Sugrim Singh
Not for the first time, false teacher and proven false prophet Sugrim Singh aka Sai Baba aka dharamraj singh akak government of canada worker aka ottawa resident aka the man with ten thousand names and his merry band of religious lunatics and “Sai Nilayam” devotees are discrediting hinduism and discrediting another fake prphet sai baba with absurd doctrines and false information. This mans teaching hold no
resemblance to any model of hinduism or christianity or even sai baba's teachings. This man plays on the cognitive disonance of his followers.
The odd phenomena which academics identify by the term “cognitive dissonance” was first researched by the sociologist Leon Festinger who was interested in the social psychology of religion. Festinger catalogued and analyzed how such religious kooks, driven by a vanity characterized by a hollow sense of spiritual elitism, would simply call themselves god and milk people out of their hard earned savings
As an optimist, I believe people are curious by nature and don't want to be willfully ignorant (at least, this is true for the young ones who haven't been brainwashed). This is cause for hope. This is also cause for one of the fundamental problems confronting these true beleivers of fake gurus and con men and all other faith-based whipper-snappers.
While we no cognitively that there is no one Hindu creation story we do know that hinduism believes in a a trinity combined into one god.
However, the hindu mind has not entertained the concept of a married man saying he is god based on a spirit visiting him at only convenient times.
What would happen if the mortal coil of Mr. Singh stops receiving the supposed spritual embodiement of Sai BAba? Would he give everything back that he has received or still profit from it? What if the connection is broken, because he drinks alcohol?
at all times we must question who was this man's guru that would give him his Sanyas.
He has not given up the materiality of this world, he has acucmulaed more. He has not attempted to seek out god, but actively lives in society.
So the orange robes and he says he is god? Why would god wear the robes of a sanyasi - he is already attained.
Learning from skeptical science:If any of these words are untrue that Sugrim Singh
(aka, ram singh, aka, dharamraj singh, aka, sugriv singh, aka sugreev singh) dresses in an orange robe, says that satya sai baba comes through him, that he is the bridge between prema sai, that his family is in charge of the charity, that he drive very expensive cars or has a mansion but works as a government of canada worker, that he speaks with an accent, a limp sometimes is used and that he travels the world
preaching and that his charitable organization (he is the spiritual head, as his wife is the president)takes in donations (over 1million by last count) and any number of other things please let us know.
Just in case you would like to sue Sai Nilayam. There is something called discovery in Canada. WE will need all of your tapes, transcripts, emails, photos, members and the like.
