Criticism of Sai Baba No Reflection On Hinduism     Date: 08-02-07 By: Exbaba Admin From: Barry Pittard at http://barrypittard.wordpress.com/ Source: http://barrypittard.wordpress.com/2007/07/25/criticism-of-sai-baba-no-reflection-on-hinduism/ Quote: A major national Hindu leader has emailed me (December 5, 2006) in the terms I quote below. (Except to those in the responsible media or other bona fide investigators who may wish to obtain a statement from him, I will not disclose his identity). However, Hindus who wish to make enquiry in their own associations as to current views of Sai Baba will be able to establish the factuality of the strong trend inimical to Sai Baba to which my distinguished correspondent points):  “There is considerable concern among the Hindu Community, especially among the educated. It is very hard to get any action from the temples as they do not wish to cause difficulties with the Sathya Sai Baba groups. People are starting to distance themselves from Sathya Sai Baba. It’s going to be gradual process of education. The biggest impact it appears was the ‘The Secret Swami’ … it seems it has had a tremendous negative effect on the SSB”.
