  by Fisherman in

  the bible records miracles such as resurrections, angels, prophecy and destructive acts of god to mention a few.

  are these all a pack of lies?

  how do you explain them?

  A group of six devotees had come to have darshan of Baba from Australia . Baba called them for a private interview.

  During the normal course of the talk, Baba looked at one of the devotees and asked -- “Why did you come now. Your mother is not well. She needs you there back in Australia” .

  He replied saying-- “Yes Baba, I called home yesterday night and this news was conveyed to me. I pray for her early recovery.”

  Baba replied --

  “Go home soon. She is asking for you. In fact go home now.”

  So saying, Baba created a map of the world with the wave of the hand. He spread it on the wall and the following conversation took place : --

  BABA : “Where is Australia in this map ?”

  Devotee : “Here, Baba .” (Pointing to the map).

  Baba touched it and the world map changed into an Australian map.

  BABA : “Where in Australia do you say ?”

  Devotee : “New South Wales, Baba .” (pointing to the map).

  Baba touched it and the Australian map changed into the map of New South Wales.

  BABA : “Where in New South Wales do you say ?”

  When the devotee mentioned the place, Baba touched it and the chart changed to show all the apartments in the area.

  Then Baba touched the house in which the man was staying and lo! the wall of the interview room became the door of the devotee’s home. Baba opened the door and showed the man his mother sleeping on the sofa. Baba called the man and asked him to go in and closed the door. He rubbed his hands on the door and the door became the wall of the interview room again!

  Later when the Australians came out of the interview room, only five came out instead of the six who went in. The students of Prashanthi Nilayam campus saw this. Later they called back the man who was sent to Australia only an hour later, who confirmed his ‘safe arrival’.

  Here are just two examples.

  • Dr. John Hislop, a former professor and corporate executive, now retired and living in Mexico,

  • Judge Damadar Rao of Madras
    

  Mr. V. RadhaKrishna, factory owner and a well known citizen in Kuppam India

  Yes of course he did. At least lots of people say he did.

  And you don't have to rely on an old book that is a copy of a copy of a copy written a generation after the events,, you can interview them.

  Why won't you believe them, they have no reason to lie.

  Are the thousands of witnesses to Sai Baba's miracles mistaken?

  That is falsifiable or verifiable.

  Thousands of eyewitnesses have recorded their testimony. Most of them are still alive and can be questioned.

  Why are they less convincing than biblical accounts of miracles?

  Mother Teresa may have performed more miracles seems to me

  Mother Teresa was an odious hag who made a cult out of suffering.

  Let me know when he has the power to resurrect the dead from the cemetery or give sight to the blind or hearing to deaf minus glasses or a hearing aid.

  Yes there are many witnesses to Shirdi Sai Baba doing all of those things

  But that guy is another subject.

  No it's exactly the same subject.

  The frequency of miracles is inversely proportionate to the spread of smart phones.

  By definition a miracle is the least likely explanation for an unexplained event.

  There are tens of thousands of witnesses to the miracles of Shirdi Sai Baba, I wonder whether you find their testimony to be convincing and if not why not?

  Masks block droplets not aerosol - covid is an aerosol virus. Coughing and sneezing is only a problem if you are very close to somebody with the virus. The problem with covid is breathing the same air indoors. Normal surgical masks do almost nothing to block covid. Cloth masks do absolutely nothing.

  1. First the experts told us not to wear masks because they are totally ineffective against covid
  2. Then they weaponised fear, locked everybody indoors and shut down the economy
  3. Then they opened the economy and invited everybody to go back to work and leisure
  4. But everybody was scared shitless
  5. Then they said don't worry - you can wear a mask
  6. Then they said wear a mask or else!

  Masks have a trivial effect - if any at all - against an aerosol virus.
