The "Photographic Evidence" Lie

Since 2002, several Anti-Sai Activists (specifically Sanjay Dadlani, Tony O'Clery and Robert Priddy) have erroneously and falsely claimed that there is "photographic evidence" of Sathya Sai Baba engaging in sexual acts. The "photographic evidence" claim surfaced only after a guru-wannabee (carefully tending his hair to make himself look like Satya Sai Baba) named "Sekharji" made the claim:

The Sai Guru Wannabee: "Sekharji"

According to Robert Priddy, Sekharji (real name "Chandrasekhar Balasubramanian") posted the following information and sent it to an exposé website:

From Sekharji 06-28-2002 08:43 PM ET (US):

Today, there are so many Extortionists, that SSB is letting most of them go on telling stories without the reward for silence. It seems that the money supply is now getting low. So now, there are a whole lot of exDevotees attacking each Other to achieve the status as being the last One standing for SSB to deal with. There are even Imposters planted to help confuse and frighten the whistleblowers. I enforce My claim for the previous statements to You in the following way. There is a Swamiji named 'Kaleshwara' somewhere near Banglore. He was a young Boy when SSB molested Him. He, however, brought a camera and took pictures of the activites without SSB knowing. Later, He extorted SSB and got $1 million dollars to start His own ashram. Go to Him in Banglore, and privately ask. He is quite open and honest about the whole matter. He may still even show You the pictures as He did to many Others.

Sekharji

There are several profound problems with Sekharji's claims. First of all, Kaleshwar has never lived "somewhere near Bangalore". Secondly, Kaleshwar's ashram is not in Bangalore, Karnataka. It is in Penukonda, Andhra Pradesh (250kms away and in another state). Therefore, Sekharji's information about Kaleshwar is totally incorrect. Thirdly, Sekharji never said that he saw the alleged pictures himself, first-hand. Sekharji is simply repeating a story he heard. Why would Kaleshwar publicly admit that he extorted money (an illegal and criminal offence) from Baba through blackmail? How can anyone believe anything Sekharji (a Sai competitor) has to say when he clearly disseminated total disinformation about Kaleshwar?

About Sekharji's claims, Robert Priddy said:

I have ascertained that both prints and a negative of this former student engaged in oral sex with Sathya Sai Baba are extant and will eventually be made public in the appropriate legal setting.

Notice how Priddy referred to Kaleshwar as a "former student" and that the pictures contained acts of oral abuse. Bold-faced lies! Swami Kaleshwar was never a student at Baba's Colleges and the information about the alleged pictures are based on rumors and gossip.

Sanjay Dadlani claimed:

I've noticed that you pro-SB people are in complete denial of the fact that we have photographic evidence of SB molesting a child. Oh well, so be it. :-) (Reference)

We even have photographic proof of his sexual molestation, which is red-hot proof that he is a sex abuser. (Reference)

There is photographic proof of Sai baba performing oral sex on an ex-student. I don't know if it is Sai Baba who is the giver or the receiver, but oral sex is definitely involved in this photogrpahic evidence. When it finally becomes available, I wonder how the braindead devotees will react to it? (Reference)

Tony O'Clery claimed:

There is some kind of a photo... (Reference)

Namaste, The photo exists. It was taken long before the easy internet photo editing, so I don't know the forensics of it. I have talked to Premanand about this, and indicated to him that it wouldn't be available for his law suit due to the ever present danger to the owner. This is what I understand........Tony (Reference)

HOWEVER I KNOW FOR SURE THAT A CERTAIN PERSON HAS PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF SB MOLESTING!! He is at present too scared to release it for it would mean an certain death sentence and he lives in India, the prashanti goons would get him for sure, as they have so many others. (Reference)

Namaste, You know cameras can be coin size now with wide lenses. I don't know the exact format used but the photos or whatever do exist, believe me and have done for a couple of years. They will come out eventually, now it is too dangerous for the boy he and his parents would be murdered by sb's goons from the prashanti mafia, or the pn police......Tony. (Reference)

Namaste, I have it on good authority that there is a photo of sb molesting a boy. However the parents are still devotees and the boy is frightened for his life if his name is revealed. His name has been passed on to a safe place in case he is murdered by sb or his gang of goons...Tony. (QuickTopic Forum, post 1728)

Notice how Anti-Sai Activists cannot even keep their stories straight about who was abused? The alleged "victim" is changed from Swami Kaleshwar to a "former student". The "former student" is changed to a "child". The "child" is changed to a "boy" who has parents who are still devotees! Notice how Kaleshwar's name is completely filtered out of the story and the alleged victim is turned into an anonymous person whose story must be guarded out of safety concerns and confidentiality?

Sanjay (telling his pathological lies, as usual) first claimed that Anti-Sai Activists are allegedly in actual possession of the pictures. Then Sanjay claimed that even though Anti-Sai Activists are allegedly in actual possession of the pictures, he does not know who is the "giver or the reciever" (meaning no one has seen them)! Sanjay has been making these unsubstantiated claims since 2004 and absolutely nothing has come from them whatsoever. I wonder why?

Tony O'clery claimed that he and his family are all psychic, that he enters demon trances and that he sees dead people and hears them speak to him. Tony also attempted to give me a psychic reading about a dog I never owned! This is the type of Anti-Sai weirdo who is attempting to convince others of the veracity of his claims. Tony also publicly spread a bold-faced lie about a known pedophile being associated with the Sai Org and thought it was funny when I exposed his lie (Reference).

Tony O'Clery has not (admittedly) seen the alleged "photographic evidence" for himself. Tony is simply perpetuating unverifiable rumors and gossip. Tony has no information whatsoever about the alleged picture(s) and said that there is "some kind of photo" (how's that for clarity?). Tony Bologna O'Clery also alleged that the picture was "taken long before the easy internet photo editing". This simply is untrue. Photo fraud has a long history that can easily be traced back prior to Baba's birth. For example, the famous Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the Cottingley Fairies case of photographic fraud going back to the early 1920's.

To see how easy it is to "merge" and/or "falsify" images with photo-editing programs, see Premaperm's "merged" images of Sanjay Kishore Dadlani.

Not even one Anti-Sai Activist has been able to independently confirm that he/she saw the alleged pictures in question first-hand. If the alleged "photographic evidence" existed, why hasn't any reputable media organization independently confirmed that the pictures exist? A respectable and reputable media organization could release the images while blacking out the face of any alleged victim. This type of evidence could quickly bring down Sathya Sai Baba and help the Anti-Sai movement immensely. Why haven't Anti-Sai Activists even tried to provide security and financial assistance for Swami Kaleshwar in the past five years? These alleged pictures could also be released to the media anonymously. Apparently, all Anti-Sai Activists are willing to do is spread rumors like gossip queens and feed this conspiracy theory with their paranoia, frenzied Anti-Sai rumor-mongering and unsubstantiated conspiracy theories.

Just recently, Paula Gloria (the same person who released the videos of Ullrich Zimmermann) released some videos of Swami Kaleshwar in which it was clearly shown that he had a full-sized picture of Sathya Sai Baba in his temple (Refs: 01 - 02 - 03).

Swami Kaleshwar With A Garlanded Photo Of Sathya Sai Baba In His Mandir, Next To A Photo Of Shirdi Sai Baba And Himself

Why would Kaleshwar be promoting the view that Sathya Sai Baba is a divine personality by keeping Baba's picture in his mandir if he was truly sexually abused by him?

Once again, another Anti-Sai rumor bites the dust and Anti-Sai Activists are left with egg dripping from their faces.
