Sathya Sai Baba and the truth The name 'Sathya' translates a 'truth'. Does this self-proclaimed omniscient saviour of mankind live up to his word? Some of his statements are posted here and examined carefully.
Inscrutable, accounting to no man, Sathya Sai Baba Proclaiming that he is a mystery beyond the reach of any human investigation, Sathya Sai Baba requires that his followers do not investigate him in any way other than that he prescribes... unquestioning faith and belief in his word and actions.
Understanding Sathya Sai Baba's responses to questions On how nearly all followers who have sparse contact with Sathya Sai Baba attain contact through accepted ways of taking his often ambiguous words and his behaviour at darshan. Also Sai Baba believers’ programmatic misinterpretations
Indulal Shah, cover-up man for Sai Baba Former Chairman of the world-wide Sathya Sai Organization was an extremely autocratic 'ruler' of office-bearers and member followers, allowing no feedback and excluding all those who he - or his main supporters - disliked.
Press Council of India Long Silent On Sathya Sai Baba Bedroom Killings The Press Council of India was asked by the Anantapur District Journalists' Union to inquire into the criticism of Sri Sathya Sai Baba against the Press for publishing news items and special articles on the June 6 incident that occurred in Prashanthi Nilayam in which six persons were killed. No reponse was forthcoming. See also Indian Newspaper Reports of Killings In Sai Baba’s Bedroom
The Fame of Name and Person - Sai Baba part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4 and part 5 A series of blogs giving insight into the causes of the contin ued following of this 'avatar' despite major and widespread revelations about his name and fame, his social projects, how he runs his ashrams and followership and not least about 'ungodly' behaviour
The worship of Sathya Sai Baba's person Having set himself up as a divine incarnation from his youth onwards, Sathya Sai Baba is the focus of a kind of mythology - especially among India devotees. This process of mythologisation of almost everything about him apparently gets more widespread as he becomes less available for personal contacts and continues to be unaccountable and beyond the scrutiny of anyone in his many private hours.
Sathya Sai Baba on 'free will' On no other subject, perhaps, is Sathya Sai vaguer - and often directly self-contradicting - than on that of human will... whether we have any degree of freedom or not. He emphasises total fatalism more often than he supports a degree of free will...
Sai Baba's humility and grandeur It is said by some close devotees that Sathya Sai Baba is the essence of humility. How this accords with his claims to be God Incarnate, to hold all power of the cosmos in one hand, to be able to transform earth into sky and vice-versa, is an enigma... unless one realises the arrogance and megalomania present.
Sathya Sai Baba as world saviour Well-known proclamations by Sathya Sai Baba are quoted on how he intends to save the planet and humanity... as well as some of his more incredible prophecies which hae so far not come to pass.
Sathya Sai Baba says the whole world loves him, but can that be so? Some of the evidence is examined here, and references are given to sources.
Sathya Sai Baba as supreme servant of mankind Sathya Sai has laid claim to being the person on earth who does one thousand more times than any other to help humanity. On what is this claim based... here are some of the answers.
No Nobel Peace Prize For Self-Claimed God of Gods Sathya Sai Baba It was announced in Sathya Sai Baba centers round the world a decade ago that Sathya Sai Baba was a candidate for a Nobel Peace Prize. Despite a visit by Dr. Michael Noble, a great grandson of Alfred Nobel, who falsely claimed to represent the Nobel Foundation, Sathya Sai Baba was never mentioned by the Nobel Committee.

BBC and Other Film Footage Shows India’s Top Guru Sathya Sai Baba Faking Miracles This wealthy and highly authoritarian organization, which seeks to infiltrate mainstream civic, religious, education and political venues, will not be so frank as to show the waverers the BBC's revealing documentary 'The Sesret Swami'
Isaac Tigrett. Selling Out Those Condemned to a House Of Blues Tigrett granted the ’probability’ that the allegations of sexual abuse of boys and young men were true, but he still adheres to his guru - sayiong he would not change if Sai baba went out and murdered someone tomorrow. He is reportedly now living at Puttaparthi.
India will lead the world - Sathya Sai Baba He continues to make impossible predictions about how he is reviving morality and values in India to the extent that this State will unify the entire world!. His predictions on this from the 1960s have long since failed.. as have many of his fantastic boasting pronouncements about himself and his organization
Sathya Sai Baba Man, Gerald Moreno: Islamic Terrorism Issue One of Gerald Moreno’s myriad character assassination forays against former Sai Baba devotee critics (and others like the Indian Rationalist B.Premanand and the independent British scholar Kevin Shepherd) has been the attempt to make it seem as though Barry Pittard would incite Islamic terrorism.
Murders in the Prashanthi temple – reflections 1 On how I came to learn of the murders in the bedroom of Sai Baba, and how - despite misgivings - I rationalized the matter for some years until I was awoken to the realities by V.K. Narasimhan's private confidences. Continuation of this issue in Murders in the Prashanthi temple - reflections 2
Sathya Sai Baba Sect and Its Hidden Agendas. A Caution Sectarian devotees around the world speak constantly of Truth, Right Conduct, Peace, Love and Non-Violence. They behave outwardly as having the appearance of professional and ethical responsibility. But there is are hidden agendas...
World leaders and Sathya Sai Baba who welcomes all important and rich persons, especially Presidents, Prime Ministers and royalty, always giving them pride of place over all who work selflessly for him. The super-rich despots - the King and Queen of Nepal - were among those so privileged - but not long after they were both shot down by their son! So much for Sai Baba's much vaunted 'grace and protection' of his worshippers.
Sathya Sai Baba and the Vedas - part one
Claming that he is the embodiment of the Vedas, Sathya Sai Baba makes extraordinary claims for the knowledge they contain, but these are not followed up by the extraordinary proofs that this would require. On the contrary, his claims are almost entirely bogus as any educated person can appreciate.
Sathya Sai Baba and the Vedas - part two Continuation of the previous posting.
Sathya Sai Baba’s Failed Moon Miracle Under Heavy Cloud His incredible statement (via his close aide and frequent translator Professor Anil Kumar on October 4, 2008) that he would give ‘visvarupa darshanam’ on the moon ended in crowd chaos when the sky was cloud-covered and the police had a serious time preventing threats to life and limb in all the milling of the crowds who had rushed to the designated site, the Sathya Sai airport (a white elephant on sale with sweeteners for anyone fool enough to buy it).
Why Do Prominent Sathya Sai Baba Sect Critics Persist? They see that there should be the presence of best practice standards of accountability and transparency. Of these, there is, in the Sathya Sai Baba sect, an abysmal lack.
Sathya Sai Baba blessings Devotees long for Sai Baba's blessings - invariably not once but countless times. The even use devious means to try to obtain them or prove they have somehow received them.. The ways in which he supposedly blesses are countless, many devised by the heated imaginations of those who cannot face the thought that he has not given them special attention, however fleetingly.
Sathya Sai Baba and the Dalai Lama Sathya Sai Baba doers not stand comparison to the Dalai Lama as a genuinely truthful, open and humble servant of people. That is why Sai followers try to show that the Dalai Lama endorses Sathya Sai Baba. However, they have to rely on the very thinnest of pretexts to make this claim... as they also did to try to show that the Duke of Edinburgh endorsed Sathya Sai Baba. Risible stuff!
Sathya Sai Baba ashrams in decline Since the revelations in 1999/2000, there had been a steady decline in interest in Sathya Sai baba in countries which have good Internet access and an educated population. This is seen in the persecution of foreigners who resided at the ashrams and the neglect and harassment (through visas etc.) of foreign (non-Indian) visitors.
Sathya Sai Baba - insider report
A devotee in Oslo has special connections to Sai Baba servitors who told her that Sai baba sat and cried all day in his room. She also reported that there is a water shortage in Puttaparthi, of all places! That after the vastly expensive and largely failed 'Rayalaseema Water Project, financed by donations, brought fresh water to the Prashanthi Nilayam ashram and Puttaparthi village above all else!
Sathya Sai Baba prophesies his death Will he pass away at age 92 or 93, or again at 95 or 96 - as he has predicted on different occasions... or will he chose another time to die, as he has also implied to a close servitor, Ratan Lal.
Sathya Sai Baba blames everything on others, nothing on himself Sai Baba says that all the sufferings and difficulties in life experienced by anyone, including his devotees, is caused entirely by themselves and that he is to blame for nothing whatever. He even blames natural disturbances like earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis on humanity!
Dr. Naresh Bhatia's exposure of Sathya Sai Baba One of the greatest exposers of Sai baba as a sexual abuser was by one of his very closest servitors, Dr. Naresh Bhatia, who worked at the Sathya Sai Super-Speciality Hospital blood bank. He challenged Sai Baba over a case of anal rape of a young boy. He was vilified and threatened - banned and accuse wd of all manner of sins.
Dreams of Sathya Sai Baba - imaginary or real That Sathya Sai Baba appears and intervenes in dreams has been believed by virtually every devotee for decades, for he told this on many occasions. What surprise when he suddenly held a discourse denying that he appears in anyone's dreams, that is is all imagination or the result of bad digestion etc..
Sathya Sai Baba - claims belied by actions The only way to tell a false from a true 'guru', according to Sai Baba, is to compare their words with their actions. When applied to him, huge discrepancies appear and his actions belie his words on many occasions..
Sathya Sai Organization: World Communities Need To Treat This Sect Cautiously The leaders of the international Sathya Sai Organization are highly secretive, authoritarian and unaccountable and are cultists on these and numerous other grounds.
Sathya Sai Baba’s ‘curtain of shame’ & ‘doors of disgrace’ What goes on behind the curtain and/or doors of Sai Baba's private interview room has been reported by many... and often it is credibly claimed this involves sexual molestation.

Alice Meets Sathya Sai Baba Hinduism often regards the Shiva lingam as signifying wonder and majesty of creation-dissolution plus eternity. Sathya Sai Baba's fraudulent 'materializations' of lingams does questionable service to the religion he promotes far more than any other.
Explaining the influence of Sathya Sai Baba Some people ask why anyone every believes in Sathya Sai Baba, calling him a 3rd rate trickster and quite evidently a bogus guru because of his claim to create objects. The matter is not as simple as that - he has collected a vast amount of money and considerable number of followers, which requires some explanation. This requires a very many-sided, well-informed and critical understanding
Apartments in Prashanthi Nilayam and Brindavan Donors of large sums for the right to use an apartment at the Prashanthi Nilayam (Puttaparthi) and the Brindavan (Whitefield) ashrams cannot become legal or de facto owners. Donors once used to become ‘owners’ - but only in name, not in reality. One cannot ever gets one's money back for any money paid for apartments in the Sai Baba ashrams, and one is totally at the mercy of their whims as to whether on can live in them at all.
Sathya Sai Baba on going slowly blind from "sensual pleasures" This supposed "universal world teacher" is a propagator of puritan howlers... that his students are taught such entirely fanciful things masquerading as "wisdom" is a travesty of truth and common sense.
Slander by Dr. G. Venkataraman & Joe Moreno Sathya Sai Baba's left-hand man - head of Radio Sai and member of the ruling Prashanthi Council, has attacked me on entirely false grounds, colluding with Joe Moreno, who promotes him and his web postings on his infamous blog 'Sathya Sai Baba - Love, Light & Spirituality' which contains more and more of the entire opposite to what its title implies (see in text box lower down here)
Sathya Sai Baba riches vs. spirituality Far from being in the tradition of the ownerless and strictly detached and selfless renunciate sannyasins of India, Sathya Sai baba is surrounded by massive ostentations luxuery, pomp galore on thrones and chariots and he controls a huge property portfolio and a multi-billion dollar mini-empire.
Authors who praise Sathya Sai Baba Many are the hagiographers who praise Sathya Sai Baba to the skies, but never blame him for a single thing and hide away all his glaring errors, contradictions, breaks of faith, plus all untoward events in his ashrams, including the many sexual abuse allegations and his being an assessory to the fact of murders

Sai Baba's life is not his message, he now suggests It is clear from his birthday discourse that he is trying hard to distance himself from his ‘outward manifestations’ in the ‘outside world’, as if those matters were irrelevant to his 'eternal Love'.

Sathya Sai Baba birthday magnificence The stark contrast between the pomp and ceremony in which Sathya Sai Baba revels and the tremendous poverty predominant in India's population is a scathing comment on the disgusting misuse of donated monies by Sathya Sai Baba.
India’s ‘Emperor’ Sai Baba. By His Lavish Spending Ye Shall Know Him Sathya Sai Baba has invited the world to come to him with empty hands, so he can fill them. If lucky they get some ash, while he has succeeded in getting many to come to him with their hands full of gold.
In a land of dire need, Sathya Sai rides on a golden chariot Sathya Sai Baba's birthday this year was coupled with a ritual yagna, which Sai Baba has claimed is his main contribution to saving humanity from catastrophe! The gang of aged priests do not look like people who do service to the poor other than chant and preach.
Sai Baba 83. Has Said He Will Rule World The 'Golden Age' which he has prophesied for the world has not materialised - but he has a Golden Chariot from which to lord it over others. The world is not listening to his promises, they are of a lunatic nature.
Sathya Sai Speaks. ‘I Do Not Like This Pomp’ While he lavishes money on anything that will draw attention to himself, he claims hypocritically that he does not like the pomp (of his birthday and many other festivals). Yet it is only he who causes them, presides over them, encourages his staff to arrange them!

Sathya Sai Baba bedroom murders in ‘The Week’ The original report in the Indian journal 'The Week' describing how the bedroom murder reconstruction was progressing at that early phase. A useful diagrammatic presentation helps sort out the facts.
The vague and unworkable nature of the abstract idea of Unity (with God, all beings etc.) General speculative ideas of unity can be highly misleading and are used when to set up unworkable ideals. Pretending to have the moral high ground, religionists moralise and would judge (and denigrate) the behaviour of unique individuals and neglect the diversity of life and culture. Like many universal religious and political abstractions, they lend themselves to authoritarian agendas to obtain social control and manipulative power
The nature of 'love' - as unconditional or limited? Examination of the concept of eternal, unconditional love, especially in spiritual and religious contexts - and how it is used in subtle ways as a means of control and manipulation - particularly in sects and cults
When Facts Fly The Coop of Massive Cover Up On the problems of many dissenting Sathya Sai devotees in making public their testimonies, so that they only contact those who can be trusted to strict confidentiality. The social networking that ensues serves to protect many of the unwary from getting involved with Sathya Sai Baba or his followers in denial.

Getting to the Truth of Sathya Sai Baba
Faced by concerted conscious deception, cover-up and deceit, considerable investigation is required to remove or dispel disinformation, propaganda and mere appearances concerning his actual behaviour of Sathya Sai Baba. One illustrative incident is portrayed and discussed
Puttaparthi and
Cover Up of Health Hazards That Puttaparthi is a disease trap - especially at the birthdays - is covered up as much as possible by Sai officials. The dreadful hygiene at his "Super-speciality" hospital was also revealed by an Australian specialist.

Sathya Sai Baba’s broad lunatic fringe
The lunatic fringe around Sathya Sai Baba is very considerable, as all long-term office-bearers know very well. Some examples are pathetic, some amusing too.
David Bailey's 'The Findings' its consequences
The chief whistle-blower on Sathya Sai Baba's deceptions and sex abuses in recent times was David Bailey with 'TheFindings' - which began a flood of testimonies, allegations and exposures of the deceits and frauds of this 'world avatar'.
Murder and repentence at Prashanthi Nilayam
Among the numerous reported murders at Sathya Sai Baba's ashrams through the decades, few are as remarkable as that perpetrated on Sai Baba's personally chosen gatekeeper Kumar. It is of the stuff of which horror films can be made.
IAS official and Sai devotee V. Ramnath libels Robert Priddy Despite his having been a lifelong official of the Indian Administrative Service, Mr. V. Ramnath attacks me - also using vile language - for having rejected his Lord and Master, Sathya Sai Baba, as a deceiver and abuser of faith and more besides. His diatribes demonstrate the ignorant superstition of many a Sai devotee.

Has Sathya Sai Baba Moved An Inch To Clean Up His Yard? The ailing Sathya Sai Baba has long said that he will first clean up his own ‘backyard’, India, before regenerating the whole of mankind prior to his death around 2022. Enough said!

Sathya Sai Baba's Greatest Achievements Looking at the track record of Sathya Sai Baba's social achievements, one sees that it falls very far below what he has promised since the 1960s for India and the world. The works - all done by followers (not by Sathya Sai baba himself, of course) are subject to many of the failures, faults and corruptions of many Indian social undertakings.
Overwhelming evidence and disillusion over Sathya Sai Baba More circumstantial evidence to add to the already overwhelming evidence of Sathya Sai Baba's alleged serial sexual molestations.
The World’s ‘Small’ and Forgotten Peoples
Apart from constant preaching that he will lead a spiritual revolution unparalled in mankind’s history, Sathya Sai Baba's impact on thinkers in the sciences, economics, politics, and so forth is microscopic, while his much flaunted projects in India and elsewhere are on a relatively vanishing scale in world terms.
When Disasters Overtake S. Sai Baba’s Promises
Given Sathya Sai Baba's failed promises to stay in perfect health and looking young, how can any reliance be put in his promises of 1. First saving India and 2. Saving the rest of the world - and all this within the span of his own lifetime?
Sathya Sai Baba descended to ’save India’ Despite his predictions of cleaning up India's problems, the poor suffer just as ever. The prominent Editor of Tehelka, S. Thakur, expert on Bihar's 100 millions, points out that the poor have not received any trickle-down benefit from India's recent boom.
Sai Baba says his close servants live for 100 years However the very closest long-term attendants including his official biographer, Prof. N. Kasturi, his editor of his journal V.K. Narasimhan, Kutumba Rao, his pujari Padmanabha Shastri, Kanhaia Jee, and many another died well before reaching 100 years.
Sathya Sai Baba's untruths about his never-failing perfect health He claims always to have total perfect health and freedom from illness, but numerous facts belie his claims, even his own words do.
Human Rights World Report 2008. India In Sore Shape
World report 2008 in marked conflict with Sathya Sai Baba’s promises made over many decades. He has said that he would first "save" India and then the rest of the world - this within his own lifetime.
Michael Goldstein's chilling remarks Goldstein states that no Sai baba devotees were victims of the 9/11 World Trade Centre terrorist attack. He claims "His Miraculous Intervention on behalf of His devotees is clearly evident… They were either late or never arrived…"
Sathya Sai Baba and India in-depth study Many issues covered, such as India's profound levels of corruption and superstition, other issues that thinking Indians have great concern about like the appalling record in human rights, casteism, endemic corruption, attitudes towards women etc.
Sathya Sai Baba - Proof of the pudding Does Sai Baba ever lift a finger to look after his food, clothing, rooms, cars or anything? Yet he claims he receives NO service whatever from anyone! Further he says he has always respected everyone - but he has attacked his critics with base lies and demonised them. He claims the whole world respects him, but which of his critics do? And how can billions who have never heard of him respect him?
‘World Avatar’ Sathya Sai Baba’s Troubled Trail
The eyes of faith are blind to the absurdities - or, if the oddities are pointed out to his believers, they will justify them in one way or another - for example, by citing his oft-stated saying “Love Me for My mystery”. The Procrustean bed works by both breadth and width.
Sathya Sai Lies - part one A new series documenting and commenting on lies and untruths told in his writings and/or discourses by Sathya Sai Baba, who alleges he always speaks only truth and is omniscient as to past, present and future! He has no money or properties - but then he speaks of giving money himself! He does not publicise himself, but he does so on a huge scale constantly. He claimed his critics take money to defame him, but none are known or shown to have every accepted money from anywhere.
Sathya Sai Baba Says He Dislikes Pomp
One of the world's most avid consumers of pomp and circumstance, golden thrones, sumptuous apartments - seen in countless photos on the Internet - claims he does not like it, but he either sets all of it in motions himself, or gives his blessing to such suggestions by others.
Miracle of the two Sai Babas How a gullible man from Australia thought he had experienced a miracle, and how this imaginary 'miracle' convinced another that Sathya Sai Baba is the Godhead he claims to be
Sathya Sai Baba vs. Richard Dawkins The standpoints of Sathya Sai Baba and the world-famous genius of genetics and biological evolution could hardly be more opposed. The essence of this difference is shown here.
Conversations with Rita and Robert Bruce - Joy Thomas' trials at Prashanthi Nilayam and more
Russia's war on Georgia and Sathya Sai's predictions In 2002, Sathya Sai Baba was recorded in a group interview as saying that all war would be at an end on earth by 2007, and that the Golden Age would begin then. The war between Russia and Georgia alone is more than enough proof of the fraudulence of his prophesy.
Smear Campaign against critics of Sathya Sai Baba Robert Priddy comments on attacks on critics of Sathya Sai Baba by internet libellers, a shameless copyright infringer and dirty trick exponent who use character assassination in the attempt to divert attention from the countless allegations of deceptions and crimes by Sathya Sai Baba.
Blind persons who seek cure from Sathya Sai Baba Reports circulated for decades that Sathya Sai Baba cures blindness have caused countless blind persons to travel to India hoping for a cure. V.K. Narasimhan, who was privy to everything in the ashrams while he lieved there for 1980 till 1998 told me that he had never seen anyone get a cure, nor met a blind person who had been cured by Sathya Sai Baba. He went blind in one eye himself, despite taking an operation on Sai Baba's advice and having 'holy ash' applied to his eye by this bogus Lord of Creation.
Prayers to 'Bhagavan' Sathya Sai Baba Driven by naive belief, Sai followers unthinkingly accept trivial everyday incidents as miracles just because they accept the false belief that Sathya Sai Baba causes everything that happens. They pray to him for advancement, peace in their families and to help them pass exams. Some hopes!
Experiences of Sathya Sai Baba devotees Simple people report miracles based on the simplest events, and - because they want to believe that they are protected in every detail of their lives by Sathya Sai Baba.
Concerning an Indian Administrative Service Officer, V. Ramnath Refutation with relevant details of a personal attack by V. Ramnath, an officer of the IAS who first warned me of covered-up facts about the 1993 murders in Sathya Sai Baba's bedroom.
CNN-IBN Reports Action On Corrupt Indian Gurus CNN-IBN carries a report by Sanal Edamaruku summarising some recent cases of sex abuse and other crimes by Indian swamis and gurus.
Visiting Sathya Sai Baba ashrams (photos) Information for visitors to Sathya Sai Baba's ashrams - facts that one cannot find out except by hard experience because the ashrams are always written about in most glowing and gushing terms - a self-censorship all devotees impose on themselves (so as not to be banned)
Avatars: Rama and Krishna reborn as Sathya Sai Baba? The Ramayana tells stories of deities and demons, and Sathya Sai Baba preaches that the stories about Rama are true - despite their fabulous and litersally incredible nature! He claims to be the reincarnation of both Rama and Krishna, as do so many other gurus.
Sathya Sai Baba identified with man-lion Narasimha As if to convince villagers of his nature as an 'avatar', young Sai Baba reportedly appeared most convincingly as if he were a lion-man (like the avatar Narasimha). He has also put on raging countenances to correct or cow his servitors, and a strong element of fear is evident in those close to him.
‘God’s’ Ex-Shah, Indulal Shah In The Hindu, June 10, 1993, it was reported: “When press persons met Mr. Indulal Shah, chief functionary of the Sri Sathya Sai World Trust, he said, ‘the matter is purely internal and we do not wish to have any law enforcement agency investigating into it.’”
Sathya Sai confirmed ten avatars Though claiming to be The Universal teacher of this Age, Sathya Sai Baba preaches the Hindu belief in God incarnating in human form. This is totally contrary to Islam, which admits of no representations or embodiments of Allah, and also to Christians, for whom only Jesus is a Divine personage, the Son of God - not God as such?
The BBC and the 1993 murders The notorious murders in Sathya Sai Baba's bedroom and the criminal investigations that were quashed and covered up at the highest level of government will not go away.
Undisputsable facts about Sathya Sai Baba by BBC The chief facts of importance in exposing the deception and fraud by Sathya Sai Baba by the BBC in the documentary 'The Secret Swami' are listed and explained, with links to all relevant transcripts and documentation.
Sai Baba miracles Are miracles - such as the Shirdi Sai Baba statuette in Bangalore which supposedly opened an eye - what they seem. Is belief in miracles anything more than belief? How do they improve the world or the person who believes in them to solve the real problems faced?
Sathya Sai Baba Educare teaching The oft-repeated supreme aim of Sathya Sai Baba's "spiritual teaching" is to cause the mind to die! Literally, erasing all sensory impressions and knowledge of the world in favour of a supposed omniscient understanding of the entire universe. This idea is behind attempts to attract followers to Sai aba through child and youth 'human values' education or so-called 'Educare'.
The Two Sai Baba’s and Miracles. (Intro) Miracles and supraphenomena are commonly reported around the globe in connections both with religions or without. What we take for granted are the vast achievements of human beings without miracles, which far outshine apparent so-called 'miracles', none of which have been scientifically controlled or validated.
Legalistic Abuse: Catholic Church And Sathya Sai Organization The Pope's recent apology about sexual abuses in the Catholic Church while visiting Australia has not been matched by Sathya Sai Baba... who is most widely accused of sexual abuses of young males.
Unique Shirdi Sai photo - privately owned At an orphanage in Sri Ranga Patna, near Mysore, a man called Halagappa has a photo of Shirdi Sai Baba which is apparently unique (i.e not available in public). He attributes the phenomena of ash and nectar are miracles granted by Sai Baba, but there are many good reasons for doubting them.
Sathya Sai Baba as the Vedic Trinity: Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva The excessive claims of Sathya Sai Baba are without any bounds whatever. He says he is all Deities rolled into one, the Father who sent Jesus, God Incarnate, Shiva and Shakti in full manifestation and much more.
Miracles vs. Magic - Sathya Sai Baba Vir Sanghvi, a leading modern journalist in India, challenges Sathya Sai Baba miracles and his devotees denials of the overwhelming sex abuse allegations against him.
International awards and Sathya Sai Baba Sathya Sai Baba has received no International awards, but his devotees in the Indian Government submitted his name to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee. However, his track record is so soiled in so many ways - and is so well publicised - that his chances for that are nil.
Sai Baba's Mission to Save India Despite having promised long since to clean up India - before saving all humanity, Sai Baba is still worshipped by India's top politicians, though India is still a land of major calamities! AIDS is but one of the huge problems Sathya Sai baba has never addressed.
Sai Baba's health - miracle or self-sacrifice? The second hip fracture Sai Baba suffered (in 2003) was operated but caused him to be stuck to a wheelchair for the remainder of his days. Untruths flourished so as not to lose followers and to cover-up the scandal: that the omnipotent avatar could not heal himself.
Sathya Sai miracle of transformation of India? Sai Baba has long promised to clean up India and solve its sufferings and problems before he dioes likewise for the whole world. He has not long to live, but India is still suffering the direst of calamities, among which are AIDS, extreme poverty, killings and violence for racial, religious, sexual and physical abuse of children etc.
Self-documented Folly of India’s Would-be God Huge discrepancies - true schoolboy howlers with colossal historical/religious error - are found in the "Omniscient" Sathya Sai Baba's published discourses. This is a man of many "stories" indeed!
Sathya Sai Baba teaching on sexuality Total abstension from sex by all unmarried persons is Sai Baba's requirement. Minimum sex in marriage is advised.
Otherwise, this self-proclaimed Universal Teacher has nothing to say about sexuality - a fundamental human drive which raises countless social and moral issues. Homosexuality and AIDS are totally taboo subjects for what must be obvious reasons (to non-believers).
Sathya Sai Baba Bans But Permits Foot Touching in 2001, Sathya Sai Baba said that his practise of 60 years, of offering what he deems to be his Holy Feet to be touched or kissed, should stop. Because it causes a sense of distance between man and God (i.e. him!)
Sai Baba promised Rs. 100,000 to orphan parents Sathya Sai Baba was amazed to hear that an Indian mother took her own life because she could not support her child. Where has he been all along? In ashrams like Prashanthi Nilayam (Home of Cloud Cuckoos), protected from the real world and living without a care, well provided for and insulated from ordinary people, surrounded by yea-savers. Did he hand any money out? Who could ever tell!
Shirdi Sai Baba's name hi-jacked by Sathya There is research showing the difference in values and teachings between Shirdi Sai Baba and that of Sathya Sai Baba, who has usurped his name and to do so made unfounded claims that Shirdi Sai predicted he would be reborn as Sathya. This is rejected by the main Shirdi Sai Sanasthan.
Sathya Sai Baba's foreknowledge of events? How did Sathya Sai Baba know in advance, as he has stated in a public discourse he did, of the coming murders of six persons in his own bedroom? An overview of the infamous 1993 incident where four devotees were murdered in cold blood in his bedroom by a blackmailed Puttaparthi police.
Sathya Sai Baba as ‘The Divine Mother’ Shocking evidence in a hagiography by a life-long devotee of Sathya Sathya Sai Baba on his draconian punishment of her son while a baby boy - relentless, frequent beatings!
Sathya Sai Baba Bans But Permits Foot Touching After 60 years of offering his supposed 'holy feet' to be touched and kissed, Sathya Sai baba realised that it cause a sense of seperation between himself and others! So he banned it, but still permitted it to happen despite that. Typical of his complete disunity of word and action!
Undiscovered Photo of Shirdi Sai Baba Interesting photo of the so-called 'saint of Shirdi' has surfaced. Shirdi Sai Baba must not be identified with Sathya Sai Baba, who has with some success usurped his name and fame by taking the name Sai Baba.
Sai Baba's miraculous omnipresence? A Sathya Sai devotee's experience of a miracle of omnipresence by Sathya Sai Baba is easily explained. Some 'cold reading' was probably involved, which is demonstrated superbly by the UK illusionist Derren Brown.
After Leaving A Cult. Or ‘Moving On’ Barry Pittard considers the psychological questions raised by those who become disafected of a guru or leave a cult. Where these people are non-selfish voluntary workers, they are inclined to find new outlets for their services, sometimes in other spiritual organizations, sometimes not.
Sai Baba promised vast miracle soon There is not so long left for Sathya Sai Baba - at age 82 - to perform his greatest miracles as promised - that is, to life an entire mountain range and to fly through the sky unaided.
Global disaster predicted - or not? Among the many rumours Sai Baba starts in interviews (demanding it be kept private) are numerous predictions of a coming global disaster. Despite his cautions, he surely knew that many would spread the information - and he had reports of it spreading. yet he waited over a decade before having to refute this - in the best known prophesy case.
Sathya Sai Baba World Cult At Odds With Itself The erosion of the Sathya Sai Baba cult from within - the sigs of the inevitable decline of its influence and some reason for this.
Sathya Sai Baba miraculously 'shows' 10 avatars Fabulous, unconfirmable stories are related as sheer fact by Sai Baba biographers Prof. N. Kasturi and Ra. Ganapati. Sathya Sai Baba - himself claiming to be an avatar, is claimed to have shown all the former Indian avatars to people in visions and 'illusions'.
Professor Anil Kumar, Sathya Sai Baba's 'left-hand' man Sathya Sai Baba sets the strictest moral standards as regards sexuality - no sex outside marriage, chastity while unmarried, minimum sex even within marriage. Yet he has a philanderer as one of his closest servitors and his interpreter, Professor Anil Kumar!
Sai Baba seen in ritual fire (photo) An example of a supposed 'miraculous manifestation' of Sathya Sai Baba in the ritual fire (homa) to which offerings to the gods are made by Hindu devotees. It requires imagination and belief to see it as anything special!
‘Secret Swami’ Cult Recruits At Prime Public Venues So as to recruit new followers and members, big money is spent on promotion at expensive venues. This sect that Sai Baba promised would cover the universe, however, has not made noticeable progress since he was exposed.
Believing in Sai (photo) and spiritual growth Sathya Sai Baba's claimed omniscience makes some followers lose all sense and reason in favour of faith in him. But simple explantions lie behind many - if not all - of his supposed 'miracles'
A Strong India Can Bless The World Barry Pittard on Mahatma Gandhi - India's greatest inspirational leader
Shirdi Sai Saint’s Fame Spirited By Puttaparthi The hi-jacking of the revered saint of Shirdi's name - Sai Baba - by Sathya Narayana Raju of Puttaparthi has been questioned widely, such as by the scholar Marianne Warren.
Sathya Sai Baba - amazing sun miracle photographed? Sathya Sai Baba is presented in a photograph as holding the sun in a space between his two hands. A close look shows that some kind of double exposure is involved, such as is possible with almost any normal graphic editing software.
Sathya Sai Baba as 'Divine Mother - photos Sathya Sai Baba has a long history of cross-dressing, not least wearing saris, and even today wears a more female -looking attire than male clothes. The many sexual allegations against him indicate that this is not a coincidence.
Shirdi Sai Saint’s Fame Spirited By Puttaparthi Sathya Sai Baba - originally called Sathya Narayana Raju - usurped the name of the famous saint of Shirdi, Sai Baba, when he was 17 years old. The hi-jacking of a revered saint of Shirdi has been questioned widely, such as by the scholar Marianne Warren.
Outright defenders of sexual abuse by Sathya Sai Baba Abject rationalisations by Sai devotees of crude sexual abuses they attribute to Sathya Sai Baba. These defenders of sexual abuse have had pages on-line for years, but the Sathya Sai Organization has not commented, but their pages are circulated within the Sai movement.
Ex-king Gyanendra of Nepal & Sathya Sai Baba Two different persons are worshipped as the Incarnation of Lord Vishnu... ex-king Gyanendra of Nepal and Sathya Sai Baba of Puttaparthi. Both are suspect, both have powerful accusations against them. The former murdered King of Nepal - himself seen as Lord Vishnu - and his Queen are said to have worshipped Sai Baba.
Sathya Sai water projects The projects to bring water to deprived areas and to Chennai were financed by Sai Baba followers worldwide. Though fruitful, much waste, corruption and unpredicted developments occurred, which it is now taboo to mention in the Sai movement, or even in the Indian press.
Miracle story - Sathya Sai Baba Sathya Sai Baba is credited with a miraculous healing of his fractured leg - yet all the indications are that there was not fracture - even his own statement to that effect! Professor Anil Kumar - his interpreter and true believing blind follower relates the old story yet again.
Sathya Sai Baba Miracles - with photos As with many of the amazing Sathya Sai Baba miracle stories, they do not stand up to the slightest independen investigation. Not only has not one of them been tested and found genuine by any independent scientists, but fraud has frequently also been shown to be involved, as in the rescue of an airplace over the Atlantic ocean.
How many million Sai devotees? Why the unreasonable fixation on grossly exaggerated numbers of adherents of Sathya Sai Baba? It proves nothing whatever as to goodness or truth - but is largely the result of indoctrination and entrapment through hearsay, clever propaganda and other techniques.
Sai Baba's self-glorification and his disparagement of others On Christmas Day, 2000, Sathya Sai Baba angrily denounced his critics with abuse and lies, while congratulating himself on his own achievements
The Sai Cult Trumps At Law, but is just a ‘Bookshop’ The Alaya Rahm case was wirhdrawn due to a legal technicality, there was no body in the US to sue, and Sathya Sai Baba could not be sued outside India, where he has government and Supreme Court protection.
Sathya Sai Organization damage-limitation after BBC exposure Organized attempts to done down the presentation of Sathya Sai Baba's miracles and excessive claims. Also, after the BBC documentary 'The Secret Swami', Dr. Goldstein set about strict controls of what members of the organization could tell the media (see his instructions).
BBC Hidden Camera in ‘Secret Swami’. Ethical? In 'The Secret Swami' the team had to film with a hidden camera to get the elusive chairman of a world organization, Dr Michael Goldstein of Covena, California, to face grave questions. This exposed his true nature as anything but sweet and softly spoken.
Deception against Sathya Sai Baba Sathya Sai Baba was roundly deceived by a Swedish imposter, Dr. Michael Nobel.
Both his vaunted 'omniscience' and any plain common sense he has left failed when Sathya Sai Baba proudly announced how his own majesty had attracted Dr. Nobel, a far relative of Alfred (who was later denounced officially for announcing he would award four new Nobel Prizes). But Sai Baba did not realise with whom he was dealing - and employing
Sathya Sai Baba lack of awards In hope of getting prestigious international award, Sai Baba and/or his officials jumped the gun. He has received no important awards so far, nor does he stand a chance, it appears, neither for the coveted Nobel Peace Prize, nor yet an Asturias Award.
Sathya Sai Baba as Nobel Peace Prize Candidate Sathya Sai Baba got excited by the visit of Dr. Michael Nobel (the great grandnephew of Alfred Nobel), thinking he might help get the Nobel Peace Prize for him. However, the Swedish Nobel Foundation complained of Dr. M. Nobel's attempts at meddling in the Nobel awards and threatened legal action.
Sathya Sai Baba official website deceit exposed In an attempt to deceive followers, the Sathya Sai authorities reposted an article in an archive on their official website - an entry which they were earlier Having been forced by the Duke of Edinburgh's representatives to remove bogus claims of a Duke of Edinburgh award to Sathya Sai Baba from their official website, the Sathya Sai authorities waited and sneakily reposted the article in an archive on their official website. Such attempts to cover up serious (and laughable) errors and wilfully deceive followers and visitors to their sites are not uncommon. No debate or comment which is not 100% positive is ever allowed on any official website or document.
Study of ideas of eternal, unconditional, selfless love How the idea of love is 'sublimated' to an otherworldly realm and become anti-life and a subtle means to manipulate and control people both by secular interests and even more so by religions and cults.
Recorded talk with V. K.Narasimhan during 70th birthday of Sai Baba VKN's view on numbers attending (FAR below Sai Baba's estimates) and on his having to edit out Sai errors from the journal, plus Sai Baba's private directions to Central Coordinators concerning the organization and the price of rooms for delegates to his conference, who were originally invited for free logding etc.
Sai Baba's teachings and education in academic isolation Through political clout, Sathya Sai Baba got his Institute of Higher Learning recognised as an University. However, the whole social and academic environment is based more on fixed values and indoctrination than any kind of educational research or dialogue, being a law unto itself isolated from the world community of open debate.
The Dalai Lama and Sathya Sai Baba Systematic comparison of the personalities of the 14th Dalai Lama and the Indian supposed God-guru Sathya Sai Baba, examining their circumstances and behaviour, their personal qualities and public relations. Further, the facts are summarised in sixteen brief questions on my blog here.
Joseph. Early Sathya Sai Baba Whistle blower When devotees of Sathya Sai Baba finally bite the bullet and understand that the sex abuse allegations are true, they begin to recall incidents which shocked them at the time but which their powerful faith enabled them to rationalise or even simply push aside. Such is the case of Joseph, who Barry knew - a very shocking treatment by Sai Baba's 'Seva Dal' acting as true goondas to suppress a whistleblower.
Inescapable and undeniable recorded facts in the documentary by the BBC Though there are some small inaccuracies in the 1 hour film (which one fanatical, obsessive defender of Sai Baba - even while believing him to be a sexual abuser - disingenuously claims are major flaws!), they are of absolutely minimal importance compared to the overriding facts that are simply recorded for all to see and hear.
Conny Larsson is interviewed in 'Cyprus Today' He is a best-selling author in Sweden and tells about sex abuse by Sathya Sai Baba, and about his new book about to be published 'Flower Power,The Beatles, Maharishi and I''. See also Conny Larsson interviewed in 'Cyprus Times' where he recounted his extraordinary life story in brief.
NEW Sathya Sai Baba: Questionable Stories and Claims. Part 2 Blatantly incorrect, capricious, misleading, based on erroneous beliefs and unfettered imagination are some of the characteristics of the stories told by Sathya Sai Baba as if they were factual truth.
Sai Baba Researchers’ Huge Debt To Scholar Brian D. Steel By winnowing this enormous mass of varied documentation currently available about the guru Sathya Sai Baba, his 60-year spiritual Mission and his organisation, the former follower and author of a major Sai Baba bibliography - Brian Steel - makes it possible for anyone more readily able to separate fact from fantasy and research from propaganda in the interests of a fair evaluation of the complex Sathya Sai Baba story.
The Sathya Sai Organization’s Damage-limitation efforts Documentation of the Sathya Sai Organization's disingenuous efforts to hide the most megalomaniacal proclamations of their 'Divine Lord Incarnate' and to spin his profile for the consumption of more educated people.
The Dark Underside of some prominent Hindu gurus Bogus gurus or swamis are many in India today. Though bringing them to justice is hindered by police and judicial corruption in India (as reported by The Times - see below), not all gurus are criminals, sex abusers or involved in murder. However, more and more are being charged and convicted by some Indian authorities. See also The Indian Guru Issue On India Interacts
‘The Times’ reports on gurus, sex, money, power In the last two decades, many Indian gurus have been convicted of murders,
sex abuses, embezzlement, swindle, bogus healings and fraudulent 'miracles'. The Times reported on the latest example of this tendency, in Kerala.

Supercool Indian Gurus Under Fire
Looks at some of the super gurus who have come under serious attack for crimes, are indicted or are already imprisoned.
Sai Baba - mankind to blame for every natural disaster
Blaming natural disasters on scientists who explore nature to increase their own "unrestricted enjoyment", Sathya Sai Baba makes himself a laughing stock - an ignoramus who claims to know everything without exception.
Burma cyclone and China earthquake - Sai Baba's views
Top Indian politicians - PMs and Presidents - worship Sai Baba, who claims ALL natural catastrophes are caused by the bad conduct of mankind (cyclones, earthquakes and tsunamis!) How can they even remotely quietly condone such ignorance and religious superstition?
Sai Baba World Cult Leaders Fail To Meet Concerns on Libel The Sathya Sai Organization singularly failed, year after year, to meet deep concerns of many former devotees and equally failed to act on a recent open letter to the Prashanthi Council about their condoning libel and character asassination on a large scale.
Dangers to the lives of critics of Sathya Sai Baba Murders, murder attempts, burglaries and criminal sabotage have been used against critics of Sathya Sai Baba. The unaccountable Sathya Sai institutions and organization do not even condemn these clandestine methods by those who defend them.
Tehelka.com on Godmen in Andhra Pradesh The Indian website Tehelka-com published an article about sex abuse remarks on the similaries between various Andhra Pradesh godmen and how they are protected from prosecution, not least Sathya Sai Baba.
Photos of Sathya Sai Baba - Shirdi Sai Baba Comparison of well-known photographs of Shirdi Sai Baba and Sathya Narayana Raju (who took the name Sathya Sai Baba) give a graphic comparison of the genuineness of their practise of personal renunciation.

Information on Sai's prediction of his death by Ratan Lal, and other incidents
Sathya Sai Baba: Questionable Stories and Claims, by Brian Steel. Part 1 Ignoring all this familiar belief-centred information, concentrate on valuable insights into SSB’s self presentation to his devotees and the world, mainly in the 35 volumes of his translated and edited Telugu Discourses (Sathya Sai Speaks), published and widely marketed amongst devotees by the Sathya Sai Organization over the past 50 years. You may be surprised...
Sai Baba on wise and mad monkey minds
Sathya Sai Baba picks on interviewees to say they have worse than 'monkey' minds, but 'mad monkey minds'. He wants no one to see, hear or speak anything bad ("evil") about anyone or anything, but really he means about himself (he speaks ill of others himself)! All this is part of his cover-up activity.
The Goa murder case cover-up, and similar events concerning Sathya Sai Baba
The Goa murder case is still unsolved due to protection by police authorities of a top person - which is a known proven failing in various states of India, not least Andhra Pradesh where Sathya Sai Baba escapes prosecution due to top level protection.
Lunatic Devotee claims he is Prema Sai
Another amusing farce around Sathya Sai Baba - the premature birth of his next incarnation, so-called Prema Sai Baba, in the form of a divine Internet surfer!
Sathya Sai Baba’s Unique Avatarhood Hi-jacked
Having proclaimed himself the only 'full' (i.e. 'poorna') avatar of this Iron Age of Kali, Sathya Sai Baba is now claimed to have blessed a book by a woman who claims to be the Shakthi half of the poorna avatar! These absurd and megalomaniac claims are making Indian leaders who worship the 'Sai avatar' yet more of a laughing stock than ever.
More sexual abuse evidence against Sathya Sai Baba
Yet another reliable witness tells of a warning he received about Sathya Sai Baba from Swami Muktananda after adjudicating in a case where two of his young boy disciples were sexually abused by Sathya Sai Baba! Yet another instance is also reported.
Dr. Jack Hawley - defender of the indefensible, business consultant turned religious cult indoctrinator
Writer of pseudo-management, pseudo-religious tracts whose dealings with the truth leave a lot to be desired
Scan from the Indian Skeptic 15-03-2008. The notorious kidney theft carried out at Sathya Sai Baba's 'Super-specialty' Hospital in Puttaparthi is evidently being suppressed by the Andhra Pradesh judiciary, which has many Sai Baba devotees.
The British Press on the BBC’s ‘The Secret Swami’ film
Few documentaries that the BBC has commissioned in recent years have received such unanimous praise from commentators in the British media as 'The Secret Swami' - exposing the sexual abuses and other deceptions Sathya Sai Baba has visited upon his followers.
Evidence of a mendacious activist on the Internet
Links to pages showing how a pro-Sai activist working full time to defend the Sathya Sai Organization and Sai Baba through character assassination of all his many critics, including many alleging victims of Sathya Sai Baba's sexual abuse and independent commentators
LINGAM EMERGENCES AT SHIVARATHRI -'THE LINGODBHAVA'
Summary of the supposed significance of the lingodbhava and an examination of evidence, with video clips
SAI'S PROMISES OF ETERNAL LIBERATION
Not least to those who saw lingams emerge from his mouth at Shivarathri. However, Sathya Sai Baba promised Dr. John Hislop, his leader of the Sathya Sai Organization in the USA for decades, that he would attain 'liberation' from the wheel of life. Years later he told him to his dismay that he has to be reborn again. This is but one example of Sai baba's broken promises.
V.P.B. Nair. B.Premanand. R.Priddy: Sai Baba Bedroom Killings
Media, institutional, academic and other third party investigators are being made aware of the sheer extent of the evidence of criminal cover up by successive Indian governments over the years of the Puttaparthi police killings in Sathya Sai Baba’s bedroom
Banking on Heaven - the sectarian snare
The promise of heaven (salvation, liberation etc.) is so powerful as to blind followers to moral values, especially those who are tired of life and hope for a better world in the afterlife!. There are many similarities between the Warren Steed Jeffs polygamous cult and the Sathya Sai Baba sect, such as alleged sexual crimes by the figureheads, indoctrination, male chauvinism and more.
Will India clean up its Augean police and political stables
The Indian police and government's attempts to quash the murder of Scarlett MacKeown sends the same signal long observed, cover-ups to the highest levels in India, none more successful - and yet notoriously damaging - than that of the found young men executed by police in Sai Baba's bedroom.
The Sai Organization’s ritual ‘interaction’ revealed
In an attempt to create the illusion that the Sathya Sai Organization listens to its members and replies, a bogus 'interactive panel' demonstrates in its selectivity and non-answering techniques how cultist it really is.
Cult Exposure. By Their Documents Ye Shall Know Them
Barry Pittard's explanation on how the whole notion of interaction among Sai Baba followers in his organization can be seen as false by any reader not enmeshed by cultic (non-) thinking.
Personal libel as an attempt to avert serious criticism
To avert attention from the grave facts about Sathya Sai Baba and his Organization, its supporters saturate the Internet with attacks on critics, attempted character assassination on a large scale, web pages and blogs full of purposive side issues, nitpicking details and false statements galore of a very libelous nature.
Famous editor confronted Sathya Sai Baba
One of Sai Baba's closest contacts with the 'outside world' of India - famed chief editor V.K. Narasimhan, contradicted him over advaitic teaching (among other things). Having died in 2000, Narasimhan left Sai Baba without a single realistic corrective to his excesses of ignorance and ill-judgement.
Earlier postings: Catholic priest unfrocked for Sai Baba worship |
The self-proclaimed Sai-loving Scotsman turned Indian, William Bill Aitken, wrote a book about Sai Baba, which has been reviewed most adequately by Brian Steel and found sorely wanting... Three articles on Bill Aitken and his relation to Sathya Sai Baba, the truth and other issues are found here: |
Some of Sathya Sai Baba's students are making fun of him - see here. The author and ex-follower, Brian Steel, has posted by far the most comprehensive bibliography on Sathya Sai Baba so far available - An Annotated Bibliography for Research on Sathya Sai Baba (in Three Parts) . He has just extended this major task by adding a third part of the Bibliography. All is impressively accurate and well documented, with fullest possible details of publication place and date and other identifications. It is also neutrally inclusive of both all Sai Baba pro-Sai literature/hagiography and the critical literature. Timothy Conway Ph.D. refutes an aggressive and vituperative cult defender's absurd, concocted claims definitively! The contents of infamous Dr. John Hislop's sex abuse cover-up letters were NEVER altered... and only Hislop had the original, because he sent out only xerox copies of them to centre leaders in the USA, with instructions to destroy them after reading. Nonetheless one set of copies survived (at the San Francisco Sathya Sai Centre).
It was later announced by the ashram authorities that the miracle was "postponed., No doubt this try at damage limitation will mollify many of the blind believers in Sathya Sai Baba. However, one lunatic blogger has claimed that no such things were promised! Why did hundreds of thousands flock to the airport then? Was it not announced from the veranda by Sai Baba's very close servitor and translator Anil Kumar? Why was it later also officially announced as having been "postponed"? Read all about the big blunder:- Thousands disappointed as Sai Baba’s ‘moon miracle’ fails G. Venkataraman – Chief propagandist for ‘God’ G. Venkataraman is keen to imprint on his readers that, in studying anything about science, they are observing “The Glory of God”. This is, of course, an assumption and is not even a testable hypothesis, being a vague (undefined and indefinite) conception which is entirely non-operational. |
