Burma cyclone and China earthquake – Sai Baba’s views

 

What is Sathya Sai Baba’s view on the huge current natural catastrophes in China and Burma, one may ask?
The answer is to be found in a large number of statements by him on the cause of earthquakes and calamities. Though his translator sometimes calls them ‘natural calamities’, Sai Baba is definitive that they are the result of human actions!  See some quotes here:-

   

Amazingly (to anyone with a smattering of scientific knowledge) he says this specifically of earthquakes and the 2004 tsunami! One should recall that top Indian politicians – PMs and Presidents – worship Sai Baba and thus accept his claim to be the omniscient, omnipotent avatar of Lord Vishnu come to save humanity. Amazing as this may seem since the worldwide exposure since 1999 of his decades of carefully-hidden frauds and many known and demonstrated abuses, they visit him for his blessings and ostensibly to advance his aims.

How can they even remotely quietly condone such ignorance and religious superstition as the claims that ALL natural catastrophes (eg. cyclones, earthquakes and tsunamis) are caused by “spiritual lapses of mankind” the man’s bad conduct?  They cannot worship him and at the same time reject central parts of his doctrine. The fact is, his popularity in Andhra Pradesh, not least among millions of Indian villagers, and the huge wealth he has attracted from abroad are not the only reasons they visit him. Indian PMs and Presidents have knelt before him and protected him from any prosecution. His influence over the judiciary and many prominent Indians is such that politicians do not dare to take him on, as would be only right and proper. See some of the main culprit India bigwigs here.
