Fighting The Smears – Robert Priddy’s Homoerotic Imaginations

Dear Friends And Fellow Readers,

This article is very important for several reasons. First, it documents the vicious behaviors of Ex-Devotees of Sathya Sai Baba (who often claim they are “credible”, “honest,” and “sincere” individuals). Secondly, this article is important because it documents the unbelievable extents that Ex-Devotees of Sathya Sai Baba will go in order to malign, defame and libel others. Lastly, this article is important because it reveals the dubious standards that Ex-Devotees use to determine what they consider “sexual abuse” and/or “sexual molestation”.

Since former followers of Sathya Sai Baba unremittingly and falsely accuse Gerald ‘Joe’ Moreno of being “molested sexually” by Sathya Sai Baba, Moreno’s story is unique and provides a revealing and telltale glimpse into the mindset, fanaticism and extremism that altogether exemplifies the Anti-Sathya-Sai-Baba Movement.

Robert Priddy (a caustic critic and defamer of Sathya Sai Baba who once hailed the Guru as God Incarnate and who once fervently Worshipped And Kissed The Guru’s Feet) wrote more blatant disinformation on his Anti-Baba blog about Gerald Joe Moreno (a Pro-Sai Activist).

The case is easily made that Robert Priddy is a bitter, vindictive and sexually-debauched defamer and propagator of disinformation against Gerald Joe Moreno (henceforth referred to as “Moreno”). Ex-Devotee’s willful, malicious and obsessive claims about Moreno being “molested sexually” by Sathya Sai Baba has undeniably cast a dark shadow of suspicion and doubt on their self-professed and alleged “credibility”, “honesty” and “sincerity”…

When Critics Attack, Slur, Malign, Defame And Ridicule

When Critics Attack, Slur, Malign, Defame And Ridicule

Ex-Devotees of Sathya Sai Baba love to the play the victims and often whine and snivel about how they are being “attacked”. Purposely suppressed by Ex-Devotees, however, is the fact that they wage vicious smear campaigns against anyone who does not submit to their conspiratorial, fanatic and hate-based agendas.

Since Ex-Devotees continually attempt to deceive the general public with disinformation, this article will focus on the numerous people who are/were attacked, named, misrepresented, maligned, defamed, ridiculed and/or threatened by ex-devotees, critics and skeptics of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.

Ex-Devotees Relenteless Attacks Against Sai Devotees And Non-Devotees
Please note that some of the individuals in the following name list are not Sathya Sai Baba devotees but were attacked, maligned, misrepresented or ridiculed in relation to the Sai Controversy. Some of the people in the name list were publicly “outed” as Sai Devotees on Anti-Sai websites in an attempt to embarrass, name and/or associate them with Sathya Sai Baba and/or the Sai Controversy. Many gurus have been criticized in association with Sathya Sai Baba although some Ex-Devotees (like Robert Priddy) reference gurus as credible sources if they say something negative against Sathya Sai Baba.

Critic’s fanatic conspiracy theories also accuse the entire Indian Government (including numerous governmental and police subdivisions) of “covering up” for Sathya Sai Baba although no basic police complaints or court cases have ever been filed against the Guru in India by any alleged victim and/or his/her parents!

Left out of the name list above are 155 (One Hundred Fifty Five) Sai Students whose names were lifted off of alumni.net and maliciously published on the Ex-Baba domain as being abused by Sathya Sai Baba. Needless to say, many of the Sai Students personally contacted Moreno denying the abuse allegations and requested that their names be removed from the bogus list (hence a screencap with the names instead of actual text). Click thumbnail to enlarge:

Bogus List Of 155 Names Of Sai Students

Barry Pittard attacked, trashed and bashed all of India as being universally “corrupt”. Despite claiming that everyone in India suffers from corruption to some extent or other, Barry Pittard often cites and endorses Indian Rationalists (who must surely be tainted by the same “corruption” that Pittard claims taints everyone else in India).

Barry Pittard and Robert Priddy attacked hundreds of millions of Hindus (including other religions that believe in miracles) as being “backward intellectually” “ignorant peasants” who believe in scriptures that are “sheer delusion” and “impossible concocted stories of the ‘Superman’ kind” (Ref). Despite publicly presenting themselves as scientific and rationalistic, Barry Pittard, Robert Priddy & Co. adamantly refuse to say a single word about Psychic Trance Medium & Self-Proclaimed Prophet Conny Larsson (whom they continually cite, uphold, praise and endorse as a credible voice against Sathya Sai Baba).

On the ExBaba guestbook, Nish Paramjorthy made a critical comment using his real name and email address. Robert Priddy and Reinier Van Der Sandt traced Nish’s email address to his place of employment and maliciously sent them complaints in an attempt to embarrass him and get him fired. Numerous other people have emailed Moreno in confidence telling the same story about Ex-Devotee’s feral attacks.

Despite Ex-Devotee’s foaming-at-the-mouth attacks against others as belonging to the “lunatic fringe” seen in cults, ashrams and religious movements, they adamantly refuse to say one word about the pervasive lunatic fringe in the Anti-Sai movement, which includes:

Ex-Devotee’s unremitting and malicious “attacks” against others are fully documented facts and they are notorious for peddling their disinformation as the “irrefutable truth” to unsuspecting readers. Ex-Devotee’s push forward with their agendas of deceit, defamation and propagandizing because they think no one will find out. Well, they are dead wrong.

Erik Yaman Konuralp : Robert Priddy & Kai Nicolai Priddy

sathyasaibaba — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 06:08:53 +0000

Spiritual Healer Erik Yaman Konuralp Endorsed By Sai Baba Critic Robert Priddy

Robert Priddy (a caustic critic of Sathya Sai Baba) ceaselessly attempts to portray himself as a “scholar”, skeptic, scientist, and voice of reason on his Anti-Sai wordpress blog and Anti-Sai websites. As a matter of fact, Robert Priddy can often be seen siding and associating himself with Indian rationalists, skeptics and atheists and continually derides and mocks psychics, healers, mediums and channelers as “absurd charlatans” belonging to the “lunatic fringe“ seen in cults, ashrams and religious movements.

Erik Yaman Konuralp : Robert Priddy & Kai Nicolai Priddy
It should come as no surprise that Robert Priddy is openly an admirer and promoter of Yaman Konuralp (Pic), an alleged psychic healer, Reiki Master in the Usui, Medicine Buddha Reiki practitioner (which involves remote / distance healing),
SKHM-Seichim Reiki practitioner, New Age sound therapist, aura cleanser, chakra aligner, hypnotherapist, meditation practitioner, yoga practitioner, Chi Kung practitioner and a teacher of “internal energy” cultivation exercises (Refs: 01 – 02).

On Yaman Konuralp’s website, it says:

“PRIDDY Robert Crichton, a former musician now living in Oslo, is an admirer of Yaman Konuralp’s feel, originality and amazing percussive technique.”

Kai Nicolai Priddy (Robert Priddy’s son), helped Yaman Konuralp with his CD entitled Inner Percussion – A Natural Sound System:

Inner Percussion + keyb/guitar Kai N. Priddy
Into it – Inner Percussion + Kai N. Priddy synth
Keep On – Inner Percussion + keyb/guitar Kai N. Priddy

Kai Priddy was the guitar player for “Vampire State Building”, an industrial band from Norway. The band was known for their wildly eccentric live performances that included theatrics involving transvestites, dildos, knives, rubber fetish outfits and strange and comical costumes (Reference).

Although Robert Priddy attempts to con the general public into thinking he is entirely given to scientific reasoning, he is actually a true believer and promoter of various self-professed psychics, trance mediums, reiki healers and people holding “superstitious” beliefs (including his own son, Kai Nicolai Priddy, who is heavily into astrology and is the webmaster for AbacusAstrology.co.uk).

Robert Priddy is not only an admirer and promoter of Yaman Konuralp, he is also a staunch promoter and endorser of:

Amusingly, Robert Priddy once wrote an article professing belief in elementals, elves, fairies, leprechauns, gnomes, trolls, water spirits, animal and plant spirits or ‘devas’ , angels, invisible helpers, shaman ‘spirits’, ‘allies’, UFOs, extra-terrestrials, possessive demons, Satan, Pan-figures and other demi-gods (Ref).

Robert Priddy was also a promoter of LSD and eulogized his own LSD-induced hallucinations for well over 30+ years! See:

So when Robert Priddy attempts to present himself as a “rational”, “scholarly” and “scientific” voice of reason against Sathya Sai Baba, one can’t help but to laugh out loud at his blatant hypocrisy, equivocation and deception.

Author Kevin Shepherd Endorses Psychic Trance Medium

sathyasaibaba — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 16:16:14 +0000

Author Kevin Shepherd Endorses Psychic Trance Medium

Kevin R.D. Shepherd is a vanity self-publisher and author whose writings mostly revolve around (or include numerous references to) the Findhorn Foundation, Stanislav Grof and Holotropic Breathing. Kevin Shepherd typically references Kate Thomas (aka “Jean Shepherd”, his mother) and Stephen J. Castro in his writings. Kevin Shepherd is a staunch Anti-Guru, Anti-Cult and Anti-New Age advocate who has cited Conny Larsson on his personal domains as a person of credibility against Sathya Sai Baba. See: kevinrdshepherd.net/html/23___sathya_sai_baba__problems.html.

Kevin Shepherd publicly endorsed, promoted and solicited the integrity and credibility of Conny Larsson, a man who happens to be a cult-like leader and guru who claims he is a psychic trance medium for the spirit of Vyasa and boasts having over 10,000 followers.

Maharshi Vyasa (who is believed to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu) is considered an immortal sage who wrote the sacred texts to the Vedas, the Brahma Sutras, the Mahabharata, the Eighteen Puranas, the Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam. For Conny Larsson to claim that he is channeling the spirit of Vyasa, he is presenting himself as a self-proclaimed prophet, guru and cult-leader whose words carry the authority of God and are to be considered on par with divinely inspired scriptures that are revered by hundreds of millions of Hindus around the globe!

However, Conny Larsson not only claims he is trance medium for the spirit of Vyasa, he also claims to be a spirit channeler, a pet psychic, a meditation guru, a yoga guru, a Vedic mantra guru, a devotee of Shankaracharya Swami Brahmananda Saraswati and a psychic therapist who can diagnose disease and illness by using a crystal pendulum (Ref)! Conny Larsson also runs the Vedic Master Website and publicly solicits himself with other psychics, mediums, spirit channelers and New Age practitioners (Ref).

It is nothing less than shameful and hypocritical that Kevin Shepherd (a staunch anti-cult and anti-guru advocate) endorses and defends Conny Larsson and vouches for his integrity and credibility although he is a self-professed prophet, an alleged “internationally renowned” psychic trance medium and a New Age guru using crystal pendulums and reading auras.

Did Anti-Sai Activists con Kevin Shepherd by purposely suppressing the fact that Conny Larsson is a psychic medium, trance channel for the spirit of Vyasa, Vedic mantra guru and meditation master? It would appear so. Conny Larsson conned the Anti-Cult expert Rigmor Robert into writing the preface to his Anti-Baba book, conned the Anti-Cult organization FECRIS into publicizing him and conned the Indian rationalist, skeptic and atheist Basava Premanand into publishing his Anti-Baba book in English. Basava Premanand happens to believe that psychics like Conny Larsson are frauds, liars and cheats and is willing to pay anyone who can demonstrate alleged psychic abilities 100,000 Rs (Ref). Why are all these Anti-Cult, Anti-Guru and Anti-Sect people and organizations endorsing, publishing and promoting Conny Larsson? Did self-professed “multi-millionaire” Conny Larsson pay for these endorsements?

Kevin R.D. Shepherd not only endorsed and cited Psychic Conny Larsson, he also endorsed and cited Guru Promoter & New Age Advocate Timothy Conway, New Age Practitioner & Reincarnator Alan Kazlev and New Age Ramtha Adherent Ullrich Zimmermann. What does this say about Kevin Shepherd? Kevin Shepherd is obviously a very gullible and naive person who is willing to give credence to New Age beliefs by claiming that New Age followers are intelligent, honest, credible and reliable individuals who are worthy of being referenced by him (an alleged “scholarly” and “academic” author not given to superstition or superstitious beliefs). Needless to say, these verifiable facts leave Kevin Shepherd looking rather pathetic and foolish and reeking of hypocrisy.
