PUBLIC STATEMENT ON MUDDENAHALLI Happenings:
"Dharma Sansthapanarthaya Sambhavami Yuge Yuge!"
GOODBYE MUDDENAHALLI!
"I am totally against what is happening in the name of “Sukshma Baba” at Muddenahalli. It pains my heart as much as forgery, corruption or scandal pain my heart. It pains even more sometimes because it is being done in the name of the personal God who I continue to worship. I know I am not alone in this pain. There is a threshold of pain in the devotees which, when crossed, the Lord will destroy the wicked as He has promised, “Dharma Sansthapanarthaya Sambhavami Yuge Yuge” Till that happens, I am clear which side I am on - the side of my Lord, Sri Sathya Sai. And He has clearly told me, “Keep away from Muddenahalli (the Sukshma Baba MDH)."

A PUBLIC STATEMENT ABOUT THE MUDDENAHALLI NONSENSE!
BY ARAVIND BALASUBRAMANYA
MAY 3, 2016
Dear all,
I call it "nonsense" because that is what one would say about something that does not make sense at all.
I have come to know of various efforts by different individuals to portray me as someone who is 'silently supporting' the self-appointed successor to our dear SathyaSai - the so called 'Sukshma Baba' who is invisible and non-existent, yet seems to need money, cars, food - everything in the physical domain.
The screenshot below speaks about me addressing a gathering in MDH. It is true... but not the light in which it is being presented.

A perfect example of throwing names out of context - a skill specialization of the MDH Masala team.
B.N.Narasimhamoorthy sir was the warden when I was a student at Brindavan. I received a call from him sometime in 2013. This was after I had put a post on FB inspired by the many "dreams" of the aforesaid warden. I also wrote an article about the first school he planned to start. I must say that many seniors at Prasanthi asked me why I was supporting a divisive trend in Swami’s Organization. I was touched with their humility but answered them back by saying, “What is wrong with what he is doing? I stand by what I wrote...” They said that they would pray to Swami to give me a good discrimination.
So, when Narasimhamoorthy sir called me and said, “There are devotees from Singapore coming over for a retreat at Muddenahalli. Would you speak for an hour about your experiences? I will arrange a taxi for your to and fro travel. Get your parents as well... You will also be permitted to visit Swami’s room here...”
Naturally, I was very excited and I agreed. I also went there and spoke to a group of devotees about my experiences with Swami as His student. I had no idea that this was the “chosen” group from which would emerge the first “blessed” or the “cursed” ones (depends on which side of fate you are). It took me months to understand what was going on. The “dreams” turned out to be the personal ‘dreams’ (read ambitions) of an individual based on the dream of his former mentor - Sri Madiyal Narayan Bhat. And I was shocked when I saw the extent to which the people went to misuse Swami’s name. So much so, they have ascribed the sole goal for Swami as something which Swami never mentioned Himself! I also do not know if the revered mentor would agree to such use of his own name!

See the description that still exists on the website to misguide those who can be misguided.
As I got to know of things, I repented having given a talk in Muddenahalli. I also removed the article I had written and got the various translations of the article also removed. I had no idea then that the MDH followers had got it translated into multiple languages and had also put it up as a Kannada article in their own publication at Alike and Muddenahalli. (In the fallen Muddenahalli I must clarify. Because there is a sane Muddenahalli too - constituted by the University campus that Swami started. I still go there to speak to the students who are so pained by the nonsense going on across the compound wall. Hope this is not portrayed misleadingly as “even Radiosai’s Aravind goes to Muddenahalli!” Even that one time when I went, I did not go as “Radiosai Aravind”. I went as a “naive Brindavan student invited by former Brindavan warden” Aravind.} I also prayed intensely to Swami and He clearly told me to keep completely away from Muddenahalli. I have shared all that in a 2-part group discussion we had on Radiosai - Deciphering the Muddenahalli Mayhem.

I am really amazed at the audacity of people to throw names and mislead people.
I am totally against what is happening in the name of “Sukshma Baba” at Muddenahalli. It pains my heart as much as forgery, corruption or scandal pain my heart. It pains even more sometimes because it is being done in the name of the personal God who I continue to worship.
I know I am not alone in this pain. There is a threshold of pain in the devotees which, when crossed, the Lord will destroy the wicked as He has promised, “Dharma Sansthapanarthaya Sambhavami Yuge Yuge”
Till that happens, I am clear which side I am on - the side of my Lord, Sri Sathya Sai. And He has clearly told me,
“Keep away from Muddenahalli (the Sukshma Baba MDH).”
After writing this, I hope nobody gets misled by my name appearing in the MDH masala mix. If it still happens, well, I can’t help it can I?
And FINALLY,
If you wish to actually know what is the Sukshma, it is best to refer to what Swami Himself has said about it...It is at the link below:
