An animated clip showing Shirdi Sai Baba ‘preaching’ by using simulated lip movement began doing the rounds of the internet about a year ago. A TV channel then apparently aired the clip.

Sai Baba who took Samadhi in Shirdi in 1918 has millions of devotees many of whose sentiments appear to have been hurt by the clip.

The trustees of the Sai temple at Shirdi now plan to take legal action against the TV channel according to a report in DNA.
