his 'sect' and his ignorance of worldly knowledge
with digital text transcript below the handwritten notes

Date of conversation and notebook record: 1st January 1996
(continuation of long notes from marathon session with VKN, my wife Reidun and I at Prashanthi Nilayam)

Transcript of handwritten notes: Narasimhan The Ancient Marinier Pt. Two
N. told that all the teachers and students at the Sai colleges in Puttaparthi are very disdainful of the Vice-Chancellor, Hanumanthappa. He rules viciously and troubles the teachers no end. He was thrown out of B'lore University Vice Chancellorship due to huge dissatisfaction - he was even attacked, and he came to Puttaparthi. After two years Swami made him Vice-Chancellor. The students are all disgusted at it? He is a rude and harsh martinet.


__________
N. said that, though Sai says he has not come to start a new sect, all that is seen here is nothing else but a sect.

 

________
N. said that Sai is continually showing that he knows little or nothing of the world - he picks up ideas from professors and others and presents them as if he were the source, but he gets them mixed up into the bargain. Further, he says all computers are rubbish, but his Super-speciality hospital is totally dependent on them. Prof. Sampath has tried to explain to Sai the role of computers in U.S. society etc. but Baba does not take any notice.
