SRI SATHYA SAI BABA
LIVING LEGEND
AN EMBODIMENT OF LOVE FOR ALL MANKIND
We are deeply pained and anguished by the wild, reckless and concocted allegations made by certain vested interests and people against Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. We would normally expect that responsible media would ascertain the true facts before printing such calumny - especially when the person is revered globally as an embodiment of love and selfless service to humanity. Since this professional ethic has not been observed by a section of the media, we have elected to go public with this signed statement.
We are among several million people in the world who regard Sri Sathya Baba as a great spiritual master and teacher. We come from different nationalities and religions and greatly admire the fact that Sathya Sai Baba asks us to become a true follower of our chosen path. His is a message of truth, right conduct, love, peace and non-violence. He always emphasizes that these universal human values belong to all faiths and religious traditions.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba leads by example. he devotes all his time and energy for the well being of society. People from all walks of life and from all parts of world visit him in Prasanthi Nilayam (Andhra Pradesh, India). He meets them and showers his love and blessings on all those who seek him. He has been the sole inspiration behind some of the most monumental public service projects in recent times. He has set up schools, colleges and universities where finest qualify man-making education is imparted to all at no cost. His educational program of universal human values is being used by thousands of educational institutions all over the world. He has set up hospitals where complex surgical interventions are performed everyday without any cost to the patients. He has set up a mammoth clean drinking water network in drought-prone areas. Indeed the list of activities and projects inspired by him continues to grow with new projects being undertaken in all parts of the world.
We have had the privilege of meeting Sri Sathya Sai Baba many times and seeing him engage ceaselessly in community service projects.
We unequivocally condemn the baseless and malicious allegations being hurled upon Sathya Sai Baba in certain quarters. Great men have often faced slander in their lives. Such pitiful efforts neither diminish their glory nor slow down their resolve to achieve their mission.
May God give good sense to all who create these scurrilous stories and wisdom to all others not to pay any heed to them.

So, Mr. Vajpayee, it is not true after all?
... And what about the numerous aspects of the facts shown by the internet? Take for instance the testimonials of sexually violated persons which are all undivided claims against this Dark Angel, your Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
You have had the privilege of meeting Sri Sathya Sai Baba many times, but did you ever had the privilege of meeting someone who has had such experiences? We invite you to do this, Mr. Vajpayee, we would be glad to help you in making contact with any victim whatever.
Do we need to go further? No, you are able read enough evidence everywhere, but you prefer to hide behind the usual words uttered by Baba himself for so many times, and for so long already...
When will you awake out of your dream Mr. Vajpayee?
