Comment:

In their efforts to defile Sai Baba, these people only manage to  come across as irrational, mentally deranged and imbalanced. No one  in their right mind goes through this degree of efforts to defile  someone else unless they have psychological and mental issues.  Besides, the fact that they consider their own reasoning above  anyone else's is quite laughable. I am not a follower of Baba but I  certainly would put very little weight on these awful people.

Hi to you in Zephyr Hills, Florida!
At least those of us in the Just Group and other ex-followers who criticize Sathya Sai Baba dare to use our own real names. Or are you really the film star, Ben Stiller? If you have the courage to prove it, reply to this mail, please. If not, I shall contact him and find out for myself. It is noteworthy that you comment in connection with a blog about one of the worst internet defamers on record, Gerald Moreno, as if you actually support him. If so, I pity you for such hypocrisy in calling us 'these awful people; and not him and his few fanatical supporters instead!

As to your defiling us as not being in our right minds, do you not know how tremendous are the efforts of the Sai cult - with its billions - to subvert the truth and assassinate the characters of virtually anyone who seriously questions him. We have to put the record straight for the world and keep this in the public eye so as to counteract the continuing daily flood of lies about him. It is a public duty - and, for one, I am retired and while still being deceived by him wrote an all-too-popular pro-Sai book (for which I need to do due penance). My wife and I gave too much of my adult life to supporting and working on behalf of Sai Baba - as Barry Pittard also has done unselfishly for decades until disillusioned- that we have every right to continue our campaign to bring him to justice and his many, many failings to prominence. If you don't understand that - with your premature and unfounded judgments about mental derangement and unbalance (you do no know any of us!) then I pity you and your uninformed mind. You do not give one single cogent reason to doubt anything written against Sathya Sai Baba. He is a major abuser of faith - I learned this most definitively and indubitably in numerous ways after 18 years of knowing him and working on his behalf. I wrote a pro-Sai book (which he blessed etc.) before I was told of the true facts by one of his closest servitors - and a very close friend of mine - editor V.K. Narasimhan. I also have known for many years two person who were induced into oral sex with him, but did not come out with the information until 2000 or thereafter. It is not a thing one tells until one can face up to it... which can take years, as all the world knows.

Zephyr Hills, Florida?? What about it? I live outside of New York, in New Jersey. And what about the actor?? What does that have to do with me? Ben or Bernard, like Robert, is not a very unique name and I can assure you that you are not the only Robert in the world, although you may wish to think so. Your reasoning seems very weak and you have confirmed my first impression. Then what to think of all your conspiracy theories? Not much and they give little validity because you don't give a good impression, frankly.

I can now understand from your email that you are a deeply mentally disturbed person who clearly needs psychological counseling.I do not know your compatriot Gerald Moreno who don't seem more different than yourself, and there are millions of sites on the web, and no - I don't know every owner or author of them all if I happen to come across someone's site... but I find it interesting that such a negative, clearly confused and deeply unsound person like yourself have this opinion about someone else. Not that I am surprised.

 

Here is my advice for you simply from reading your nonsensical email to me: go to your nearest doctor and ask for the help that you clearly need. For someone your age to spend so much time on the web spewing so much hatred, I don't think is helpful to anyone. You're neither guiding or helping anybody, expect guiding people to get the impression that your are insane. Cheers and hope you manage to find a more meaningful activity one day in your life.
Ben.

Zephyr Hills is the address of the IP from which you sent your mails. How nuts are you to think I suggest I believe I am the only Robert In the world. Is that your reasoning, well, hard luck! My reasoning is extensive and very strong, I have taught logic, semantics, pragmatics , science and philosophy for most of my adult life. You think you know about me, you are a presumptuous and arrogant under-achieving amateur psychologist. I taught at the Psychology Institute in Oslo for years, also have long experience working in homes with disturbed persons. I have been friends with many top people in psychology and psychiatry. You can't even discover that gerald Moreno is your compatriot, not mine. I am very positive towards the truth, defense of the weak and what is right and good. You show how you harbour spite and suffer from baseless prejudice. You evidently cannot produce a figment of proof against any one of my statements on the www.

You fit well into the massive hate campaign directed against us by people in denial, thousands of hate mails - mostly anonymous  I shall be posting your stuff and my replies in that dossier for permanent access on the www. You are not worth a single word more.

A few more words on my own behalf, though. Barry Pittard and I, among a number of other professionals of different disciplines, have for a decade been helping a large number of former Sai cult followers who have applied to us as trusted ex-followers for information, advice, direct or indirect help for deprogramming and dealing with family problems, juridicia issues and much more. Ben Stiller shows he knows nothing of us, has not read any of the deep analyses of the guru trap and its countless consequences which I have presented on the basis of my extensive experience - and not least in having myself gone through a sometimes painful but mostly uplifting process of self-de-indoctrination, See my writings on cult entrapment


Now for some love and light from an Indian devotee:-

The above articles are  baseless and derogatory articles on Sathya Sai Baba.I can file a defamatory suit on you guys and your website.I am a devotee of Sai baba for the last 30yrs and my family knows him for the last 50 yrs so do not fool around and spread false messages about a great saint.I strongly condemn the messages and articles published in this website.His contribution to the society is extraordinary and his preachings are excellent and useful for the current world scenario and this is the reason for millions of foreigners and indians to visit his ashram throughout the year and listen to his divine discourses.They are not fools to spend so much money and come down to India.They are able to attain peace of mind in the ashram and help others.Please do not continue to publish such articles in your website and waste your time and that of others.Use these resources to do something which is productive and useful for the society...

Reply in place of Barry Pittard
You have been a devotee since about the time I became one - early 1980. I have met Sai Baba many times and had up to 9 hours in interviews with him, including 5 private interviews together with my wife. (Read some of my notes made at the time) I was an active service worker and wrote many articles in his journal Sanathana Sarathi and a popular pro-Sai book (Source of the Dream). So I know what I am talking about when I call him out for massive deceits, bogus materializations, involvement in criminal matters including murders in his own bedroom (you seem not to know anything except what you want to believe). Just read with an open mind, if you still have the slightest ability to think independently and honesty left. I have never spread a false message about him and you cannot prove to me that anything I or Barry Pittard have written is false... if so, go ahead! His preaching are puritan and often full of ignorant superstition... quite apart from the empty promises about liberation in the next world... which only much inquiry can reveal is all based on age-old religious speculation.

I also know that there have never been "millions of foreigners" visiting him, though he has made such claims. The 70th birthday, which I attended, registered less than 40,000 foreign visitors from the entire world. You need to do a lot of simple investigation... but I guess you are so emotionally and mentally dependent on this bogus God that you will most put your head back in the sand.

Sashi Raj is of course unable to file a suit against any of the critics of Sathya Sai Baba. One cannot file a defamation suiot on behalf of anyone else, and there is no point in doing so in a country which has no jurisdiction over those one wishes to sue. Were it only possible for him to do so, the can of worms would really be opened - and I can just see the efforts the Sai Organization and its lackeys would exert to try to stop any such thing, for they can only lost by it, and Sathya Sai Baba too! The depths of delusion about Sai baba are the depths of head-in-the-sand ignorance... that is baselessness.
