Re: Sathya Sai Baba's Birth Certificate

I was pleased to see Dragonslayers recent message about the VERY important book: "Love is My Form", Vol 1. (Sai Towers, October 2000)
I can comfortably accept his correspondent's expert remarks about birthdates in India and the need not to rush to judgement over that particular detail.

However, since the devotee correspondent gives the book a deserved recommendation for meticulous research, I wonder what his/her attitude is to the book's other important (and original)items of convincing factual evidence which seriously conflict with some of Sai Baba's (and the Sathya Sai Organisation's) statements and Sathya Sai Baba's stories: for example the Date of the "Declaration of Sai Baba-hood"! (1943, with convincing School Register photostat evidence -, as I pointed out in my November 2001 web-book - SSathya Sai Baba-GOG)

Also the (Sathya Sai Speaks) Discourse "story" about helping his schoolmates to (cheat and) pass an exam that the book shows he was not even allowed to take! ETC. ETC.

Please READ "Love is My Form". I don't have shares in Sai Towers but this deeply researched book is already proving to be very important in this search for the truth. But if you use its information, please acknowledge the fact. It is simply a question of normal good writing/research manners.

Has Volume 2 appeared yet? I can't wait!

Best wishes,
