False predictions

Earth changes prophecies

In the late 1980's, prophecies were attributed to Swami claiming that there would be great disasters preceding a transition into the new age. These prophecies claimed that wars, conflicts and natural disasters would kill those who were not able to move into the new age because their consciousness was not high enough, leaving only the chosen who were of a higher consciousness. Recently Madhusudan Naidu has been making similar predictions:

All this evil will vanish by destroying itself. Those who cannot get into the next age, they will perish before they can come in. If they don’t destroy themselves, nature will destroy them.

Master's Divine Command, Kuala Lumpur, March 13, 2015
The below statements were made by Madhusudan Naidu in Italy in April 2015.

I am now preaching that each one must realise their Divinity. In times to come, the Divinity inside will start rising and many people around the world will preach the truth that all are One. Those who cannot understand this truth will perish, just as some plants perish when the seasons change.

Those who follow the path of dharma, will be protected by dharma. In every age, in every time, there were some people who were good and others who were not. It has never happened that the entire world was only full of goodness. Therefore, more and more people will become better, become spiritual, and that is the Golden Age…

We are in a period of transition. Just as day moves into night and night moves into day, the dark night of the Kali Age is coming to an end. However, just as the night is the darkest before the dawn, so there is so much evil at this point in time. Evil will destroy itself as per the laws of Nature, and what will remain will be pure. If you are not prepared for that age, you will not be able to survive there; just as when the seasons change, certain plants don’t survive. Hence, prepare yourself by becoming more pure, more selfless, and more Divine.

Madhusudan Naidu, Italy, April 16, 2015

Just as the seasons change and some flowers fall and others grow, likewise, in these changing times, evil will destroy itself by fighting, and people who are dharmic will enter the next stage; just as in a school, those who did not study will not pass and cannot be promoted.

Madhusudan Naidu, Italy, April 18, 2015
Gerald Dominick (Sai Surya) who sends out the regular reports on what is happening in Muddenahalli has quoted these prophecies saying that Sukshma Baba is fulfilling Sathya Sai Baba’s prophecies. After the disastrous loss of life in the Nepal earthquakes earlier this year he remarked in his emails:

Himalayas - It was said that near the end of his mission that the Himalayas will shrink. The Nepal earthquake did that.

After the second quake in Nepal, he remarked:

It was said that near the end of his mission that the Himalayas will shrink. The Nepal earthquake did that. They had a second severe quake today. We are sure the Himalayas have shrunk even more.

Email by Gerald Dominick (Sai Surya), May 12, 2015

Meanwhile one of Baba’s prophecies are coming true with the Himalaya’s sinking a bit because of the earthquake and there is supposed to be more.

Email by Gerald Dominick (Sai Surya), May 13, 2015
Prophecy 19 on the list of prophecies from the 1980s attributed to Baba was that, "The Himalayas will sink lower and South India will rise higher.”
What did Swami say about these prophecies? Did Swami say at any point that the wicked would be destroyed in this Avatar?

“In this Avatar, the wicked will not be destroyed; they will be corrected and reformed and educated and led back to the path from which they have strayed.”

SSS 1.2: February 21, 1955, http://www.sssbpt.info/ssspeaks/volume01/sss01-02.pdf

The Avatars that have come and gone have all cut down trees because they were white-ant infested, but this Avatar is different and unique. Now, the white ants are removed, the tree is saved, protected, fostered, and encouraged to grow. I am not inclined to punish; I am the goldsmith who repairs and reshapes broken ornaments. Rama came as the embodiment of truth, virtue, and peace (sathya, dharma, and santhi); Krishna came as the personification of love (prema); now, the embodiment of all four is needed, because, at the present time, knowledge has increased beyond the capacity of character.

You cannot realise how much the Lord feels for your sake. His concern is over your wantonness and wilful disregard of His words, for He is interested in your keeping your hearts pure and unblemished. I am very anxious to make you all reach the goal. My task is to purify your hearts.

SSS 2. 22: October 25, 1961, http://www.sssbpt.info/ssspeaks/volume02/sss02-22.pdf

But, in this Kali age, the wicked have to be reformed and reconstructed, through love and compassion. That is why this Avathar has come unarmed. It has come with the message of love. The only weapon which can transform the vile and the vicious is the Name of the Lord uttered with Love.

SSS 7.25: July 28, 1967, http://www.sssbpt.info/ssspeaks/volume07/sss07-25.pdf

Many people are scared because they believe that the Kali Age in which we live will witness the ultimate Deluge. Others call it the Kalaha Age, the Age of Conflict, for it is now well-nigh omnipresent. No, no. This age is the Golden Age for the seekers of God, for earning and learning Viveka.

In December 1978 Sri Sathya Sai Baba also answered a question from Dr John Hislop:

H: Many people are saying that, very shortly, we will enter a period of great catastrophe.

SAI: There may be some peak waves, as I mentioned but the world will be happy, peaceful, and prosperous.

After these prophecies attributed to Sri Sathya Sai Baba were widely circulated to devotees, He gave a discourse on 13 February 1991 in which He specifically denied making these prophecies:
4. No global disaster to be apprehended

Message of Bhagavan Baba repudiating certain reports circulated in various countries attributing to Him predictions of various disasters facing the world in the following years.

SAI will never do or suggest anything harmful to anyone. Some persons in overseas countries as well as some people within India have been distributing pamphlets in which they have published that Swami has stated that in a short while the world will be deluged by a great flood and that large areas will get submerged and that other disasters will overtake the world and many countries will suffer very much. Such thoughts have never occurred to Swami and will never occur. These are the fancies of some idle minds. Do not give any credence to them. In some of these pamphlets, it is stated that parts of this country will get submerged and that Swami will send 12 students for rescuing people and listing a number of points in the pamphlets. Some devotees appear to have been taken in by these pamphlets which are being distributed by mischievous elements. In no circumstance should devotees believe in such stories. Nor should they give them currency by passing them on by word of mouth. You should not lend your ears to such ridiculous reports. It is a sign of weakness to listen to such stories or discuss them.

No disaster is imminent for the world. Over the vast globe, there may be some mishaps here and there, from time to time. The Iran-Iraq conflict lasted ten years. You should not consider it a major war. Even in India, terrorist activities have been going on in the Punjab. Is it a major struggle? Some disgruntled individuals have been resorting to these methods.

SSS 24.4: February 13, 1991, http://www.sssbpt.info/ssspeaks/volume24/sss24-04.pdf
As early as 1976 Swami answered a question from R K Karanjia on whether there would be widespread destructive war before the Golden Age Swami had predicted:

Q: The existing situation driven by evil forces to destruction as you have correctly analyzed it, appears to suggest the inevitability of another Mahabharata-type (an epic relating to the battle of Kurukshetra) war. Does this mean that the salvation for which you are working can be consummated only after a destructive war?

Baba: The evil must and shall be removed before such a catastrophe takes place. There will be minor wars and skirmishes, of course: these cannot be helped in the existing state of affairs. The Mahabharata war was a different issue altogether. Lord Krishna decreed it and, in fact, led Arjuna to the battlefield in order to rid the world of evil men and ungodly forces.

Today, as I told you, the evil is so widespread that humanity itself would be destroyed in a nuclear holocaust in the event of a world war. It is to prevent such a catastrophe that this Avatar has come to raise human consciousness above the existing syndrome of anger, hate, violence and war and save the world from disaster. This can be achieved only by the reestablishment of the brotherhood of mankind though the Vedas, Shastras and all religions with their evangel of dharma to liberate the human race from the chains of karma (the cycle of birth and death).

God Lives in India, p.9, http://www.saibaba.ws/articles2/blitz.htm
Madhusudan Naidu gave a timeframe for these disasters and wars:

The next 10 to 15 years is the transition phase. You will see a lot of these changes happening. Not only here but across the whole world. In the name of religion, in the name of power, in the name of position, people will have different, different conflicts.

Master's Divine Command, Kuala Lumpur, March 13, 2015
However Sri Sathya Sai Baba actually said that by 2018 the world would be peaceful as it would be the time of Prema Sai:

That is some forty years away (this conversation took place in December 1978). At that time the world will be peaceful.

CWBSSSB p.172, http://media.radiosai.org/journals/Vol_05/01MAY07/02-conversations.htm

SUMMARY 1. Madhusudan Naidu says those who cannot get into the next age will perish before they can come in. If they don’t destroy themselves, nature will destroy them; All must now realise their Divinity. Those who cannot will perish. Evil will destroy itself by fighting, and people who are dharmic will enter the next stage 2. Sri Sathya Sai Baba says in this Avathar, the wicked will not be destroyed, they will be reformed and reconstructed through love and compassion, that the evil must and shall be removed before such a catastrophe takes place and that the Avatar has come to prevent the kind of catastrophe Madhusudan is talking about. 3. Madhusudan Naidu says that the next 10 to 15 years will be the transition period when these disasters will occur. 4. Sri Sathya Sai Baba says that by around 2018 the world will be peaceful. Regarding the kind of prophecies that Madhusudan Naidu claims Swami is telling him, Sri Sathya Sai Baba said: SAI will never do or suggest anything harmful to anyone. Some persons in overseas countries as well as some people within India have been distributing pamphlets in which they have published that Swami has stated that in a short while the world will be deluged by a great flood and that large areas will get submerged and that other disasters will overtake the world and many countries will suffer very much. Such thoughts have never occurred to Swami and will never occur. These are the fancies of some idle minds. Do not give any credence to them. In no circumstance should devotees believe in such stories. Nor should they give them currency by passing them on by word of mouth. You should not lend your ears to such ridiculous reports. It is a sign of weakness to listen to such stories or discuss them. No disaster is imminent for the world. QUESTIONS 1. If Madhusudan Naidu is receiving his communications from Sri Sathya Sai Baba, why is he spreading a summary version of the list of prophecies which Swami denied making in 1991? 2. Since he is spreading a summarised version of the prophecies which Sri Sathya Sai Baba vehemently denied making in 1991, can we really believe that his words come from Swami?
