Abstract: In this article we study the stability problem for the Einstein metrics on Sasaki Einstein and on complete nearly parallel ${mG}_2$ manifolds. In the Sasaki case we show linear instability if the second Betti number is positive. Similarly we prove that nearly parallel $m{G}_2$ manifolds with positive third Betti number are linearly unstable. Moreover, we prove linear instability for the Berger space $mSO(5)/mSO(3{)}_{irr}$ which is a $7$-dimensional homology sphere with a proper nearly parallel ${mG}_2$ structure.
