Sathya Sai Baba and Materialization
What do you think of the South Indian guru and religious/spiritual leader? Despite the myriad controversies surrounding him, Sathya Sai Baba continues to be a popular Guru with a huge number of followers around the world. Sathya Sai Baba's devotees believe that he relieves his devotees by transferring their pain to himself. Daily, he is observed to allegedly manifest vibuthi (holy ash), and sometimes food and small objects such as rings, necklaces and watches.

Re: Sathya Sai Baba and Materialization
I got a real turn off on him when I researched some information that he sexually abuses/d small boys. This information was quite extensive.
I also saw videos showing how he was doing some simple magician tricks. This information is out there if you want to look it up. I didn't want to make a negative post about Sai Baba, nor spend anymore of my life energy on this topic, but I think anyone interested in him should look it up and make their own decision about it.

Re: Sathya Sai Baba and Materialization
In this our day and age it would be a great miracle if such a well known and public figure like Sai Baba didnt get thrown any dirt at...!... "Only a fruit laden tree attracts stones"
Sai Baba says he is a Full Purna Avatar of God...meaning Divinity in Its Entirety is Manifest in this his Incarnation...He also says he is the reincarnation of Sai Baba of Shirdi (died October 15, 1918)...and that he will reincarnate again 7 years after he drops this body at age 96! In this incarnation Sathya Sai Baba is always stressing that his life is his message and his message is love for God and service to Man...God is your friend and Man are your brothers and sisters...his miracles are only visiting cards to attract people to the importance of his message...his miracles span from manifesting whatever from thin air to raising the dead...from bilocation to visiting dreams...he himself attracts little importance to the miracles and compare them to his glory like a mosqito on the back of an elephant...he is force of Love Beauty and Truth... As an Icelandic scientist with Kirillian photography equipment said about the aura of Sai..."if i ever saw Love walking on two feet...this is it!" I have myself felt this mysterious force of Love when sitting and waiting in Darshan (seeing the Lord) amidst thousands of people...from the blue a sudden emotional release and overflow of the heart and you break down and cry baby... Sai Baba is behind numerous free education and health projects in India ...schools University Hospital clean drinking water...all free and to the benefit of those who cannot afford it... Now to question his claim of Divinity doesnt change the fact of all the good and tangible results of his mission to the poor needy and devotees...besides he doesnt want to start another special cult but to confirm the spiritual values and set Man on this right track back to Godhead... In his next reincarnation as Prema Sai his mission is to stress and raise Mans counsiousness to the fact that Man is essentially Divine and we will Realize this fact if we but pluck out all our thorns of various petty desires... Man - Desire = God ~ God + Desire = Man Now we can spend times discussing this and that about him til we are out of breath and energy...but we should dive deep into the matter and investigate...all the way his mission is speeding up and the spiritual plane is about to lift...do you want to board it?...thats the question! |

Re: Sathya Sai Baba and Materialization
Nice thread, you will also enjoy this amazing interview with one of Sai Baba's former students, I bought her 'Brain Illumination' DVD too which is brilliant!
http://www.consciousmedianetwork.com/members/smaa.htm Her Holiness Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi Her Holiness Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi has become the first woman ever bestowed the title of Jagadguru Bhaktimayi Meera Bai in the five thousand year history of the Vaishnav Saint Society on January 22, 2007 at the Ardh Kumbh Mela in Prayag, India. 'Jagatguru' is the highest title that can be received, and it means Master of the Universe. 'Bhaktimayi' is one who is totally in devotion. 'Meera' was a Queen in Mewar, 'Bai' means sister or mother. In this interview in Sacramento, Regina discusses the nature of her work for Humanity in Unity and the practice of silence, stillness and compassion. Visit with Her Holiness Sai Maa at her website, www.humanityinunity.org Om Jai Sai Maa! |
