Critics Boast Support From 'Independent Website'

Critics Boast Support From 'Independent Website'

Critics Of Sathya Sai Baba are so desperate to deceive others, they are now boasting they have received “support from an independent website”. See the following screencap taken from the ExBaba Domain:


Jumping up and down and rejoicing in what they perceive to be “support from an independent website”, the ExBaba Admin even duplicated the webpage onto their own domain:


The alleged “independent website” is actually My Hot Watch Blog - ‘Momenti D Amore’. Since Ex-Devotees possess the researching abilities of a gnat, they are confusing a spam blog with an “independent website”. The MyHotWatch blog has a tag entitled “Independent-London”, under which five articles pertaining to London were published. Included in the list was an article from Barry Pittard (he made reference to the Times Of London, which is why it was listed under the “Independent-London” tag).

The MyHotWatch blog essentially generates tags for certain topics and then scours RSS feeds and duplicates articles onto their blog matching those tags. Being a spam blog, it should come as no suprise that the MyHotWatch blog is heavily associated with pornography and sexually explicit material (just a couple examples out of hundreds):



These are the lamentable and absurd articles that Ex-Devotees typically publish on their ever-so-inaccurate Anti-Sai websites in vain attempts to boost their perceived ‘popularity’. Needless to say, Ex-Devotee’s shabby and dreadful research is one of their most distinguishing characteristics. Read a similar article about critic’s misrepresentations of Sai-related websites.

If the MyHotWatch blog is an “independent website” supporting Ex-Devotees, then I guess they see nothing wrong with being supported by people who also support pornography. The theatrics and clown-like antics from Ex-Devotees are so laughable it is very difficult to understand how anyone can take any of them seriously.

PREDICTABLE OCTOBER 28TH 2008 UPDATE:
Within 12 hours of publishing this article, the relevant citation about Ex-Devotee’s receiving “support from an independent website” was removed without explanation. However, the duplicate webpage has not yet been removed.
PREDICTABLE OCTOBER 29TH 2008 UPDATE:
The ExBaba Admin removed the duplicate page without explanation.

Asa Samsioe & Psychic Conny Larsson

Asa Samsioe aka Åsa Samsioe


Asa Samsioe is a former devotee of Sathya Sai Baba and a psychologist residing at Leksand, Sweden. Samsioe wrote a public review praising Conny Larsson’s Anti-Sathya-Sai-Baba book entitled “Behind The Mask Of The Clown” (saibabaexpose.com/bokrecension.htm). Åsa Margareta Samsioe’s praise of Conny Larsson is rather enigmatic considering that she publicly endorsed, promoted and solicited the integrity and crediblity of a man who happens to be a cult-like leader and guru who claims he is a psychic trance medium for the spirit of Vyasa.

Maharshi Vyasa (who is believed to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu) is considered an immortal sage who wrote the sacred texts to the Vedas, the Brahma Sutras, the Mahabharata, the Eighteen Puranas, the Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam. For Conny Larsson to claim that he is channeling the spirit of Vyasa, he is presenting himself as a self-proclaimed prophet, guru and cult-leader whose words carry the authority of God and are to be considered on par with divinely inspired scriptures that are revered by hundreds of millions of Hindus around the globe!

However, Conny Larsson not only claims he is trance medium for the spirit of Vyasa, he also claims to be a spirit channeler, a pet psychic, a meditation guru, a yoga guru, a Vedic mantra guru, a devotee of Shankaracharya Swami Brahmananda Saraswati and a psychic therapist who can diagnose disease and illness by using a crystal pendulum (Ref)! Conny Larsson also runs the Vedic Master Website and publicly solicits himself with other psychics, mediums, spirit channelers and New Age practitioners (Ref).

It is nothing less than shameful and hypocritical that Åsa Samsioe (a psychologist and anti-guru advocate) would publicly praise Conny Larsson’s Anti-Sai-Baba book and vouched for his integrity and crediblity although he is a self-professed prophet, an alleged “internationally renown” psychic trance medium and a New Age guru.

Did Conny Larsson con Åsa Samsioe by purposely suppressing the fact that he is a psychic medium, trance channel for the spirit of Vyasa, Vedic mantra guru and meditation master? It would appear so. Conny Larsson also conned the Anti-Cult organization FECRIS into publicizing him, conned the Anti-Cult expert Rigmor Robert into writing the preface to his Anti-Baba book and conned the Indian rationalist, skeptic and atheist Basava Premanand into publishing his Anti-Baba book in English. Basava Premanand happens to believe that psychics like Conny Larsson are frauds, liars and cheats and is willing to pay anyone who can demonstrate alleged psychic abilities 100,000 Rs (Ref). Why are all these Anti-Cult, Anti-Guru and Anti-Sect people and organizations endorsing, publishing and promoting Conny Larsson? Did self-professed “multi-millionaire” Conny Larsson pay for these endorsements?

Then again, Asa Samsioe’s Anti-Sai Activism is not surprising. Åsa Samsioe is the same person who maliciously and erroneously accused Easwaramma (Sathya Sai Baba’s mother) of infanticide (saiguru.net/english/articles/114abortive pregnancies.htm)! Samsioe irrationally speculated that because Easwaramma miscarried four times before Sathya Sai Baba’s birth, the four miscarriages must have been females and must have been murdered because Easwaramma desired a son and female infanticide occurs in India. Åsa Samsioe is a gutter and low-caliber critic who thrives on conspiracy theories and disseminates frenzied speculations as the truth. This is the type of person who is attempting to speak on behalf of Conny Larsson’s alleged “integrity” and uses her “psychologist” title to push Anti-Sai propaganda.

Skeptic And Atheist Forces Son Into Religious Hindu Ritual

Mangalore doctor Bevinje Srinivas Kakkilaya (a skeptic, rationalist and atheist who is the webmaster and registrant from the indiansceptic.in domain) apparently forced his son Akshaya to engage in a Upanayana (Sacred Thread) Hindu religious ritual that involved initiation and blessings from Hindu priests, prayers to Goddesses, prayers to the Sun God, chanting of the Gayathri Mantra, offering respect to gurus and education in the Vedas (click on thumbnail of Akshaya's Upanayana to enlarge):


The big question left unanswered is:

  1. Why is BS Kakkilaya (a staunch Indian rationalist, skeptic and atheist) forcing his son Akshaya to engage in superstitious and religious rituals when he operates a website that is anti-superstition, anti-religion and anti-guru?
