One of the clues as to Baba’s conjurer nature was immediately obvious: He was raised in a traveling circus where he learned magic from his uncle! How that fact could be overlooked by so many of millions shows the deluding effect of blind belief in supernatural events and beings. Embassy in Delhi warns travelers about the potential for sexual abuse by Baba. Baba’s behavior was so egregious that UNESCO severed ties with his organization years ago, and the U.S. This trauma includes the grotesque sexual abuse of hundreds if not thousands of men and boys. Baba didn’t make it hard, because he has left a trail of trauma and terror so long and wide that many can see it, including the creators of the BBC documentary provided here. Who doesn’t want God to be real and walking among us, to love us and shower us with blessings?īut, of course, I was skeptical, so I kept digging, and I eventually found enough paydirt to confirm my doubts. How exciting that would have been! Here on Earth in our day and age supposedly had appeared a man who was clearly God because he could manifest an amazing array of miracles! What fun! I really wanted to go visit him at his ashram in Brindavan because it looked like such a great time. The enthusiasm and conviction with which these alleged miracles were recounted were infectious, and I would have loved to believe they were true. I had read many books by devotees and others who were impressed by the seemingly endless stream of divine miracles by Sai Baba, including his purported manifestations of artifacts such as watches, statues, lingams, ash and so on. I also discovered much worse, especially after I finally went online. But, there was enough, and I soon discovered the Indian Rationalists’ video “Guru Busters” showing Baba doing typical magician’s tricks. My study occurred before the internet was popular, and there was not much debunking material around. For a period, I spent much time watching every video and reading every book I could find about the man.
