palm_w1 Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 I was speaking to a friend the other day who informed me of the following documentary which was aired on the BBC recently. It exposes sai baba as having abused young boys, i quote: Alaya, a former follower who claims he was sexually abused by the swami, says in the programme: "I remember him saying, if you don't do what I say, your life will be filled with pain and suffering." devotees such as Alaya Rahm and Mark Roche, . . . . . . . . Both had been subjected to Sai Baba rubbing oil on their genitals. "He took me aside", said Alaya Rahm, "put the oil on his hands, told me to drop my pants and rubbed my genitals with the oil. I was really taken aback." Back in India, there are serious questions to be asked of politicians, who seem to have continuously ignored the problem. Indeed, some would say, the correct position for these politicians appears to be at the feet of Sai Baba. My purpose in highlighting this on a sikh forum is that the person who told me about it was 'sikh' and was actually a follower of this 'sant'. Did anyone actually watch this documentary? What did u think of it? I found it amazing how many people just say 'so what, he has done a lot of good for india'. Does this not change your view of him if u did follow him? should sikhs even follow people like this? Why do indians seem to be so prone to following hindu godmen? Does this reflect badly upon the hindu religion? Are the BBC anti hindu as the RSS and other right wing hindu organisations claim? anyway, judge yourselves. here are the links: http://www.asiansinmedia.org/news/article.php/television/463 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/this_world/3791921.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/this_world/3813469.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/this_world/3811875.stm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyDudesWassup Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 I saw this goofball get caught on camera screwing up a magic trick. Also, 10 years ago we got this Sai baba chain letter from some hindu guy which told us to make copies and forward to 10 people otherwise we will have bad luck. Of course we never believed the BS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 My guru ji were so humble that they didnt want to be called Parmeshar even when they were parmeshar saroop. Sikhs should consider themselves lucky that Everyone of ourguru ji told us to worship Waheguru. As a sikh even thinking about another baba is disrespecting Guru Granth sahib ji. That desi saying comes to my mind "Those who cant, Become babas" Alaakh niranjan,dukhbhanjan, danto ka manjan Amar dance kare te lokii Dekhan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Javanmard Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Sai Baba's crimes have been known for years and years. I had heard about his crimes ten years agao and I am always amazed to see middle class Indians worship this demon!!! I have only one thing to say about this guy: a bullet in the head!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikermanjit Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 If sikhs continue to follow faulse folk like Sai Baba..it just shows how much education there is yet to give our people...a simple thook from Chaupai Sahib springs to mind "tumeh shaad koi avar nah theavou" Pull chook mafh.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
