Internationally powerful and influential Indian
mult-billionaire guru Sathya Sai Baba faces shocking allegations by two
national broadcasters, BBC (UK) and DR (Denmark)
(PRWEB) September 30, 2004 -- India's most famous - and
infamous - guru Sathya Sai Baba is now being exposed to millions
worldwide by two television documentaries:
Highly acclaimed by British media critics, the BBC's 'The Secret Swami,'
which aired on cable and satellite to many countries last Saturday and
Sunday June 25 and 26, 2004, is expected to go worldwide on free-to-air
broadcasters towards the end of 2004. It first aired on BBC2, June 17,
2004.
This documentary is showcased with still photos and video clips at: http://www.saipetition.net/sai%20baba.htm
Denmark's national television and radio broadcaster DR first showed its
documentary 'Seduced by Sai Baba' in January 30, 2002, where municipal
authorities acted against the Sathya Sai Organisation, recalling the
sale to it of the famous Arresødal castle in Copenhagen, which was to
have been used as a Sai International School.
Several litigation threats by top Sai Baba leaders in Denmark against DR
failed. 'Seduced by Sai Baba' has had several repeats in Denmark and
Norway. It screened in Australia February 14, 2004, with litigation
threats by Sai Baba's Australian leader against SBS also failing. SBS
has just confirmed their intention to re-screen it soon.
In many countries, civic, religious, university and other institutions
are refusing to link with the worldwide Sathya Sai Organisation's
projects that attempt to put it in the mainstream.

miracles to be very credible indeed. He will also confirm that the State
Department has named Sathya Sai Baba to the BBC as the subject of its
concerns.
