Panaji:
The Shri Sai Baba Sansthan Trust (SSBST) is considering legal
action against four Sai Baba temples in the country which claim to
have samadhis (mausoleum) of the ascetic on their premises.
"Sai Baba undertook Samadhi at Shirdi on Vijaya Dashmi day in
1918. No other place can have his samadhi anywhere else other than Shirdi," Ashok Khambekar, managing trustee of SSBST, told
reporters here.
The four Sai Baba temples claiming to have duplicate samadhis are
in Hyderabad, Dehradun, Pune and Bangalore.
"We have asked them to remove the samadhi and are waiting for
their response. We are also considering taking legal action
against them if they do not comply with our request," Khambekar
said.
"They can have temples and idols of Sai Baba, but they cannot play
around by having duplicate mausoleums on their premises,"
Khambekar said.
Located in the village of Shirdi in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar
district, the SSBST is said to be the second richest temple trust
after the Tirupati Tirumala Devasthanam trust in Andhra Pradesh.
