I am curious to know if any of the readers of this group have an opinion about Sathya Sai Baba. I had a chance to see him when I was in India several years ago, and he seems to be a most interesting spiritual teacher. -Tom tedrick@ernie.berkeley.edu

People have called Sri Satya Sai Baba a ... cheat, sham, magician, gay, miracle worker, faith healer, avtar, god ... So it is difficult to form a single opinion. My personal views ... Hmm .... I think he is a scorpio. --- das@orstcs

I will say one thing for Sai baba : he has used the enormous wealth he has earned very wisely: by investing in India. His organization runs colleges, farms etc. This is in stark contrast to Mahesh or Rajneesh who as far as I know have done nothing comparable.
