'Miracle' in Puttaparthi, Baba statue oozes scented oil

[desioptimist]

A funny story...

PUTTAPARTHI: A day after Sathya Sai Central Trust member R J Ratnakar issued a statement that all was well in the trust and that they are hoping for Sai Baba's recovery, news of a 'miracle' swept through Puttaparthi on Tuesday.

Around 9.30 am, devotees rushed to the house of a retired deputy tehsildar at Ganesh Circle on the outskirts of Puttaparthi, where a 4-ft idol of Sai Baba was reportedly oozing perfumed oils from its feet. TV cameramen rushed to grab the visuals and devotees thronged the house. They claimed it was a sign of Sai Baba recovering.

Devotees refused to consider that the wax idol could be melting in the sweltering heat and the oil was a resultant residue. Raheem, a sculptor, said Sai Baba had appeared in his dream last November. "He told me to make his idol and worship the same. I followed his direction," said Raheem. He had made the idol five years ago, but had kept it hidden till now.

The idol is a replica of Sai Baba complete with his thick bushy hair and saffron robes.

In the morning, Raheem's wife informed her neighbours as soon as the oil began oozing out. Soon, crowd gathered at the house. Policemen arrived to manage the swelling crowd. B Narayana Swamy, owner of the house, said he rushed when Raheem told him about it, said, "It's a miracle. It's one of Swami's marvels. After I touched the feet of the idol and smelt the perfumed oil, I began to believe Sai Baba has come back."

COME ON!! Modern India is moving beyond these decident relics, flocking in masses to NATURAL phenominums. It is only the backward and poorly-educated who still care about such things, luckily the number of these are decreasing rapidly!:

Baba was suffering from diarrhea so he might be leaking from his bottom and Indians as we being predictable took that leakage as scented oil as they do in case of cow pee.

There is a difference between education and literacy. If we do not encourage critical thinking in students and encourage learning by rote,they wont be able to differentiate between science and magic.
Many of the baba's disciple are high achievers, not poor people.

Good point , well made. The "sheep" and "herd" mentality needs to be broken in India- people need to be able to think for themselves to avoid this kind of BS. and to post #3 come on! Grow up, clearly you were taught in some s€$tulle of a madraser where instead of teaching you how to read or write they brainwashed you about the "evil" Jew and Hindu. I'm neither btw.

Our religion teaches us, Not to call names to their gods, or they will call names to you GOD. if you expect others to respect your religios personalities, do the same.

Sai baba is no God, he is a con artist. In any case nobody is above criticism, be it sai baba or Mohammed.

Literacy has nothing to do with blind faith... have you heard bout Exorcism?? "I command in the name of thou" With a Bible and cross (wooden or metallic), they chase the ghosts... Are they illiterate???

There are some people (educated, uneducated. rich and poor), who believe this person "chamatkari" (magical.)... It has nothing to do with India, Hindu, Indian or education...
