Subject: The original email
This
is the email that started it all....I wrote this after deep contemplation and a
need to get it out of my system and try to reach some people. Thankfully, due
to this email there are six people currently investigating and asking me
questions. Many others that were vicious and then many others that were quiet.
This email was sent out to total of 230 people, mostly NE sb devotees.

Subject: How do you reach someone's heart?
Dear Friends,
I am writing this e-mail after much contemplation. As many of you know as of
this writing I have resigned from the sai organization and no longer consider
sai baba my teacher. I made this decision based on information I found out
regarding improper behaviour that sai baba is engaged in. The reason I have
chosen to write to you at this time is because I can no longer be silent and
participate in the level of suppression that has been going on within the sai
baba org.
You are good caring people, dig down into your hearts and souls and bypass your
ego. It is especially important for those of you who are therapists and
teachers. People that are responsible for recognizing and reporting problems
when children cry out for help. Why have you turned a deaf ear and a blind eye
to this situation? For those of you who do not know what is going on, I beseech
you to find out by either reading the e-mail included below, contacting people
that have left the org and investigating websites. [Attached to the bottom of
this message is an unbiased letter from the editor of the Nexus magazine.
Duncan's email address, phone number and mailing address are included as well.
Please feel free to contact him if you have any questions.]
I would like to ask you to consider the following questions. Doesn't it mean
anything that centers around the world have been closed? That major public sai
baba officials have resigned? I also would like to ask how it is that so many
people, from so many countries are saying the same thing? That so many men, not
women, have committed suicide?? Did you know that the UNESCO conference, that
was supposed to be sponsored in Parthi, was canceled due to these rumors as
well and the sai baba org. is not reporting the facts? Doesn't it mean
something that UNESCO has posted its concern and disassociation with the sai
baba org.? Did you know that the new EHV school slated to open in September in
Hartford, CT has shut down? Isn't it interesting that the FBI and other
International orgs. are investigating sai baba? Most of all isn't it
interesting that an organization that allegedly supports the principle of Help
Ever, Hurt Never is basically being selfish?
The saddest thing of all is that the party line reads "think about your
own experience, don't listen to this garbage because it will weaken your
faith". After much contemplation I realized how hypocritical this is
especially if you are to follow sb' s teachings of "love all, serve
all". How can you love and serve somebody else, especially the children if
you are not at least researching and asking the questions. How can you continue
to bury your head in the sand, give over your personal power, because you are
too afraid to rock your world. What about these children? What if any of this
is true, even a little bit?? What about the children?
With love,
Lori K.
