Sathya Sai Baba's ashram Prashanthi Nilayam at Puttaparthi in Andhra Pradesh, which had gone quiet after the death of the spiritual guru on April 24, is back in the news with the trustees finding cash of $2.5 million, 98 kg of gold and silver articles weighing 307 kilograms from his private room. The money and valuables took 36 hours to count.

Yes ofcourse.. I mentioned every such fraud in my post. He is not Sai Baba by the way, Sai Baba's temple is in Shirdi. Though I think that too is a money spinning operation but please use correct names. He is Sathya Sai

Why ONLY SAI BABA's assets. Let the govt. confiscate the money from other religious groups as well.

All his assets should be confiscated by the government along with the assets of every such fraud in India.

Its become like a common game now, the easiest way is to make a ashram and do all kind of money making tricks, every one come in picture will have one in crores,

The best part is that what ever case they get caught in everything will be closed in 3 to 4 months of time and they will be back in business!!!

When will India stop all this things completely!!!!

If an ordinary man keeps 50 laks rupees at home, he is criminal, undeclared money,Revenue Department, Income Tax department all will rush to the house and start searching the house, media, press, police, jail and what not problems.

All these criminal background people like the so called GODMAN Baba Ramdev, Sri Sri Shankar and so many others can do any damn thing and no one will dare to touch them.
