Sathya Sai School, Leicester, fails to open

MRS.USHA & MR. CHENG HO LIM

The Sathya Sai School, Leicester, which should have opened for the autumn term last month, is closed to date. Reportedly, the remaining pupils have left as the school ran out of funds, which the UK Sathya Sai Trust refused to provide any longer.  The law firm that represents the UK Sathya Sai Trust is Avery Emerson, Ilford Essex.  It seems this is the death knell for the school unless they are successful in court in future. It must surely be best for the community that a school ceases to exist where the head teacher has been condemned widely for bullying of children and unfair practices against certain parents, yet who threatened parents with a lawsuit after they had been reported to the Leicester social services. Moreover, the physical education teacher, Mr. Cheng Hoe Lim, husband of headmistress Mrs. Usha Lim was accused of sexual harassment of another teacher… not the ideal environment for young children! Mr. Cheng Ho Lim also travels around as a charlatan ‘healer’, recently to the Netherlands, claiming the ethereal assistance of deceased Sathya Sai Baba and his ‘vibuthi’ (i.e. the ‘holy’ ashes of cow dung, rice husks and/or sandalwood). Sathya Sai Baba often denied that he had ever delegated any such powers to any individual.

Formerly, a newly appointed head of the Sathya Sai World Fund education committee, Australian Dr Pal Dhall, and other international delegates acted against the Leicester Sai School.  Mr Kalyan Ray (head of the education committee Sri Sathya Sai World Fund) was relieved of his post as was also, Dr Madhavi Majmudar female director on the education committee, the reason being their complicity in sweeping matters under the carpet and ignoring the complaints of the parents.

The activities of the Leicester Sai school caused long-running confrontations within and between various bodies and representatives of the rich and influential Sathya Sai cult in India, the UK, leading to the sacking of the US citizen Dr. Michael Goldstein, International Chairman of the Sathya Sai Organisation and appointed permanently by Sathya Sai Baba himself. Mrs. Usha Lim and her supporters later refused to remove the Sathya Sai name from the school after this was demanded by the central Sai Baba educational body under the official Prashanthi Council in Puttaparthi, India. In addition to this, the Ofsted Commission’s latest report on the school was very negative and can be seen below right (click on image to zoom in).

Sathya Sai School, Leicester,  fights to survive The Sathya Sai Trust owns the school building at Leicester and have warned the school that if they do not pay the previous years rent and if their headteacher Mrs. Lim is not removed then they want the school to vacate the premises. On the contrary the schools states that the trust owns them money.

Sathya Sai School, Leicester, fights to survive

CLICK TO READ FULL REPORT

The Sathya Sai school has lodged a legal case against the Sri Sathya Sai Trust UK out of fear that the Trust might kick them out of their school premises. 

The Sathya Sai Trust owns the school building at Leicester and have warned the school that if they do not pay the previous years rent and if their headteacher Mrs. Lim is not removed then they want the school to vacate the premises. On the contrary the schools states that the trust owns them money.

It is to be recalled that Mrs Usha Lim was reported to the social services by the parents for her bullying behaviour and Mr Cheng Hoe Lim for his sexual harassment of a female colleague. Most of the affected parents have removed their children out of this school and it remains to be seen how this doomed school will survive after summer. All this in the name of their God Sai Baba and the so called values of “love all serve all”. (from a proxy informant in UK who remains anonymous here so as to protect against harassment by the Sathya Sai school headmistress and co.)

The Ofsted Commission’s report on this school has become more and more negative as can be seen in the 2014 report (click on image on the right here). However the Ofsted inspectors remained ignorant of the bullying case and sexual harassment cases, which were suppressed through legal threats against the parents of the bullied child etc. by the very rich people who are devotees of Sai Baba, including Dr. Michael Goldstein.
