Quotation from Article
"In the heyday of Sathya Sai Baba’s mission, some devotee writers
with various professional backgrounds influenced many, particularly
his more educated followers. These included Professor N. Kasturi,
Howard Murphet, Dr John Hislop, Dr Samuel Sandweiss, Ra. Ganapati,
Dr Satya Pal Ruhela, V, Balu, Shukuntala Balu, Robert Lowenburg,
etc.
The name of William ‘Bill’ Aitken has now to be added to the list of
these hagiographical writers on Sai Baba. In coming days I shall be
looking at Bill Aitken and Sathya Sai Baba. A Writer’s Dilemma, by
the Australian scholar Brian Steel writing on Aitken’s book,
Sri Sathya Sai Baba. A Life (New Delhi, Penguin Books India, 2004.
Paperback edition, 2006)".
