SHARON
PURCELL'S PERSONAL STORY
by Glen Meloy
Sharon Pucell of Tustin, California has asked me to Email, post and
share her personal story on web sites around the world. She and myself are
also giving permission for any of you to copy, print out, publsh and/or
send this communication by Email or postal mail to anyone who can help expose
and stop the Sai Baba molestations. The major part of this story has been taken from Sharon's original notes to me and then read back to Sharon because she does
not at this moment have access to a computer. Every word has her stamp of
approval and endorsement. The names that are mentioned are because Sharon wants
it that way and if they are omitted, it is only because the person involved
doesn't want to publically come forward at this time. Many of the stories have
also been corroborated by myself directly with the source individuals........and
I have personally known Sharon and many of the individuals mentioned in this
Email now for over 27 years.
Sharon was a devotee for 32 years and together with Elsie and Walter Cowan,
Fritz and Victoria Ellis and her then husband, Gary, started the first official
Southern California Center in the hilltop home of Elsie and Walter in the Cowan
Heights section of Tustin, California.
All of them had been devotees of the late Kirpal Singh prior to their
involvement with Baba. In September 1966, Sharon and Gary had met Elsie and
Walter thru mutual friends by the name of Inga and Jack Hanson. Walter was in
charge of the Kirpal Singh Organization in Anaheim, California.
Till April 1968, Sharon and her husband, Gary observed the devotional
rituals associated with Kirpal Singh which included a lot of work which Walter
and Elsie claimed was helping poeple on "the other side". In
particular, they helped these people to realize they were really dead. According
to Elsie, she and Walter travelled around the "inner planes of
conciousness" at will. One day Elsie got stuck outside her body and
couldn't get back in. She called on Kirpal Singh, but nothing happened. Then she
called on the "highest form of God available" and someone came in
energy form and got her back in her body.
The next day, a friend came over who had been to the "East West Cultural
Center" and gave Elsie a book about Sai Baba. That evening, Elsie asked if
he was the one who put her back in her body. She intuitively felt he was...and
unknown to the other Kirpal Singh devotees, including Sharon and Gary, Elsie and
Walter then made a quick secret trip to see Sai Baba in India.
When they returned, they turned the administration of the Kirpal Singh group
over to their friend and started worshipping Sai Baba.
Sharon and Gary believed all the stories told by Elsie and Walter and they
immediately became part of the original group of 6 that was now
worshipping Sai Baba in Southern California and Sharon was asked to be Walter's
personal secretary.. At first the meetings were held in the Cowan's huge garage
which was attached to their 22 room house in Tustin. When they outgrew the
garage, they went to a meeting hall in Orange County.
In 1971, Walter and Elsie invited Gary and Sharon to go to India with them. When
they arrived in April they never had to wait in the darshan lines....they were
allowed to go directly into Baba's house and had personal interviews every day
of their visit. Later Sharon realized that the many interviews were a privilege
accorded to the Cowan's because of their enormous wealth. It also explained why
the Cowans were allowed to start the first book and publishing center outside of
India to reprint and distribute all the Baba books. Walter was a business tycoon
who had amassed a fortune because he figured out the locations of many oil and
natural gas deposits.
Although Gary Purcell right from the start said that Baba was pulling out his
alleged manifestations from the sides of his chair, Gary was criticized at the
time by his wife, Sharon and others and told that he was NOT mean't to be a
devotee.
According to Sharon .....One day, Elsie asked Baba if Jesus and Baba were the
same. Baba said" NO...All one All One" Then he allegedly manifested a
small blue amulet of Jesus and passed it around. Finally, Baba put it in his
hand, closed his fingers and blew on it 3 times and it became a green amulet of
Shiva. At Elsie's bidding, a photo of that same manifestation was personally
delivered by myself to Dr. Sandweiss in 1974 for his soon to be published book
entitled "The Holy Man and The Psychiatrist". Elsie had asked the late Walt Neubaurer and myself
to revitalize and be the co- managers of the Tustin Book Center. We were
reprinting many of the original Sai Baba Books and Dr. Sandweiss had just
started his new publishing company called Birthday Publishing.
Sharon now feels this manifestation of Shiva was produced by that part of Baba
that she now considers to be a demon from the astral world.
On that same trip, Baba told Sharon that she would have a son and that she was
to name him Sathya. When they returned home and while she was in the
shower, her husband Gary decided to name him Sathya Sai. Sharon preferred the
name Sathya Deva in case the son later wanted to change his name or go by the
name of Dave. The whole birthing incident was indelibly burned on her mind
because she was in labor for 46 hours, which she later interpreted to mean that
the so called Avatar was NOT there to help her.
In 1972, Walter Cowan allegedly died in India and there are many stories
alleging that Sai Baba raised him from the dead after he had suffered a heart
attack and his orifices had been stuffed with cotton and his body hauled off to
the morgue.
Later, Sharon's long term male friend who Baba had sexually molested by forcing
his penis into the devotee's mouth and then ejaculating his sperm....
would tell her that the resurrection stories were not true and that he was
an eye witnesss to what really happened. This person is also known to me and
told me the same incidents. The accounts of Cowan's personal physicians
completely contradict the ressurection claims that Dr. Hislop and many others
have been making for 29 years in print and in many lectures and retreats around
the world.
It is interesting to note that Sai Baba used the same deceptive and forceful
technique of shoving his penis into the mouth of the 15 year old California
boy..... Both boys had been asked to take Padnamaskar and touch and kiss Sai
Baba's feet. When they were allowed to rise up on their knees, Baba suddenly
raised his robe and displayed his penis and the boys were then instructed to kiss it afterwhich he forced it into their mouths.
In 1977 when little Sathya was 4 years old, Sharon again went to India, this
time with Richard Kaplowitz. Baba later married Richard to Michelle who at the
time were actually perfect strangers.
Upon returning from her trip, Sharon and Gary decided to divorce. In 1978,
Sharon again went to India and Baba promised that he would perform her new
marriage in six months. To this day (23 years later), it has never
happened....another false promise by the so called Avatar.
When she and her son, Sathya went again in 1991, they didn't even get an
interview.
It's now 1993 and Sathya Sai Purcell went to India with Hal Honig's group of
boys. One week later, Sharon followed her son to India with her friend, Jill.
They got one interview.
On that same trip, Sharon told me that Sai baba had molested 3 of Satch's
friends in private interviews which caused him to tell his Mother he no longer
believed in Sai Baba. One of the boys in his group who had his genitals oiled by
Sai Baba was Josh Kintz, son of Mahri and Bruce Kintz, long term members of the
former Cherry Valley, California Center under the leadership of the late Joy Thomas and now currently active members of the Hemet,
California Center. Another friend, Jed Geyerhahn also shared his
molestation experience with Sathya Sai Purcel and as most of you know Jed has
also publically allowed his molestation experiences to be published in Faye and
David Bailey's writings called "The Findings". There was a third boy
in that same group, but we don't at this moment have his name. All of these
victims are now of legal age and no longer considered minors.
As if the molestations were not enough, the infamous shootings at Puttaparthi
occured while Sathya and his Mother were still there and young Sathya remembers
vividly having to jump out of the way when they were still sweeping the blood
from the temple later that morning. Honig's group of boys had been allowed to be
on the verandah for morning darshan..
Unfortunately, Sharon said she mistakingly believed at the time that Sai Baba
was merely rechanneling the sexual energies of the boys into spiritual energy
and she continued to believe in Sai Baba for 7 more years.
This continued until May 2000 when a close female friend told her a pathetic and
tragic story of how her husband had his genitals oiled by Sai Baba in 1968. She
told Sharon about all the negative stories concerning Sai baba on the Internet
and how her husband, who was an intimate friend of Iris and Howard
Murphet, had been asked by Sai baba to go back to the USA to study and get all
the necessary credentials and experience to be Baba's personal airplane pilot.
This came as a shock to the young man, who at the time was thinking about
becoming an accountant. But because this was a direct request from God Almighty,
the young man spent thousands of dollars and for 10 years invested all his
energies and money into becomig qualified to be the personal airplane pilot for
Sai baba.
When he returned to India, he was on the front line trying to tell ssb that he
had done what Sai Baba had requested and that he was now returning to be his
pilot. After completely ignoring him, the day finally arrived when he stood up
and waved all of his credentials at Baba and then came the incredulous words
from baba's mouth......."WHAT CAN I SAY?????.............NO PLANE!"
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE INSULT? THE HURT? THE STUNNED DISBELIEF?
Sharon was in shock for several days after hearing that story and then to
confirm what she had heard, she called another close male friend who revealed to
her that Sai Baba had also molested him. She told him that she no longer
believes in Sai Baba and that she wanted him to tell her exactly what Sai Baba
had done to him over 30 years prior. He told her that Baba had molested him and
had ejaculated into his mouth after taking Padnamaskar. It was such a disgusting
story that she immediately called her female friend married to the would be
airplane pilot and her friend also instantly stopped believing in what they both
now call a monster.
Sharon feels that she was put on this earth to expose Sai Baba and she is
shocked over the large number of her friends and other long term devotees who
will not even read about the molestations or contact the victims. She also
is concerned that the late Walter and Elsie Cowan may have ended up in an
astral demon's realm.
Sharon, by the way is a neighbor in the same complex with Berneice Mead
and will later discuss what she thinks of the many cruel and unkind statements
made by Berneice about molestation victims. And this is the same lady who leads
the entire Education in Human Values Programs in the USA and is appearing as a
guest speaker at the Wilma Bronkey Retreat.
Friends, just think about it for a minute.........How in the world can it
possibly be considered a kundalini raising or a stopping of bad karma for a
devotee when a so called avatar deceptively and forcefully enters and ejaculates
into that devotee's mouth?
It's an abomination of the Truth and defiles all the Truth and Goodness
manifested by previous and existing Holy representatives of Godhood or
Sainthood.
For those of you who still want to defend ssb, please explain this and please
document with historical records showing where any avatar, realized being or
incarnation of any deity has previously done such an act to their devotees.
Sharon also wants to remind all of you who have not read Tal Brooke's book,
"Avatar of Night" to do so because Tal was the original whistle blower
on the Baba molestations. In the USA, it is available by calling 800-266-5564.
For your information, Sharon is prepared to spend the rest of her life to expose
and stop Sai Baba's sexual molestations on innocent boys and young men and she
prays that other people will now come forward and also tell their stories.
For Love, Truth and Goodness,
Sharon Purcell
