Without taking anyone's side akshay will try to see the matter. The concept of Non veg is present in Vedic literature. There were groups in every era who consumed non veg and above that when demons ruled, the rishis of their tradition wrote the books in the favor of non-vegetarian food. Scores of rituals favoring alcohol and animal sacrifice can be seen in Vedic literature. The ruling class used to perform those rituals and consumed the things mentioned as a 'Prasada'.
In Chhandogya Upanishad there is one sadhana mentioned in which it is clearly stated-- the person doing this must not eat fish or meat for one year or throughout his life. Adi Shankaracharya also supported this view. Therefore from this angle sai baba cannot be opposed.
The construction of worshipping place is one thing and calling it a temple another. This word is related with Hinduism. On the other hand sai baba was not an author. He did not wrote or taught via camps or classes. He had siddihies or powers obtained by different forms of tantra which are normally tamasic in nature. In this case, work can be done easily and quickly. The people are more interested in getting quick result. On the basis of cosmic administration the lowest level is worshiped more.
He helped poor people and showed his power in few caes. The media and film industry cashed him and converted him in a symbol of faith. A calendar published from New Delhi published his photo on the date of guru purnima. The day is related with Vedvyas. People can worship personal guru. No one can change the traditional rule. The way in which sai is being promoted is not good. There are hundreds of saints who have shown miracles and helped the mass but none is cashed like this. There is a conspiracy behind this. The cooked stories of miracles after the departure can be added after anybody and even videos are uploaded in YouTube.
The way in which scores of so called temples are built, it is creating confusion. The common men are being mislead. They are brainwashed and are moving away from real temples. Sai baba cannot be taken as incarnation. If he's so powerful, his followers must not worship Hindu deities, celebrate Hindu festivals or go to the pilgrimage places of Hinduism.
A couple of Tamil Nadu is already claiming to be kalki avatar. It is baseless. The couple could not solve cauvery issue by calling another cauvery from heaven. Neither it could help the mass. The same thing is with sai baba. The rich class is getting a chance to convert black money into white.

Akshay was shocked to hear that sai baba was guru bhai of Adi Shankaracharya. A guru bhai means, studied under one guru or taken robes and new name from one guru. Adi Shankaracharya was on this planet much before him. The fanatic followers of sai are saying - there is one yogi in Himalayas of 5000 thousand years old. He was the teacher of Adi Shankaracharya. Sai baba also studied yoga from him. He might have studied but there is no proof regarding Shankaracharya. One thing is quite confusing, every cult or pseudo guru thinks their responsibility of speaking something on Adi Shankaracharya. And even there's no proof of any other Shankaracharya sitting on anyone of the four peetham created by Adi Shankaracharya, related with sai.
Why can't they proceed without this? Why this kind of promotional marketing is being done ? Why pictures of Hindu deities are shown in small forms in the photo of sai? Is there any real need to prove him as an incarnation of Vishnu? Currently trend of proving him as an incarnation of Shiva and Dattatreya has started. There's no need to prove him as a guru bhai of Adi Shankaracharya. Is there any real need to make a gayatri mantra on that fellow who was simply an expert in tamasic sadhana. We are all expert in cooking stories in favor and against. There's nothing new in it. One may get benefit from any x,y,z. That doesn't prove anyone's superiority.

It is in the human nature to run after these things. On the other hand, if personal will power is less, the marketing agents will leave no chance to achieve their goal. One thing is clear. The game played by them may bring small gains but that will be limited to few individuals. They can't play any role in nation level. During china and Pakistan war there were 3 Krishnas in this country. Did anyone went in the battlefield? No not at all. The followers never asked them and none cared for the nation. They were busy enjoying 'raslila' and other things in the name of divine powers . One of them opened his shop in Lahore before independence and started 'raslila' but he was kicked out of the city. He came here and started his business.
The cosmic administration follows law of karma in which place, object, rituals, day, muhurt (auspicious time), day, color, food, etc becomes the medium of giving joy or sorrow. There's no need to highlight the medium and unfortunately this is done by those who want to commercialize the things.
None can make any change in the cosmic law and there isn't any need to label anyone as 'THE LAST THING' , any step of highlighting any medium is against cosmos. Many came and went away from this planet. This show will be taken away by some other sai or gosai.
Every trust knows the weakness of the mass and they go on cashing the faith. People behave like sheep or goat so there's no shortage of followers. The mind starts showing various images based on that faith. Upbringing style helps in this and due to self hypnotism colors, images, smell, etc are experienced. In many cases impact on the gross body is also seen. These symptoms are more psychological in nature. The way in which trust of Sai peopas introduced Thursday as a fasting day, arti, etc it is an open insult but who cares. Other temples are playing his arti. When asked, people said that - 'what to do the CD has got that so we're listening. We donot care'. Good, a period will come when other deities will go behind the stage and new ones will be taken as a natural deity or God of Hinduism. Then no need to worry about others who're converting Hindus into their faith. Everything is OK.
In the last but not least rules regarding keeping the idols and pictures donot allow to keep two or more (idol or photo) of the same deity in the place of worship. Even the photos of expired family members must note be kept with them. And people are keeping the idol or photo of Sai? He followed tantric style and it won't match with satvik or rajasik natured deities. Even the picture of kali and her forms won't match with him. It isn't a rumor or provocative information but the ground reality which can be realized after studying agama granthas deeply. Just see the implied meaning and sangati or matching of that literature. Mismatch of vibrations of forms isn't healthy for householders.
