QUOTES
"As with scams the world over, there are methods of
’spotting’ – in this case, by ashram staff of visitors
most likely to donate large sums. The admixture of
‘miracles’ – such as Sai Baba’s ’materializing’ of
expensive rings or pendants etc., for the wealthy – is
central to setting up of these traps. This operation
involves the participation of the registration office,
as well as Sathya Sai Baba’s close servitors, many of
them wealthy or those who have given away their wealth
to him. Criminals and police forces often refer to this
type of spotting as finding the ‘mark’ or victim to be
set up".
"To those wishing to reflect intellectually on their own
experiences of donorship, or for those who may be
contemplating giving money to Sathya Sai Baba’s
organization, I point to the article (4700 approx words)
of retired academic and former longtime leader of the
Norwegian Sathya Sai Organization"
