Refusing to budge from his stand on Shirdi Sai Baba, Shankaracharya Swami Swaroopanand described him as a Muslim ascetic who could not be worshipped like a Hindu deity and said his campaign to protect the Hindu religion will continue even if he is sent to jail. They may burn my effigy or even send me to jail, but my campaign to protect the sanctity of the Hindu religion will continue, Shankaracharya said addressing a meeting of the central working committee of Bharat Sadhu Samaj at Kankhal. Sai Baba was a Muslim Fakir who cannot be compared to Hindu deities or worshipped like them, he said. Accusing certain forces of corrupting the Hindu religion by arbitrarily creating new gods and propagating them, the Jyotishpeethadhishwar Shankaracharya said the Hindu religion needs to be guarded against such forces. He said his campaign to protect the Hindu religion was being opposed by those who had made religion a means of livelihood.
