Astronaut did not land in Baba ashram
NASA astronaut and scientist Brian O'Leary reportedly stopped in at the ashram of Sai Baba, a controversial Indian guru with a history of sex abuse allegations, to learn about peace, reported the Hindustan Times.
Subsequently, CultNews reported about the connection between O'Leary and Sai Baba, January 20, 2003.
Never mind.
O'Leary sent the following statement to CultNews via email:
"I am in India now, with absolutely no intention to visit Sai Baba. The newspaper article in the Hindu[stan] Times was planted by a devotee who had no idea as to my intentions in my trip. It is total disinformation. I have never been, and am not, a devotee of Sai Baba. About ten years ago, I visited him to observe his Siddha powers from the point of view of a scientist."
OK.
The astronaut will actually lecture at the Neyyar Dam Sivananda yoga ashram.
It seems that some people once interested in Sai Baba have lost their interest.
Maybe that's because where there is so much smoke, a fire might be burning? Sai Baba's supposed "Siddha powers" seem to have consumed him.
