Sai Babu is a Ghost: Swaroopananda

Dwaraka Pitadhipati Swaroopananda yet again stirred a controversy with his unacceptable remarks of Sai Baba. 'Sai Baba is just a human but not a godly figure. Telugus have been offering prayers to Ghost in their houses. Don't equate him with Lord Rama, Krishna and Vishnu. Hindus need to question themselves why they have been chanting Sai Ram instead of Seetha Ram. Campaigns of Santhoshi Matha and Vinayaka drinking milk are a disgrace to sanataria dharam,' he commented during the Lalitha Kala Thoranam at Nampally Public Gardens in Hyderabad.

Swaroopananda opined those who offer food to the needy and see god in every living creature is a real Hindu. He opined Hindus should learn Vedas, offer prayers to cow and Godavari-Krishna rivers. He also gave a call for unity among Indians to end Terrorism.

Sexual Crimes like rapes have increased against Women mainly due to the alcohol consumption. At least, this is what Swaroopananda feels!
