A summary and critical study of the emails from Murali Krishna Yachendra
from ‘Sabotage by Murali Krishna Yachendra’ [309 pages - Editor
B. Premanand – 11/7 Chettipalayam Rd., Podanur – 641 023. Tamilnadu,
India. Price including overseas postage is US$10.-]
In the text below, SSB stands for Sathya Sai Baba and MK stands for
Murali Krishna (also named Yachendra)
Since the Sai Petition Administration carefully checks all suspicious
stories and avoids posting those which are suspicious, Murali Krishna’s
bogus entry and follow-up mails about sex abuses and worse was totally
unsuccessful (see his first set of e-mails here). He was asked to contact
Barry Pittard and Basava Premanand with his ‘information’... this
led to a very long set of e-mails in which he compounded his lies to
such an extraordinary extent. However, exSaiBaba group members played
up to his pretences, realising that this would expose the methods of
persons working to sabotage on behalf of Sai Baba and his officials.
Murali Krishna was a student and later also a temporary ‘teacher’
at the Sai colleges. More than that, his well-known Venkatagiri family
has always had the closest of connections with Sathya Sai Baba and not
least to
Sai officialdom in
Puttaparthi and Brindavan. Here one can see the content of the first
contacts with this lying Sai devotee Murali Krishna to view the range
and cunningness of his deceptions (which he later admitted to be lies
when he finally ‘came clean’ about being a totally devoted devotee
on Sai Baba bulletin boards. But is he an example of a good Sai devotee?).
However, despite being informed of this, Gerald ‘Joe’ Moreno [representing
the interests of Sai Baba and the International Sai Organization] defended
and promoted him as a genuine, honest person (Moreno’s unfounded and
pretentious claims documented below)!!
An exchange of e-mails between Murali Krishna Yachendra and ex-SaiBaba
group representatives began which extended over months, during which
Yachendra developed his lies further and further, using all kinds of
deceits to try to cover up his mistakes. In order to find out as much
about him as possible, he was kept in the belief that he was being taken
seriously. In this he was drawn out and the depth of his cunning and
deceit showed itself up to the full. The emails and actions based on
them were very many, and a summary of it all (here below) is from the
book ‘Sabotage by Murali Krishna Yachendra’
Praball
Mall
Now let us take
one by one the testimonials of MK and find out whether they are true or false.
In his email of 14-11-2004 he informed that a letter from one Praball
Mall a senior student, teacher from Assam was circulated which has lead
to a mass exodus of students which even now the authorities struggle
to contain.
When MK was asked whether he can acquire a copy of the letter of Praball
Mall he replied on 26.12.2004 that he can in due time may be after 1
or 2 months when he visits Parthi again. But he would surely get it
for us.
In his email of 3.1.2005 MK confirmed that Praball Mall’s letter will
be surely given within the specified time. In his email of 6.1.2005
he mentioned that he has seen personally at least 20 students disappear
within a span of days when they were found with Praball Mall’s letter.
Here again it was a Ploy and as MK had not really prepared the letter
of Praball Mall after consultation with Sathya Sai Organization, he
could not even explain what was the content of the letter. It is probable
that emails by MK were dictated by the SSB leaders who are legal luminaries.
Lots of
students thrown away
Now let us look into the statement by MK on 14.11.2004 that lots of
students who were used and thrown away by him (SSB) would not talk to
anyone except MK as he was very close to them. He also stated that he
had tried to get a few people’s addresses it was of no avail and he
does not know if they are alive. If this was the case what is the use
of MK knowing that they were used and thrown away? This was the way
he tried to confuse Barry without specific allegations and it needed
lots of intelligence.
MK outcasted
and hit squads sent
Now let us find what MK has to say about himself. In the same email
he mentioned that there are already major fears among the hostel authorities
that is why they outcasted him last year (2003) and sent hit squad after
him in Madras.
In his email of 13.12.2004 he stated that he was asked to leave the
place (Prasanthi Nllayam) the next day (12.1.1994) empty handed. If
this is true the principal, Sri Sathya Sai Higher Secondary School would
not have given him a work certificate dated 16.8.1996 stating that he
served as TGT in Social studies during the period of 1.7.1988 to 23.4.1996
and relieved from his duty on his request letter dated 23.4.1996. That
on May 10th 2002 they caught him in (PN) but he escaped and is running
from them till today. That he survived three attempts and is now in
a secluded village in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh. In the email
of 23.12.2004 he stated that nobody knows where he is.
When he was questioned whether he has any proof that SSB sent hit squads
after him in Madras MK replied on 26.12.2004 that there is no proof
at all, that if he was killed it would have made to look like a pure
accident. When questioned to explain the 3 attempts he explained that
the first attack was on 12.5.2003 in an alley in KK Nagar in Chennai,
that one of the 3 people pulled out a knife and said clearly “traitor
of Baba” that he screamed and suddenly 3 people came out of their
houses and the assailants ran away. On 20.3.2004 in 28th street in KK
Nagar he was again attacked and he ran into ‘some house and struck
up a conversation as a sales man. When he went to his room every thing
was burnt. On 18.7.2004 he was attacked in an alley in Nellore town,
but he escaped by scaling a small wall.
In his email of 3.1.2005 MK explained that both the attempts on him
were because he was in possession of some names and addresses of students
who were anti SSB and were at that time studying in Puttapatrhi. Though
first he stated that every thing was burnt, he changed it to that his
house was raided and materials were lost or taken away.
It is sure that nothing in MK’s house was burnt because none of the
neighbours knew it. Moreover he was working with Sathya Sai enterprises,
Chennai from 1.5.1996 to 2.5.1997 after he left the teaching job on
23.4.1996 as per the certificate given by the Principal of SSSHSS dated
16.8.1996 and G.S. Raheja Finance and Investments Ltd., Madras until
10.10.2002 as per the work certificate given by them. This is confirmed
by MK. in his article in the internet dated 9.2.2005. Surprisingly he
states that he had to return to his native district Nellore as his mother’s
health was very serious after 2002. MK has not explained how he would
be attacked on 12.5.2003 and 20.3.2004 at Madras when he was in Nellore
and also not explained how he knew that. In a new information from email
dated 2.6.2005 he was working with Gayathri Securities which could be
only after he left G.S. Raheja Finanace & Investments Ltd., As he
has not given a copy of the work certificate from Gayathri Securities
it has to be investigated and his connection with Ramchand in Chennai
to whom he wanted Barry to send US $300 or 400 for his expenses. While
MK was working in Madras he might have been staying there, so his allegation
on 13.12.2004 that he is running from them till today is false. Moreover
if the hit squad knew where MK was and attacked him 3 times in Madras
and Nellore it is sure they would have been behind him and murdering
anyone is the easiest and if the idea of the hit squad was to make it
look like a pure accident as alleged by MK, they would not have come
with Knife and bawled out “traitor of Baba” when one of them came
to him with knife. They would have simply come with a vehicle to the
alley and knocked him out to make it look like an accident. This would
prove that these were all stories. If it was true he would have filed
an F.I.R in the police station. In his email MK alleges that it was
the same people who attacked him all the three times. More over many
of MK’s relatives are staying
in Madras who would have helped him including his bosses to complain
to the police.
If the SSB had identified MK was a traitor his photograph would have
been in all police stations of Andhra Pradesh as alleged by him in his
email of 3.1.2005 that the police were given shoot at site orders. If
would have been easier to shoot him as in an encounter.
If what MK told
in his email of 23.12.2004 that nobody knows where he is, then the alleged hit
squads would not have been able to trace him three times.
The most humorous was the statement in email of 29.12.2004 when MK said
that he can guarantee my security in Nellore or in Chennai because he
has travelled a lot to these places in the past year and have had no
problems.
Returned from the
accursed place (Prasanti Nilayam)
MK in his email of 24.11.2004 informs that he has just returned from
that accursed place (Prasanthi Nilayam) and that he can sense the end
is coming. On 4.12.2004 he confirms that his clandestine visit to Parthi
was a few days back and one could feel the tension in the air due to
the Shankaracharya’s arrest.
To a question by Barry as to the precise date of MK’s visit to Puttaparthi
recently, he replied on 26.12.2004 “exactly on 29.11.2004. “ This
is not true because on 24.12.2004 he states that he had just returned
from that accursed place!
Parents Murdered
MK in his email
of 13.12.2004 alleged that his parents were killed by hit squad on 5.6.2002 in
Chennai and that the details are too gruesome to be told. Though initially this
pained us so much and felt sorry for him.
In this reply of 26.12.2004 to our questions as to how he concluded
that SSB - related forces killed his parents in Chennai, was any F.I.R
filed, police complaint given, postmortem done, his reply was very vague.
He said that he has never seen or traced his parents for the past 2
years. That he prefers not to discuss this with anyone. He cried for
days together, but have steeled his resolve to get to the truth. That
his contact in Puttaparthi told him that they are no more. At this time
MK was working with the Raheja’s until 10.10.2002 and he was staying
with his parents. So the story that his contact told him that they are
no more was a big bluff. The very fact that he did not say anything
about the complaint to police, F.I.R and postmortem proved that he was
lying. In his email of 3.1.2005 he informed that he is doing all this
over the dead bodies of his parents. When Barry is suffering when his
friend glen passed away he told Barry that he can well imagine how he
must have cried for his dead parents who were the only ones dear to
his heart.
MK was to meet me on 7th or 8th of January 2005 at Vijayavada and in
his email of 5.1.2005 he wanted me to arrange for a return ticket from
Vijayavada to Nellore the same evening as he has some very personal
work which cannot be postponed at any cost.
MK in his email of 6.1.2005 tried to gain our sympathy. He said “whatever
I am doing have done in connection with SSB is dedicated to my parents.
Till I last saw them they were very staunch devotees of SSB who refused
to budge to my repeated proddings. What did they do to deserve such
fate that they finally met with? I also will surely meet with such a
fate irrespective of what you might say but in the meantime,
I wanted to do something for my parents which will bring peace to their
souls. The lie about his parents murder was exposed when he stated “.
Incidentally the last time I saw them was on 9.1.2003 and I observe
that day as their death day and that is why I want to come to Nellore
immediately to pray for them in a temple that they faithfully visited
for over thirty years.
When MK said that his parents were murdered on 5.6.2002 it was really
comical when he said that the last time he saw them was on 9.1.2003.
His mentioning my book in email of 6.1.2005 “Murders in SSBs Bedroom”
proved that he has read it from Puttaparthi before planning the sabotage
by trying to infiltrate into the ex SSB Group. He mentioned that the
person who was directly responsible for Radhakrishna’s murder was
his relative who was MKs close friend and lives now in Coonoor and knew
every thing beforehand.
With all his above statements that he has to return to Nellore the same
day to observe January 9th as the death day of his parents, MK in his
email of 10.1.2005 informed that he had been to Chennai from Vijayawada
without going to Nellore. This proved that he was bluffing.
Spectacular Photos
in Venkatagiri
In his email of 4.12.2004 sent at 7:31 pm MK mentioned that there are
some spectacular photos of SSB taken unknowingly by his uncle and they
are in Venkatagiri while his uncle is in Hyderabad. In his email of
26.12.2004 MK mentioned the name of this uncle as Madana Gopala Krishna
Yachendra and they are in the basement in the palace along with hundreds
of photos and that he can lead me there. The photos were supposedly taken
when SSB was sexually abusing some workers. The very purpose of using
the word “unknowingly” brings out the lie.
And when asked whether he needs some assistance to go to Venkatagiri
to get the Photographs, he expressly avoided the question and said that
it is very risky for the next one month as there are lots of functions
now in the palace. He can take the friend whom you trust only after
Feb 10th 2005 but he should be prepared for a long haul for guaranteed
success. It can be done but will require your friend to spare a lots
of time to search hundreds of photos. Even if there were thousands it
could have been done within one night.
In his email of 3.1.2005 sent at 8:31 PM he states that the Venkatagiri
trip has. to wait a few months. He also talks about the risk pointing
that Venkatagiri is a place totally devoted to SSB and access to the
palace will be tough but he will get in ultimately and get the job done.
In his email of 5.1.2005 he assures that the Venkatagiri trip will be
undertaken anytime after the Parthi trip and warns that we have no idea
about the evilness of the place like Venkatagiri.
In the later emails there was nothing about the Venkatagiri photographs.
In his email of 5.2.2005 sent at 4:33 am wherein MK sent a list of the
evidences he had collected there was no mention of the spectacular photos
from Venkatagiri. This very clearly proves that this was a fraud played
on us. MK also avoided one question as to what was spectacular in the
photos.
3 students sexually
abused and murdered
On 23.12.2004 he mentioned about Siddharth Singh, Om Prakash and Das
Gupta who were alleged to have been sexually abused by SSB. That on
12.1.1994 they left the hostel
and never came again. That after 2 months later they were murdered.
On 26.12.1994 when questioned as to how MK knew that these 3 students
were murdered and whether he saw the photographs and whether he has
any copies, MK evaded the last two questions and replied to the 1st
question that he saw their dead bodies being left MK had to leave Bukkapatnam
tank. When on 12.01.1994 MK had to leave Puttaparthi and was being pursued
by SSB people he did not explain how he was at Bukkapatnam on the particular
day and when 3 bodies were found in the tank whether FIR was filed by
the Police, postmortem done and what was the postmartem report. Naturally
all news papers would have published the death and continued to published
what happened to this case. To my knowledge as I get newspaper clippings
on SSB from my friends there was no mention of this incidence anywhere.
Later in MKs email of 3.1.2005 sent at 8:31 pm the name of Das Gupta
was surprisingly changed to Raman Mehta when he mentioned that “they
are all classmates of Raman Mehta Siddharth Singh and Om Prakash”.
This would clearly prove that this story was invented for us by MK to
save SSB from the allegations.
Disowned by
the family
On 14.11.2004 he informed that none of his family knows that he is engaged
in this activity and unusually SSB has not told them. On 23.12.2004
MK informs that he is a member of the Venkatagiri family and much related
to Mr.Sai Krishna Yachendra. He mentions that they have disowned him
because of his activities were known to them in the summer of 2003.
Both these statements contradict it each other. Again he affirms that
his family has disowned him due to his activities. The fraud by MK could
be found from these statements.
Elimination of Premanand
In the email of 3.1.2005 sent at 8:31 pm MK stated that “did he know
that in March 1998 before one of my students very eyes SSB offered
someone Rs.10,00,000/- to eliminate Mr. Premanand?
When questioned, in the email of 6.1.2005 sent at 2:21 am he explained
that he came to know about Mr.Premanand only a few years back, the person
who told him this, is working in the administrative block. His name
is S.Vijay Sai. Only 5 people apart from himself know about this threat
as they were in the interview room and SSB had taken the 4 people of
the trust and the warden mentioned below inside the other private room
and told them what to do and MK’s friend heard it very clearly. The
people present were Vijay Sai MK’s friend, Mr. C.Srinivas of the central
trust, who lives in Bangalore, Mr.Chakravarthy of the Central Trust,
Mr. Narasimha Murthy, the warden of the hostel in Whitefield and Mr.T.G.Krishnamurthy
- the convenor of the activities in Tamil Nadu apart from MK. He has
not answered why he did not inform the police etc., and also warned
me about this.
We have separated all the emails of Murali Krishna and his friends to
different subjects from page182 to 280 so that one could know how he
has managed to spin stories to look like real while in almost all letters
he affirms that he is frank and everything mentioned is truth and nothing
but truth. With this affirmations one thinks as to why one should affirm
and state that these are true unless they are false.
In the end he gives
a list of evidence MK has been able to collect in his email of 5.2.2005
sent at 4:33AM.
1. 3 photos of SSB
having sex with students
2. Video Conferencing
of 25 boys coupled with the evidence from 15 boys.
3. To what happened
to the evidence he has collected from 100’s of students which MK had
agreed to send to Barry, MK is Silent.
4. 60 pages of various
bank transactions of Sathya Sai Organization wherein money has been
transferred to bogus accounts in India and Overseas.
5.The log books copies
of airways bringing international prostitutes to Puttaparthi
6. Signed affidavits
of 45 boys who were physically molested by SSB and his teachers.
7. Video interview
with 12 people who have been devastated by surgery in SSHMS who have
lost their kidneys and other vital parts and confirmation by 2 students
in SSIHMS namely Bharath Dutt and Deepanjan Chatterjee.
In the email dated
22.1.2005 sent at 10.33 pm an alleged student of MK, Santosh Rajput
stated that the evidence would include.
1. Video confessions
of the blatant kind from boys.
2. Incredible statements
of bank transactions of millions of dollars transferred from the organizations
to accounts in Switzerland, London, France. He told that these have
been procured from Shanker and another source from the bank office of
the Trust in Chennai.
3. At least 3 photos
of SSB having sex
4. Signed affidavits
of people whom SSB had molested in regular basis with dates if possible.
5. A complete list
of all teachers who were involved in all sort of homosexual activities
in the hostel with their addresses and phone numbers.
6. A complete list
of properties of all relatives of SSB.
7. Complete list of
properties of Mr.C.Srinivasan, Chakravarthi, Madras Srinivasan, T.G.Krishnamurthy
etc., to reveal a deep connection with the trusts and their properties.
Santosh Rajput in his email of 31.1.2005 informed the good news that
MK had got what I wanted and much more. He has sent the whole lot to
me. I will get it to Bangalore along with the rest.
MK on 2.2.2005
wrote that in 2002, when he first got the news and details of the gross
manipulation of accounts, he knew that they were entering into unknown
territory. We already had a lot on our hands.
If the whole lot of evidences had been sent to Santosh, MK’s statement
that evidence is at different places exposes him.
On 28.1.2005 at 11:07pm Santosh informed that on 3.2.2005 Ramesh from
Nellore will be going to different places to collect the materials,
if all the evidences had reached him, it is surprising why Ramesh should
be sent to different places to collect the materials. This was a ploy
to get Rs.4000/- as travel expenses for Ramesh.
In his email of 31.1.2005 sent at 3:15 am the alleged Santosh stated
that they needed this assistance to pay some people off and also;for
travel expenses for collecting evidence. This proves that the travel
of Ramesh was a ploy if he had received from MK all the evidences. On
31.1.2005 at 6:09am Santhosh had affirmed that Ramesh can leave on 7.2.2005
and be back on 13th. But these days are not enough even to travel to
the many places Ramesh was to visit, not to think of the many persons
whom he was alleged to meet in those places and collect different information
and get it to us. This was nothing but a fraud played to get Rs.4,000/-.
We had to inform Santosh that money cannot be sent in the name of an
unknown person and we are sending to the address he had given to MK
c/o Ramesh. The alleged spending of Rs.1,000/- for phone calls also
was false.
At any cost the Rs.4,000/- reached MK on 4.1.2005 itself and in his
email of 4.2.2005 sent at 2.12am he lied that he had done exactly what
we said, that he had taken a loan of Rs.10,000/- wherein Rs.4,000/-
was to have been paid today, that he had already sent Ramesh on his
trip to collect the evidence from everybody, that he was presently in
Delhi. If this was true I was wondering how Ramesh would have received
the MO if he was not in station on 7th and is proved an afterthought
after the question as to why he did not take a loan to send Ramesh on
tour as expressed in his email of 28.1.2005 sent at 11.07pm that he
will make other arrangements if I am not in a position to send it.
Mallikarjun’s email of 13.2.2005 sent at 9:57pm stating that “because
there is going to be a lot of delay in collecting evidences some boys
are not willing to give it there has to be some persuasion is also false
as all evidences has been alleged to have been received by Santosh Rajput.
Email of
Mallikarjun dated 14.2.2005 sent at 2.23 am exposes MK and
Santosh Rajput when he informed that there are certain problems as I
have mentioned before regarding collection of evidence etc., so also
MK’s email dated 14.2.2005 sent at 9:05 pm when he informed that even
if he comes to Bangalore tomorrow it will be empty handed alone and
without evidence.
On 15.2.2005 at 7:55 pm Mallikarjun asked whether they can talk on phone
to my number and that also did not happen. The email of 16.2.2005 sent
at 6.55am by MK was another ploy” that the main reason for our postponement
have been our parents(but according to MK his parents were already murdered
by SSB) that it is a great misfortune that parents of Prabal Roy and
Rajeev Kumar have found out about our evidence and have confiscated
them. Of the15 boys 8 of them have kept their parents in the dark about
this whole operation. 4 of their parents have threatened suicide and
two of them are in hospital due to high blood pressure. On 17.2.2005
at 2:15 am Mallikarjun informed that at least parents of 8 people are
here in Hyderabad. But mentioned that the evidence is still within the
group and has not gone out. The question for us was what to believe
and what is true. MK confirmed by email dated 17.2.2005 sent at 7.53
pm the emails of Mallikarjun and said that we are extremely sorry that
we could not make the appointments. If they had already collected the
evidence as informed in their earlier letters and was with Santosh Rajput
he could have brought them to Bangalore on 17th and handed them over
to me.
It was only after I informed him of his double play as to how much money
he made out of Tsunami, writing to the followers of SSB and that I would
warn about this to the Andhra Government, he came with a confession
dated 20.2.2005 sent at 4.23 am that anything stated in the emails are
false that there are no people like any of the names of students mentioned
by him. That all the IDs of the emails sent by him and his friends are
his. By that time we had already identified the origins of the messages
of MK and others and that the emails share the same original servers,
one of them in Nellore itself- although some others that are not Nellore
are nonetheless with the same company located in Delhi.
Now the question is whether MK took advantages of us to help his parents,
or it was a ploy by SSB to come out of all allegations against him before
he is dead so that his credibility remains. But his plan did not succeed
to defame the ex Sai Baba group.
Like what Kamakoti Sankaracharya did to confuse the police after he
was arrested for murders by making some persons to confess in the court
that they murdered Sankararaman and change the course of justice, SSB
tried to get people to make false confessions against him so that the
ex-Sai Baba group puts them in the internet and news papers and later
to prove that these were false and also confuse people that the confessions
published in the newspapers and TV’s were only rumours like this.
Though it is true that SSB sexually abuses youths, hundreds of his devotees
have been murdered in the ashram, lots of financial irregularities have
been found out and much transferred to the accounts of his inner circle
members in India and abroad, that much of the money gifted to SSB org.
have not been accounted for and put in foreign accounts especially the
donation given by Issac Tigress and money in Indian currency given by
Rama Foundation. He has cheated most of his devotees by collecting foreign
exchange for flats and later sent them out without paying back the money
and the foreign money collected in the name of “currency of love”
which included eyes to the blind, limbs to the lame, ambulance, buses
to save school children from long walks, emergency relief for earth
quake victims, supply to refugees and foremost of all, educational,
medical and food grants to millions of poor and needy people totally
free of charges as per the circular regarding currency of love.
Also drinking water
to 2 million people in 750 villages and in the end explained the currency
of love means voluntary contributions.
It is necessary that
government of India investigates the voluntary contributions and also
publish a white paper whether the contributions have really been spent
as mentioned above and how much and to whom as the government have exempted
SSB Organisations from all taxes.
Sai International
Charitable trust (SICI) was established on 6.5.1996 for achieving the
sacred goal of participating in the Divine Charities Scheme called “Sai
Seva Savings” in 2000. The scheme was called “Ceiling of Desires”.
Devotees were asked
to deposit in Barclays Bank PLC Alperton Branch, 220 Ealing Road, Alperton,
Wembly, MIDDX HAO 4QHUSS current a/c No.80361453
a. Upon receipt or
cheque deposited in bank, SICT would issue a bearer “Sai Seva Savings
Certificate which is available in these denominations of US $ 750, US
$ 2,500 and US $ 5,000.
b. Redemption will
be against surrender of the Original certificate duly signed by the
bearer.
c. All administrative
services offered by Sai Volunteers free of cost.
d. The Sacred Savings
received from devotees will be placed by SICT in a collective fixed
deposit Indian Rupee account with a bank in India. The deposit can earn
an estimated 20% p.a. of which 15% will be donated to SSS central Trust,
Prasanthinilayam,
India, for Charities of Medical, Educational and other service activities
every quarter. The balance of 5% p.a would be added to the redemption
amount to be encashed on 23rd November 2000.
SSSC will be redeemed
in Indian Rupees only at the Liasion Office of SICT in India. Devotees
will make their own arrangement, if any, for conversion to foreign currency
for remitting their saving to their Countries. There can be a profit
or loss foreign exchange, which is for the account of the depositor.
Enquiries where to
be made to the SICT Liasion Office, N0:6, Tardeo AC Market, Bombay 400034,
India. That money was necessary to undertake operation and maintenance
of the water project for an indefinite period in order to ensure that
the water system functions efficiently. This will call for additional
financing to meet recurrent expenses.
But as per the Sanathana
Sarathi of July 1996 page 173 in a simple function in Hindupur on June
27, the SSS Central Trust handed over the responsibilty for the maintance
of the water project to the Surpanchs of 260 villages.
No receipts are given
for the cheques sent for these activities. So it is necessary to check
the accounts of the Trusts run by SSB whether they are accounted for
and spent for the charities truthfully.
Lots of US $ have
been collected for the housing scheme promising them that the houses
can be used by the donors for three months and after receiving the donations
the time of use was reduced to fifteen days and for occupying even for
fifteen days the donors had to pay a heavy amount for maintenance. From
this it can be found that each flat will be owned by 24 devotees and
they would have donated US $ 6,000 each. Later by flimsy the donors
are not allowed to occupy the flats even for fifteen days and pushed
out without refunding the amount paid for the flats. All these activities
of SSB collecting US $ for deposit and changing the deposit value to
Indian Rupees is also against natural justice as the depositors are
unable to redeem the amount on 23.11.2000 or thereafter as they are
not allowed to transfer the money to their accounts in foreign currency.
In 1980’s we had
sent a complaint to Mr. Rajiv Gandhi against SSB. He had forwarded it
to CBI. While someone from CBI met us, we found he was connected with
SSB and so we refused to give him any information.
We are sending this
to Mrs. Sonia Gandhi along with our books, Murders in Sai Baba’s Bed
Room and Robert Priddy’s “End of the Dream”. Also to the Hon. President
of India, Hon. Chief Justice of India, Hon. Prime Minister of India, asking
them to start enquiry on the sexual abuse of students, the hundreds
of murders in SSB’s Ashrams, financial irregularities and misappropriation
going against Foreign Regulations fraud against his devotees and misuse
of funds collected for charities. We sincerely hope to get their acknowledgements
and confirmation that legal investigations would be started against
the Trusts founded by SSB in India and other countries.
Here is a selection of pages from
‘Sabotage by Murali Krishna’ which summarise some of the different
deceptive themes with excerpts from his e-mails
More excerpts from Gerald Moreno’s
defamatory websites
Here one can see the extent to which
Moreno goes to avoid finding out the facts, yet he is so biased that he even defend
the totally indefensible sabotage and lies!
GM (Gerald Moreno): This article is
substantially unsubstantiated and fails to provide any sort of documentation
or email addresses to back it up. Premanand thinks that people are trying
to infiltrate Exbaba.Org. Basava Premanand does not even provide a link
to the alleged posts made in the Sai Baba News, Yahoo Group, from the
alleged Mr.V.Murali Krishna Yachendra (I could not find any posts from
a person using that name). Funny enough, this article proves that people
will lie and make false allegations against Sathya Sai Baba. Premanand
thinks this man is a SSB devotee, however it is entirely possible this
man is a fraud who is now claiming to be a devotee in an effort to get
money for his ravaged home (due to the tsunami), using SSB’s name.
Before the tsunami, he was making sexual abuse allegations against SSB.
Clearly this person was seeking some sort of name and fame. This does
not mean he was trying to “infiltrate” the ExBaba.com. cult. That
is Premanand’s conspiracy paranoia working over time again.
My Response: The above quote was updated
on August 8th 2005. I noticed the update on Anti-Sai Sites and updated
my site as well. Also, M.K. Yachendra (and others) emailed me about
this article, and I edited it. Obviously, Premanand is not up-to-date
with the articles he cites, nor did he bother to check it in the last
month. The quote now reads, “This article is totally unsubstantiated
and fails to provide any sort of documentation, emails, letters or anything
else to back it up. Premanand thinks that people are trying to “infiltrate”
ExBaba Org. Basava Premanand does not even provide a link to the alleged
posts made in the SaiBabaNews Yahoo Group from Mr. V. Murali Krishna
Yachendra. Clearly, Premanand’s conspiracy paranoia working overtime
again. Also, despite Premanand writing a letter to the police and other
high ranking officials, apparently, nothing has been done against Mr.
Yachendra.”
My Response: I never claimed that
Premanand wrote for “tabloids”. Where did he get this information
from? As I stated earlier, this article was updated on August 8th 2005
after I personally corresponded with Mr. M.K. Yachendra. I plan on writing
a full article when Mr. Yachendra is able to respond (his parents are
elderly and his mother is very ill).
GM is completely wrong - as usual
- in stating that this article is “substantially unsubstantiated”
( something unsubstantiated cannot be substantially so, even though
GM typically thinks so). I provide full documentation and email addresses,
IPs and other data to back up my assertions. They are published for
all to see in a 312-page book ‘Sabotage by Murali Krishna Yachendra
(Skeptic Book Club No 23.) The records published in this book prove
that he was a very near devotee of SSB and was even called for the Sathya
Sai Alumni meeting on the 15th and 16th of April 2005.Murali Krishna
is an ardent SSB devotee, otherwise his stories about SSB miracles would
not have been published in Pro-SSB web sites. These sites are strictly
censored by their webmasters to keep out critics. The content of MK’s
postings there are more than sufficient to establish he is a long-term
devotee, having also been a student and teacher at Prashanthi Nilayam.
The very purpose of his contacting exposé activists, however, had been
to trap them into posting false claims.
My Response: I have personally corresponded
with Yachendra and found his replies (to very difficult questions) honest,
consistent and forthcoming. It turns out that he is a devotee of Sathya
Sai Baba and I was also able to find the posts he made in the SaiBabaNews
group. All I am willing to say, at this time, is that according to Yachendra,
Premanand is giving a highly misleading account into what actually transpired.
Based on the numerous, unsubstantiated and sladerous statements that
Premanand made against me, I personally feel that I cannot trust Premanand’s
version of events.
GM has closed his eyes to pages two
and three wherein I have published the copy of my letter to five different
government authorities with copies of the documents. So also the copy
of my letter to four government authorities with 10 exhibits. The whole
bunch of email letters and the internet articles published by Murali
Krishna have also been documented in a book coming to 312 pages and
priced Rs.100/- in India and US$10/- overseas. If he needs it, he can
make a?
Here one see Moreno at his typical
playground tactics of ‘tit-for-tat’
As I stated before, Yachendra is wanting
to clear his name, but his duty to his elderly parents prevents him
from writing an immediate response. If Yachendra is telling the truth,
Premanand is distorting the facts completely. Considering how Premanand
distorts the facts about me, I am more inclined to believe Yachendra.
Who is paranoid - Gčrald Morčno
or me - can be known only after we have a session with a psychiatrist.
I hope GM would have had one. I am only answering his paranoid articles
because they are defamatory, while he is spending all his time to publish
lies.
My Response: Since I stated Premanand
was “paranoid”, Premanand suggests I have a session with a psychiatrist.
Since Premanand just called me “paranoid”, I suggest he have a session
with a psychiatrist. As one can see, from my previous four responses,
my comments are not “lies”. As a matter of fact, if anyone has been
shown to be lying and distorting facts, it is Premanand.
Note: I obtained Gerald Moreno’s
vilifying article “Basava Premanand: Deception” from Murali Krishna
Yachendra at Nellore where I had gone to meet the Superintendent of
Police, Nellore and District Collector of Nellore District to find how
far my complaints have been investigated. I already gave a copy of GM’s
article to them and have replied to his vilifying article.

I refer to my complaint
of 23.3.2005,1.4.2005 and 12.7.2005, against one V. Murali Krishna Yachendra
and Gerald Moreno.
I am enclosing herewith
another vilifying article by Gerald Moreno titled Basava Premanand:
Anonymous Letter : Basava Premanand’s questionable involvement published
in 2001 and updated on May 5th 2005 and my reply which would prove the
way in which Pro-SSB followers vilify us with lies on the Internet.
I am enclosing herewith
the following documents.
1. My reply to the
above article
2. The article by
Gerald Moreno on the anonymous letter.
3. Copies of Pages
18 to 29 of Indian Skeptic of August 1999.
I would be thankful
to you if you would add this to my first complaint dated 23.3.2005 and
take necessary legal steps against V. Murali Krishna Yachendra and Gerald
Moreno under cyber crimes as my complaint is pending for more than 4
months.
I am enclosing herewith
a copy of a complaint to VSNL. Net (pages 10) on 25.7.2005 sent at 7:30
am and 3:42 pm wherein one Mohan Kumar hg<mohan88hg@yahoo.com>
has sent a hate mail dated 23.7.2005 at 03:30:39 - 0700(PDT) as follows:
you are the biggest
bastard that the mother earth has seen
You will die like
one dog bitten by insects etc.,
As the person’s
email address is from Coimbatore and earlier when my 2nd son was mysteriously
murdered in the early hours of 6.12.2003, I have received a surprising
email that all of us would be murdered, I would be thankful if you immediately
find the Postal address of Mohankumar etc from the
ip.admin@vsnl.co.in;
ip.tech@vsnl.co.in and interrogate him about his threat. If you delay
the investigation and donot take legal action immediately the Home Department
of Andhra Pradesh will be held responsible if any thing happens to the
life of my family and Ex-Baba members.
With regards
Yours sincerely
(B. Premanand)

Sathya Sai College’s Murali Krishna
Yachendra’s first e-mails in his campaign of lies to sabotage the
International Sai Petition and critics of Sathya Sai Baba.
Note: The main chosen recipient of
the mails from Murali Krishna was Barry Pittard, and secondarily also
Basava Premanand. The e-mail address used specifically for the purpose
of secure contact with Murali Krishna is no longer extant, so it has
therefore been deleted from the mail headings below. Both Pittard and
Premanand very soon realised this was indeed a major and
widely-organised scam intending to sabotage the work of critics of Sai
Baba by getting them to accept unsound opinions and present Murali
Krishna’s lies as genuine testimony facts. Murali Krishna kept the scam
going until he had sent over 100 e-mails! Finally he was so compromised
and so thoroughly exposed that he gave up and changed tack - declaring
on pro-Sai websites how he is a Sai devotee and had been so all along!
