Basava Premanand has been burgled… again.It is the third time in just one month. But he is in no doubt of the thieves’ motives.He suspects they were looking for evidence that he has collected for over 30 years against India’s leading spiritual guru, Sri Satya Sai Baba.Mr Premanand believes this evidence proves the self-proclaimed “God-man”, Sai Baba, is not just a fraud, but a dangerous sexual abuser.”Sai Baba is nothing but a mafia man, conning the people and making himself rich”, he says of his bete noire.As India’s leading guru-buster, Basava Premanand is the scourge of all miracle-makers.He is the founder of the Federation of Indian Rationalist Associations and the editor of a monthly periodical called The Indian Sceptic.He believes that it is his duty to dispel the “curse of gullibility blighting his country in the form of myth and superstition”, and replace it instead with the “gospel of pure, scientific understanding”.Since 1976, he has waged a bitter war against Sai Baba, a man who commands a following of millions both in India and abroad. His devotees believe him to be an Avatar, or incarnation of God in human form.But to Mr Premanand, this God is anything but holy.
