ReplyDeleteSai baba! I have had dreams of baba for years, though he does not want me to become a devotee as such. 80th birthday eh? he says he will live to be 96 [95 western age-reckoning].
I found a site, recently, where a devotee exposes the esposers, those who dislike baba.
http://www.saisathyasai.com/
Here is a site that exposes the exposers of Sathya sai baba!
many of these baba haters who post over and over and over about how sai baba has sex with young boys, etc....These people either are very very Fundamentalist christians
or themselves have been in programs for sex offenders, themselves!

So I give my regards....
