swami's words on imitation
There are others who claim that I am speaking through them, and answering questions put to them. These people must be either insane or hysteria-affected or they are possessed by some ghost or by the greed to earn money thereby. I can only tell you that it is not I that speaks through them. I do not need media; nor do I need substitutes or subsidiaries or representatives (SSS 10.35).
Sathya Sai Baba warned us, "Those who attempt to become Sathya Sai Babas by this ludicrous process of imitation only destroy whatever faith some people have placed in the Divine" (SSS 12.2).
He says that, "Real devotees will never announce such absurd claims or listen to such claims made by others" (SSS 12.33).
"Some persons misuse the name of Baba, and announce that Baba is in communication with them, giving them messages, answering questions and granting interviews". (Man of Miracles, pp 147-148).

CREATOR/creation vs IMITATOR/IMITATION

In the Bhagavatham, there is mention of a certain Poundraka, who sought to become a passable 'imitation' of Krishna; He added unto his name the name of Krishna, viz., Vasudeva. He announced himself as Poundraka Vasudeva. He got made an imitation Couch and an imitation Wheel (out of wood) and carried them about in his two artificial extra hands. He discovered the style which Krishna adopted while wearing his yellow silken robe and he scrupulously followed the same. He skillfully imitated the gait and gestures of Krishna. Some fools gathered round him, mistaking him to be the Lord they wereseeking. His insanity finally brought about his downfall and humiliation.
In this Kali Yuga also such imitations are cropping up just as Poundraka shaped himself into a Vasudeva. We have today even Sathya Sai Babas: They get the same type of robe stitched; they strain themselves to cultivate the crown of hair; they study photographs and hold their hands up very nearly like I do and make themselves ridiculous by frantic attempts to imitate me. They forget that "imitation is only human, but Creation is Divine.
Those who attempt to become Sathya Sai Babas by this ludicrous process of imitation only destroy whatever faith some people have placed in the Divine. They are poisonous pests which injure the peace and harmony of society. They collect around themselves insects of like nature. For only birds of the same feather can flock together.
These 'pretenders' fall into ruin themselves and bring ruin on the society where they operate, as the proverbial horde of monkeys that ruin themselves and bring ruin on the forest which they inhabit. The real will remain real and fake will destroy itself."

Now, there are bhaktas by the million! They are increasing daily in number. And you might have noticed, Sai Babas too have become very large in number! Also, people claiming association with Me, claiming that I have blessed them more plentifully than others, and authorised them to go about the bhaktas and gain importance or funds or donations! Real devotees will never announce such absurd claims or listen to such claims made by others.

If somebody says Sai Baba's powers have been given to him, then we run to him. Sai Baba's powers are such that they are not given to anybody else. Nobody has the ability to take powers from Sai Baba, nor the ability to give them to someone else. Sai Baba's powers are not given like that, and you should not be led away by such statements. Each one's power is within him; it is not possible to give such power to another person. In this manner, by allowing a weak mind to get control over us, if we begin running from place to place, where are we going to get strength of mind, and control our own mind? We must be able to follow one thought, one path. One does not have to search for spiritual power, going around the world and spending a lot of money.

LINGODBHAVA BY BHAGAVAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA
MAHA SHIVARATHRI CELEBRATIONS 2000
Published on 28 Feb 2014 - Karan S.D. Youtube page
Since the 1950s, Maha Shivarathri has been perhaps one of the most significant festivals celebrated at Prasanthi Nilayam in the immediate Divine Presence of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, the very embodiment of Lord Shiva Himself. The two-day festival is marked by events of great merit, including the Akhanda Bhajan in which bhajans are sung throughout the night of Shivarathri, Swami's Divine Discourse, devotional songs, and even, at times, the Divine spectacle of the Lingodbhavam, wherein lingams would emerge from the mouth of our Lord. From March 4-5 2000, Shivarathri was celebrated with such grandeur, and this video brings to you glimpses of that memorable day. We see Swami giving darshan to devotees on the morning of Shivarathri in the Sai Kulwant Hall, after which students of His university sing devotional songs and stotrams in praise of Lord Shiva and Swami. The last half of the video shows the Lingodbhavam, in which Swami materializes the Hiranyagarbha Lingam from His mouth as bhajans are sung at increasing tempo. Swami then mercifully walks around the hall showing the linga to all present. The video ends with replays of that magical moment, which, if seen, is the fruit of births of merit. This video unfortunately does not include His Divine Discourse. Please share this video with family and friends.
IN CONTRAST, the imitation
After returning from a nearby room where he went for a few moments (to pick up an object and put it in his mouth), Muddenahalli Madhu nonchalantly spits out an object in just a few moments (2017).
To watch a video which shows the huge difference between Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Lingodbhava and Madhu's imitation, go to this link: https://www.facebook.com/shubha.kumar/videos/10158009629135538/
"Devotees of Modern Times are trying to even hoodwink God...!"
"There are many who have deluded themselves that they love God. But they are full of body consciousness and crave for money and material things. Such love cannot be true love at all. It is artificial love. Many people write to Me, "Swami we love You. Please keep us near and dear to You." In this context, let Me emphatically tell you that Sai cannot be attained so easily. You may say that you love Me. But how can I believe you? Is there a spirit of sacrifice in your love? There is no consistency in your words and deeds. You make a promise one day and go back on it the very next day. How can one believe the love of such impostors? Devotees of modern times are trying to hoodwink even God with sweet talk and artificial love. Such people can never attain God. You should have unwavering faith. Even in times of dangers and difficulties, your faith should remain steady. God can be experienced only in times of difficulties. Kashte phali (hard work yields rich rewards). It is also said, Na sukhat labhyate sukham (one cannot derive happiness out of happiness). Consider difficulties as God's gifts and accept them in the right spirit."
