Sathya Sai Baba's latest miracle. (this is man who claimed to have sent Jesus to Earth!) |

Sathya Sai Baba (SSB) allowed an unprecedented live broadcast
in the Indian subcontinent of his so-called 'lingodbhava' (bringing
the egg-like ellipsoidal object out of his mouth after what looks like
a painful process of 'regurgitation'). However, one can most clearly
see that NO lingam 'actually emerged at all this year. Instead there
was a small spurt of yellowish vomit, which was later claimed to be
the lingam in liquid golden form!
Instead there was a small spurt of yellowish vomit...
Look at Baba cheating again...
It is clear that most devotees will believe just anything they
are told by him or his cronies. However, it is also noteworthy that
there has suddenly been a significantly increased number of defections
from his movement in the last two weeks or so.
A film clip of the 'actual emergence' has been posted on the
internet by devotees. One can pause the video and examine each frame
separately to analyse the movements.(View the film clip at

From before the alleged 'emergence', SSB is clearly seen to be holding
something just about the size of the lingam inside the towel between
the thumb and forefinger of his right hand! Now what on earth could
that be, one wonders? After the vomit, he lets go of what he was
holding in secret and fumbles to extract it with his right hand,
taking the lingam from under the towel just where it was being held
earlier, and we see a rather confused look of resignation cross his
features. It seems that SSB must have lost his nerve on this occasion,
for he did not even try producing the lingam from his mouth this time.
We know from a private source who observed the event that SSB
collapsed directly after that and was in a terrible state when he was
carried off. Very likely partly a reaction to the stress of being on
live TV and of realising he had not managed to pull it off
convincingly to conceal his fraud from the cameras. But his
favopurite, Anil Kumar, reported that SSB had to go away to 'produce'
two more 'atma lingams' in private out of sight of anyone! Was SSB
feeling too ill, or too camera shy? Those with perspicacious and open
minds can decide the nature of this 'divine mystery'.
That the lingam was allegedly formed in the towel from vomited
'liquid gold' is something which surely only a person whose entire
mind is permeated with unfounded beliefs and superstitions can credit.
Interestingly, we can also compare this with the words of SSB as
attributed to him directly by his one-time very close servitor Swami
Karunyananda, who lived to over 100 years and spent about 4 decades
living within SSB's apartment. On p. 367 of the first edition of 'The
Glory of Puttaparthi' (Bangalore, 1980) by V. Balu, we read:-
Sri Karunyananda also enlightened me about the lingam which Sri
Baba used to materialise from his body on Shivarathri day. Sri
Karunyananda was near at hand once when a solid gold lingam was
brought out by Sri Baba. The lingam was quite big and heavy and the
corners of Sri Baba's mouth had been hurt a little as it emerged! What
pain the passage of such a big and heavy substance must have caused
Sri Baba as it came out through his throat, thought Sri Karunyananda.
Sri Baba quieted his doubts; "When I will its birth, it is born
only as a very soft, pliable substance. It is soft as it emerges from
the stomach and comes up the throat. It hardens only at the time it is
ejected from the mouth."
As pointed out by former devotee, Sanjay Dadlani, this account
has been spread around, such as in the book 'Sri Sathya Sai Baba - a
story of God as man' (1985) by former long-term ashram resident M.N.
Rao, and so we can all see how Sai Baba has changed his mind about how
the lingam is formed, and probably has forgotten how he once explained
it.
Further, when SSB resumed the lingam business again two
decades after he stopped the yearly show - when his crisis with the
major sexual abuse allegations began and something was badly needed to
help slow the thinning out of his followers - he pronounced of the
lingam he 'brought forth' then: "This lingam will not break even if it
is dropped from a height with force. This is Amruthtatwam (symbol of
immortality). It is changeless. You cannot see such a manifestation
anywhere in the world. It is possible only with Divinity." (Sanathana
Sarathi - March 1999, p. 73). If that were really so, how come that
Swami Premananda did exactly the same year upon year up until he won
himself a double life sentence for rape and murder in the early '90s?
Or how come the regurgitation of lingams is a known fakir trick, which
can be seen on various films, including a film screened on TV in 1988
( 'Das Mysterium Der Shiva - Heilige Männer' (Ein film von Eberhart
Thiem, Helga Lippert, Arno Peik) from a German series called 'Terra X
- Rätsel alter Weltkulturen').
Finally, the eternally changeless 'atma lingam' this year
changed into itself from yellow vomit lingam... how come? If the
lingam really is made of gold, then it can surely be changed by
heating it sufficiently, or putting it under a steam hammer. If not,
then we have been deceived by SSB as to what it is supposed to be. If
it is so eternal and changeless, then why not clear up all questions
by getting an advanced physics laboratory to see if they are able in
any way to change one (SSB has dozens of them)? Yes, why not? Or are
they too holy to stand up to any test of truth? Or is it all a great
con?
