Materialisations

Madhusudan Naidu's supporters have claimed since 2011 that Swami materialises things like rings, bracelets and chains in his pockets to be given to devotees.

Some of them were blessed with rings and bracelets! Ah, yet again point I missed out! Whenever Swami wanted to give someone a gift like this, it would just appear in Madhusoodhan brother’s pocket, and Madhu brother just hands it over to the person!

In January 2015, Gerald Dominick (Sai Surya) in his General Introduction to Sukshma Baba, a document Madhusudan confirmed as being correct, claimed that these objects were materialised in Madhusudan's pocket:

Sukshma is pure energy. As a result, it is not possible to materialize items anymore

but they do appear in Madhu pockets.

Then in March this information was revised in and we were told instead:

Some people have received objects such as rings and neck chains. These were either placed in Madhu pocket ahead of time as Swami knew who was coming when. In other cases, the items were teleported. All these items had been purchased from jewelers (sic) according to specifications by Sukshma Baba.

Despite Gerald confirming in March 2015 that the 'materialisations' are just store bought items given out as gifts, in April 2015 Connie Shaw wrote in her report on the Muddenahalli meeting in Croatia:

Further, as proof of Swami’s Presence, Baba manifested a breath-taking, diamond-encrusted medallion of a standing Sai Baba, in a gold setting, for the excellent translator, a humble doctor, which the physician showed to me, backstage. No sleight-of-hand artist could have instantaneously produced such a fine and expensive talisman, so lovingly made.

Connie Shaw, Glory of God in Croatia, pp.4-5
Why has no one from the Muddenahalli team advised Connie Shaw that the medallion was bought in a store, not materialised?
Madhusudan and his supporters have been allowing devotees to think that Swami is materialising these items in Madhusudan's pocket. What did Swami say about this kind of behaviour?

Magicians play their tricks for earning their maintenance, worldly fame, and wealth. They are based on falsehood and they thrive on deceit, but this body could never stoop to such a low level. This body has come through the Lord's resolve to come. That resolve is intended to uphold truth. Divine resolve is always true resolve. Remember there is nothing that divine power cannot accomplish. It can transmute earth into sky and sky into earth. To doubt this is to prove that you are too weak to grasp great things, the grandeur of the universe.

43rd Birthday Discourse, http://www.sathyasai.org/discour/1968/d681123.htm

So far as I am concerned this is evidence of My divinity. It is not by any means an exhibition of divinity. All performances of magic, as you know are done for the sake of income. These are tricks of the magicians trade. They constitute a kind of legalized cheating, the transfer of an object from one place to another by a trick of the hand which goes unnoticed. They involve no siddhi (occult power) or miraculous power.

What I do is quite a different act of creation. It is neither magic, nor is it siddhi power either. For one thing, I seek no return. For another, I do not cheat people by transferring objects, but I create them. Again, I do so not because of any need or desire of exhibition of My powers. For Me this is a kind of calling card to convince people of My love for them and secure their devotion in return. Since love is formless, I do materialization as evidence of My love. It is merely a symbol.

God Lives in India, pp.11-12
Even if there were evidence of genuine materialisations, Swami has also spoken about the incredible yogic powers that human beings can acquire through spiritual disciplines, which includes the creation of objects:

Hislop: When reading, I found a passage saying that sage Viswamitra created a duplicate universe. Could such a thing be possible?

Sai: Yes. The sage agreed to transport one of his disciples to the heavenly regions with the disciple remaining in his physical body. The Gods did not agree. Viswamitra became very angry and created a universe, even though God came to him and asked him not to. Viswamitra created even a pantheon of Gods in the subtle space and then transported his disciple there in body. But that which is contrary to God's will cannot last, and Viswamitra's universe did not endure.

SUMMARY 1. Madhusudan Naidu's supporters said that Swami now materialises things in Madhusudan's pockets. 2. They then admitted that the jewellery he gives out is pre purchased in a shop and placed in Madhusudan's pocket or 'teleported'. 3. Despite this, no one from the Muddenahalli team corrected Connie Shaw when she claimed that Madhusudan materialised a diamond studded Baba pendant. Connie herself claimed that no sleight of hand artist could have produced the pendant. 4. Sathya Sai Baba described this as a kind of legalised cheating and said that He does not cheat people by transferring objects, He creates them. His power is also not a siddhi like teleportation. QUESTIONS 1. Why did it take the Muddenahalli team four years to admit that Madhusudan Naidu is giving out store bought jewellery, not materialised objects? 2. Materialisations of vibhuthi are still occurring all around the world. If Swami is manifesting at Muddenahalli, why would it now be impossible for Him to create jewellery as He did while in the body? 3. Why have none of the Muddenahalli team corrected Connie Shaw's testimony that Madhusudan materialised a pendant in Croatia?
