Canadian ‘Sugrim Singh’: claim that Sai Baba is using his body

In continuation of the exposure by the Ottawa Post shown in yesterday’s blog, is a message (brown text) supposedly from Sathya Sai Baba himself  ‘speaking’ from beyond the grave. It has been embraced by a large number of Sai Baba’s ever gullible followers around the world, since the claimant Dharamraj (aka‘Sugriv’ and Ram Singh) has ashrams here and there and followings in many countries. The text is a prime example of attempts thunder-stealing from Sathya Sai Baba. Firstly, see the claims of Sugriv Singh, purportedly coming though him from Sathya Sai Baba:-

“The mind of a human being – fickle, insatiable greed, doubt.  But I the Devine Lord still continue to love and serve her, you and all.  I judge not and I do not differentiate amongst my children.  I already am aware of the prayers of my devotees so do not doubt in me, I have already contemplated in the cosmos the mention of the government loans which she claims having to pay but in reality has nothing to worry about. Not only should she not fear because I AM HERE. But also because of this website here: 

Just take a look at this and compare it to the financial statements that Sugriv shares with you all for the organization and you will see that all the monies match up.  There is also an incorporated business no: (Incorporation #1551508 -Province of Ontario).  If  Dharamraj Sugriv, Das, Sonia and Simone were hiding something, why would they put that on the website for all to see?  Total transparency.  How do you think God/I am wherever you (all) are but you can’t see me.  I play with you all the time.  Question me not.

Now, as to the cars and properties, you see I have been on this earth in a form of man for longer than Dharamraj so I have been given a lot of love in form of gifts and I am just used to it.  Devine is not materialistic so I don’t need objects to feed my soul – I live in your hearts.  But I was born in form of a Man and I lived and died just like a man. And being a man I liked “things” expensive things” so I just had them.  That wasn’t all, I also didn’t want to reject the gifts from my beloved devotees and hurt their feelings.  I love them and serve them while they love me and serve me back with those token of their gratitude and gestures.

Dharamraj along with his wife and daughters are given these things by other human beings of their own free will – Right?  Right?  Because, they see how special this family is. No one was ever told, or sent and email by me SSSB to send them money or items etc. – correct? Let me put this to you differently, don’t you my beloved ones have the FREEDOM of CHOICE?  Yes, sometimes I play with you.  I live in your heart as GOD and then at the same exact time  I talk to you through this body of Dharamraj because I am omniscient (that means I can be everywhere all the time).  I know it’s difficult to understand but don’t doubt me.

So, while you are asked to make these donations and sacrifices from the goodness of your own heart.  I sitting in your own heart (where I live) decide for myself that you the devotee should adorn me with gifts.  And you shall receive in many folds back.
By being my devotee, you have devoted your life and your deepest secrets and problems to me. You have cried, begged and pleaded for help.  You have Trusted me your GOD.  And never have I used this against you to scare you or threaten you to extort money from any of you while in the body of Dharamraj Sugriv Singh. Nor have I used your innocence and purity to make you feel sorry for these human beings carrying out my task while I use this man’s body.  Suggestions took place, words are used a certain way and right then and there with a swirl of my hand results occur.  Checks arrive, gifts arrive and that’s just it.  It’s a miracle.
Stay tuned for the second chapter of my leela in the form of Devine that takes over Dharamraj Singh, the chosen one.”

In view of Sugriv Singh’s denials of his role in Sai Nilayam and as a spiritual leader to the Ottawa Sun newspaper, the following e-mail (blue text) laid forth the agenda of Sugriv Singh and family quite clearly:-

To Dr. V.P.Singh, The Central Co-ordinator Sri Sathya Sai Council of Canada,  403 Galaxy Court 3582 Huntington Ave. Sudbury, Windsor, Ontario P3E 5K6
March 19,2001.

Dear Dr.Singh
Sai Phenomenon in the new millenium
In the new millenium Parthi Sai will be but a spec on the Horizon and the conventional forms of transportation will not suffice to meet the needs of Sai and His commitment specially for the uplifting of the individual and hence all of Humanity. “The Avatar comes to transform Humanity but this must take place through the transformation of the individual making up humanity. To raise the bread we mix a pinch of yeast into the dough and the action of the yeast spreads throughout the mix, eventually leavening the entire loaf. So the Avatar works through the individuals, transforming them into the divinity they essentially are. The light from the many individuals gradually dispels the darkness of ignorance, impacting all of humanity”
Sai’s decision not to travel by conventional means and to provide the opportunity for thousands of devotees on this continent, who may never visit Puttaparthi, to have His Darshan, has led Him to assume 15 other forms around the world. In Canada the form being used is that of Sugrim Singh, of Ottawa.
“I often tell you not to identify even me with this particular body. You do not understand. You call me only by one name & believe that I have only one form but there is no name, I do not bear & there is no form that is not mine.” (Mission of the Avatar)
The often-quoted saying by Swami that He does not talk to His devotees through other devotees is being misapplied in this particular instance. Sugrim Singh has no conscious awareness when Sai takes over His body. From that moment, it is Sai Himself who is the occupant. It is Sai, who directs, instructs gives out His calling cards, performs miracles etc. Swami has done this on several other occasions during His mission e.g. Saving Dr.Gadia, Dr. Shankar (Sai Katha), Shiridi to Parthi to PremSai and it was Sai that appeared before the little girl & prompted her to call 911 when her mother was having a heart attack prompting the series ”Touched by an angel.”
Thus the idea of Swami taking over a devotee’s body is not unusual. What is unusual is the inability of some of us to accept these occurrences as within the realm of possibility. What is required is an open mind, recognition that the Divine, who is resident in our hearts, is indeed omnipotent. In a situation like this, one has to close ones eyes and look at Swami with love in ones heart while allowing the sense of hearing to do its work, until one is conditioned to embrace the presence of Swami’s adopted form. The bliss experienced in the presence of Swami in any form out weighs the pictorial presence.
What is the form of our Swami? The true form of Swami is “LOVE.” The immense love experienced while in the presence of Swami confirms absolutely the presence of Divinity. Devotees must, therefore be encouraged to come forth and explore and experience Him.
The function of any Management is to plan, manage its resources (devotees) and be pro active in introducing change as required.  Sai is a Mystery and we can never fathom him. He is dynamic and so our management of His affairs also needs to be dynamic. We have to manage by observing, inferring, concluding, recommending and implementing. No living entity in HIS creation can represent Him without His will and act as Him (manifesting, singing, giving discourses, Vedic examples etc.). This is only possible by Hs divine will.
The phenomenon that we are currently witnessing is in its early stages and the Sri Sathya Sai Council of Canada, needs to be aware, informed and involved.  Perhaps a committee can be established to investigate and attend some of the sathsangs where the phenomenon is occurring. We must maintain unity & loyalty amongst the devotees and prevent the drift of resources, which will be required to accomplish the projects currently on the Board.
The Sai family must remain unified and I appeal to you to investigate this matter with a pure heart and an open mind. It is my hope that Sai may find His rightful place in our midst and the devotees be allowed to experience Him, His glory, hear His voice and develop their devotion, under our controlled /disciplined environment and accord Sai the love He so much desires of us. The discussion of this subject at the meeting of the Sai Center presidents in Toronto from April 13-15,’01 must take precedence and an inquiry launched immediately in order to avoid misunderstanding amongst the devotees. I look forward to discussing this matter with you at the meeting as a formal Agenda item.

Yours sincerely
R.Mandal, V.P Sudbury Devotional group

Comment: Briefly, one fraudulent divine guru trying to steal the thunder of another, much bigger fraudulent divine guru!

What are the facts about Sugriv Singh?  From public records we find:- Name Dharamraj Singh – Date of birth: 23-Sep-53: Canadian citizen. Growing up in Guyana Dharamraj was then called Sugrim by his family.  At birth he was taken away by his paternal grandmother until the age of 7. In the critical years of a child’s life he was not provided nurture from his own mother. He already considered himself the chosen one nonetheless, which indicates a serious pathological disturbance already developing. He moved to Canada and became naturalized, and is presently – besides dispensing God’s favour – is listed professionally as: Singh, Ram; Senior Policy and Program Analyst, and he is a full-time government employee! (e-mails to Ram: Ram.Singh@tbs-sct.gc.ca – e-mail for devotees: Sugriv/Ram:   singh.ram@tbs-sct.gc.ca). Within his organization (Sai Nilayam Spiritual Organisation) Dharamaraj Singh and his wife never use their real/legal names. He is known there as Sugriv, Sugreev, or Sugrim and the names he uses to address himself and expects his devotees to use are “GOD”:  Swami, Baba, Sathya Sai Baba, Satya Sai Baba, Sai Baba. His wife is known as ‘Das’. His wife and two daughters – Simone and Sonia are directors of this profitable outfit.

Sai Nilayam has allegedly run some charitable service projects in Trinidad, Canada Belarus, Poland, Guyana and India states it has 150 core volunteers, none of whom are paid for their work. In  this is is modelled on the Sathya Sai Organization which requires all work, time and money to be given freely by members without any rights in return (other than the blessings of God, perhaps). It has been sponsored to some extent by over 50 small businesses.

One of Dharamraj’s daughters named Sonia has written:- ”I have a PsyD in Clinical Psychology and wondering why the govenment doesn’t forgive my student loans…I help keep its’ citizens sane.” (quote found originally on http://www.simjay.wedsite.com/)
” Aside from misspelling the word government she has forgotten that the fees for her education as well as her lifestyle including her Mercedes Benz are funded by the devotees. How can this recent graduate afford a waterfront high-rise condo and a Mercedes Benz? It seems that Sathya Sai Baba – the eternal Chairman of the Sathya Sai Trust is thought to have provided the answer to these troubling suspicions (apparently by some kind of ventrilocution through his puppet Sugriv Singh? Who knows?)
