The US Sai Organization in conjunction with the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust is investigating US devotees' desires to see live or delay broadcasting over the internet of Swami's discourses, darshan, cultural events in Prasanthi Nilayam, and the like. They are requesting devotees residing in the US to complete and submit a US Questionnaire on the US Sathya Sai web site. It is extremely important to gather user data so that they can make suitable computer arrangements. Currently the survey is for US devotees only. Thank you.

Don't sign the form! Baba won't approve of it, because 'Swami' has nothing to do with the internet!)

 

 

Two quotes from Alexandra Nagel's

For and Against Sathya Sai Baba on the Internet:

1. "Some of the elders sitting at the Verandah are indulging in gossip; it is finding its way into the internet. (…) Swami has nothing to do with the internet. Not only now, even in future also. You should not indulge in such wrong activities."

refers to a conversation Sai Baba had in 1979-1980 concerning the use of computers at a university. “No,” Sai Baba had said then to Michael Goldstein, “The growing tendency to rely on computers and calculators to provide answers to problems is bringing about a rapid deterioration of intellect.” It is printed in John Hislop, (who was present when this conversation took place), My Baba and I, San Diego: Birthday, 1985.
