At 'Call For Media and Government Investigation of Sathya Sai Baba', see the article: Sathya Sai Baba Breaks Down and Sobs at 85th Birthday Posted by Barry Pittard on December 11, 2010 Confirming many reports of Sathya Sai Baba breaking down and weeping in more recent times, there is now brilliantly clear video footage for all to see: QUOTES "It is not that crying is out of order, per se. It is, however, the case that Sai Baba has had many words to say about stoicism. Further more, his many reported weeping episodes have taken a marked upsweep after the advent of worldwide exposure of widespread serial sexual abuse of boys and young men;  his implication in the massive local, state and central governments’ cover up of police killings in his bedroom at Puttaparthi; vast misappropriation of billions in funds collected worldwide; his vast opulence in a land of great poverty, squalor, ignorance and superstition; his failed predictions; and much else that reveals him to be one of history’s great imposters". "Robert Priddy at:  has some instructive historical examples of Sathya Sai Baba in relation to his weeping":  Sathya Sai Baba crying (video). Posted by robertpriddy on December 10, 2010 "In recent years, there has been a marked increase of reports that depict  Sai Baba acting in many ways not previously typical of him. However, there is now 85th birthday celebrations video footage  of him breaking down and crying. Or, to be exact – as the viewer can, with the greatest clarity see – breaking into uncontrollable sobbing. As in a great deal of footage, viewers can also see the Sai Baba’s mask-like face and other signs of a deterioration. These afford yet another instance, taken from myriad examples, of how Sai Baba’s predictions have so dramatically and demonstrably failed to materialize".
