Shankaracharya of Dwaraka,Swami Swarupanandji of Jyotir Math who has passed a controversial statement last week ,stating that Shirdi Sai Baba is not  a Hindu God. According to his statement Baba prayed to Allah , ate meat and was not acceptable as a God among the  5 mains Gods that Hindu worship. This was made against the Union Water Resources Minister  Uma Bharti’s statement that she prayed and believd in Baba and this was not acceptable as Sannyasini should only pray to Hindu gods. Uma Bharti had given an explanation and  refused to comment further owing respect to the Seer. He rubbished claims that he made these statements at the behest of the Congress party and anyone was free to worship any God. But the fact is that Shirdi Sai Baba cannot be accepted as a god.Meanwhile a Sai temple in Lucknow has  filed a petition in Allahabad High Court seeking an FIR against him which will come up for hearing  on Friday. A case has also been filed against Shankaracharya Saraswati in Jaipur.

The Nagas Sadhus of Varanasi have threatened to come on to streets and protest if any action would be initiated against the Swami in what could  lead to a potential Hindu War in the Country. The BJP Government is yet to make any statements regarding this.
