Shankaracharya Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati stated yesterday that Sai Baba of Shirdi should not be worshipped as a deity because he was human and temples dedicated to Sai Baba should not be constructed. This uncalled for statement has caused much grief and sorrow to the devotees of Sai Baba.
I have to remind the Shankaracharya, for whom, I have the greatest regard as one of the foremost leaders of Hinduism, that the 5th to 9th Avatars of Bhagavan Vishnu – Vamana, Parshuram, Ram, Krishna and Buddha, were also in human form.
Each of these Dashavataras manifested on Earth to teach humankind a lesson and trigger off a bend in human consciousness. Likewise, the Hindu religion is replete with examples of various other deities taking human form, to deliver a message to humankind and aid in it evolution.
Shri Krishna said in the Gita that all worship reaches me, even those who worship other deities, with devotion and sincerity, worship me. At those who question and cast aspirations on Sai Baba please ponder on one the most popular phrases used by Sai Baba “Sabka Malik Ek”, this is the teaching which unites and not divides.

People being ignorant, naturally seems confused in illusive obsessions.
As learnt from the fundamental Spiritual Science, Ishwar is prevalent all the time and occupied universally everywhere within minute electron of an atom or mega-universe called Brahmand. It is always and absolutely above the souls occupying mortal bodies including any guru like Sai Baba of Shirdi.
In other words, Ishwar, Allaha, God all are one, unique and the supreme. Baba can be Guru but not the Ishwar which is Param-Guru, Param-Ishwar and the only one. Baba also himself have always endorsed and said this.. which every one knows.
It’s shear obsession wrapped under the cover of ignorance of the beloved devotees and they are therefore messed up in other words called “Maya”. This clearly and mainly has introduced or penetrated by western cultures which have no matured spiritual scientific base that India has for thousands of years. This also has origins connected with British rule over us. Fortunately, many people now know these scientific fundamental aspects of Spirituality and many westerners at top post and already started following in a big way, including recognizing some of Indian gurus who mastered this Science.
Surprisingly, it is learn some disturbed Western Priests had adversely acted to affect our systems over here in India include attempt to eliminate some powerful guru which top westerners have started following sincerely and admire very much. Its noteworthy; these guru’s always ask devotees not even to worship their photo and follow as Ishwar!
Defective off shoots of the obsessions; we find Sai-Baba temples on footpath all over. And is not a good sign may have this view.
If devotees understand what Hindu Spiritual science and even Sai Baba himself said and still follows their illusive obsessions only Iswar help them..!
I have put forth my views even on social media and pleased to repeat; I fully endorse the views of Shivani though am a sincere devotee of Sai Baba.

BABA FOR SURE IS GOD. Not someone who's at back of a God incarnate. All the people who are commenting above, know RELIGION, not SPIRITUALITY. Spirituality is what connects you and makes you God. Not Religion which are made by humans to fulfill their greed.
