"It is hard to convey to the general reader the
extraordinary extent of appeal and significance of Sathya Sai
Baba’s greater and lesser ‘apostles’. Prominent among these are Professor
Alvin Drucker and his wife Jaani, who
have long loomed large in the minds of the Sathya Sai Baba sect
around the world. Central to this impact is a devotee psychology
that goes as follows:
It is impossible for most to get an interview with Sai Baba
or a glance or touch from him when he gives darshan (appears
in public). However, by his infinite Grace, he has drawn
special beings around him. As in the case of the disciples
of spiritual luminaries down the ages, we at least –
alleluia! – have them … In their accessibility to us lies
our mystical accessibility to him.
Those who have seen these ‘apostles’ have, in a sense, seen
the Father".
"Unless my reply to Jaani Drucker's contact with me
(sent weeks ago) has e.g., accidentally ended up in her Spam
section, I may mention that she has not responded to my
(surely) courteous response (see below) to her recent email
to me via my blogsite ...
A number of highly qualified mental health professionals
have looked at Jaani Drucker’s account of her rape in a
New York Sai center in February 1985. Their view is very
different to Jaani’s understanding – which she puts in
terms of spiritual “realization”.
