facebook discussion: "Satya Sai Baba" of Puttuparthi and his chamatkars

I fully agree with 90% of what have been written but this 90% belongs to just 10% of satya Sai Baba's life. I have never been a fan or follower of satya Sai Baba but still I admire what he has done for the masses. Apart from water, health, electricity etc it includes giving them 'faith'.. a firm believe in a god. And you'll agree faith is a great healer. I look at his numerous magical skills otherwise. In our childhood our parents played lot of tricks on us and later we played those 'magical' tricks on our children and made small balls, coins, pens etc vanish in thin here. We did it not to be-fool our kids but to either amuse them or to lead them to something better. And btw 'rebirth' is yet to be disapproved by science. Regards..

The issue is.. many more have wealthier trusts. The important thing is what are they doing with that. And well proclaiming himself as GODMAN is part of his shady 10 % I mentioned earlier. Some of his followers are well educated and respected personalities, thus I doubt if education has much to do with it. But lets spread education so that at least some of the superstitions are taken care of.

Let's not miss wood for the trees. His past is shady, his activities smack of frauds, murders and other crimes. But, may be at a very late stage though, he filled a vacuum in spiritual aspirations of his followers. I grade him higher than many more with similar pasts or presents, Pawar for one, who have equal or more money but no philanthropy. Bill Gates after duping crores by his restrictive trade practices donates a fraction of his wealth and is lauded. Lets give devil his due. At least on his last journey. Amen
