Sathya Sai Baba 84th Birthday Celebrations. Will 21st Century India
Tolerate The Shame That Is Puttaparthi?

amiss.
QUOTES
"... We know, too, via strong former devotee
contacts with those who have roles at high levels, that, though
there are those in foreign service who genuinely regret it,
diplomats have been told by their political masters “not to rock the
boat” on the Sathya Sai Baba issue. This is actually a great
disservice to India, because Sathya Sai Baba is NOT India!"
"A great many Indians do not in substantive ways –
even though they acknowledged that his devotees often do good social
works - respect Sathya Sai Baba and his extremely undemocratic and
unaccountable cult. By way of confirmation, let any traveller to
India keep his or her ears open or even politely pose the question
to many of her citizens. That simple test is almost enough in
itself. Many well-informed Indians do not appreciate that, at a time
when vast efforts are being made on many fronts to bring India
into the best of 21st century practice, that, buffoon-like, Sathya
Sai Baba flourishes unbounded aspirations to create a Ram-Rajarate,
as it were, in their country - far more opulent the ‘Glory that was
Rome’ or the ‘Splendour that was Greece’".
