Do not worship Shirdi Sai Baba, says Shankaracharya

June 24, 2014

New Delhi, Jun 24: Shankaracharya Swami Swaroopanand 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.sai shankaracharya

"Muslims would have had the same amount of faith in Sai Baba if he really was a symbol of unity between the Hindus and Muslims," he said.

The seer also expressed his disapproval over the construction of Sai Baba temples saying that it was merely a way of making money in the name of the spiritual man. Sai Baba was certainly not an incarnation of God, since there are only 24 incarnations of Lord Vishnu, as mentioned in Sanatan Dharma. Worshipping Sai Baba is a conspiracy to create division among Hindus, he said.

He said that foreign organizations were conspiring to prevent Hindus from uniting, the Shankaracharya Swami told news channels. He also said that Sai Baba was not to be considered a guru because he was a non-vegetarian and advocated circumcision.

New Delhi, Jun 1: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday sought a discussion on advances in telemedicine, the use of "Make in India" products in the healthcare, and the use of IT tools in the medical sector for a healthier society.

Addressing an event at the Rajiv Gandhi Health University in Bengaluru via video conference, he sought a discussion on whether new models can be conceived that make telemedicine popular on a larger scale.

Referring to the "Make in India" program, he said the initial gains made in this field make him optimistic. "Our domestic manufacturers have started production of personal protective equipment and have supplied about one crore PPEs to those in the frontline of fighting COVID-19.

Modi said IT-related tools for healthier societies can be of great help.

"I am sure you have heard of Arogya Setu. Twelve crore health-conscious people have downloaded it. This has been very helpful in the fight against coronavirus," he said.

Madikeri, Mar 29: In an alarming situation in neighbouring Kerala State and instances of inter-state migration of Coronavirus suspects, the authorities on Sunday sealed both Dakshina Kannada and Kodagu borders, prohibiting entry of people from Kerala into Karnataka.

Dakshina Kannada had sealed its borders after repeated instances of people misusing ambulance services to travel to Mangalore. Villagers along with the police hauled mud on to the roads that were used as alternate routes.

The road that connects the two States, which people from east Kasargod used to enter into Karnataka, were closed at Mulleria by dumping mud on the road.
