Babu MY SAI HISTORY Jed Geyerhahn MORE ON SAI BABA ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo INTRODUCTION By David Sunfellow In SMORGASBORD 6, I wrote an article entitled, "A Power Greater Than Ourselves". Among other things, the article lamented the apparent lack of authentic spiritual masters in the world today. "I have yet to meet or hear of anyone alive today," I wrote, "who embodies the kind of perfection I believe is our birthright. And while there is certainly no shortage of people claiming to be perfect, those who proclaim spiritual mastership the loudest, often turn out to be the least developed and most lost. And this includes many of the eastern world's most celebrated 'masters' who, along with whatever genuine inner strengths and powers they tapped into, frequently demonstrate glaring moral defects and/or an inability to function gracefully in the real world." While many readers wrote back saying that they, too, had grown disillusioned over the apparent lack of spiritual masters in the world today, one reader asked a question that has been nagging me for decades: "What about Sai Baba?" I first encountered Sai Baba over twenty years ago when a friend showed me a book of his. After reading that Sai Baba considered himself the second coming of Christ, I promptly dismissed both him and his claims of spiritual mastership. Eventually, I came across a psychic reading done by Ray Stanford (one of a handful of psychics that I believe was genuinely gifted), in which Sai Baba was described as "an avatar of mind unspiritualized." This particular reading, which was published in 1976 in the Journal of the ASSOCIATION FOR THE UNDERSTANDING OF MAN, further accused Sai Baba of sexual indiscretions and said that he had physically beat people who did not do his will. According to the Stanford source, "There is a direct contradiction in the life of the individual involved, between what he claims of himself and what he does in practice. This is exemplified in the sexual life, in the intellectual life, and in the emotional reactions of the individual called Baba. Also is it exemplified in the external form of those attitudes mentioned -- such as the physical beatings which that one has done to individuals who did not do his will." The Stanford source also added this pointed reminder,"Realize that He who is the true incarnation of Love gives evidence of Himself by love. Do not deceive yourself by rationalization into believing that the giving of trinkets is the evidence of love, for love given purely need not conceal itself behind mere trinkets of gold, stone, and tinsel." While I viewed Sai Baba as one more wayward guru, an increasing number of friends continued to sing him praises. Some of these friends actually visited him in India. Their first-person impression of Sai Baba was that he was, indeed, the high-powered spiritual master he claimed to be. Others, who spent years in close association with Sai Baba, swore that they personally witnessed many "miracles" that could not be explained by ordinary means. In addition, Sai Baba is well-known in India, and often visited by Indian government officials and world leaders -- in part because of his supposed powers, and in part because of his reported good works, which, among other things, includes building hospitals and helping poor villages. So is Sai Baba a genuine master, or another charlatan? To get to the bottom of this, I contacted officials connected with THE COMMITTEE FOR THE SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION OF CLAIMS OF THE PARANORMAL (CSICOP), based in the United States, India and London. One of these gentlemen, G.R.R. Babu, the Executive Director of INTERNATIONAL HUMANIST & ETHICAL UNION in London, faxed me an article he wrote that itemized many disturbing events associated with Sai Baba, including faked materializations, murders, corrupt government officials, money laundering, and other scandals. Since CSIOP and their affiliate organizations are staunch humanists, they have a vested interest to discredit all claims of supernatural and/or divine interventions in the affairs of humanity. Babu's report cannot, therefore, be viewed as an objective overview of Sai Baba. In addition, Babu's article has a sarcastic edge to it that compromises normal journalistic standards. It does, however, detail events that should cause any seeking person to seriously question Sai Baba, as well his claims of mastership. With permission, I have included a copy of Babu's report on Sai Baba in this NHNE Special Report. I have also been in touch with Jed Geyerhahn, a past devotee of Sai Baba. With his permission, I have included a letter that describes his relationship with Sai Baba. Previously published on THE NEURAL SURFER (http://www.mtsac.edu/~dlane/saiessay.html), Geyerhahn's letter supports and elaborates on the accusations presented in Babu's eye-opening overview. While Sai Baba may not live up to his "perfect master" billing, it is worth noting that many of the people who have been drawn to Sai Baba are sincere spiritual seekers. As David Lane, the creator of THE NEURAL SURFER points out in picking Sai Baba as one of his top ten "Scum Bag Guru's" (http://www.mtsac.edu/~dlane/gurumay.html), "I hesitated putting this Gumby blessing Avatar on my list for over a year because his followers can be (at times) so downright sweet." Being a sincere, even a "sweet" spiritual seeker is, of course, no guarantee we won't be duped. Indeed, some of the most sincere, sweet, and discerning spiritual seekers I know were reeled in by Sai Baba -- or his devotees. But as increasing numbers of spiritual seekers mature, and our global network of ears and eyes expands, I believe it is going to be increasingly difficult for the Sai Baba's of the world to work their magic on those of us that really want to know the truth... ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo SEX, LIES & VIDEO TAPE: RETELLING THE SATYA SAI BABA STORY By G.R.R. BABU General Secretary, RATIONALIST ASSOCIATION OF INDIA THE SAI AVATAR When a luminescent ball of light entered Easwaramma while she was bathing, little did she or Pedda Venkappa Raju, her illiterate husband, realize that the Lord had chosen her surrogate womb for His next parthenocarpic incarnation. Official literature enlightens us that the Lord's coming was anticipated long ago by Jesus and Mohammed. For those who cannot find the relevant passages in their version of the Bible or Koran, a more contemporary declaration was made by the Lord Himself. In 1918 during His earlier incarnation as the Sai Baba of Shirdi, He had revealed that 8 years after leaving the Shirdi body, He would be reborn in Puttaparthi village of Easwaramma, "as the moon grows in the sky," and a male child was born on 23 November, 1926. To mark the momentous significance of the event, musical instruments in the house played by themselves at the time of the birth: the air, and a cobra, lord of reptiles, wailed in attendance to protect the Lord. It is fair to assume that just as with the birth of the Buddha, elephants trumpeted in joy, peacocks danced and the gods rejoiced. Despite His omniscience, Satyanorayana Raju -- for that was his given name -- went to school where the playful display of his miraculous powers was soon recognized by all. Friends came to love him for his magically created gifts and teachers feared his just wrath: one of them would not come unstuck from his chair, unless he begged for forgiveness and expressed remorse at ill treating the children! In 1940, after tortuous treatment by doctors for suspected mental illness, at the age of 15, Satyanarayana Raju revealed His avatarhood to the world and identified Himself as Satya Sai Baba.

  • Propublica Report to Stakeholders May-August, 2014
    ProPublica Report to Stakeholders The Power of Partnerships May-August, 2014 The latest in a series of periodic reports to our stakeholders about progress at ProPublica. Earlier reports, including our annual report for 2013 and report for the first period of 2014, are available at ProPublica.org. An Unequalled Breadth of Partnerships ProPublica has had 111 different publishing partners over six years—but per- haps more remarkable is the fact that we had 26 partners in the middle four months of 2014 alone. Both the quality and the range of these partnerships were noteworthy, including stories published exclusively with the New York Times, NPR News, the Washington Post, the Atlantic and WNYC. Our work also appeared in BuzzFeed, the Daily Beast, Mashable, Source, the Lens, Center for Investigative Reporting, Univision and Upworthy. We worked with Amazon on ebooks, and with other newspapers including the Albany Times Union, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Dallas Morning News, Miami Herald, Newark Star-Led- ger, New York Daily News, Philadelphia Inquirer and Tampa Bay Times. Pro- Publica stories also ran in the magazines Marie Claire and Sports Illustrated. We pursue such partnerships carefully. Some are de- signed to get greater reach for important stories. But most are intended to maximize the chances that our work will have impact and spur change. So when we undertake a national story with a local angle, we’ll often publish the re- sult with a lead local outlet, where the story will naturally be of greater salience. A tale of abusive charges under Medicare that centered in Chicago, published in July in the Chicago Tribune, is a perfect example; so is the story published just two weeks later in the Tampa Bay Times about how a statute designed to protect against predatory auto title loans had been undermined in Florida.

  • Law As Source: How the Legal System Facilitates Investigative Journalism
    YALE LAW & POLICY REVIEW Law as Source: How the Legal System Facilitates Investigative Journalism Roy Shapir Legal scholarshave long recognized that the media plays a key role in assuring the proper functioning of political and business markets Yet we have understudied the role of law in assuring effective media scrutiny. This Article develops a theory of law as source. The basicpremise is that the law not only regulates what the media can or cannot say, but also facilitates media scrutiny by producing information. Specifically, law enforcement actions, such as litigationor regulatory investigations, extract information on the behaviorofpowerfulplayers in business or government. Journalists can then translate the information into biting investigative reports and diffuse them widely, thereby shapingplayers' reputationsand norms. Levels of accountabilityin society are therefore not simply a function of the effectiveness of the courts as a watchdog or the media as a watchdog but rather a function of the interactions between the two watchdogs. This Article approaches, from multiple angles, the questions of how and how much the media relies on legal sources. I analyze the content of projects that won investigative reportingprizes in the past two decades; interview forty veteran reporters; scour a reporters-onlydatabase of tip sheets and how-to manuals; go over * IDC Law School. I thank participants in the Information in Litigation Roundtable at Washington & Lee, the Annual Corporate and Securities Litigation Workshop at UCLA, several conferences at IDC, the American Law and Economics Association annual conference at Boston University, and the Crisis in the Theory of the Firm conference and the Annual Reputation Symposium at Oxford University, as well as Jonathan Glater, James Hamilton, Andrew Tuch, and Verity Winship for helpful comments and discussions.

Ron Hubbard, Religious Philosophy and Religious Practice, 21 June 1960, revised 18 April 1967. "An endless freedom from is a perfect trap, a fear of all things ... Fixed on too many barriers, man yearns to be free. But launched into total freedom he is purposeless and miserable." - L. Ron Hubbard, The Reason Why; 15 May 1956. The work of L. Ron Hubbard has been surrounded by controversy since he first announced his "modern science of mental health" in 1950. His followers assert that he is not only the reincarnation of Buddha but also Maitreya, who according to Buddhist legend will lead the world to enlightenment. To Scientologists, L. Ron Hubbard is quite simply the wisest, the most compassionate and the most perceptive human being ever to draw breath. Yet, Hubbard was dubbed "schizophrenic and paranoid" by a California Superior Court judge, and Scientology dismissed as "immoral and socially obnoxious" by a High Court judge in London. Scientologists have been convicted of criminal offences in Canada, the USA, Denmark and Italy. An enormous amount of documented evidence demonstrates that Hubbard was not what he claimed to be, and that his subject does not confer the benefits claimed for it.
