SATHYA SAI BABA THRIVES ON AND  PROMOTES RUMOURS - PART ONE

Sai Baba repeatedly warns against listening to or spreading rumours. He compares this to dogs barking at nothing (eg. p. 130, Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol 13). Remarkably, however, his ashrams and movement are certainly far more subject to rumours and unconfirmable stories than any other place I have ever been. Many originate from him in interview sessions and are then reported outside, where they become 'hearsay', which he then neither needs to confirm nor reject. Why is all this so widespread in the Sai movement? This question will further be  investigated and answered in a continuing series of articles under the above heading to be posted this month.
