Neeti Kamath: a glaring example of total credulity about Sai Baba

The head-in-sand denial and total credulousness combined with the most fleeting relation to documented facts of some Sai devotees who contact me by e-mail and comments etc. is well demonstrated by comments which I post now and again:-

Here I reproduce a classic example, a comment by the undiscerning woman, Neeti Kamath, who posted on the web that Sathya Sai Baba has one billion devotees! She has decided to  remove her super exaggeration because it “may” be wrong. The world would  always consider such to be disasterous exaggerations. However,  she (neethi) now compounds her foolishness by claiming that I “distort every fact“- and that “there is no truth in any single post of yours”  (my underlining). Further she asks “is it your right,to question thousands of people[devotees of baba] and their experiences” To this I answer, indeed I have the right  to question, there is such a thing as free speech. I have further earned the right because I firstly questioned and analysed in depth my own considerable experiences of the same or similar kinds to many devotees (as detailed partly in my book ‘Source of the Dream’). I broke the cultist taboo on thinking critically about Sathya Sai Baba and – largely due to much information from Sai baba close assistant an editor o his journal, V.K. Narasimhan – gradually came to entirely new perspectives and discoveries about the entire gamut of Sathya Sai Baba and his doings. I discovered at a hitherto unperceived levels many extremely subtle ways in which the human mind works to generate experiences and then maintain it’s cherished beliefs and hopes, even when crushing evidence against them is available, even when staring one in the face. I question experiences because that is the only way to develop and understand oneself and the world.

That there are many who have had experiences which they attribute to Sathya Sai Baba does not itself validate the experiences as giving objective knowledge. Many, many people have had experiences of all manner of weird and wonderful things, which nevertheless have been based on mind control. self-programming, belief, over-interpreted perceptions and systematic head-in-the-sand denial of anything that disturbs those dreams and visions, however bad the effects are for those who undeniably suffered at the hands of Sathya Sai Baba – and very literally so. Many persons can be deluded much of the time (egs. – without necessarily implying other negative comparisons – those who believed Roman emperors, Djengis Khan, various King-dictators  were Gods Incarnate, and not forgetting those who believed the same of Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse Tung were good, and who very many also believe were Saviours and even God)

Here is her comment, as posted  under:- ‘One Response to “Sai’s ‘billion’ devotees”
(Confronted by such amazing delusions and sloppy writing as neeti performs below, what can one say but ‘poor soul’?)
