SATHYA
SAI BABA´S RELATIONSHIP TO TRUTH
by Åsa Samsioe
“Bereft of
truth, righteousness, love and peace, the sanctity of all your acts of charity
is zero,”
says SSB in his birthday discourse from 23 November 2003. How right he is!
But how does he practise this in respect of his account of his own 'miraculous'
birth and childhood?
One may see major discrepancies between him and Prof. N. Kasturi in a major new
documented article at

Another study by Brian Steel!
In Chapter 3 of "Sathya Sai Baba, God or
Guru", Steel presented some strong circumstantial evidence which suggests that
there is a very significant difference between the language of Sai Baba's
frequent public Discourses (which are usually delivered in his native Telugu
language) and the subsequently translated, edited, and printed form of those
Discourses. By default, it is this edited form, the only one which is officially
circulated by the Sai Baba Organisation, which is accepted by the majority of
Sai Baba's overseas devotees as the authentic version of Baba's public teachings,
and, indeed, as the true expression of his OWN WORDS and personality. But
available evidence suggests that such a belief may need to be re-assessed.
