J. Jegathesan – deluded believer in Sathya Sai Baba

Click on image to zoom

Datuk J. Jegathesan (or Jagadeeshan, as he sometimes signs himself) has a degree in economy and has long been a top leader in the Sathya Sai organization of Malaysia. Here is the cover of one of his books which praises Sathya Sai Baba and links him to many weird and wonderful events in the ‘fourth dimension’, in which he is a fervent believer:-

However he is without known qualifications as an educator in human and spiritual values, as he presents himself, not least through the same  Sathya Sai Organization. His belief in Sathya Sai Baba forms the basis and outlines the limits of what he believes about everything, including ‘human values’. However, he writes about mediums, healers, possessed persons and so forth, with the experiences of which he is clearly prepossesed.

Having stated early on in his book ‘The Fourth Dimension’:”I am no expert on the question of mediums and trance situations”, he soon begins to make very definitive statements like:-”I am quite certain that these “spirits” are similarly highly evolved souls etc.”

In the two excerpts shown below here, the fact that Jegathesan has developed a strong conviction that  many phenomena of this weird and wonderful kind are important – important enough to write up at such length, despite the warning he also quotes from the one who he regards as his infallible guru that “for every true there are a hundred false” (meaning false mediums) and that he discourages devotees from “running after” such phenomena. However, Jegathesan claims – quite inconsistently – that he believes that Sathya Sai Baba has led him into following up on such phenomena.

These kind of psi-phenomena are referred to in many of  the stories about Sathya Sai Baba, not only by Jegathesan but also by others who tell about such things as his belief in black magic, his driving ou of demons from possessed devotees. I short, a very primitive superstitious view of the world and of mental illnesses.

Corruption in India – Sathyam Computer Services

Barry Pittard discusses corruption in India and the Satyam Computer Services scandal that erupted several days ago, drawing worldwide attention to India. See here “Sathya Sai Fails To Save Satyam”

He writes:  “tens of thousands of talented workers have their jobs and lives under a heavy cloud (any bailout for them?!), which is chilling because it reveals but a small part of the disordered “backyard” that Sathya Sai Baba famously said he would first “clean up” before transforming the rest of the world prior to quitting it circa AD 2022″.
