Namaste.  Thank you so much for your very kind letter.  Needless to say, the massive response that I've had from most current Sai followers in the last two days has been anything but kind.  When I began reading the accounts of abuse that have surfaced in the last few months, I had an overwhelming sense of deja vu.  I was with the Hare Krishna movement until 1984 and experienced many of the same instances of abuse, lies and corruption that is currently being recounted by former disciples of Sai Baba.  Personally, I managed to retain my commitment to the philosophical and cultural background of what was a very corrupt organization, and move on to continue on the spiritual path in a Hindu context...but with my eyes now wide open!  I felt it was important to tell Sai followers that they're not alone and they don't have to give up on God because a human claiming to be God was a fake.  Please feel free to put my letter up on your great web site and to forward it to whoever you think would benefit from reading it.  Continued success with your important work.  Take care.
