Sai Baba declares he is Vishnu and Krishna come again

Sathya Sai Baba’s overall claim to be the great Avatar come to save humanity – though also claimed by others – is taken to such lengths that no others can compete in delusions of grandeur:- “When dharma declines or rather, when those who have a duty to regulate their lives according to dharma lose faith in it, then, its restoration cannot be taken up by all and sundry… The Lord has come again on this Mission. He has collected the engineers and contractors and the labour for this purpose. He is now set on the task.” Sathya Sai Speaks Vol 3. p. 185 (new edition).

He certainly cannot be faulted on the vastness of his claims, even though his attempts at fulfilment of them falls very far short.

Sai Baba continually repeats the fantastical mythical events from Indian scripture as if they were historical fact.  (see scan).  He has spoken of Krishna’s lifting a mountain to protect his devotees from a flood of rain as historical fact! Worse than that, he made the famous statement in a discourse – published and checked by himself – that he too will lift – not one but a whole range of mountains. Here is a scan of an excerpt his published discourse in Sathya Sai Speaks Vol. 3, p. 92 (new edition)

Many statements Sathya Sai Baba has made where he presents what are ’stories’, myths and legends from Indian scripture so as to mislead  his uneducated and unsuspecting countrymen to believe in them as literally true. One thing is certain, his stories will never be accepted by the world at large as anything other than fables, and his prophecy about himself lifting a mountain range is equally untenable, as so many of his prophesies are.

Sai Baba claims Ramayana and Mahabharata stories are factual!
