I am 87 as of September 2022 and am healthy and untroubled by beliefs I once held and investigated until they collapsed, so that wider and deeper understanding took their place. It is liberating to defend the facts and truth that have been made known to me. [I was for many years the national leader of Sai Baba's organization in Norway] I have a duty to aid those who Sai Baba deceived as I once promoted him. Many have contacted me for advice.

The following warning from the self-designated virtual mouthpiece of the Muddenahalli gang of the oracle ‘boy’ Sukshma Baba shines forth as an especially vapid example… weaker than diluted water:-
Samastha Loka132 2-5-18 Warning
Sai Ram We just learned that the period leading up until the end of July 2018 will be extremely critical for world peace. It can go either way. There are no details at the moment.
Any thing can happen. Then comes the antidote: “it is time stop watching television, movies, music videos, reading newspapers and magazines, gossiping,chatting on social media AND use these times for chanting. You must take the crises that the whole world is facing as serious. It will affect you wherever you live.
It may be too late when there is no food to eat, when you are in the middle of a hurricane or cyclone, your building is shaking, disease is spreading around you. Anything can happen but why take the chance. Remember that the new age is in the process of being born. Labor pains are to be expected The New Age is wonderful beyond description.”
All empty claims, and some! Chanting as the answer to all world problems is not even hilarious, it is downright moronic. How many people have chanted how much since the world began, and all the problems and threats to security and are much more dire! The best position for chanting is illustrated:-below:-
Sai Surya circulated his report on the Muddenahalli Maha Shivarathri lingam production scam by Madhu Sudan (aka ‘Sukshma Baba’ claimed to be the host to the disembodied Sathya Sai Baba’s ghost). He claimed “We witnessed the impossible.” and writes reams of Sai Baba nonsense, seeming to wish to be a guru himself. (eg. “Swami is beyond all experiences. He has no limitation and can do anything, anytime, anywhere. We should become instruments of Swami. We should also note that beings from all over the universe including the gods were there to witness the birth of the lingam and to be part of the excitement that followed. More invisibles came later to be in this special vibration of the One beyond all and all in action. There was excitement all over the universe. We are able to be here now as the results of many lifetimes.“)
Sai Surya is like the children of whom he wrote: “Children understand his being because they connect to Swami with hearts of pure love.” But at a tender age, children can be induced to believe anything they are told.
Among some of the other utter naive ideas he also forwarded. such as “Because you cannot see God does not mean that He is not there. Like clouds covering the sun” – “There were many invisibles entities here absorbing the Love which will be spread where it is needed. The effect of the bhajans singing will go far beyond these walls throughout the universe to all levels.” … which is no better than “Because you can’t see Superman or Elvis, it does not mean he is not there”. As to this love, it is the kind gurus and devotees talk about endlessly but somehow cannot be observed or met in most Indian ashrams, only imagined, while in its place the money rolls in from well-heeled credulous people and exotically mind-boggled foreigners.
In response to this report of the fake lingodbhava by an imposter, the Sathya Sai devotee Shubha Ramesh Kumar posted an excerpt of a discourse by his God and guru from ‘Sathya Sai Speaks in 1973, which included:-
This overlooks the fact that Sathya Sai Baba himself was an imposter who pretended to be the reincarnation of Shirdi Sai Baba and many another famous figure from Indian history and mythology, including Rama, Krishna, Vishnu and other avatars! Sathya Sai Baba was just a better actor than Madhu Sudan, but his lingam productions were undoubtedly no more genuine and followed the method of Houdini. When he no longer could manage to swallow the golden lingam before the time he should bring it forth, he reverted to sheer sleight-of-hand, using a handkerchief to cover his mouth before he opened it and let it fall out. The BBC filmed this event when making their film ‘The Secret Swami’ (where his failure was revealed) and he pretended the effort had made him ill, collapsed and went of stage without the lingam appearing. Later he returned holding the lingam, which the crowd was told he had brought forth in the usual manner. Thus hopelessly lost in religious fevered imaginings is the Indian guru follower.
The massive fraud being perpetrated in Muddenahalli, near Bangalore, by Madhu Sudan and his mendacious promoters is testing the limits to which one can go with deception of innocents and desperate seekers of miracles and realisation of vain spiritual hopes. Now this impostor has extended his imitation of Sathya Sai Baba’s more fraudulent ‘miracles’ to allegedly producing a golden Shiva lingam from his stomach, spitting it out without further ado on the night of Shiva (Maha Shivarathri at the new moon).
This lingam production racket is just an old trick of Houdini origin (see here), taken up by many in India and elsewhere.
In the above very brief streaming video clip in MP4 (only a few Kbs), the street illusionist shown was filmed by a German crew I watched filming in 1990 at Brindavan ashram. The German commentary stated that Mustapha, the magician, earns his money as a ‘wonderful artist’ who genuinely brings out a stone from his mouth.
Re Sai Baba Lingam: Trick a star act on British TV British TV-watchers were very surprised recently when a man appeared on the popular show “Britain’s Got Talent” and swallowed coins, which he could regurgitate at will, even bringing out any particular numbered coin a member of the audience chose. He then proceeded to swallow a full-sized billiard ball, and then regurgitate it. He did all this without drinking water or making grimaces of suffering for quarter of an hour (as Sathya Sai Baba used to do to increase the suspense, for he had a captive audience). This act is on YouTube:-
Erlendur Haraldsson was completely fooled by Sai Baba: Haraldsson visited Prashanthi Nilayam on at least two occasions after 2000 and before Sai Baba died hoping to see the so-called ‘lingodbhava‘ (alleged materialisation of the egg-shaped Shiva lingam in his stomach, ejected through the mouth). He told me he saw it once from a distance and his view was obscured the other time. As a parapsychological researcher who claims to have been instructed by stage magicians, he has not reported on the failed attempt to regurgitate a lingam in 2002 in the BBC documentary, nor in numerous other video clips. It seems he was still not interested in seeing these. He never contacted the BBC research team (under director Eamon Hardy) nor the Danish TV documentary director Øivind Kyrø (‘Seduced by Sai Baba’). Considering EH’s repeated visits to view the Shivarathri ‘lingam regurgitation’ which SB reintroduced in 2000 after a lapse of many years to counteract the effect of the allegation storm against him, EH apparently did not know that Houdini first developed the trick of swallowing and regurgitating a large egg-shaped object Haraldsson is a confused and would-be believer in Sai Baba’s greatness, without studying the massive contrary evidence.
We are all advised by a lunatic fringe Sai Baba dupe not to forget to participate in ‘Happy Day’ chanting, because that is the ONLY WAY to change the world! Remember that ‘Swami’ will benefit also… How anyone can consider this other than totally stupid is a mystery that exceeds all credibility.
The ‘subtle’ form is competing in ego with the original, now dead form! This happens in the form of discourses, darsans, instructions and directions for activities, all delivered by the ‘subtle body’ (of Sathya Sai) through the unsubtle body of Madhusudan (a former student and consort of Sathya Sai Baba), who is now posing – to all intents and purposes – as Swami Himself. Some brief excepts from the sickening, hypocritical propaganda from what is now being called ‘Subtle Sai World’ follow:- Sai Surya Sukshma Baba Report 337 7-10-16 Sathya351 US News 1 Date: October 8, 2016 at 11:56:44 AM MDT
“Swami’s love and mission continue in this new form stronger than ever. He has said that in His physical frame, He only completed 1/3 of His mission…the remaining 2/3 are happening over the next few years. This is a bit mind blowing, considering all that Swami did in His Physical time with us. However, as we look around the world at all that is happening, we are getting a glimpse about what He is hinting.
“He told us that when things don’t seem to work out it is because of a lack of effort on our part, as His grace is always with us.”
“It has been quite a whirlwind in the Subtle Sai World since we last wrote, and it’s time to share what’s been going on. Currently, Jennie and I just returned from a truly amazing, magical visit with Swami to the Islands of Fiji — now known as the Sailands.”
Telling comment from Srikanth Uppuluri:
“He told us that when things don’t seem to work out it is because of a lack of effort on our part, as His grace is always with us.”
Oh wait a minute….did he say “lack of effort” on the part of the individual, because I thought he earier said that Sai was the real doer, God was the real hero ?
So if individuals do not work, it appears that there IS an impact….meaning on one hand if nothing happens against his will…..nothing happens too even WITH his will, since it boils down to individual’s effort or the lack of it…..
Oh mind…please comprehend the games the Lord plays with your mind….his divine leelas…
