This is a great documentary that may help increase your perspective on religious leaders and the devotion of their followers. Questions often asked by Mormons are “What if you’re wrong?” and “What about all the witnesses testimonies that they never denied?” After watching this ask yourself how worried you are that you might be wrong about Sathya Sai Baba. Isn’t it easy to see that the testimonies about Sathya Sai Baba aren’t credible despite the sincerity of the believer? There are well educated people that believe him. There are people that have abandoned their devotion for Sai Baba and still profess belief in his mystical abilities. Sathya Sai Baba has millions of followers that believe he’s divine. With perspective it’s quite easy to see he’s a fraud and does cheap parlor tricks to produce “holy ash” and trinkets.
There is one warning about this video though. At about 40 minutes into the program the rationalists challenge a faith healer to heal a snake bite in front of the entire village. They take a dog and have a cobra bite it and the faith healer proceeds to try and heal the dog. The dog slowly dies and the faith healer is forced to admit in front of the entire village that he is unable to heal snake bites.

There is also a great 6 minute video on YouTube called Sathya Sai Baba Debunked. It shows him doing parlor tricks, like palming pieces of chalk that he uses to create ash, or pulling trinkets out of handkerchiefs. t |

This was an excellent film. I really liked when they were training the young kids to be Rationalists...it’s so refreshing compared to Mormon primary! |
