Fwd: Message from head of U.S. Sai Organization

[Guest guest]

Procedure to handle requests for filming interviews with devotees or

officers at Sai centers or regional events by Media Companies

 

Please carefully review the following letter from Dr. Goldstein on this

subject:

 

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Sai Ram!

Recently there have been several media companies who have expressed an

interest in making a program or documentary on Swami, His Works, the Sai

Organization. We have advised these parties that we do not wish to

participate in their documentaries or take part in personal or group

interviews. Specifically, the BBC is contemplating production of a video

which would be controversial in nature. We have informed them that the Sri

Sathya Sai Organizations do not wish to participate in their project.

Therefore, should you be approached by any of these companies, or should

they appear at any Sai Centers or Events with cameras, recorders, reporters,

etc, please advise them respectfully that we do not wish to participate and

politely ask them to leave the premises. If they do not comply with your

polite request, then the appropriate authorities should be invoked, such as

the person(s) responsible for the premises and/or the appropriate

authorities.

Sincerely,

Michael Goldstein

 

If a Media Company approaches you concerning filming at your center,

please follow the procedure outlined above and as soon as practical,

please inform me by phone at 831-457-1983. This is very important. Thanks.
