Sathya Sai Baba World Cult Leaders Fail To Meet Concerns on Libel

The excerpts in color orange below are from a communication addressed by JuST, an internationally networked group of former devotees of Sathya Sai Baba, to key officials of the International Sathya Sai Organization.

The leaders have singularly failed, year after year, to meet deep concerns of many former – and indeed of some present – adherents from many countries around the world. See, previous Barry Pittard blog entry: Sathya: Sathya Sai Baba Organization and Libel and DisinformationThe Organization equally failed to act, at least openly, in regard to yet another document into which great time, care and sincerity had also been put, See,
Towards Public Accountability and Due Investigation: A Formal Open Appeal To ‘The Prashanthi Council’.

Excerpt 1. Many official and other closely associated prominent supporters of the Sathya Sai Organization have allowed – particularly since considerable exit from the organization commenced from circa 2000 – deplorable libel and misrepresentation of former devotees in many countries, including stalking of former devotees both on and off the Internet.

Excerpt 2. Two semi-official pro-Sai web sites – saibabaofindia.com/ and saibabalinks.org/ – which could not operate without the help of central officials of the Sathya Sai Organization, Radio Sai Global Harmony and Sai ashrams, have links to websites which libel all former members who have spoken out. Such links reveal the obvious inability of Sai representatives in these groups to reply honestly and cogently to any of the many published allegations about Sai Baba made by those who were long respected members, in some cases prominent leaders, of his international organization.

Excerpt 3. The Sathya Sai Organization and the Prasanthi Council have both failed to distance themselves from the massive and sustained sabotage attempt through a huge fabric of fraudulence in over 100 emails by Murali Krishna Yachendra. This former Sai student, and quite popular Sai College teacher and very close associate of ashram and Organization officials, is a cousin of a Raja of Venkatagiri (one of Sai Baba’s earliest devotees). This badly miscarried attempt to inflict damage on former devotees has long since been fully exposed in public by B. Premanand (in the 280-page book ‘Sabotage by Murali Krishna Yachendra’.

Excerpt 4.  Your rank-and-file members have every right to hear from you the truth, and not to endure both concealment and false depictions from you as to why law-abiding, honest and community-serving former members have, over many years, raised various types of serious allegation against Sai Baba and certain of his core leaders.
