Robert Priddy's Moon Madness

Referenced from robertpriddy.wordpress.com/2007/10/25/deceiving-devotee-makes-bogus-image-of-sai-in-the-moon/

Robert Priddy wrote a blogged article about a Sai Devotee he erroneously accused of making a "bogus image of Sai in the Moon". The image in question is below:


Further sticking his foot in his mouth, Robert Priddy said:

"However, the falsifier who put together the deceptive image presented a completely circular moon. A wholly transparent fraudulence, in fact a wilful, and outright lie! Of course, had this occurred (except perhaps in the over-heated imagination of some devotees), it would have been global news story No. 1!"

Although Robert Priddy's numerous lies have been fully documented and exposed by me, he continues to fraudulently and shamelessly lie about other unapologetically. This type of vicious behavior proves that Robert Priddy is mentally unstable and is in need of orthodox psychological help.

Since Robert Priddy (the alleged and self-professed "scholar") is totally incapable of conducting even the most remedial and elementary or research, let me supply the general public with verifiable facts.

First of all, Darpan (the "Sai Devotee" referred to by Robert Priddy) fully admitted that the image was not real. Darpan said:

Sairam,

Dear all,
this is not a real image, but im sending what i could see and visualise, what we all saw yesterday looking at the moon. there was not need to imagine a shape or make a guess the visual on moon was as clear as the image im sending now. HIS hair, eyes, nose and even HIS smile was very clear.

Sairam,
enjoy! HIS blessings.
yours sincerley,
darpan (Reference)

Secondly, the SaiBabaOfIndia website linked the image directly to the post above. Click on the image for yourself (Reference). Anyone with any semblance of visual and mental acuity can see that the image in question is a composite and is not the Moon. Therefore, Robert Priddy's entire article is based on lies and fraudulent information that he never cared to research or verify for himself (which he can often be seen doing in relation to Sathya Sai Baba).

Robert Priddy loves to jump to the worst case conspiratorial view because he cares more for sensationalism and sleaze and cares less for accuracy and the truth.

Although Robert Priddy published Darpan's email, he apparently never contacted him to get his facts right. Robert Priddy also published Darpan's picture on his blog. What is strange about this is when I published Robert Priddy's public-domain picture on my website (Reference), he whined and hissed that I violated his copyrights. Although Robert Priddy continues to whine and hiss about the publication of his picture on my website (and how it violates his copyrights), he published Darpan's picture (without obtaining his permission) and saw absolutely nothing wrong with copyright issues. More shameless, self-serving hypocrisy from Robert "The Liar" Priddy.

Robert Priddy should immediately delete his defamatory post filled with numerous bold-faced lies and publicly apologize to Darpan. After all, this is exactly the type of behavior that critics demand of me when I make a mistake. They should practice the precept they wish for others to follow.

Robert Priddy's Man In The Moon

On Wikipedia, the “Man In The Moon” article contains the following information:

“The ‘Man in the Moon’ is a mythical figure resembling a human face, perceived in the full Moon in some cultures. The figure is composed of large dark areas (the lunar maria, or seas) on the Moon’s surface. The figure’s eyes are the Mare Imbrium and Mare Serenitatis, its nose is the Sinus Aestuum, and its open mouth is the Mare Nubium and Mare Cognitum.

The conventionalized image of the Man in the Moon, unlike the vague natural appearance, bears just a very simple, wide-grinning face.

The Man in the Moon is an example of pareidolia. Other cultures perceive the silhouette of a woman, a hare, a frog, moose, or a buffalo in the full moon.

The Nepalese have a tradition that the dead go to the Moon.

In Japan and Korea, popular culture sees a rabbit making mochi and Tteok, respectively, in the moon.

Shia Muslims believe that name of Maulana Ali Ibne-Abi Talib (Muhammad’s son in law) is written on the moon. This interpretation has roots in several sayings (hadith) by Muhammad where he compares Ali with the Moon and himself to Sun. The notion is that Ali’s teaching is the light that shall guide the muslims after Muhammad has departed. There are also other esoteric interpretation of this analogy in islamic philosophy.” (Ref)

The following pictures contain outlines to supposed figures on the Moon along with the infamous Man On The Moon figure:



As one can see, these moon figures are rather vague and are very difficult to perceive without the outlines. However, as Robert Priddy (an ex-devotee) pointed out, there is a very strange and distinct outline on the Moon that is easily perceivable in relation to Sathya Sai Baba. Robert Priddy made several comments about Sathya Sai Baba and the “Man In The Moon” on his Anti-Sai blog and even published the following image:


When looking at the full Moon, one can clearly see an outline of a face within another outline of afro-like hair. When Sathya Sai Baba’s face (minus his hair) is put into the Moon’s empty face-outline, one can easily perceive how the Moon’s afro-like hair outline completes his look. See the following images for examples:





Although I am unsure how many people will support Robert Priddy’s comparison between Sathya Sai Baba and the “Man In The Moon”, I find it strange that he sees his former guru in the Moon, obsesses about his former guru on almost a daily basis and can’t seem to move beyond his anger and bitterness in relation to his former guru. It most certainly appears that Robert Priddy (while constantly howling at the Moon about Sathya Sai Baba) has gone mad. Needless to say, when Robert Priddy was a Sai Devotee, he saw Sathya Sai Baba In The Clouds and In His Green Stone Ring. Who knows where Robert Priddy will next see Sathya Sai Baba and what laughs he will bring us when he does?
