Is Sri Sathya Sai baba(of Puttaparthi) a God, a Fraud or just a good human being ?

I am not talking about Sai baba of Shirdhi. I am talking about Sai baba of Puttaparthi.

Please don't take offence,i just want to know what you think about it. India TV has been showing a lot against Sai Baba of Puttaparthi.They have shown some video clips in which Sai baba was shown doing some cheating.

Is he really blessed with some powers ?

Or he's just a fine magician?

Are all those chamatkaars done by him real or they're just haath ki safai?

What do you have to say about that?

If you have some time, then search for this video 'BBC VIDEO, SECRET SWAMI SAI BABA' in Google video and watch it.

Then come back here and tell us what do you think about it.

Thanks.

    I understand this can be quite confusing to you, especially since those who claim he is a god-man and those who claim he is just a fraud come up with convincing arguments.

    Since camcorders became common, SSB has been caught cheating several times. Also, a lot of accusations claiming that he is a gay predator have been brought against him recently. His supporters have tried their best to discredit all of these accusers, but their defense is pathetic at best.

    The Indian government refuses to investigate him since many prominent political figures, judges etc. are his devotees. He also brings revenue into the country, so the government is not about to investigate his case any time soon. This is actually criminal on the part of the government, as so many lives have been destroyed by this so called god man. Most of his staunch supporters have much to lose financially if he is discredited, hence they keep mum and perpetuate the fraudulence, A whole financial kingdom is built around him- so you can expect his followers to fight tooth and nail to try and clear him of every accusation, so that the party will carry on, and there will be more people gaining ( financially ), than those that lose. It's all a business, with hardly any spirituality present in it. The religious material he delivers are mostly plagiarized from other sources, and he uses all the tricks in the book to cheat the simple minded and those in such deep delusion, that they will still support him even if 100% convincing proof is shown to them that he is a fraud.

    If you are a devotee of Sathya Saibaba then he is Bhagwan for you and people like you. For others he is a Hand tricker. Why you want certificate from public? Spirituality highly achievers are not at all interested to be popular like the way these so called Babas are behaving. After all acceptance of Bhagawanhood, is a pampering of Ego and involving in worldly acts, from which true spiritual person labors to give up and liberate. Those who can not liberate own self, how can they are expected to liberate devotees like you? So non believers in saibaba never bothers to check whether he is bhagawan or not. Let him enjoy fruits of his own deeds. For you in particular, when you say no offencive answer, does it mean that any answer against your belief and faith is an offensive answer? Kindly do not ask questions in such case.

    He is not god. I support u for that ,but he is a god for poor people. In satya sai super specialty hospital(Bangalore) every thing(like heart bypass operation, kidney transplant, lung operation ,brain surgery) is free for Poor people. In 2008, 2 million people in the state of Odisha were affected by floods. As a relief measure, Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organization, has built 699 houses as a part of their first phase in 16 villages by March 2009

    I have lost my husband, I was the saddest woman at one point..Baba came in my dream few times, the last time He came he said to me child do not worry everything will be fine..He said 3 times in my dream.. have faith, i experienced miracles and so many positive changes. I am considered as such a bad person, my life started to change, I know He was guiding me and my children.. i am a very calm person now totally to who I was before...In my belief He is A GOD, i got ash coming out from His pictures and what ever i think He can give me the answer even without praying (still in my mind, i dont have to say it out to Him) plus so many incidents took place..No doubt He is a God, he can be anywhere whenever needed and I know He is with us everyday guiding us showing us the right pathways..I am glad I was shown to Baba in my life..I was such an angry, never know how to react as a person pretty much.. and considered as low scored student, finished school when i was only 13..He came in my dream holding my hand writing on a piece of paper since then I started to read which i used to hate so much, and here i am now doing degree In Nursing In Australia..He is a God, no doubt..Om sai ram..

    The adverse publicity against Baba by the electronic media is all one sided and do not project the reality. If one believes the Hindu faith the existence of rebirth and God descending on earth in human form to uplift the mankind then they can understand whether the Baba in question is God in human form or an ordinary saint like any other. Shiridi Sai Baba reborn as Sathya Sai Baba, and millions of his devotees believe Him to be so. According to him ,he is going to take birth again as Prema Sai in karnataka after His present earthly sojourn till his 96 the year. He is an avathar of God like Rama, Krishna, no doubt. For non believers any amount of explanations will not convince them, they should experience then only can understand.

    Satyta Sai Baba is a God

    If seeing is belief, then u have to see, visit Puttaparthi, If listening is belief, listen to him directly than any others, If experiencing is belief, feel him, contemplate and listen to your inner voice. Media is like listening, seeing and imagining thru someone's eyes, that someone can be good/bad/ignorant/manipulated and what not, You are believing in Christianity Jesus, by reading bible written by someone, same with Quran/Muslims, same with Hindu, but Baba is God or not , leave it aside, just listen to his direct voice thru discourses/his messages, no harm in listening, right, always better than blinding following Bible/Quran written by someone, since u need video/audio/written things for belief right, I mean first hand/direct communication, then experience, Baba never limited to any one religion, his voice is direct as if from God's Mouth . God is not somewhere only in Baba/Jesus/Mohammed they just came to make us realize our true inner self. Do some good thing/service, and feel it, same do some wrong/bad thing and experience. For one you feel some inner happiness and for other you feel guilty. We cannot rule out the existence of God, if we do that, it means u r ruling out your own existence, which is not possible, because we are in the illusion of mind/physical body. You need guidance, take help of his direct voice, and then experience. God/Allah be with you all. It is so easy to say, u are wrong/false/cheat/fraud etc, Can you prove what is Real Truth, Is Day/Light/ truth is real or Night/Dark/Ignorance is real, both are two sides of same coin.
