Haridwar, Apr 11: Dwaraka-Sharda Peeth Shankaracharya Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati has held the worship of the "unworthy" Shirdi Sai Baba by his followers responsible for a drought-like situation in Maharashtra.
According to the Dwaraka seer, worshipping Sai Baba, a 'fakir', as if he were a god was 'inauspicious'.
"Calamity strikes where those unworthy of worship are worshipped," the Shankaracharya was quoted as saying in a report by Times of India.
In support of his claim, the Dwaraka-Sharda Peeth Shankaracharya also quoted scriptures to emphasise that "such places suffer drought, flood, death or fear"
Maharashtra is facing all of these, he concluded.
The 94-year-old seer also expressed his opinion on the Shani temple row and said that women should not have entered the sanctum sanctorum of the Shani Shingnapur temple as "it will bring bad luck to them".
"Shani is a planet of sins. Worshipping him will lead to a rise in crime against women," he added.
Women entered Shani temple inner sanctum, due to this, incidents of rapes will increase further, Shankaracharya Swaroopanand was quoted as saying by ANI.
The Dwaraka seer had on many occasions in past disapproved worshipping Sai Baba.
In 2014, he had said the "mystic who was no god" should not be worshipped, and asked his devotees to remove his photographs and idols from temples where "Sai Baba gets pride of place with Hindu deities".
Sai Baba of Shirdi, also known as Shirdi Sai Baba, was an Indian spiritual master who is regarded by his devotees as a saint.
He is revered by both his Hindu and Muslim devotees. But most of the devotees treat him as an incarnation of God and worship him.

After few years this guy dies and also he will have followers and Mandir to be worshipped. He should say about this before his death...that he is not a god...
# 16 -- GURU : Sometimes read QURAN before U make such comment without knowledge... It will give U full needs of our LIFE & our creator .. please
From the great blessings of ALLAH is the blessing of rain, in it there is LIFE for the earth and plants, life for animals, and life for mankind. These examples are all mentioned in the QURAN.
ALLAH said : He it is who sends water (rain) from the sky, from it YOU drink and from it (grows) the vegetation on which YOU send your cattle to pasture - QURAN an Nahl 16:10)
With it He causes to grow for YOU the crops, the olives, the date palms, the grapes and every kind of fruit. VERILY! in this is indeed an EVIDENT PROOF and a manifest sign for People who give Thought - Al Nahl 16:11)
From these verses we learn that RAIN is a blessing and virtue from ALLAH. Attributing this blessing to other than ALLAH such as stars and seasons and it is even heard to be attributes to mother nature is disbelief in this blessing and in the one who sent it. it is obligatory on the Muslim to attribute this blessings to ALLAH alone & to remember this whenever he sees the RAIN.

Very Funny...Ache din main yeh din bhi dekneko mila...Wa Modi ji Wa. One thing is Confirmed that there is no Equality for the Women in the Society and More over no security for our sister's in India.
People of India Wake up before its too late. Your future is in front of you.
Convert to Islam where you do not have to worry about anything. Worship the creator not the creation. Whatever you see in this world is creation of the Creator. Know and understand your Creator through his beautiful creation like Sun, Moon, Stars, Sky, Mountain, Sea, ...etc etc.
