More Lies …
Here
are more examples of Sai Baba saying things that can be easily verified as
total lies. Apparently Sai Baba doesn’t credit his followers with even basic
intelligence, and hopes to get away with it because he thinks that his
followers will never check out these facts. If they do so, they will be
“Judases”, and anyway he expects them to come up with some ridiculous “divine
explanation” to account for his blatant lies.
On
October 1st 2000, in a speech given at Prashanthi Nilayam, Sai Baba
speaks of more incidents from his schooldays.

Memories Of Bhagavan's Childhood
"There are many who preach about
the knowledge of Brahman, but there is none who realizes it in practice. Sai's
word is verily the Truth."
Embodiments
of love!
Every
Bharatiya's heart is pure and steady. Their faith that every object in the
world is Divine is based on great declarations like Sarvam Khalvidam Brahma, Sarvam
Vishnumayam Jagat and Isavasyamidam
Sarvam, which have been propounding the eternal Truth. Bharatiya culture
abounds in such teachings. There is a gradual decline in the number of people
who practice such sacred teachings. Many say God is all pervasive but they
neither believe in it nor do they realize it……………………………………………………………………………….
In
reciprocation to a favor, gratitude should be in one's blood stream throughout
one's life. Here is an example. When
this body was studying in Uravakonda three of us used to share a desk - Myself
in the middle flanked by Ramesh and Suresh. They were about 7-8 years old and
were not good in studies. So, whenever a teacher questioned them, they used
to give the answers prompted by Me, for which teachers used to praise them a
lot. Thus, I continued to help them, which brought a gradual change in their
attitude. They started believing that other than Raju there was no support for
them. They uttered Raju's name all the time. In case their mother prepared any
eatables at home, they would wrap them in a paper and get it for Raju. But I
would refuse all these asserting, "I am always a giver but not the one to
take. Our friendship will last longer without these give take transactions. If
I take anything I have to remain indebted to you throughout, therefore I should
not accept."
Mahboob
Khan was our English teacher. His relationship with Me was not external but it
was an Atmic one. The moment it was
time for My class he would force the other teachers to vacate. The class was
filled with students of 8 years age gap. When they saw Mahboob Khan coming,
they would start teasing Me and make fun. Mahboob Khan seldom taught anything.
The moment He took his seat he would call 'Raju!' I told him softly, "Sir,
other students may mistake you, so I too shall sit at the desk there with boys.
Do not call Me every time." This made him angry and he said, "Let
them think what they want to, I am not afraid. I am not doing anything wrong. I
love everyone, but, I love You more. This is because of the Divine power in
You." I am telling this incident again for the benefit of the public.
Our ESLC public exams approached. We
had to go to Uravakonda. There were
no buses or bullock carts. Puttaparthi, a remote village 60 years ago has now
become a town. Now, there is a University, an airport and a railway station and
all other facilities. But, in those days, one had to go by walk, carrying two
big rotis. After a stretch of walk,
we used to rest under a tree and again continue the journey playing and
singing.
Ramesh
and Suresh were disheartened thinking about the ensuing examinations. I told
them, "You have faith in Me, I will make you pass". I told them what
to do. As soon as we entered the hall, blank answer papers were given and we
settled in our respective places. Numbers allotted were such that I got 9,
Ramesh 300 and Suresh 200. But, they followed My command strictly to the utmost
detail. But it is different with our Bhajan
boys here. I have emphasized time and again that Bhajans related to all religions must be
sung to give satisfaction to all the people. If once you sing a Bhajan on Vishnu, the next one should be
that of Siva to give joy to devotees of Siva. Every participant should derive
joy. But our boys do not listen and do as they like. So I too have
stopped telling them. But those two boys were different. They went to the
examination hall, and as were told, pretended to write for two hours. After two
hours papers were collected. I wrote for both of them in their handwriting
after finishing my paper within half an hour. Thus, after one and a half hours,
I submitted the answer papers and three of us came out. All the students
discussed their answers outside the hall. But these two, sticking to My words,
never spoke anything. The very next day results were declared - Only Ramesh,
Suresh and Myself passed in 1st class. None could doubt their high marks as our
register numbers were far apart and the handwritings too were different. We
were taken in procession in the streets. The two bowed down their heads. I
encouraged them to be bold and lift their heads. On the third day, there were
questions based on examination in the class. Ramesh and Suresh could not answer
any of them. I told them to say that during the examination time their hearts
prompted the answers.
I had returned
from Hampi. My collar pin was lost. The collar pin is an illusion - so lost are
all the bonds. Know Me truly as Sai, stop your efforts to bind Me in
attachment. All My relation with you is cut off now; it is not possible for
anyone to bind Me. Seshama Raju noted this down. He used to even remind Me of
this sometimes.
When I left Uravakonda,
Kameswar Rao was the headmaster.
Everyone including him cried. But I cared for none. Will I submit Myself to all
this? The next day they asked another boy to lead the prayer in My place. The
prayer too had been composed by Me. That boy, who was a Mohammedan, was a good
singer. He walked up to the stage but could not sing, remembering Me, he broke
down. The prayer was stopped and a
holiday declared. Without Raju, Ramesh and Suresh refused to sit on the
bench or stay in the classroom. Ramesh ran and jumped into a well giving up his
life. Suresh kept crying, "Raju, have you left us! Raju, have you left
us!" He became mad and was admitted to the mental hospital in Bangalore.
His parents prayed to Me to go and see him once. Swami told them, "The
present Suresh is different from the earlier one. There is no point in My
coming to see him." After a few days, he too died……….………….Once I had to attend a scout camp but had
no uniform. Ramesh`s father was an officer. Ramesh asked his father for two
pairs of uniforms, though he did not tell that the second pair was for Me.
Ramesh packed the uniform and placed it under My desk with a note that if Raju
would not accept it, he would give up his life. In turn, I left another note
that if our friendship had to remain, Ramesh had to take back the uniform.
Ramesh considered this as My command and took it back. Thus, in those days,
even in such small matters children used to follow commands.
Sai Baba says in the above speech the following
points:
In 1940,at Uravakonda school, Sai Baba had two
classmates called Ramesh and Suresh, who were 7-8 years old, and shared his
desk.
Sai Baba says that they all had to appear for the
ESLC public exam, where he helped his two friends to pass with a first class ,
by writing their answers for them.
Now, let us
analyze what is written in Prof Kasturi’s authorised biography of Sai Baba ,
Sathyam Sivam Sundaram Part 1 .
“Since
Sathya had to go outside Bukkapatnam for his higher education, it was decided
that he should be with his brother Seshamma Raju, who had married the daughter
of Subba Raju of Kamalapur……..hence they decided to
part with him and send him to far off Kamalapur where his studies would be
continued. There he attended school regularly as he had at
Bukkapatnam………Even now Sathya Sai Baba talks of the drill instructor who was
eager to have Sathya in his troop…….There were two
other boys, children of the Revenue officer, who sat at the same desk as Sathya
and who were very friendly with him. They pleaded with him and even thrust a
new uniform into Sathya’s desk to persuade him to join.”
It
is very obvious that the boys Ramesh and Suresh were Sai Baba’s classmates in Kamalapur and NOT Uravakonda ( if at all any of these
stories are true). But Sai Baba says in his Oct 1st 2000 speech that
the boys were at Uravakonda, and also that the scout camp incident took place
there.
It
must be remembered that ALL the incidents in Sathyam Sivam Sundaram were
written by Kasturi , on the personal recounting of Sai Baba , as it was meant
to be his official biography.
One
more thing here is , Sai Baba says in his Oct 20th 1990 speech ..
“….I shall mention another incident as an illustration. The day after the
twentieth a new boy came to the dais for prayer. Instead of rendering the
prayer, he suddenly burst into tears. Seeing the boy weeping, the others also
began weeping. Then Lakshmipathi announced, `No prayer today. This weeping for
him is itself a prayer. Let us go to our classes.' “
He
says in his Oct 1st 2000 speech about the same incident … “The next
day they asked another boy to lead the prayer in My place. The prayer too had
been composed by Me. That boy, who was a Mohammedan, was a good singer. He
walked up to the stage but could not sing, remembering Me, he broke down. The
prayer was stopped and a holiday declared”
At
one place , Sai Baba says that the prayer was stopped, and the school
headmaster asked all the boys to retur to class. In another speech, Sai Baba
says that the prayer was stopped, and a holiday was declared !!!.
All
these apparently minor and trivial details actually suggest strongly a much
more serious probablity that all these incidents were simply “manufactured” ,
and that Sai Baba out of sheer lack of memory of what he said in the first
place, says something totally different
at another time , because both the accounts are lies anyway.
Here
are more such “facts” to think about.
If the two desk mates of Sai Baba , Ramesh and
Suresh were 7-8 years old, how were they in the same class as Sai Baba , who
was supposed to be 13 years old !!
The
ESLC,elementary school leaving certificate exam is administered at the end of
Eight Grade class. Sai Baba was studying in Eighth grade in Oct 1940 , when he
left school. This has been extensively recorded, and also repeated by Sai Baba
in several speeches. This means that Sai Baba would have been eligible to write
his ESLC exam only at the end of the eighth grade school year, that is April
1941. As he left school in October itself, he did not write the exam in April
1941. Also the two boys Ramesh and Suresh were supposed to have died a few days after Sai Baba left school, so
they too could NOT have written the exam in April 1941.
It
is also recorded in ALL the books about Sai Baba, that when he was in
Uravakonda, he was “stung” by a scorpion , on March 8th 1940. He was
taken in a few days , back to Puttaparthi, as he had started behaving
strangely, and stayed in Puttaparthi till June 1940, when his elder brother
brought him back to Uravakonda to continue his studies.
This
means that Sai Baba could NOT have written his ESLC exam in April 1940 too.
Further, how could two boys 7-8 years old be writing the same exam as a boy 13
years old ?? And that too, when it is clearly established they were his
classmates in Kamalapur, and NOT Uravakonda ??
Here
are more “facts” that Sai Baba gives that are obviously lies, and just concoted
stories to support the idea of his own “divinity” .
In Sai Baba’s speech on October 20th
1990, he says about his school headmaster in Uravakonda……….”After the tragic
incident of those two boys, the class room was locked up and later that desk
was named `Sri Sathya Sai desk.'"
The Headmaster of the school then was
Lakshmipathi.
Whenever I went to school, he used to take me to his office, close the door,
make me sit in his chair and massage my feet with all reverence and devotion”
In
his Oct 1st 2000 speech about the same incidents at school, Sai Baba
says ………”When I left Uravakonda, Kameswar Rao was the
headmaster. Everyone including him cried. But I cared for none.”
We
have dozens of such facts that can all be easily seen as lies. It is very
obvious that ALL these stories were made up later by Sai Baba and told to
Kasturi, to promote his own “divine childhood”. And later, when Sai Baba was
talking on different occasions, he simply forgot what he had told earlier, and
started spinning different tales.
The
point is, if someone is speaking the Truth, then all the facts would add up no
matter where and when they say it, and however many years later. The facts
shall remain unchanged if it is Truth. In Sai Baba’s case, since these
“stories” are simply manufactured lies, they do get contradictory, and he
exposes himself.
While
these things appear to be harmless and minor instances, they reveal a greater
pattern of systematic lying and deception on part of Sai Baba, under the
assumption, that these so called facts will never be checked and verified.
This
exactly is what is happening about his so called “miracles” of
materializations, omniscience etc. Nobody bothers to verify these things
themselves. Everyone thinks that “some other person would have verified” and
the lie is propagated geometrically over the years, written in many books, and
millions of people believe these “miracles” to be the truth, when it is NOT.
This
how the myth of Sai Baba has propagated over the years.
