India -Parliament Standing Committee proceedings not open for media- Reality Views by sm - Congress Government said that it is against throwing open proceedings of the Parliamentary Standing Committees before media as it could hamper free discussions of issued besides creating logistical problems.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister P K Bansal told the proceedings of the Standing Committees should not be thrown open to media because the quality of debate and discussion that goes on in the committees may suffer due to it. Parliamentary Committees are of two kinds: Ad hoc Committees and the Standing Committees. These type of committees decide the future of India. Who is India ? India is me and you. They will decide our future and they say I and you do not have right to listen and know which committee member said what, They said this will stop the members from doing there correct job. What correct job ? Its not your own company, its not your private business , you are the servants of India, and India is the master of this servants , but agony and pain is that this master fears the servants , and servants say we, Indian masters do not have right , we are not capable to understand what is happening. You are not there to earn money, you are there to show your education and studies and say truth which may be against your party leader or any company, When you decide our future why we can not listen and know who which parliamentary committee member is saying what ? As we Indians are not aware about all these things our speed of the progress is very slow, Once we understand how the machinery works ,how the system works then we can pressure the government, but when we do not know how the machine is working then how we will repair that machine if it breaks down. We need to repair the system and for this we need to educate each other. Example – A Parliamentary committee member on television says he will oppose the increase in the tax, and when he goes inside and supports the tax , we the Indians will never know. Who cheated us ?
The Story and Crime of Chief Minister - Madhu Koda
Name - Madhu Koda
Birth - born January 6, 1971 in Patahatu, West Singhbhum
Fathers Profession – Farmer
Madhu Koda education - he did his matriculation from the zilla school, Chaibasa, and his graduation from Utkal University in Orissa through a correspondence course.
Madhu koda likes to visit Bangkok regularly.
His father wanted his son should become Policeman, but he became politician. His wife ran away in the year 2004 with the Engineer.
Madhu Koda started his political career with the All Jharkhand Students Union.
In the year 2000 BJP, Bharatiya Janata Party gave him the election ticket to contest assembly elections from Jaganathpur and he won that election.
After that under the Chief Minister Babulal Marandi, he became the Panchayati Raj Minister. In the year 2005 BJP denied the assembly election ticket to Madhu Koda.
Then Madhu Koda contested as an Independent candidate and won from Jaganathpur After that He supported the BJP led government and got the post of Minister of Mines and Geology.
In the year 2006, Madhu and other three independent legislators withdrew support to the Munda government, and with the Help of United Progressive Alliance He became the Chief Minister.
Koda resigned on August 23, 2008 from the post of Chief Minister. On 10th Oct 2009, he was charged with laundering money worth over Rs. 4000 crores.In nationwide raids by the Enforcement Directorate, assets allegedly worth Rs. 4000 crore — almost a fifth of the annual budget of the state he once ruled — were unearthed. Among others, these assets were reported to include hotels and three companies in Mumbai, property in Kolkata, a hotel in Thailand, and a coal mine in Liberia.
He has been booked under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) along with three of his State Cabinet colleagues Kamlesh Singh, Bhanu Pratap Shahi and Bhandu Tirkey, besides five others.
Koda is also alleged to have purchased mines worth 1.7 million dollars in Liberia, after he became chief minister of the mineral rich state in 2006
His investments are alleged to be spread from Singapore to Thailand to Dubai to Liberia. Income tax department officials said after the searches that some documents showed about Rs 100 crore in foreign exchange being sent by hawala transactions to Dubai, Thailand and Malayasia.
Now Mr.Koda got admitted into the hospital. To delay the arrest, he is suffering from stomach pain. We do not have any law regarding this if criminal does drama to stay in a hospital and if doctors support him ,by declaring him sick, don’t you think we need a law to punish that doctor ?
This incident of Chief Minister Koda clearly shows that our laws are weak, how easily a politician can make money, and today koda has no family support so he got caught.
Did he ever get punished under our law, now what will happen. Even it’s possible that koda will suffer natural death to save the big company officials.
Anything is possible in India. A case will start from local court, high court and then supreme court this way it will take more than 20 years to be decided, in this time slowly witnesses will run away, the files and documents will run away and at last there will be a little punishment like 1 or 3 year or no punishment at all. We need to introduce news laws; our law system is based and made by our British masters to rule the slaves.
How can we accept this system and these laws? Did you ever see any political party demanding introduction of laws like accountalbility for law maker, Politicians.
Do you remember the case of politician Sukhram, he was also found guilty under corruption charges, the local court found him guilty after 13 years and he has filed appeal in the higher court and its still pending. So 13 years this corrupt politician was outside jail and he enjoyed life. Justice Delayed is Justice Denied.

Below is the English Translation of song Vande Matram –
Mother, I bow to thee! Rich with thy hurrying streams, bright with orchard gleams, Cool with thy winds of delight, Dark fields waving Mother of might, Mother free. Glory of moonlight dreams, Over thy branches and lordly streams, Clad in thy blossoming trees, Mother, giver of ease Laughing low and sweet! Mother I kiss thy feet, Speaker sweet and low! Mother, to thee I bow. Who hath said thou art weak in thy lands When the sword flesh out in the seventy million hands And seventy million voices roar Thy dreadful name from shore to shore? With many strengths who art mighty and stored, To thee I call Mother and Lord! Thou who savest, arise and save! To her I cry who ever her foeman drove Back from plain and Sea And shook herself free. Thou art wisdom, thou art law, Thou art heart, our soul, our breath Thou art love divine, the awe In our hearts that conquers death. Thine the strength that nerves the arm, Thine the beauty, thine the charm. Every image made divine In our temples is but thine. Thou art Durga, Lady and Queen, With her hands that strike and her swords of sheen, Thou art Lakshmi lotus-throned, And the Muse a hundred-toned, Pure and perfect without peer, Mother lend thine ear, Rich with thy hurrying streams, Bright with thy orchard gleams, Dark of hue O candid-fair In thy soul, with jeweled hair And thy glorious smile divine, Loveliest of all earthly lands, Showering wealth from well-stored hands! Mother, mother mine! Mother sweet, I bow to thee, Mother great and free!
The song was composed by Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay in a mixture of Bengali and Sanskrit. And the first political occasion where it was sung was the 1896 session of the Indian National Congress. Vande Mataram is the national song of India. "Jana Gana Mana" is the national anthem of India. Vande Mataram deserved to become our national anthem, but Jan Gana Mana became the national anthem, and I respect both the songs.There is a Sanskrit verse that has been quoted since time immemorial and is very popular as a felicitation/sloka singing in south Indian carnatic music. The verses are as follows: Vande maataram Ambikaam BhagavathiVaaneeramaa Sevitham Kalyaani Kamaneeya Kalpalathikaa Kailaasa Naadha Priyaam Vedaantha Prathipaadyamaana Vibhavam Vidhvan Manoranjani Sri Chakraankitha Ratna Peettha Nilayaam Sreeraja Rajeswari Sreeraja Rajeswari Sreeraja Rajeswari
In 2003, BBC World Service conducted an international poll to choose ten most famous songs of all time. Vande Mataram was ranked second in the top ten songs. The song first appeared in Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay's book Anandamatha (pronounced Anondomôţh in Bengali), published in 1882 Jadunath Bhattacharya set the tune for this song just after it was written. This song was so powerful that British Raj feared it and banned it singing in public places and many freedom fighters broke this rule and went to jail. Today also if you will sing this song, you will feel that energy. No other song can create such power in Indian people. Vande Mataram was rejected because congress feared that the other religion people will oppose this song, example Muslims and many other religions. This song depicts the nation as "Mother Durga"—a Hindu goddess. This song was opposed by Rabindranath Tagore. Dr.Rajendra Prasad, who was presiding the Constituent Assembly on January 24, 1950, made the following statement which was also adopted as the final decision on the issue: The composition consisting of words and music known as Jana Gana Mana is the National Anthem of India, subject to such alterations as the Government may authorise as occasion arises, and the song Vande Mataram, which has played a historic part in the struggle for Indian freedom, shall be honored equally with Jana Gana Mana and shall have equal status with it. (Applause) I hope this will satisfy members. (Constituent Assembly of India, Vol. XII, 24-1-1950) Shiromani Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee or SGPC, the paramount representative body in the Sikh Panth, stated through its media department that all its 100 schools and colleges had been ordered to say `Yes' to the song. In a subsequent interview, their chief Jathedar Avtar Singh Makkar stated that "The Sikh children would sing Vande Mataram and Deh Shiva Var Mohe, the song scripted by tenth Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh, in the morning prayers". He also said "What is wrong with the Vande Mataram? It is a national song and speaks of patriotism. We are part of the Indian nation and Sikhs have greatly contributed for its independence
Watch the Video Song – Vande Mataram Vande Mataram from Bankim Chandra Chattopadyaya's "Anand Mutt" remains the classic Indian national song. This song was sung by Lata Mangeshkar and the Music Director was Hemant Kumar Mukhopadyaya...
November 3 ,2009 Jamiat-e-Ulema, an Islamic group, has issued a fatwa against the national song 'Vande Mataram.' According to reports, the Muslim Law Board has also justified this decision saying that Muslims cannot worship anyone other than Allah.

After our Independence the Congress made big mistake by not making Vande Matram the anthem of India. If you have to choose only one and other one will die and if you do not choose you will die ? What you will choose Religion or Nation , your Motherland. What is important motherland or Religion And this answer will clearly show the true intentions and how much you love our motherland India. We can not see God but we can see motherland and feel the motherland she feeds us,she is there that is reason we are here. Vande Matram.
An Attempt to Know Sathya Sai Baba – Part Two - Sathya Sai Baba Is He Magician? Sathya Sai Baba Is He Spiritual Leader? Sathya Sai Baba Is He Saint? Sathya Sai Baba Is He Cheat?
1. In 2000 UNESCO withdrew its co-sponsorship of an education conference in Puttaparthi, explaining that it was deeply concerned about the allegations that have been leveled at Sathya Sai Baba.
2. The magazine India Today published in December 2000 a cover story about the Baba and the allegations of fake miracles quoting the magician P. C. Sorcar, Jr. who considered the Baba a fraud. The meeting between P.C. Sorcar Junior and Sathya Sai Baba has now become the stuff of legend. According to the magician, he had asked for an appointment with the Baba on many occasions, only to be turned down. Finally, he asked to see the swami, posing as the son of a prominent West Bengal industrialist. The godman agreed to see him.
After Sai Baba had given him a darshan, Sorcar asked for a gift. The Baba asked him to wait, and went into the next room, presumably to hide some object or the other up his sleeve. Meanwhile, Sorcar had seen a plate of sweets lying in the room. He grabbed one and hid it on his person. Sai Baba returned shortly, and duly produced a sandesh 'out of thin air'. Sorcar said he didn't like sandeshes, and changed it 'miraculously' to a rossogolla instead.
The livid godman threw the magician out. Today, Sorcar scoffs, "He is no godman. He is not even a good magician. He is so clumsy that he is spoiling the name of all magicians. I think he should practise a lot more.
3. The Guardian and DNA noted that a travel warning was issued by the US State Department based on allegations. However, by 2009, the travel warning, which was issued in 2006, has since been removed from the consular page of India. Under the heading CRIME INFORMATION found under 'Consular information' at http://travel.state.gov/travel/warnings_consular.html - by scrolling down and selecting 'India', and scrolling down on that page one reads:- 4. "U.S. citizens should be aware that there have been reports of inappropriate sexual behavior by a prominent local religious leader at an ashram or religious retreat located in Andhra Pradesh. Most of the reports indicate that the subjects of these approaches have been young male devotees, including a number of U.S. citizens. Although these reports are unconfirmed, U.S. citizens should be aware of this information and contact the U.S. Consulate General in Chennai for further information."
5. Basava Premanand, a skeptic and amateur magician, asserted that he has been investigating Sathya Sai Baba since 1968 and emphatically believes the "guru" to be a cheater and charlatan. To date, Basava Premanand has survived four murder attempts and bears the scars from several savage beatings.
6. In 1976 a former American follower, Tal Brooke, wrote a book called Avatar of the Night: The Hidden Side of Sai Baba. In it, he referred to the guru's sexual exploits.
7. Sai Baba also enjoys a close relationship with the state police. A former head of police once acted as his personal chauffeur.
8. The Salon.com's "Untouchable" article published in 25 July 2001 reported that after Conny Larsson, a Swedish film star alleged his abuse allegations the Sai Organization in Sweden along with a Sai-affiliated school was shut down.
9. Documentaries produced by the BBC and the Danish Broadcasting Corporation, analyzing videos of the supposed miracles, suggest that they can be explained as sleight of hand tricks.
10. In October 2007, an official of the Sai Trust announced that Sathya Sai Baba would make a 'moon appearance' and asked devotees to proceed towards the (Puttaparthi) airport. The IANS reports "the 'miracle' did not happen" and his devotees "waited for an hour before dispersing." No explanation was offered by the Sai Trust on "why the 'miracle' failed to materialise.
11. UNESCO officially withdrew from an educational conference planned for September 2000 at Sai Baba's ashram under the auspices of the Sathya Sai Organization, citing "widely reported allegations of sexual abuse involving youth and children ... levelled at the leader of the movement in question, Sathya Sai Baba."
12. In June 1993, Sai Baba passively stood by while six persons were murdered in his apartments in Prashanthi Nilayam Independent Township, his main ashram, known to be completely under his strict control. After discussions between Sai Baba's officials and the local police, the police shot at close range and in cold blood killed four of these persons. Although Sai Baba reportedly first spoke to the intruders and remained nearby throughout the whole episode, conferring with his officials, he was not even questioned by police or law investigators! Due to their serious inconsistency and ineptitude, the case was taken over from the local police by the CBI, but the entire investigation was subsequently quashed by government order by the intervention of devotees of Sai Baba holding top positions of political power. Thus, no adequate court action was taken and no justice or redress was possible for the victims’ families.
13. The four executed followers, who reportedly only wished to speak to Sai Baba, killed two of Sai Baba’s attendants in a knife fight. Sai Baba later publicly declared that there was no attempt on his life.
14. Commenting upon the murders at the time, the International Chairman of Sai Baba’s Organization and a member of the Sathya Sai Central Trust, Indulal Shah, stated to pressmen: “…the matter is purely internal and we do not wish to have any law enforcement agency investigating into it.” (The Hindu, 10-6-1993). The only possible meaning of this is that the International Chairman of the Sathya Sai Organization would put the perpetrators of such major crimes completely above and beyond the law. This is exactly what has occurred so far.
15. (Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. XXIX, p.394). The official report continues: [Svaami produced the little book by a circular wave of His hand and held it before the audience.] “This is the book. You can see the cross on the cover page.
16. Below is bible photo – 17. 18. “I do not suffer form any kind of disease because there is no trace of greed in Me. That is why I am always healthy…” “There is no trace of anger or hatred in me and hence everyone loves me” (Sanathana Sarathi September 2002, page 257f) But he has suffered strokes and he is sick.
19. Since 2003, Sathya Sai Baba has been virtually crippled by a botched hip joint injury, necessitating the use of a golf buggy, an Avatar mobile' and wheelchairs - or constant support from helpers. Despite this, Sathya Sai Baba (unadvisedly) pronounced that his healing took place due to the prayers and sadhana of his devotees! - If he is God what is the reason he has to undergo operations like normal human being.
20. India’s President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam has been the chief guest during the glamorous birthday show of controversial godman Sai Baba on 23rd November 2006. It is shameful and outrageous that the Indian President pays respect to a saffron charlatan, who exploits the gullible by claiming that he can produce ‘holy ash” from thin air, cure all illnesses, has created the universe and other nonsense more. It aggravates the case against President Kalam that he did not content himself with performing a kind of public relations routine, but went out of his way praising and glorifying the charlatan.
21. “I have immense love for Sai Baba”, Dr. Kalam said in his speech at Sai Baba’s headquarters in Puttaparthi . “I penned a poem in my mother tongue to greet Sai Baba on his birthday.” And he was not ashamed to read his poem (in a Telugu translation of the Tamil original) publicly to the cheering crowd of Sai Baba devotees. The rather embarrassing piece glorified Sai Baba as a glittering lighthouse and symbol of goodness. Because of Sai Baba’s presence, the President of India rejoiced, the earth was the most blessed planet in the solar system.
22. One such story revolves around the mentally retarded son of S. Bhagavantham, former scientific advisor to the ministry of defence.
When the young boy was brought to meet the swami, he produced some vibhuti (ash) and rubbed it on the boy's back. Then, with another wave of his hand, Sai Baba produced a long needle, punctured the boy's spine and drew out some liquid. He then 'produced' some surgical dressing to put on the boy's back. Apparently, this procedure cured the young boy. Bhagavatham, however, denounced the godman as a fake towards the end of his life. He never went public with the-reasons for his disillusionment with the Baba, but cut the godman out of his life completely.
23. Last and most important there are very few criminal cases are filed, and many people have later withdrawn that cases, or did not file the criminal cases.
24. About there trust , I did not find any monetary information but on few web sites I came to read many rich American people fund the Sathya Sai trust. Whatever good thing is they have started schools and hospitals, In India many rich people fund the trust and these trusts do not do any kind of social service, if they do there social service also means chanting for the well being of Dharma etc. For me Roti is more important than Dharma What is the use of Dharma if human is dying because he do not have water to drink and roti to eat , when there plenty is available in society. Every year Because of Hunger Ten lakh people Die in India.
25. There are many sex charges against Sathya Sai Baba, but as there is no formal police complaint or FIRST INFORMATION Report is filed against Sathya Sai Baba so I did not cover the sex offences.
Watch the videos carefully you may find tricks. Watch THE Video Sathya Sai Baba Doing Magic –
Watch the Video Lingam Magic –
On internet there are lot of such videos are available I have just posted two.
Now its every reader has to decide is he magician or cheat or God.
Reality Views by sm – Conclusion –
Just remember will you accept progress with science or magic.
When in India magic was at its peak, that time we Indians were slave of Arabs, Muslims, Portuguese French, and British.
So what this magic has given us, slavery of heart, it has made Indians lazy and coward people. Just few hundred outsiders came here and ruled us, but this magic has not given us freedom.
Open your eyes and choose the path of science , we may live in poverty but live with the science, one day science will give us tube light and bulb, light and your magic will make you a slave and make you future generations also a slave of a kind.
• As there is no magic, only hard work and honesty pays. With Magic you can fool uneducated Indians, which is very common in India, people do not have food, water and education and no hope for better life , when situation is like this ,if some one comes and shows them magic they accept him as God, a hungry person can not see magic or cheating, hungry person only dreams about roti, food with or without sleep. He is always thinking in his mind someone will come and rescue him, in reality no one comes .
• Hundred years back your grandfather was a beggar and today you are beggar. Hundred years back your grandfather also found the Baba, but still he died in the poverty and without medicine and in future you will also go through same. No baba will rescue you.
• Why politicians and Filmstars and Celebrities Go to such places and Gurus ? Answer -Remember they have done hard work, they have earned everything and they want to safeguard there money and want to earn more money, or want to get peace of mind as many become rich by deceiving poor people, in this situation they visit the babas to get the peace of mind.If you read newspapers you can always read that bank robbers or income tax evaders donating to temples and praying that hey god give me more money and I will pay you 10%.
• Sathya Sai Baba has said that the world should come to him with empty hands. On the other hand, he has succeeded in getting many to come to him with their hands full of gold.
• “I do not need grand decorations, huge pandals, arches, flags and such paraphernalia … Even a chair is superfluous! … Spend sparing to the minimum needs; do not involve yourselves in expensive luxury. I would like you to spend any extra money that you have for the feeding of the poor or for any similar beneficial object.” Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol VII, p. 100
• Satya Sai Baba said at Brindavan, 14-12-1963, "Let Me tell you this now itself: I do not like this pomp and show. I do not derive any joy out of it. Pomp, such as this, has become a fashion now, even among ascetics and monks who ought to know better. They profess poverty and simplicity and yet, they allow or encourage their disciples to waste much energy and money on pomp and pageantry which serve only to develop the egotism of themselves and their followers. The emphasis on show makes a thing hollow of all meaning." (Sathya Sai Speaks Vol 3., p 228)
• Today in India every city we will find many types of Babas and Gurus , we do not have any law which we can use against them . Don’t you think we need special law regarding this . In Maharashtra still black magic bill is pending from many years.
• Today in India on Television you will see and find that every television channel is showing advertisements which are spreading and selling the items which science can not prove . There is selling of magical items by filmstars and television stars which will give you anything which you desire and they do not think this is vulgar, and cheating, such channels are not banned in India.
• In UK one of such channel was banned for showing such advertisements which make people fools by playing with the emotions and selling them lockets.
• If he can produce gold ,why do not produce unlimited Gold and remove the poverty from India . • If you are God why you do not give us the list of Swiss Bank Accounts • If you are God why don’t you save us from drought • If you are God why don’t you stop 26/11 attack • If you are God why don’t you give us cure on AIDS AND H1N1 • If you are God why don’t you stop killing of female child in wombs permanently • Hey God This is prayer to you if you exist there do this miracles
Believe In Humanity: Look Within and you will find the truth, you do not need any agent of God to reach the God, if there is god, he has not appointed any one as his agent, he is capable to look after his all children.
Humans because of financial conditions need the help of others to raise the kids, the god who has created this universe do you think he needs the help of Human agents to run his empire.
Basic Question is Does really god is there , for this article lets believe Yes there is God but still think on the above lines and behave.

An Attempt to Know Sathya Sai Baba – Part One Sathya Sai Baba Is He Magician? Sathya Sai Baba Is He Spiritual Leader? Sathya Sai Baba Is He Saint? Sathya Sai Baba Is He Cheat?
Real Name - Sathyanarayana Raju
Date of Birth 23 November 1926 (1926-11-23) (age 82)
Place of birth Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh, and India
Sathya Sai Baba – Childhood
Sathyanarayana Raju was born to Eswaramma and Peddavenkama Raju (with the family name of "Ratnakaram")
Easwaramma described Sathyanarayana as being born of Immaculate Conception. She the mother of SSB, relates, "I had dreamt of Sathya Narayana Deva and she cautioned me that I should not be frightened if something happened to me through the Will of God.
That morning when I was at the well drawing water, a big ball of blue light came rolling towards me and I fainted and fell. I felt it glided into me". Sathya Sai Baba confirmed this in a 2003 birthday discourse.
A teacher of Sathyanarayna, Sri V.C. Kondappa, recalls his former student. "The boys, gathered around him for the things he 'took' out of his empty bag! When asked about it, he said that a certain 'Angel' obeyed his will and gave him whatever he wanted!" The empty bag often produced "delectable sweets, pencils, pieces of rubber, toys, flowers and fruits. Becoming God - "His special talents were for drama, music, poetry and acting. On the twentieth day of October, 1940, he proclaimed himself to be a reincarnation of the fakir and saint Sai Baba of Shirdi and subsequently took the fakir's name, Sai Baba.
Family members and neighbors however were not convinced. They approached the young Sathya and said, "If you are Sai Baba, give us some proof." "Give me those jasmine flowers," said young Sathya. After receiving them, he threw them on the floor. The flowers, according to those present, "arranged themselves as the letters Sai Baba in Telugu."
"Sathyanarayana Raju was commonly known either as Bala Sai (Boy Sai) or Sathya Sai Baba, an appellation which he himself accepted."
In 1944, a mandir (temple) for Sathya Sai Baba's devotees was built near the village. It is now referred to as the old mandir.
The construction of Prashanthi Nilayam, the current ashram, was started in 1948. "Prasanthi Nilayam was inaugurated on the twenty-third of November, 1950, the twenty-fourth birthday of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. It took about two years to build."
Today, Puttaparthi has undergone enormous change. It has been transformed from a small village to a world pilgrimage center. Sathya Sai Baba's efforts have resulted in a deemed university with three campuses and two "super specialty" hospitals that cater to the needs of the poor free of charge.
In 1960, Sathya Sai Baba said that he would be in this mortal human form for another 59 years.
In 1963, Sathya Sai Baba suffered a stroke and four severe heart attacks.
During the Guru Poornima discourse, Sathya Sai Baba made statements declaring himself a reincarnation of Shiva and Shakti.
He also claimed that Sai Baba of Shirdi was an incarnation of Shiva and that his future reincarnation, Prema Sai Baba, would be a reincarnation of Shakti.
He publicly repeated the claim that he is the second of three incarnations in 1976. Baba's biography states that Prema Sai Baba will be born in Mysore State. He said, "I have been keeping back from you all these years one secret about me; the time has come when I can reveal it to you. This is a sacred day. I am Siva-Sakthi," He declared, "born in the gothra of Bharadwaja, according to a boon won by that sage from Siva and Sakthi. Siva was born in the gothra of that sage as Sai Baba of Shirdi; Siva and Sakthi have incarnated as myself in his gothra now; Sakthi alone will incarnate as the third Sai (Prema Sai Baba) in the same gothra in Mysore State."
1976 interview with Blitz Magazine, Sathya Sai Baba was asked by Sri R.K. Karanjia (Senior Editor of Blitz Magazine), why he had incarnated. Sathya Sai Baba responded, "Because that is the only way to incarnate the God within man.; therefore, in my present Avathar, I have come armed with the fullness of the power of formless God to correct mankind, raise human consciousness and put people back on the right path of truth, righteousness, peace and love to divinity."
Sathya Sai Baba gives discourses on religious topics to devotees in his native language Telugu. Sathya Sai Baba has said that his followers do not need to give up their original religion, saying "My objective is the establishment of sanathana dharma, which believes in one God as propitiated by the founders of all religions.
So none has to give up his religion or deity I have come not to disturb or destroy any Faith, but to confirm each in his own Faith, so that the Christian becomes a better Christian, the Muslim a better Muslim and a Hindu a better Hindu.
According to "Ocean of Love", a book published by the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, "there is no new path that He is preaching, no new order that He has created. There is no new religion that He has come to add or a particular philosophy that He recommends ... His mission is unique and simple. His mission is that of love and compassion."

Bhagawati (Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India), Ranganath Misra (Chair Person, National Human Rights Commissioner of India and Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India), Najma Heptulla (President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union; UNDP Distinguished Human Development Ambassador) and Shivraj Patel (Member of Parliament, India; Formerly of the Lok Sabha & Union Minister) all signed a letter which stated as follows "We are deeply pained and anguished by the wild, reckless and concocted allegations made by certain vested interests and people against Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
We would normally expect that responsible media would ascertain the true facts before printing such calumny - especially when the person is revered globally as an embodiment of love and selfless service to humanity. Since this professional ethic has not been observed by a section of the media, we have elected to go public with this signed statement."

Robbie Williams - Feel Lyrics with Video Watch the Video Feel below the Lyrics of Feel – Lyrics-
Come and hold my hand I wanna contact the living Not sure I understand This role I've been given I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans My head speaks a language I don't understand
I just wanna feel Real love feel the home that I live in Cos I got too much life Running through my veins Going to waste I don't wanna die But I ain't keen on living either Before I fall in love I'm preparing to leave her
Scare myself to death That's why I keep on running Before I've arrived I can see myself coming I just wanna feel Real love feel the home that I live in Cos I got too much life Running through my veins Going to waste And I need to feel Real love and the love ever after I can not get enough
I just wanna feel Real love feel the home that I live in I got too much love Running through my veins To go to waste
I just wanna feel Real love and the love ever after There's a hole in my soul You can see it in my face It's a real big place
Come and hold my hand I wanna contact the living Not sure I understand This role I've been given Not sure I understand Not sure I understand Not sure I understand Not sure I understand
