Shankaracharya Swami Swaroopanand on Sai Baba's devotees

Haridwar, June 24 (ANI): Dwarakapeeth Shankaracharya Swami Swaroopanand, who was booked on Tuesday for "hurting religious sentiments" has refused to budge from his stand. He had said on Monday that Sai Baba of Shirdi is not a symbol of Hindu-Muslim unity and should not be worshipped because he was a human being, and not a God. However, the complaint has not stopped him from making another controversial statement. He has now said that the followers of Sai Baba should stop worshipping Lord Rama, taking holy bath in river Ganga, and chanting Har Har Mahadev. Jun 24, 2014
