Of course, it is not all hunky dory; people have the right to speak and pass their opinions. Here is a letter received by The Sai Critic, from an ex-officer of the Sai Organisation, and we include the reply.
Nexus Magazine ran an article, mainly extracts from the web site of Ashfin Khorramshagols. Prior to running the article, the editor of Nexus Magazine sent emails to many websites associated with Sai Baba. Indeed, the Sai Critic website received one such message from this magazine. We regret that the Editor of Nexus Magazine does not engage in dialog or conversation. We have not yet seen any petitions to close down Sai Groups and Centres. You may read the Editor's letter here
Other letters of reply will be published upon request.
