Shri Sai Baba Sansthan, Shirdi (Maharashtra) will take legal action against all those who exploit Sai Baba name by constructing"duplicate samadhi (mausoleum)"and putting up his"paduka (shoes)"in different parts of the country.
"We will be taking legal action against all those who have made temples in the name of Shri Baba and also made his samadhi and put his paduka there. Baba took samadhi in Shirdi on Oct 15, 1918. This is the place where his samadhi and original paduka (shoes wore by Sai Baba) exists," Managing Trustee Shri Sai Baba Sansthan, Shirdi (Maharashtra) Ashok Khambekar told PTI here.
He said that the organisation did not have any objection to shrines dedicated to Sai Baba but claiming that they were his samadhi and paduka was not fair.
He said that that it had also come to their notice that some people claim themselves to be scion of Sai Baba and earn money.
