Good works cannot excuse bad deeds

Though Sathya Sai Baba says many acceptable things which first attracted me to his movement, he made increasingly many bizarre and false claims and gave false promises and failed prophecies. I discovered him in  fraud…  claiming a large gemstone ring he gave me was better than a diamond, when it turned out to be a cheap synthetic sapphire (maybe only worth about $10 in India at the time!) See full account here http://www.saibaba-x.org.uk/7/Sathya_Sai_Baba_green_diamond_proven_a_fake.htm

The Prashanthi meditation tree and Reading Room (r.h.) dedicated to Prof. N. Kasturi by Sathya Sai Baba, built late 1980s, demolished before 1996 to give room to massive, costly 5-star VIP building, virtually unused!

True, the billions of dollars Sai Baba has been donated for good works have led to a considerable number of social improvements. Yet the good side of the coin has a hidden counterpart, for there are many unaccounted millions taken by embezzlers in his institutions as Isaac Tigrett knows well (see http://www.saibaba-x.org.uk/9/David_Bailey_phone_testimony.html#tigrettas Isaac) and major bribery for cover-up of murders by Sai Baba is alleged by a most prominent CID officer, V.J. Ram. Millions of dollars have also been virtually thrown away on projects of a highly doubtful nature: museums mainly to promote Sai Baba’s name and supposed Divine Glory, See http://www.saibaba-x.org.uk/13/Sai _Deception_on_donors.html#opu) a full-sized cricket arena for top matches used only once, an international standard tennis stadium which does not fulfil its purpose at all, a large airport which has hardly had nore than a couple of planes a week on average… and so on. He has also been tearing down costly and perfectly usable quite new buildings (eg. the Ramesh Hall at Brindavan, the Kasturi Reading Room at Prashanthi and so on) to erect others in their place when his funds increased.

Some of the ‘bad deeds’ uncovered by the independent investigator  – the famous Indian  CID sleuth J.V. Ram – are given in an excerpt here:-
