Sai Baba and the sexual abuse charges (not to mention the murder charges)

[natselrox]

Fascinating story, Sid! I'll remember this one.

Btw, why are there so many mutant versions of this SaiBaba? Who was the original one? The Star-Plus one?

He is the "original" one: http://www.bloggerspoint.com/wp-content/...i-baba.jpg

He was more of a "love, peace" hippy.

And this is the original of the frauds: http://api.ning.com/files/Jx8KmtZz6SsO5w...i_Baba.jpg

Edit: and of course, the reason why there are so many Sai Babas is because the original fraud gained so much wealth and deluded supporters apart from a businessman-politician nexus. Who doesn't want that? :P

Haha! The first one comes on Star Plus. And my aunt watches that shit.

[siddharth]

Oh is it! Haha.. yeah his followers have really made stuff up about him and deified him.

Sid,
Tell me your dad laughed mightily right there, and set the story straight.

mvish,
What evidence will it take to convince you? Are you even open to the idea that you may be wrong?
The rationalists are quite open to the idea that they may be wrong.. and James Randi's 1-million$ scheme demonstrates that. If Mr Sathyanarayana Raju can face that challenge, millions of rationalists/atheists will switch over to your side, and we can all be buddies, and laugh over this stupid argument.

I can assure you he laughed inwardly. But laughing out loud would have meant getting beaten up by the deluded masses who revere him as "god"! Don't forget that's one ashram where even murders have taken place in the past.
