I agree. If somebody does not go by Sanatana Dharama, he is free to do so. But if one is sanatani, he must not worship Sai Baba, as advised by Shankaracharya. Undoubtedly, Shankaracharya is an authority on Sanatana Dharama and his viws can not be brushed aside by sanatana dharama followers.

Theoretically, one may do any thing but religion is also a community. One may indulge in deities worship in temple, pray in church and also in mosque. But this will lead him no where and make him a joker. A Muslim cannot worship anyone except Allah. so he cannot worship any image. Similar is the case with others. One has to make a choice. Personally, my choice is that I am an atheist and worship no deity or God.[/quote

Agreed. I too made a choice of not to fall in this tap. I dont go to a place of worship.

Why should a care for other's acceptance? As long as I do not force? I'm not a reformer. I observe the things around and speak my heart out.
