I have not heard a lot of good things about Sai Baba. The only thing I can say is these "Gurus" may be powerful and all-knowing and we can learn some things from them, but in reality, we learn from many different teachers, but the whole idea is not to give up your own power. When control issues come in, it is time to move on. A highly enlightened teacher never allows for co-dependence or control. Like the momma bird, when the chickling is reading, throw em outta the nest, time to move on and live a life.
When Kundalini is open and the person does not understand the Kundalini, the process is frightening. Even to open the Kundalini is a scary process and not one to take lightly. If this process has already happened, a person is usually more aware of their own physical and spiritual being and this is where we need to keep our balance. Life is full of challenges and kundalini is one of them, it is to go with the flow and live and let be. Allow no one to control you or your space and you do not control other's space. Existence should be joy and fruitful and awareness of life and our journey of learning experiences.
In Peace
June

Subject: [K-list] Guru story Hi All
I'd like to share a story with you about gurus. My first awakening (that I
am aware of), happened in 98 when I went to India and saw Sai Baba. Just
over a year later, I was working in Germany, and He appeared to me twice.
While He was with me, I experienced a lot of pain at the root chakra. I was
quite frightened and asked Him to stop as I didn't know what he was doing.
For 2.5 years I trusted that He 'knew best'.
I started to hear stories about how other people were claiming He was
abusing them and claiming it was in the name of Kundalini. I didn't feel
the experience was sexual, but I didn't know. In February this year I was
driving in the south of France, just contemplating the fact that He might
have been abusing me. I was driving on the motorway, and the car began to
swerve. I knew it was Him and I shouted, "Stop it! You may have been doing
what You thought was best, and perhaps my higher self knew, but my lower
self didn't understand what was happening. You didn't respect all of me!"
The car stopped swerving, and I felt like I was travelling in a bubble of
peace from then on.
I learned that He likes people to be angry with him, because Sai Baba works
in a way that He reflects back people's own issues, and yes, for a long time
I didn't have any respect for myself and I allowed others to control me. I
knew a big shift had taken place that day. I don't see Him as my 'guru' -
I'm not tied to any spiritual tradition at the moment (though I sometimes
practice Kriya Yoga and Kundalini Yoga). However, He still pops up at
interesting times. He hasn't abandoned me, even though I don't worship him
like many others do.
Any comments welcome.
