Sathya Sai Baba had, as is well known, occasionally prophesied his own death, only he has given different dates for it at different times (see here) , and had even (contradictorily) proclaimed to close followers that he would decide when to die depending on whether his task is complete or not. The exact day - his 95th birthday – was even reported in a public speech by Dr. A Murthy who led at the 1998 World Conference on the Future of Mankind before Sathya Sai Baba! We all now know that not one of his predictions on this held up to the fact – he lived for 84 years only.
Death cuts off the pride and pomp of those who indulge in them! Guess who indulged himself in that! Look at any of the official Sai Baba websites and see the photographs which display pomp galore, tinsel unbounded but also gold and silver trappings, many thrones and chariots – all of which Sathya Sai Baba encouraged and often carefully planned for himself! But see what he says about such things:-   |
