Re: Sai Baba Exposed
I am not a follower of Satya Sai Baba, but I resent that an obvious anglo
is trying to attack his movement as a cult. They would not dare attack
a christian movement, a offshoot Jewish movement, or even a Moslem
movement as a cult, for obvious reasons. These groups have political
clout that we Indians do not. Religious beliefs are based upon faith
that cannot be proven. But, Ms. Lindemann, our faith is more established
than any you can hope to have. Just because our faith is not one of the
major strands in America, does not make it a cult.
As I said I am not a follower of Sai Baba, but I know several who
are. They do not have stamps of cultists. They have lives of their own
and there lives are not ruled by and are not subject to a single will.
I think Hindus should wake up and protest bigoted attacks from whatever
quarter. Whether they be Pat Robertson, who calls Hinduism a demonic
religion or are someone trying to typecast what I and my forebears have
believed in as being something inferior to their beliefs.
