spread by his organization and media outlets. Among these are recorded interviews with a witness were some with a Mr.Varuda in Madras in the mid-1970s, who had been a close friend of Krishna Kumar. He told that Sai Baba had openly called Kumar his 'soul brother',until in 1952, when he left Baba after years as his closest companions, not least because he was unfairly accused by Baba of having an affair with a 60-years old woman. Varuda knew Krishna Kumar well between May 1949 and 1953. Here is Varuda's account of Krishna's break with Sai Baba in Haraldsson's book (p. 164ff).  Here is Varuda's account of Krishna'

scanned excerpt from the official journal of Sai Baba ('The Eternal Charioteer') Sathya Sai Baba always had young boys sleeping in his bedroom, a fact known to all Indian residents of the ashram. Many knew that he had sexual relations with them, but dared never to speak out because the consequences were seen when four devotees were murdered by the police in Baba's bedroom and their families and contacts were expelled immediately.

Alaya Rahm's Lawsuit vs Sathya Sai Society of America (Joint Statement by the International JuST Group and the Rahm family) Date: July 16, 2006 At considerable personal sacrifice to himself and family, Alaya Rahm, 27, filed a civil lawsuit against California leaders of the Sathya Sai Society of America, who include the world chairman of Sathya Sai Baba’s organization, Dr Michael Goldstein. The case was heard by Judge John M. Watson of the Superior Court, County of Orange, California, on April 28th, 2006. Substantive evidence was about to be called in court to support Alaya Rahm’s case, for which the Judge had allotted five weeks. However, his attorney, William Brelsford Esq., seeing formidable legal obstacles set by the defendants, and also working against a statute of limitations deadline, advised Alaya Rahm to self-dismiss the case. Along with other difficulties encountered, his attorney has explained, June 29th, 2006, to Alaya Rahm and his family: “We were succes

THE EDUCATION & VALUES CONFERENCE AT PRASHANTHI NILAYAM, 2000 Here are copies of the UNESCO MEDIA ADVISORY on their withdrawal and the reasons for it: - http://web.archive.org/web/20031003020809/http://www.unesco.org/education/highlights/media_advisory.htm RUSSIAN EDUCATION IN HUMAN VALUES LEADER SERGEI BADAEV'S REPORT In 2000 the Sathya Sai Baba Organization and ashram made much hullabaloo about how UNESCO and Sathya Sai Baba were to co-ordinate an educational conference at Prashanthi Nilayam. However, the notices shown at the foot of this page were posted on UNESCO’s official website. These notices of withdrawal remained there for some years until the Indian government was begged by Sai Baba officials to take up the matter with UNESCO and demand its removal (see scan below). The prime mover in this action was leader of Sai Baba’s propaganda machine – the former atom-bomb involved Dr. G. Venkataraman (a full believer in Sathya Sai Baba's absurd claim tha

The text referring to Sathya Sai Baba in the Consular Sheet):- "U.S. citizens should be aware that there have been reports of inappropriate sexual behavior by a prominent local religious leader at an ashram or religious retreat located in Andhra Pradesh. Most of the reports indicate that the subjects of these approaches have been young male devotees, including a number of U.S. citizens. Although these reports are unconfirmed, U.S. citizens should be aware of this information and contact the U.S. Consulate General in Chennai for further information." Sathya Sai Baba cult defenders ran a massive disinformation and cover-up campaign which tried to distort key facts about the US State Department DIRECT warning about Sathya Sai Baba. They claimed that the State Department did not directly name Sai Baba - but this is not true, as was confirmed to the BBC presenter, Tanya Datta, in the 1 hour doc
