The Shankaracharya of Dwaraka- Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati, has once again raised the controversy Sai worship. Swaroopananda has claimed that the drought in Maharashtra is due to the result of worshiping unworthy people like Saibaba. It’s a known fact that Saibaba hails from Shiridi of Maharashtra and is being worshiped like a god, by millions in Maharashtra.
Swaroopananda has always been critical against the worship of Sai- the Sufi saint! In 2014 he ordered the removal of Sai pictures and idols from the temples which were placed along with other Hindu deities. Swaroopananda has also expressed his fury over the entry of women in Shani Shingnapur. "Shani is paap grah. Worshiping him will lead to rise in crime against women," said the Swami. Swaroopananda has made these remarks during his recent visit to Haridwar. His statements when publicised were certain to create a controversy.
