Within Hinduism, the Shiva lingam often represents the wonder and majesty of creation-dissolution, a symbol of limitlessness. However, by associating these resonances with fraudulence, Sathya Sai Baba does questionable service to the religion he supposedly promotes. See Wikipedia, under ‘Lingam‘.
Baba cheating with lingam (4,69 MB, with sound):

Articles on and Viewing of Sathya Sai Baba’s Tricks - at ‘Call for Media and Government Investigation of Sathya Sai Baba’ :
Right Hand. Sleight Hand. Watch Sai Baba Cheat With Sacred Ash (Film clip)
Sleight Of Hand. The Sleightness of Sathya Sai Baba (Exposing film clips).
In the latter article, so as to emphasise how profoundly, and often very easily, human beings can be tricked by sleight-of-hand and other skills of deception, I have provided links to famous magicians/illusionists such as: David Blaine, Lance Burton, Derren Brown, Harry Houdini, and others. Later, I wish to include a number of outstanding female practitioners, with links to some of their work. For DR (Denmark’s national radio and television broadcaster), there is full footage available of ‘Seduced’. Click on the link for this notable magician, who specifically demonstrates how Sai Baba performs some of his tricks. Nils Krøjgaard.
