The Eternal Presence

[Guest guest]

The Eternal Presence An English documentary in the spiritual genre.

 

 

'The Eternal Presence' is a film on Sathya Sai Baba (commonly known

as Sai Baba), a spiritual leader in Andhra Pradesh in the South of

India. His following now is estimated to be in excess of 30 million

people worldwide. Sai Baba was born in 1926 as Sathya Narayan Raju in

Puttaparthy, one of the poorest districts in India at the time. When

he was 14, he announced that he was Sai Baba (which means 'Divine

Mother and Father'), and gave up his education. His family did not

know what to believe and even took him to an exorcist who tortured him

for several days.

 

However, Sai Baba was resolute about his calling and in those early

days gained several devotees, mostly through his supernatural powers.

Although he has never solicited funds or advertised, he now has a

charitable trust which runs into several hundred million dollars. He

has created the only totally free state of the art super specialty

hospitals in the world, provided drinking water for over 1,000

villages and set up several educational institutions. He has been

known to cure people of incurable diseases and raise others from the

dead by his mere will or divine power.

 

Sai Baba lives in one room in his ashram, wears a simple robe and eats

only enough food to maintain his physical form. Recently, he has been

accused of paedophilia and the BBC aired a documentary on this subject

in 2004. His following has only grown since then.

 

Many believe that Sai Baba is an `Avatar' i.e. God in human form. The

objective of the film is to unravel the mystery behind the man. What

is it that makes people flock to Sai Baba? Our film spreads the `news'

about his existence, so that people can evaluate him for themselves.

 

The film is weaved around a pair of narrators who seek to understand

Sai Baba through interviews with recent devotees who have been drawn

to Sai Baba in uncanny ways (mostly dreams and visions) and through

interviews with long time devotees of different religious faiths who

have been with him over the decades.
