The film is a bit too grainy, even on my “huge” laptop screen/monitor. I only came up with the image of the necklace upon seeing the rest of the first video. Prior to that I had spent just under five minutes on the first few seconds of the video to observe the circle. I am a rare person, nowadays of 20/20 vision and still was left guessing as to what the controversy was. Therefore, I must declare that I didn’t truthfully see anything conclusive suggesting whether Sathya Sai Baba did or did not ‘cheat’. I also have not witnessed any of the allegations against him (Baba), and therefore cannot declare an objective opinion and I will refrain from judgment. I think the point of a select amount of certain gurus as false teachers is valid and I respect in it terms of helping those who are seeking to be more vigilant in their spiritual quest.
I am not in doubt of the allegations just as I am not convinced of them. I do know that this practice is quite common among “spiritual leaders” of various spiritual ties throughout human civilization. Every allegation listed has been founded among many and that is unfortunate. I just cannot comment any further on this one, as I do not have the evidence in my own hands to make a fair and substantial statement. I full-well realize that I have made many hypothetical statements in the past, especially regarding society and it’s direction. However, I can see various effects taking place in real time and on a daily basis. I cannot see Baba’s effects, as he has not exposed himself to me, or I to him. If you’d like my “gut” reaction or assessment, I ‘d say you’re absolutely correct.
