It has to be made clear By Sai Baba ji, that he is not God he is merely an instrument in his hands. God is one who is creator of all the things.
and last he has to confirm that he has realised the God. Then start preachings.
LIKE SWAMI KRISHAN PARMHANS SAID TO HIS DISCIPLE SWAMI VIVEKANANDA.

I have been associated with sai fold for last almost 7 years.Let me admit that Baba has been very instrumental in bringing about positive transformation in my attitude towards world and life.His teaching,his social works nhis mission ,his institution and ever rising fraternity of his devotee exemplfy only purity and sheer goodness.Such a divine soul ,if born in other country, would have been honoured with many a noble prices manifold times.I am amazed that despite sustained onslaught by some quarters, he is silently carrying out his holy mission and service of humanity with exemplary zeal. Only a Godly person can afford to do this. Is there is any person so noble as Sai Baba in history? No.No doubt he is rightly worshipped as a God by millions.

it is possible all these (politicians,bureaucrats...rich people) go to him to wash off all their sins and get solace!they must be donating to him in kind and he in turn runs many philonthropic services like schools,colleges,hospitals, etc..etc...whats wrong?

It is said that sin againsts saint is grave and aginst Avatars the gravest.No one can go to Baba without his Divine call .It is the accumulated good of past lives that one gets an opportunuty to be associated with divinity.Let us wash off our own karmic sins of present life at his lotus feet.We are very lucky to be born as Baba's contemporaries.Let us not waste this janma in hurling unfounfed allegations created by the vested interest.

Aruna, Let me put it in perspective. No one is deriding him not stop respect him, if he is not a god. He deserves all the respect and honour. BUT TO PLAY A GOD is bit trifle. No cheating with magics please. With no malice to his followers, being fooled on magic tricks is worse and thinking him as god devalues the greatness in him. If were to claim that he is just normal man and nothing to do with god, surely he deserves a better award than Nobel. But giving magic rings to a Rich few ministers and fetching the PMs, Presidents and sitting in their gallery living the life of luxury shunts his respect and thus his sincerity is questioned by rationalist. I been to his school and owe him but if he gives my colleague a gift from thin air with "Made in Japan", he is opening gate for criticism. He talking our region as Papam is too much to bear. 4 crore people identity is linked to his unwise and uncalled for comment.

Dear Anand, Me and several of my friends have post graduate and post Doctoral degrees in fields from BioMedicine to Nuclear Physics, Engineering and so on. It is difficult to see how we could have been "fooled on magic tricks is worse and thinking him as god devalues the greatness in him" I, like most of other devotees flocking to Him have been turned into devotees after initial phase of secptisism. Can you please tell us which year you went to his school, who your batch mates were, instead of making such sweeping statements please? Regards KK

Let us take the Divine side of Sri Sathya Sai Baba. I strongly believe that all his creations and materializations are but a way to attract masses, not for any cheap popularity or fame, but to give them something in return. A message or a value or a lesson for each to learn and take with them, which in turn forms as a seed to their own faith. We all invest our time and faith in Stones that have no life. What is wrong in investing my time and faith in an entity who is in flesh and blood and who has shown me a direction in my life? Afterall that is what we seek from our stone God’s - Happiness and Peace. Show me one character in the History of mankind who have declared Himself/ Herself as nothing less than God and who have got away with out any controversy during their times. They were also Human beings and I am sure there must have been thousands of people in their times like us, arguing about the fact whether God can take a Human form or not, while forgetting the very purpose behind their Incarnations. Finally I would like to say that we all have to grow in our way of thinking , by taking and emulating the good things that Sri Sathya Sai Baba has demonstrated and spread peace and happiness to everyone around us. But remember doing good is not as easy as we say. You need conviction, guts and perseverance to do a good act. For, it is rightly said that only a fruit bearing tree that people throws stones.

Dear readers I have been a student of Sri Sathya Sai Baba for 10 years and currently working for the Sathya Sai Organisation at Prasanthi Nilayam. I would like the readers to read my comments little more intently since I have been lived in this place and experienced over a period of 12 long years. Let us take the Human side of Sai Baba. In a lay man's language I would say He is a Visionary who has engaged Himself incessantly without any malice in teaching Humanity how to live like a Human Being. All His projects ,be it Free Education , Free Health Care or providing Free water to the most severely Draught affected areas of this country, are but an expression of this teaching of Baba. I have not found any individual who has dared to come forward to address the basic needs of people in such a Big way without charging the recipient. I have got free education right from my higher secondary through my MBA program and I can proudly say that under no circumstances there were no compromises in the Quality of education and care that we received in our hostels. We just celebrated 25 years of our University and believe me, in these days of Education = Money , Sri Sathya Sai Baba has been providing to thousands of individuals like me Education without seeking anything in return. This is my objective opinion and not influenced by any emotions.

satya sai may or may not be a divine personality but nothg is more before the service his institutionns are doing all over world . free access to medical , food, education and what not .a bypass surgery which is 2 lakhs can be done free of cost in puttaparti. children who are educated in his schools develop the correct path to reach there goals. irrespective of his claims as reincarnation of saibaba his service to milllions of poor people and his devotees is unmatchable and unreachable by anyother person .

What is the definition of GOD ? The true meaning is being selflessness. What otherlive example can one have other than Sathya SaiBaba Himself. His life itself is His message . If only each individual can even follow 1% of His Actions , the world will be a better place to live in apart from spiritual satisfaction which each individual would get. It is a challenge to the we humans to try .

See yesterday I was going through IBN's programme on sathya sai baba.Press has to be responsible role in creating awareness about good things. Just for increasing the viewership dont try to bring out programmes that doesnot makes sense. Tell me any one who talks about unity of all religions, Can you name any individual who has constructed massive super speciality hospitals and serving people free of cost, Chennai has got water now its because of Saiganga. You press people never highlight good things because saibaba has never for any popularity through press or Televisions. Its not easy accepting a man as god or guru. You have to some spiritual inclination, jus sitting before camera you guys will never understand things. All incarnations including jesus christ were running into false accusations, but he never bothered about that.Saibaba is same as Christ he will never bother whether you praise him or you dont he is beyond time and space so your rationalist views cannot explain what god and spirituality. Let us try to understand what message saibaba gives to humanity and lets not think beyond that. Because understanding or trying understand god is trying understand one's ownself. So IBN I request you if you highlight what the SaiTrust has done to benefit the humanity. You guys will hesitate do that because you will not get advertisements. If IBN is really socially responsible try to broadcast good things done all good people.

From a devotee with close friends of Sai Baba comes the news that he sits and cries much of the time nowadays, that the Puttaparthi villagers lack water - after the millions poured by devotee donors into a failed Rayalaseema water project. See the e-mail sent to me on this at http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex_baba/engels/articles/confused/confused.html

Actually, the success of satya sai baba's water projects have been reported in numerous papers and is well known in india and abroad. Please stop spreading lies.
( Posted by R.S. Prateem on )
The water projects of Sai Baba are complete success and are divine wonders.It seems some groups from west mostly reactionary christian, are spreading false rumours and hurling imaginary allegations as there feel uncomfortable with the rising graph of Baba's popularity and appeal among the christian community in various contries of the world.Baba is proving to be a big obstacle in their hidden plan to convert India into a christian country.
