Official Sai Baba Documents Show His Death Date Prophecies Failed
Posted by Barry Pittard on June 12, 2011
As inaccurate in blind faith mathematics as they are careless with so many other types of fact, a number of Sathya Sai Baba devotees have seriously tripped over themselves about his various death date prophecies.
Following his death on 24 April 2011, they try, with Procrustean contortions, to convert his (supposedly) prophetic words into factual statements.
Many of them did not realise that he had made several conflicting prophecies concerning his death date (not that they use the word ‘death’.
Exhaustive efforts of former devotee researchers such as Robert Priddy and Brian Steel and others have uncovered many instances of palpable absurdities which it is now too late for the Sai editorial weeders to conceal.
These editorial puppets of Sai propaganda started all too late with their, so to speak, Weeders Digest – in which glaringly they have culled many embarrassing Sai Baba statements. Especially, the Australian scholar Brian Steel was all too fast off the mark for any of them.
Thankfully, not all former devotees destroyed their large stack of back numbers of Sanathana Sarathi and other publications, such as the lengthy Sathya Sai Speaks series, of the Sri Sathya Sai Books and Publications Trust, Puttapathi.
What these deeply compromised Sathya Sai devotees unwittingly expose is the way in which their cultic adulation of Sai Baba makes them so foolhardy. This is but one of countless examples of devotee blindness, and serious lapse into untruth – the very opposite of what they claim to stand for.
Typically, such devotees embrace his utter deceits, an example being written devotee documentation that Sai Baba told a group of his students at his retreat at Kodaikanal that he would resurrect after 40 days. I have referred to this report in the Times of India at:
Sathya Sai Baba Claimed He Will Resurrect After 40 Days
Posted by Barry Pittard on June 4, 2011
My readers will not of course need to hunt up a calendar to see that these forty days have well elapsed. There is not even the hint of a resurrection. Unless the ‘Secret Swami’ is keeping his resurrection secret.
TNN, Apr 24, 2011, 03.10am ISTPUTTAPARTHI: Did Sathya Sai Baba have premonition 10 years ago that he would fall seriously ill? Yes, claim his followers. According to them, Sai Baba had predicted in 2000 that he would be indisposed for 40 days but would come back strong to give darshan to his devotees.
This was revealed in a book ‘Tapovanam — Bhagawan Sri Sathya Saibaba Satcharitra Nityaparaya-nam’ in which the author Jandhyala Venkateswara Sastry has written an essay on Baba’s ill-health. Sai Baba had told his students at his Sai Shruti ashram in Kodaikanal in 2000: ”Though most of my disciples fall at my feet, they don’t know my real value. A time would come when I would vanish and take a walk across the skies. During that phase, my body would face serious health problems and devotees would be desperately praying for my recovery.”
