QUOTES
"In mid 1982, at Puttaparthi, I spoke to two prominent
devotees about concerns being raised sub voce that Sathya
Sai Baba had been engaged in sexual activities with young
males. One of the reports was that he been involved in such
activities since he was young, and that this was quite
common knowledge within Puttaparthi and district. The two
were Richard Bayer,
then a high official in the Sathya Sai Organization,
organization, and (the late)
Howard Murphet,
Australian journalist and renowned author of several books
on Sai Baba".
"My colleague
Robert Priddy,
former head of the Sathya Sai Organization, Norway, and
retired academic from the University of Oslo, has recently
again been looking at what we have come to refer to as
the Hislop letters.
These are essential documents for any serious investigator
to analyse with the greatest of care. In its investigation,
the BBC – which traveled to the USA and India in the
research phases that led to
‘The Secret Swami’ -
treated these letters very seriously, although there have
been scurrilous attempts to try to distort the facts about
them:
Sathya Sai Organization’s abuse cover-up & unaccountability
Letter by John Hislop to Sathya Sai Organization leaders
Revealing letters on sexual abuse claims by Dr. John Hislop
The Hislop letters – part one [Timothy Conway on
Gerald Moreno] "
