Subject: SEXUAL ABUSER
Hi there (in
reply)
the reason I wont post a lot of details of this here is because i
have family members (who do not believe me) in close proximity to Sai
Baba. Secondly this was a very hurtful event which left me confused about
myself in general.
At the time, I was 17 years old, I am now 32 years old, have been
married and recently widowed. My wife knew of my former faith with
sai baba, but she never knew of this abusive experience.
some of my family members know the truth now (they are sympathetic to
me and want me to get help).
the shame I felt was very bad. I grew up in the bal vikas program
from the age of 10 years old, in the UK. I knew many sai devotees
including Dr Ghadia who travels the UK AND US (where I am now
located), I was very "into" the sai experience and very much a
devotee. I did not question his validity at the time, I was someone
whose family was heavily involved. My mother was a bal vikas teacher
at the time and is still very much a devotee.
She is someone who will not believe that sai baba is capable of
molestation, but he is. It is to protect her that I do not give my
name, because she lives and works there in prashanti nilayam.
As an adult I tried to put the past behind me but realised recently
that this never really goes away. the shame and hurt still exist
especially because at the time sai baba was some whom I felt very
close to. His shudders and disgusts me now to think that when I was a
teenager he used to stare at me when I went to darshan line. I
thought he was blessing me but now I know it was all because he was
sexually interested. I was his next victim.
I did not begin to speak out until I realised a few years ago that i
am not the only person he has abused. He is a menace to teenage boys
who are to afraid and ashamed to speak up. Peer pressure from my
family made me shut up at the time, but I am an adult now and I can
speak the truth.
As what to do about it I don’t know, if he were here in the US he
would have been prosecuted and convicted long ago. He is a paedophile
who blankets himself with the reputation of a god/living saint
drawing people to him through his "miracles", and speeches. He
does
have a certain charisma, which has helped him get to the position he
is in.
However he is in India , and he cannot really be touched there.
I am very sad for other victims and saddened by the fact that there
are more potential victims.
Yours truthfully
