Sathya Sai Baba teaching on sexuality

Held by devotees and himself to be The Universal Teacher supreme, Sathya Sai Baba avoids giving any teaching on sexual issues or related problems like HIV and AIDS. This is a remarkable and most revealing fact, that he has never discoursed on human sexuality other than in a few words to preach chastity for youth and even praising this as best for all even within marriage! He has nothing constructive to say about the huge problem of sexually-transmitted diseases in India or elsewhere other than avoidance of sexual behaviour. Note that homosexuality is a totally taboo subject for him! See for example this stringent demand, which is totally unrealistic in its monastic repressionism, in the quotation scanned from his journal on the right here:-

Why is sexuality such a taboo for Sathya Sai Baba? The sexual impulse is so fundamental to human life and the sexual drive is the source of so many personal, social and power problems in the world, that any teacher of spirituality worth his salt would give instruction on the complex issues involved.

The extremely puritanical ideals Sai Baba holds up are almost totally alien and unworkable in the modern world, and no less in India. There is nothing ‘spiritual’ about avoiding the issues connected with sexuality. This ‘Divine Know-all’ dare not talk about subjects like condoms, prostitution, AIDS and especially not homosexuality. One may ask why, considering the mass of testimony that he is has been an active homosexual and abuser throughout his adult life.

Sathya Sai Baba avoids any questions about sex if they were a plague (except reportedly in the privacy of the interview room or with close confidantes like Col. Joga Rao with whom V. K. Narasimhan and others have reported Sai Baba would laugh at sexual jokes).

Sathya Sai Baba has a lot to hide. His entire operation and private life (behind closed doors) is entirely cloaked in secrecy and tight security while all his institutions are totally unaccountable to public scrutiny. Only what they choose to publish is known, and this is very sparse material and without details or proper documentation. Everyone who tries to get anywhere near to the facts knows how one is treated, as were the whole BBC team who were invited to the ashram to film, but were thrown out after asking quite normal questions. Sai Baba’s his life-negating puritanical teachings are another telling sign of a concealed sexuality (in this case homosexuality, for which he stands so widely accused, and also pedophilia). He is protected from prosecution by the most powerful leaders in India, who worship him and kiss his feet, but do not know what happens behind his closed doors (though even the for Supreme Court Chief Justice, Bhagwati, and Prime Minister Vajpayee, most ill-advisedly claimed they knew! Without a shred of investigation or examination of the evidence).
