Sathya Sai Baba passes away

[metro]

a country which is full of contradictions like ours, it's not surprising to see that we have many number of followers of these kind of fake babas!! it shouldn't be a shocker to anyone!! afterall we are so used to daylight robbery by our politicians, bureaucrats & sadhu babas alike! hopefully things are changing for better, it's good to see people have difference of openions & not getting carried away by emotions & sentiments!!

Actually I look at it with a different view.
This man had been in a position where he had fan following of millions, follwoers who could do anything for him and who believed him blindly.
He could have slept with hordes of women if he wanted, could have accumlated lots of wealth for his family members, could have enen started a politcal party.
But he chose not to.
I repeat, I favour this man because of the social service he did for the poors without any selfish reasons and not becoz he proclaimed himself to be some god or anything.

The people who are cursing him have no idea of his fan following.

From Presidents to prime ministers to many senior ministers, sports persons incl Sachin Tendulkar, many film personalities and millions of commoners are all his followers.

Certainly they ALL cant be wrong.

I know there is no shortage of fools on this planet but surely his fan following is too big for all of them to get fooled all at once.

If its not fan following that decides the true powers, then what is it?

I was never his follower but I have read and heard about many of his miracles.

I am going by the sheer no. of his followers. I dont want to term him a fake.

The fans followed him blindly. So obviously its the man himself who had the authority to take decision on his own.

don't get me wrong!! i have full respect for all the good deeds he has done for poor people! i'm not taking that away from him. but if you ask me to consider him as a godman (which is what he wants his followers to do by tricking them into stupid little magic tricks), then he loses my respect! a good human being doesn't need to stoop that low to make others believe that he has supernatural powers! that in itself makes one wonder if this man is for real?

Ah! Miracles!

My own conspiracy theory is that Satya Sai Baba trust is the front for money laundering. Thats why many politicians and industrialists like him.

Hmmm.. can be.
But seeing his clean record, I would give him a benefit of doubt.
I have one more doubt. If he was really into making money, then why he didnt save anything for his family members ?
Yesterday i was hearing in news channels, that he had even declared that his successor will not be from his family or khandan. So I dont really get this money laundering thing.

Dont know what to say, left brain says he was a noble man, right brain says he was not.
