SATHYA SAI BABA - POLITICAL POWER BROKER


Sathya Sai Baba's political power, acting upon his devotees in the highest posts in successive Indian governments, many political circles (State Governors etc.),
the Supreme Court (through P.N. Bhagwati and others) and diverse High Court Justices and other members of the judiciary was undounted. Various claims
have been made by persons involved, without them being able to uncover definitively the methods used by Sai Baba to exercise his clandestine power.

One striking instance was the alleged 'prediction' by Sai Baba to the Chief Minister of Karnataka, Deve Gowda, by addressing him in public as "Prime Minister".
Shortly thereafter Deve Gowda was elected Prime Minister after negotiations between the majority parties at the elction in May 1996. See here

Another gross example was that of Y.R. Ghorpade, Ex Maharaja of Sandur concerning Sathya Sai Baba's influence over the Judiciary, who wrote:
"Before I could mention this problem to Baba he said that I need not worry about the Supreme Court case as he would see that the case is decided
in my favour, and, sure enough in the next few days I heard that we had won in the Supreme Court"
(from the 48th divine dawn Birthday Number of the News Chronicle dated 23.11.1973 and also in the souvenir published by Sri Satya Sai Seva Samithi, Bombayen titled
“AT THE LOTUS FEET 1968”. The article “Those early years” authored by Y.R. Ghorpade)

To get the details of the case, Basava Premanand wrote to the Ex Maharaja of Sandur and though he kept mum on the case advised him to write to
Sri Sathya Sai Books & Publications, Prasanthinilayam. He also pursued the case to th Honourable Chief Justice of India. Premanand has published
the long exchange of letters with the Supreme Court, where their unwillingness to comply with his entirely legitimate requests shines through.

Further, in 1994 I was visiting Mr. V. Ramnath, an IAS Vigilance Officer living in Bangalore who revered Sathya Sai Baba and who had known a number of
prominent figures in Indian life, including the leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Lal Krishna Advani. Ramnath had known Advani from Sai Baba ashram visits for many
years.Ramnath informed me that Advani- who was rather too critical of the guru - had told him on a previous occasions that Sathya Sai Baba had said to him that he would "
never be Prime Minister of India". This proved to be so, because when his party won the 1996 election, though elected overwhelmingly, the Prime Minister
post was instead given to a long-term Sai Baba worshipper, Atal Vihari Vajpayee! Advani served as Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, but never became PM,
and he has since given up that ambition entirely. Everything points to the intervention of Sathya Sai Baba in favour of his devotee Vajpayee.

As India Today reported: "From Indira Gandhi to P.V. Narasimha Rao to A.B. Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh, almost every prime minister paid obeisance to Sai Baba.
It has been a routine affair for Presidents of India - from Shankar Dayal Sharma to Abdul Kalam and Pratibha Patil - to visit Puttaparthi and spend time with him."

THESE ARE A FEW OF SAI BABA'S SCORES OF POLITICAL CONTACTS IN SOUTH ASIA ALONE


Indian Prime Ministers and Presidents even wear the gown he lends to honoured guests at his annual convocations -
in this way he ensures that they are firmly enrolled in his doings in the public eye! This is from the 85th birthday celebrations
