Tiruchi youth held forcibly at Nithyananda ashram?

http://news.oneindia.in/2010/03/11/tiruchi-youth-held-forcibly-at-nithyananda-ashram.html

Bidadi, Mar 11: Tiruchi police has reportedly received a complaint from a couple alleging that their son had been forcibly held at Swami Nithyananda's ashram at Bidadi.

Buzz up!
According to a Times News Network report, a police inspector from Tiruchi landed at Bidadi police station on Wednesday, Mar 10 looking for a youth from Tiruchi.


"It all depends on what the boy wants to do. He can either go with his parents or stay back. We are only assisting the Tiruchi police," police sources are quoted as saying.

This comes amid the raging controversy over a sex scandal involving the godman. A scandalous video of the Swamiji in a compromising position with a Tamil actress Ranjitha surfaced last week, giving raise to a lot more allegations against the spiritual guru.

As the media dug deep to find more dirt on Nityananda, it was alleged that human right violations and sexual abuse took place in the ashram.

Apart from the reports of two people held forcibly in the ashram, there are reports that a Canadian devotee died in the ashram under mysterious circumstances.

The ashram authorities, however, have brushed aside all these allegations.

Telecast of Nithyananda video violates culture?

http://news.oneindia.in/2010/03/11/telecast-of-nithyananda-video-violates-culture.html

Bangalore, Mar 11: After a PIL was filed in the High Court seeking direction to stop the repeated telecast of Swami Nithyanada's sex scandal video clips on the electronic media, Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa and state Home Minister VS Acharya have both opined that the repeated telecast was in fact in bad taste.

Buzz up!
The scandalous video which surfaced on Mar 2 shows Swami Nithyananda in a compromising position with Tamil actress Ranjitha. The sex scandal first came to light as the media aired the footage. The footage continues to be played in the media as the controversy refuses to die down.


"It (repeated telecast of the footage) does not adhere to our culture," the chief minister is quoted as saying in a Times of India report.

On the investigations into the scandal, BSY said that Tamil Nadu is yet to submit a report on the case. Acharya said that he has directed DC and SP of Ramanagaram to probe the case.

मुझ पर लगे आरोप गलत: स्‍वामी नित्‍यानंद गुरूवार, मार्च 11, 2010,16:17[IST]

बेंगलुरू। हाल ही में दो महिलाओं के साथ अश्‍लील कृत्‍य करते हुए पकड़े गए कर्नाटक [^] के संत स्‍वामी नित्‍यानंद ने एक टीवी चैनल के माध्‍यम से अपनी बात लोगों के सामने रखी है। सेक्‍स स्‍कैंडल में बुरी तरह फंस चुके नित्‍यानंद का कहना है कि उनके खिलाफ लगे सभी आरोप गलत हैं।

टेलीविजन को भेजे गए वीडियो में साक्षात्‍कार में उन पर लगे सभी आरोपों की बात की गई, सिवाए तमिल अभिनेत्री रंजीता के साथ सेक्‍स स्‍कैंडल वीडियो के।

पढ़ें- नित्‍यानंद का मसाज मैने किया: रंजीता

साक्षात्‍कार में जब स्‍वामी नित्‍यानंद से बिदड़ी आश्रम में गैरकानूनी कार्यों पर सवाल उठाए गए तो स्‍वामी जी ने सबसे पहला [^] जवाब दिया कि आश्रम के लिए जमीन उन्‍हें सज्‍जन राव परिवर ने दान में दी थी। जिसके कागजात [^] आश्रम के पास हैं और जल्‍द ही आश्रम की वेबसाइट पर प्रकाशित कर दिए जाएंगे।

आश्रम में कनाडाई महिला की मौत पर सवाल के जवाब में नित्‍यानंद ने कहा कि महिला की मौत संदिग्‍ध नहीं, बल्कि एक हादसा थी। महिला एक दीवार पर बैठी थी, जिस पर से गिरने पर वो गंभीर रूप से घायल हो गई। हम उसे तुरंत अस्‍पताल भी ले गए थे, लेकिन वहां उसे मृत घोषित कर दिया गया था। पुलिस ने भी उसे हादसा घोषित कर दिया था। चंदन की लकड़ी की तस्‍करी करने के आरोप पर स्‍वामी नित्‍यानंद ने कहा कि चूंकि आश्रम में बहुत सारे चंदन के पड़ थे, इसलिए चोर सेंध लगाकर कई पेड़ काट ले गए। न कि आश्रम के किसी व्‍यक्ति ने पेड़ काटे।

दक्षिण भारत [^] के टेलीविजन चैनल पर दिखाए गए इस इंटरव्‍यू की खासियत यह थी कि इसमें एक भी सवाल स्‍वामी जी के सेक्‍स स्‍कैंडल से जुड़ा हुआ नहीं था। इससे यह साफ है कि स्‍वामी नित्‍यानंद ने इस इंटरव्‍यू के माध्‍यम से महज अपना पक्ष रखा है।

Footage telecast in bad taste: CM TNN, Mar 11, 2010, 03.53am IST

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bangalore/Footage-telecast-in-bad-taste-CM/articleshow/5669790.cms

BANGALORE: Chief minister B S Yeddyurappa and home minister V S Acharya have felt that the repeated telecast of the Swami Nityananda scandal footage to be in bad taste.

Yeddyurappa said that he was waiting for the investigation report on the case from Tamil Nadu, while Acharya said that the state government has directed DC and SP of Ramanagaram to probe the case. As no report has come from Tamil Nadu, no case has been booked against the swami.

The repeated telecast of the footage, he said does not well with the tradition of our country. "It does not adhere to our culture," the chief minister said. Regarding the ashram land, he said there is no law to take away private land.

"I have heard that Tamil Nadu officials have said that the act has happened in Karnataka. The swami is absconding, unless the land belongs to the government, we can’t seize it. If there is any complaint, we will take action," the chief minister said.

"About the warning given to the swamis in TN, I am not aware. At least we are not going to do such things," he added.

Tiruchi police arrive at ashram

A police inspector from Tiruchi has arrived at Bidadi police station looking for a youth from Tiruchi, who has joined Dhyanapeetam Ashram of Swami Nityananda.

According to police, a couple had lodged a complaint with Tiruchi police that their son had been forcibly held at the ashram at Bidadi. The inspector landed at Bidadi on Wednesday.

"It all depends on what the boy wants to do. He can either go with his parents or stay back. We are only assisting the Tiruchi police," police sources said.

HC Stays Channels From Telecasting Nityananda Video

http://news.outlookindia.com/printitem.aspx?676479

Bangalore | Mar 11, 2010
The Karnataka High Court today restrained local television channels from airing "obscene, uncensored and private bedroom scenes" relating to self-styled godman Swami Nityananda's alleged sex scandal.

A bench of justices V Gopala Gowda and B S Patil ordered issue of notice to the state government and several TV channels on a PIL by former BJP MLA and advocate K N Subba Reddy.

According to Reddy, some channels on March 3 had telecast video clippings of alleged illegal and immoral activities of Nityananda and a Tamil actress. Soon this was telecast in all channels across the country.

He submitted that the clippings contained obscene and immoral scenes and this would have a definite bearing on young children and had an impact on the elders.

Such telecast would degrade several persons and also harm young minds, the petitioner said and prayed for a direction to the respondent media to stop and refrain from telecasting "the obscene, uncensored and private bedroom scenes".

Noting that he was neither defending Nityananda nor the activities, he said he was interested in upholding the great Indian culture and heritage.

After passing the interim order, the judges adjourned the hearing on the petition to March 17.

Following violence targeting Nityananda's ashram near Bangalore and in Tamil Nadu and complaints of rape and cheating against him, the ashram had called the clippings a conspiracy to malign him, claiming they were morphed.

A public interest litigation petition has been filed in the Madras High Court Bench here seeking to initiate action against a Tamil television news channel under Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995 and Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986 for airing video clips in which a person purported to be Nithyananda of Dharampaeetam was seen in a compromising position with a film actor. The court on Wednesday adjourned the matter to Frida

Media has a responsibility

http://www.dnaindia.com/opinion/main-article_media-has-a-responsibility_1357890


Social scientists may be able to answer this — what is the trigger point for a peaceful but angry procession to turn violent? The police, because of their experience in handling processions that are peaceful but turn ugly later, may actually be in a better position to figure out when pent up fury bursts open.

If they knew that for sure, they would probably be able to turn things around. And the proof that there is no clear cut answer lies in the recent violence in some parts of the state.

The violence in the wake of protest marches in Hassan and Shimoga, following publication of an article in a newspaper, was eminently avoidable. There have been cases from the past of processions against publications going completely haywire.

It does not take more than a couple of stone-throwing incidents and burning of tyres to create a sense of fear in areas with a mixed population. Surely, in this particular case, different communities were also itching to let off steam going by the few stabbing incidents that followed later.

Many see in such instances a periodic ventilation of pent-up frustration or anger by groups of people or communities. That still does not explain why some petty shops and establishments in Hassan or Shimoga, which had very little to do with the publication of an article in a newspaper, had to be torched by protestors. It can’t even be called collateral damage because they were as far as they could be from the newspaper.

Many now believe that it is the lack of sensitivity on the part of the media that is causing tensions to remain high, even if the initial burst of anger and pent up feelings may have passed.

The case of swami Nithyananda is quite illustrative. He was a self-proclaimed godman. So the rules of a religious order may not have applied to him. Yet, you do not wish to see a saffron clad swami’s romp in a bed room just as one does not wish to see an ageing governor of a state, ND Tiwari, in a similar situation.

Even if the conduct of these two men was not unlawful, the fact that it lowered the dignity of the position they held in the eyes of the public may be a sufficient cause to expose them. But to bombard us with lurid images continuously is an affront to our sensibilities.

That is what you may think but television channels know that there is a huge audience for such stuff that is sure to bring in better TRP ratings. Sensitivity, therefore, can go out of the window as long as they can claim that they are serving public interest. Pubic interest, however, is least served when the media disregards the consequences of either publishing or broadcasting images that can be provocative.

As a rule, Indian media shies away from criticising each other unlike in the West. In fact, when violence broke out in Hassan and Shimoga last week after a Kannada newspaper published an article, most papers did not identify the paper in their news reports the next day.

The reason, obviously, was that by identifying the paper, one would be exposing those who worked for that particular paper to violence. Quite a good reason to be careful. Erring on the right side is not a bad thing actually. Why then, one may wonder, did the newspaper — Kannada Prabha — ignore such sensitivity knowing fully well that anything that seemingly criticised practices in a particular religion would touch raw nerves?

The experience of another paper in Bangalore a few years ago in a similar situation should have cautioned it. The first casualty in the race for eye balls is restraint and a complete disregard for the larger good. The most horrible thought is that during the November 2008 Mumbai terror attack, the media unwittingly helped the handlers of the Pakistani terrorists guide them by watching what channels in India were beaming.

For quite some time now, there has been a persistent effort to get the media to follow a code of conduct. Media leaders have resisted that, because it is somehow seen as antithetical to the spirit of freedom. That is true, but when self-restraint fails, laying down a code may be in order.

After all, most citizens are law-abiding, yet we have punitive laws that come into play only when laws are broken. A code of conduct, even if it is self-imposed, could serve as the Lakshmana

Guruprasad condemns Swami Nithyananda Thursday, March 11, 2010, 11:10 [IST] By: Shekhar H Hooli

http://entertainment.oneindia.in/kannada/top-stories/2010/guru-condemns-nithyananda-110310.html

Mata fame director Guruprasad has condemned Paramahamasa Nithyananda Swamiji by saying that despite having alleged affair with Tamil actress Ranjitha, he continues to deny the fact. He said if he thought he was pure, then he should hand over all his alleged property to the government and re-establish his personality as a samyasi by sacrificing all worldly things.

Buzz up!
Three years ago, the director had predicted this kind of alleged act in his blockbuster movie Mata, which featured comedy king Jaggesh in lead. The movie deals with the purity of crimson cloth (Khavi dress). It depicts the illegal activities that happen in today's Ashrams.


In an interview to Kannada news channel TV9 on Wednesday evening, Guruprasad said, “Although whole world has seen Swamiji's video footage, he denies it by saying it has been morphed. If he is clear and he has not allegedly made any property. Then he should give up all his belongings to government. He should give up his worldly desires and reestablish himself as a real Swamiji."

Guruprasad also slammed at the devotee of Nithyananda by calling them 'foolish'. He said, “Despite seeing him involving in sexual act with actress Ranjitha at his Bidadi Ashram, they still believe him as their Guru. They don't think that he is a great actor. They still support him, adore him as a godman."

The director said that there are hundreds of Swamijis like Shivakuamrji those who are serving the society. The people like Nithyananda are creating bad impression about them. He further said, "Finally, I would like to suggest his devotees they should wake and stop supporting him. For Swamiji, I would suggest his drama is enough and he should shed his mask and come out with clean hands.”

Swami Nithyananda dismisses all allegations Thursday, March 11, 2010,14:08 [IST

http://news.oneindia.in/2010/03/11/swami-nithyananda-dismisses-all-allegations.html

Bangalore, Mar 11: The scandal-tainted Swami Nithyananda was given a chance to clear off all the allegations levelled against him when a Princeton-based researcher Rajiv Malhotra caught up with him on an interview.

Buzz up!
In the interview Mr Mahaltra brought up all of the allegations slapped against the godman, except the one involving a sex scandal with Tamil actress Ranjitha, which surfaced last week.


When asked about the controversy over the Bidadi ashram land, the spiritual guru said that the land was donated to his mission by Karnataka's Sajjan Rao family in 2003. He added that the land was obtained legally and all the documents supporting this land transfer were with the ashram.

The interviewer, who is also disciple of the Swamiji, asked him to put up all the documents on his website so that things are clear to the people.

"Will publish immediately," the Swami promised.

'No crime involved in Canadian devotee's death'

On the mysterious death of a Canadian devotee, Nithayanada reiterated what was said earlier by the ashram that the death was an accident.

The devotee had a habit of sitting on the parapet wall, and he did not listen to the ashram inmates' repeated advises against it, the Swamiji said, adding that one day when he fell from the parapet wall.

"He was immediately rushed to hospital, where he was declared brought dead," Nithyananda informed.

The police and the family are convinced that it was an accident and there was no crime involved, he stated.

'No one is being held forcibly at the ashram'

Terming the reports claiming that youngsters being held forcibly at this ashram as 'pure lies', Nithyananada said, "Everybody is there willingly. If they want to leave, they are free to leave."

The inmates first fill up applications for admission into ashram. Youngsters are also expected to submit a consent letter from the parents, the Swami added.

This was in reference to the media reports suggesting that people are being held at the ashrams against their will, which accounts to human rights violations.

Swami stealing sandalwood?

On sandalwood charges, Swami Nithyananda clarified that that it is just a 'situation' and nothing more than that.

The bidadi ashram, which is filled with sandalwood trees, had invited the attention of some thieves. The thieves, who stole a tree, had left some pieces lieing around, he said.

Watch the interview video

After the theft a police complaint was lodged and the forest department was intimated, the Swamiji said. But now the authorities are claiming that they should have been informed about the pieces of sandalwood left there also, he added before terming it a 'situation' and nothing more.

The godman also dismissed other allegations of amassing wealth and Tamil Nadu rape charges in an interview devised by the researcher, who admitted that he wanted to hear the other side of the story as against the things being reported in the media.

மோசடி சாமியார்களுக்கு மரண தண்டனை தர வேண்டும்- யோகி ராம்தேவ் புதன்கிழமை, மார்ச் 10, 2010, 12:52[IST]

http://thatstamil.oneindia.in/news/2010/03/10/ramdev-death-sentence-fraud-religious.html

சிம்லா: மதத்தின் பெயரால் மோசடியான செயல்களில் ஈடுபடும் சாமியார்களுக்கும், மத குருக்களுக்கும் மரண தண்டனை அளிக்க வேண்டும் என்று யோகா குரு சுவாமி ராம்தேவ் கூறியுள்ளார்.

இதுகுறித்து சிம்லாவில் அவர் செய்தியாளர்களிடம் பேசுகையில், ஏராளமான சாமியார்கள் மோசடி செயல்களில் சிக்கி அவர்கள் மீது பெருமளவில் வழக்குகள் தொடரப்படுவது பெரும் ஏமாற்றத்தையும், கவலையையும் அளிக்கிறது.

குறிப்பாக பாலியல் புகார் [^]களுக்கு ஆளாகும், நிதி முறைகேடுகளில் சிக்கும் சாமியார்களின் எண்ணிக்கை அதிகரித்து வருவது அதிர்ச்சி அளிப்பதாக உள்ளது.

இதுபோன்ற தவறுகளைத் தடுக்க ஒருவர் பாபா (குரு) ஆக குறைந்தபட்ச தகுதியை நிர்ணயிக்க வேண்டியது கட்டாயமாகிறது. இதுதொடர்பாக முன்னணி மதத் தலைவர்களுடன் நான் பேசி வருகிறேன்.

Malaysia Hindu Sangam (MHS) President R.S. Mohan Shan has said that even if Indian spiritual guru Swami Paramahamsa Nithyananda is found guilty of being involved in a sex scandal, his ashram in Kuala Lumpur will not be asked to closed down.

The Star Online quoted Mohan Shan as saying that this was because the guru's teachings were not against Hinduism.

"If the case is proven against Swami Nithyananda, we will just advise the centre to change its name and continue its activities which are in accordance with the religion," he said.

Mohan Shan added that the ashram was awaiting confirmation and further details from one of the main atheenams in India.

Atheenam is an institution where spiritual leaders gather to discuss all aspects related to Hinduism.

"So far, we have not received any information and therefore, we are not in a position to issue any directive for the time being," he said.

Nithyananda landed in trouble after a private Indian TV channel showed him in a compromising position with a Tamil actress. (ANI)

Swami Nityananda's sleaze tapes go to court DNA Wednesday, March 10, 2010 9:47 IST

Bangalore: Even as the sleaze case against Paramahamsa Nithyananda awaits the Tamil Nadu police chief’s nod to be transferred to Karnataka, a petition was filed before the high court of Karnataka seeking restraint order on television channels from airing the raunchy clippings.

Sources in the Tamil Nadu police said the case would be transferred to Karnataka only if director general of police Letika Saran rejoined duty on Wednesday. She had gone to visit her native state, Kerala.

Chennai police commissioner T Rajendran had on Monday said that the case, registered based on a complaint by former Nithyananda devotee Karuppa Lenin, would be transferred to Karnataka, as all offences alleged in the petition happened at Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam in Bidadi.

Lenin had accused Nithyananda of “misbehaving” with “beautiful” women and “forcing” them into performing sexual acts with him.
Meanwhile, in Karnataka, advocate and former president of the advocates’ association KN Subba Reddy, in his petition filed before the high court, named the chief secretary, police commissioner and the association of Broadcasting Company Private Limited as respondents.

Reddy contested that TV channels depicted illegal and immoral clips of Nithayananda with a woman, which had shocked everyone believing in the sanyasi dharma. Reddy named the woman as Ranjitha in the petition.

Children and teenagers, who had watched the repeated telecast of visuals, were misled into believing wrong things, the petitioner said, adding that the visuals had embarrassed viewers.
In a related development, the Nithyananda Dhyanapeetamsought advice to initiate legal action against Lenin, who claimed responsibility for taping the swami’s acts.

Following the sex scandal, the ashram was likely to postpone the Mahakumbabhishekam, originally scheduled for March 21, according to Sri Nithya Pranananda, a senior executive of the ashram.

KUALA LUMPUR: A centre run by followers of Swami Paramhamsa Nithyananda, allegedly involved in a sex scandal in southern India, will not close down and will continue to promote his teachings, a Hindu leader said.

Malaysia Hindu Sangam (MHS) president R.S. Mohan Shan said they have taken this decision as Nithyananda's teachings were not against Hinduism.

"If the case is proven against Swami Nithyananda, we will just advise the centre to change its name and continue its activities which are in accordance with the religion," The Star newspaper quoted him as saying Wednesday. "So far, we have not received any information and therefore, we are not in a position to issue any directive for the time being," he said.

A sensational video footage allegedly shows Nithyananda, who originally hails from neighbouring Tamil Nadu, in a compromising position with two women.

The man in the clip appears to be Nithyananda and one of the women a Tamil actress who has played leading role in many films and TV serials. He has a large following amongst the two-million strong Indian diaspora in Malaysia.

Swami Ramdev seeks death penalty for fraud Babas Wednesday, March 10, 2010,13:50 [

Shimla, Mar 10: Enraged at the increasing number of religious gurus being caught in sex scandals, Yoga guru Swami Ramdev on Tuesday, Mar 9 has sought death sentence for fraud 'babas' who indulged in wrong doings in the name of religion.

Buzz up!
Expressing the need to keep a check on fraud religious gurus, Ramdev prescribed a minimum qualification to prevent everyone from becoming a 'baba'.


"I am talking to leading religious heads for this," he told reporters here in the presence of Himachal Pradesh Chief minister Prem Kumar Dhumal.

When asked if he would like to be part of a body like Press Council of India to keep an eye on "fraud" religious babas, he declined saying that there are many qualified persons to take care of such issues.

The statement came after a sex video of Swami Nithyananda created an uproar across the counry.

In the same week, a religious guru, Icchadhari Baba was arrested by the Delhi police for running sex rackets in different parts of the country and even abroad.

Ramdev also expressed his support for the Women's Reservation Bill when he was asked to comment on it.

Talking about his political plans, Ramdev said that he was not launching any party but said that the 'force' he was creating in all 543 Lok Sabha constituencies of the country would have a dominant role in next general elections to choose right public representatives.

Ramdev ruled out the possibility of joining politics, stating that he has no political ambition.

"My role will be that of a guide to finish off 'Ravanas' who are ruining the political system now," he said.

The yoga guru also emphasised on the need for launching a nation-wide campaign against black money.

Responding to a question on the buying of an island in Scotland, Ramdev said that the 700 acre island in Scotland was gifted to him by a Britain based NRI to prepare infrastructure for propagating yoga worldwide

Politicians in bed with India's 'pimp gurus'

Politicians in bed with India's 'pimp gurus'
By Narendra K

GHAZIABAD, Uttar Pradesh - His silk robes, ornate turbans and high-end imported sedans belie his status as "god-man", a Hindu ascetic who guides people in their spiritual quest. In fact, the personalized carriage that chugs around a specially laid railway track in his ashram, as well as his sprawling farms, dairies, factories, bakeries, schools and floating, revolving restaurant, all point to a life of luxury.

Baba Gurmeet Ram Rahim is the head of Dera Sacha Sauda, a religious sect in Sirsa (a city in the west of Haryana state, about 255 kilometers from New Delhi) that has millions of disciples. He is a prime example of why notoriety follows India's self-proclaimed "god-men".

When the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), India's central



investigative agency, recently charged him in connection with the murder of Faqir Chand, a former associate in the Dera Sacha Sauda, his followers went on a rampage, bringing life to a standstill in parts of Punjab and Haryana states.

After passenger trains and the Punjab finance minister's bus were set alight, additional police forces had to be drafted in with fire extinguishers as rumors spread that the Baba's devotees planned to self-immolate.

It is not the first time that the police's attempts to detain Baba Gurmeet have led to riots. Last year, his private guards were accused of shooting a Sikh dead in Mumbai, leading to mass unrest. Disciples also protested in 2008 when the CBI implicated him in two murders and the rape of a sadhvi (female disciple).

The Faqir Chand murder is the fourth CBI case involving the Baba, who is 43. Chand has been missing for over a decade, but the case was only recently assigned to the CBI when Ramkumar Bishnoi, a man from Chand's village, approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Baba Gurmeet is currently being tried for the murders and the rape case in Ambala, a city on the New Delhi-Chandigarh highway. The murder cases relate to the killings of Ramchander Chhatrapati, a local journalist, and Ranjeet Singh, a former disciple.

Chhatrapati would criticize Gurmeet's alleged misdeeds in his news reports, while Ranjeet Singh had accused Gurmeet of raping his younger sister. The CBI has charged Baba Gurmeet with arranging their deaths through his henchmen.

Try as it might, the CBI has not been able to detain Baba Gurmeet. While his co-accused cool their heels behind bars, Gurmeet has been granted bail and will testify in Ambala court through a video conference. Some say this is because, with his millions of disciples, Gurmeet is still very useful tool for local politicians.

Before the controversies, various leaders from political parties such as the Shiromani Akali Dal, the ruling Congress party and the Indian National Lok Dal, would all regularly visit him.

"Politicians still patronize him for votes. That is why his supporters can indulge in arson and rioting and the police stay away from him," said Anshul Chhatrapati, the son of Ramchander Chhatrapati.

Gurmeet's spokesperson, Aditya, denies the charges and says the media should instead focus on the charities financed by the Dera Sacha Sauda sect.

Besides Gurmeet, other religious gurus have recently been implicated in unsavory episodes that purportedly involved police and politicians.

Swami Nithyananda, a god-man who has a large following in the southern states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu was last week filmed cavorting with an unidentified Tamil actress in a television sting operation - he is now on the run. His ashram has said the video footage, run by a television channel, is "fake".

Swami Bhimananda, a follower of the legendry guru Sai Baba, was arrested by police in February for allegedly running a high-end call girl racket in the city. Bhimananda allegedly used a temple in south Delhi for operations allegedly involving about 200 prostitutes, including air hostesses from a foreign airline and students. Bhimananda has been arrested on similar charges in the past.

Delhi police have said that contacts of the accused revealed from six diaries seized at the time of his arrest included the names of "100 high-profile policemen, politicians and bureaucrats, besides prostitutes". They added that Bhimananda, who media have dubbed the "pimp guru", had political ambitions and wanted to use his many followers as a vote bank.

The cases of Baba Gurmeet, Nithyananda and Bhimananda have re-affirmed the views of skeptics that India's self-styled god-men, despite their claims of spiritual or mystical powers, are simply confidence tricksters.

"Most of them are not [holy]. They're charlatans. I don't know why people fall for them," Dipankar Gupta, a former sociology professor at Jawarhalal Nehru University in New Delhi told Agence France Presse over the Karnataka sex scandal.

The nexus between the fake god-men and politicians and police is a vicious cycle, TN Jayachandran, former additional chief secretary of Kerala state, told the Thai-Indian news agency.

"God-men make their presence felt because those who have power and money search for temporary peace through them. These god-men, in turn, exploit these high-profile people and use them to expand their base and fame," he said.

Not all are dismayed at the recent scandals. Sanal Edamaruku, head of the Indian Rationalist Association, who has campaigned for years to expose false gurus, told the Straits Times that they are part of new awareness developing in India over the god-men. "I am very, very happy about it," he said.

Narendra K is a journalist based in Ghaziabad, India.

மலேசியாவில் நித்யானந்தாவுக்கு சுமார் 400க்கும் மேற்பட்ட தீவிர பக்தர்கள் இருப்பதாக கூறப்படுகிறது. இவர்கள் இந்த மையத்தில் தியானம் மற்றும் சொற்பொழிவுகளை நடத்தி வந்தனர்.

இந்நிலையில் கடந்த வாரம் நடிகை ரஞ்சிதாவும், நித்யானந்தாவும் படுக்கையில் புரளும் வீடியோ காட்சிகள் வெளியாகி பெரும் பரபரப்பை ஏற்படுத்தியது.

புகார்கள் குறித்து நித்யானந்தா தரப்பில் தெளிவான விளக்கம் அளிக்கப்படாத நிலையில், பக்தர்களின் கேள்விகளை இங்குள்ள ஆஸ்ரம நிர்வாகிகளால் சமாளிக்க முடியவில்லை.

Ashram doesn't deny Nithyananda's sexcapades Tuesday, March 9, 2010,9:40

http://news.oneindia.in/2010/03/09/swami-nithyananda-scandal-dhyanapeetam-statement.html

Bangalore, Mar 9: Addressing a press conference at the Bidadi Ashram on Monday, Mar 8, Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam authorities said that they can not positively confirm or deny that the man seen in the sex tape is Swami Nithyananda or not.

Buzz up!
International co-ordinator and spokesperson, Swami Nitya Sachithananda, Sri Nitya Gnanananda Mahacharya, and Nitya Prananda informed that Nithyananda will be talking to his devotess once again through a website in a span of four or five days.


The mission authorities stuck to the contention that the sex scandal was created with 'surgical precision' by someone who wanted to defame the spiritual guru.

“We are contemplating legal action against those responsible for tarnishing the image of Swami Nithyananda and the ashram,” the spokesperson said.

He also dismissed various allegations levelled against Nithyananda and his ashram in the media in the wake of the sex scandal.

Apart from brushing aside reports of rape and sexual abuse, Sachithananda also dismissed land dispute between the ashram authorities and the Maran family and the alleged human right violations in the ashram.

On the mysterious death of a Canadian devotee in the ashram, he clarified that the decreased, identified as Melvin Boyd Diamond, had a history of health problem and that the ashram could produce the post mortem report to prove that there was no foul play involved.

Tuesday March 9, 2010 Ashram linked to scandalised Swami stops operation

GEORGE TOWN: A centre in Kuala Lumpur which promotes the teachings of Indian spiritual guru Swami Paramahamsa Nithyananda who is involved in a sex scandal has ceased operations until “the truth is revealed”.

The centre’s spokesman said it had been flooded with calls from followers since the Swami’s alleged involvement in the scandal broke out.

“We made the decision to stop operations for a while following advice from the Malaysia Hindu Sangam,” he said when contacted here yesterday.

Nithyananda landed in trouble following the telecast of video footage by a television channel in India showing him in a compromising position with a Tamil actress.

The spokesman said the ashram in Taman Desa Gombak was the only centre in the country to promote the teachings of Nithyananda. It was set up two years ago.

He said devotees, who learnt about healing the sick and tapping into their inner strength for peace of mind, provided services from their homes.

“We do not have the exact number of devotees in Malaysia or healing centres. I believe there are about 400 healers in the country,” he said.

Bank clerk N. Thirunavukkarasu, 45, said he has been Nithyananda’s follower for the past three years.

“I was shocked to see the footage. I do not believe that the Swami would have done some­thing like that.

“Ever since I became a follower of his teachings, I have experienced a lot of positive changes in my life,” he said, adding that he met Nithyananda during the latter’s visits to Malaysia in 2008 and 2009.

Another follower who only wished to be known as Kumar, in his 30s, said he was disappointed that Tamil dailies here only published one-sided reports against Nithyananda.

“One day they are full of praises for him and next they just put him down,” he said, adding that he believes the footage could have been doctored.

Nithyananda disciples hold proxy press meet

http://vizagtheater.blogspot.com/2010/03/nithyananda-disciples-hold-proxy-press.html

Their sex scandal-tainted swamiji is still at large, so a press conference called by three senior followers of self-styled godman Paramahamsa Nithyananda on Monday turned out to be a proxy platform to clear some of the charges levelled against him.

Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam spokesperson Nithya Sachidananda addressing the press at Bidadi in Bangalore on Monday. DH photoNot only did they not answer reporters’ queries on the video flicks which allegedly showed Nithyananda in a sex romp with a Tamil actress, for the most part the three saffron-clad swamijis’ stock response was “no comments”. The press conference was organised at Nithyananda’s Bidadi ashram a day after the godman appeared in a video to proclaim he had done nothing illegal.

All that Nithyananda’s press coordinator Nithya Sachithananda would say was that the secretly filmed footage showing the godman make out with Tamil actress Ranjitha was released to malign his swamiji and that it was executed with “surgical precisions.”

Sachithananda said the “swamiji himself will appear to comment on all issues related to the video.”

When asked when Nithyananda would appear to clear all charges, Sachithananda said the godman’s “personal security” was risk and so “we have advised him to come after a few days.”

Pointing out that his organisation was consulting legal experts, Sachithananda questioned the technological knowledge of Nithyananda’s close aide Lenin Karuppan, alias Dharmananda, who is believed to have secretly filmed Nithyananda’s sexcapades in a room within the ashram premises.

Asked whether the sting operation was the result of a land or finaincial deal gone awry, Sachitananda said “no comments.” Sachithananda claimed Nithyananda’s organisation has no branches in Sri Lanka and that the Bidadi ashram was built over “100 per cent legal and patta land.” He also brushed aside allegations of encroachment.

Sachithananda claimed Ranjitha visited the Bidadi ashram as a devotee seven months back and attended meditation programmes. He challenged a 23-year-old woman who had earlier levelled charges of rape and sexual harassment against Nithyananda to identify herself and denied the allegations.

He paraded about 50 highly-educated inmates, including women, of Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam before over 100 reporters, many of them from Tamil Nadu, to drive home his point: all allegations against Paramahamsa Nithyananda are false.

“Forty-five minutes,” Sacchithananda, now a full-time volunteer of the ashram in Bidadi, announced before the press conference.

The meet, however, went on for 90 minutes.“Ours is a transparent organisation and we will state facts with an open mind, fairness and professionalism,” he repeated.

High quality video
The ashram inmates expressed surprise over the quality of the video clipping, of a man, reportedly Nithyananda, in a compromising position with the actor. They felt that the whistleblower, Karuppa Lenin, previously Nithya Dharmananda, alone would not be able to carry out such a sting operation.

“It was a laser-like operation conducted with surgical precision,” Sacchithananda explained. Lenin claimed that he had used an air freshner with an embedded camera and a satellite communication device.

Sacchithananda felt that a “dissatisfied individual”, who had not completed his 12 standard, could not come up with a “highly-specialised feed.” “It is definitely done with the help of someone with sound technical knowledge,” he said.

When asked if it was the swami seen in the clip, Sacchithananda said he would not speculate: “We cannot state anything beyond the truth. We do not know about it and cannot say anything positive or negative. We will not speculate.”

Actor no brahmacharini
The ashram authorities clarified that the actor, suspected to be Ranjitha, was neither a brahmacharini nor an inmate of the ashram. “She had attended a programme seven months ago. But, she is not a brahmacharini. We do not know if it was she who was seen in the video. We also don’t know whether she had attempted suicide or if she was also part of the conspiracy,” Sacchidananda said. The ashram claimed that they were not in touch with her and “she was unavailable for comment”.

Inmates saw it coming
Some of the ashram inmates were aware of the video at least two weeks before it was aired. “A few brahmacharis and brahmacharinis had received clippings as well as blog posts by e-mail,” Sacchithananda said. He did not, however, reveal who had sent the clippings and posts. “I came to know about this only after it was televised,” he said.

Sacchithananda said that a few police officers and politicians in Chennai had received the CD about two hours before the video containing the “alleged sexual activity” between the swami and the actor was aired on March 2.

The ashram said that Nithyananda’s life was in danger and hence he was not making a public appearance. “We advised him to wait for some more days. He will answer all questions and make a detailed disclosure in two-three days,” Sacchithananda said. The swami was attending the Kumbh Mela in Varanasi, he reiterated.
Though the ashram was attacked following the expose, the authorities were yet to lodge a police complaint.

Rape allegations false
Sacchithananda denied that Nithyananda had raped a 23-year-old brahmacharini at the ashram, terming the allegation as unsubstantiated and false. “Who is this woman? Is she speaking the truth? Why doesn’t she have the courage to come out and speak to the world?,” he asked.

Sri Nithya Sacchithananda, once a chemical engineer with global exposure, on Monday denied any unholy chemistry between his guru-in-hiding and a Tamil actor, almost a week after a TV channel had aired the clippings.

Swami stops operation

Swami stops operation
By K. KASTURI DEWI

kasturidewi@thestar.com.my

GEORGE TOWN: A centre in Kuala Lumpur which promotes the teachings of Indian spiritual guru Swami Paramahamsa Nithyananda who is involved in a sex scandal has ceased operations until “the truth is revealed”.

The centre’s spokesman said it had been flooded with calls from followers since the Swami’s alleged involvement in the scandal broke out.

“We made the decision to stop operations for a while following advice from the Malaysia Hindu Sangam,” he said when contacted here yesterday.

Nithyananda landed in trouble following the telecast of video footage by a television channel in India showing him in a compromising position with a Tamil actress.

The spokesman said the ashram in Taman Desa Gombak was the only centre in the country to promote the teachings of Nithyananda. It was set up two years ago.

He said devotees, who learnt about healing the sick and tapping into their inner strength for peace of mind, provided services from their homes.

“We do not have the exact number of devotees in Malaysia or healing centres. I believe there are about 400 healers in the country,” he said.

Bank clerk N. Thirunavukkarasu, 45, said he has been Nithyananda’s follower for the past three years.

“I was shocked to see the footage. I do not believe that the Swami would have done some­thing like that.

“Ever since I became a follower of his teachings, I have experienced a lot of positive changes in my life,” he said, adding that he met Nithyananda during the latter’s visits to Malaysia in 2008 and 2009.

Another follower who only wished to be known as Kumar, in his 30s, said he was disappointed that Tamil dailies here only published one-sided reports against Nithyananda.

“One day they are full of praises for him and next they just put him down,” he said, adding that he believes the footage could have been doctored.

KUALA LUMPUR: A religious centre here which promotes the teachings of tainted Indian spiritual guru Swami Paramahamsa Nithyananda, who is allegedly involved in a sex scandal, has ceased its operations.

"We made the decision to stop operations for a while following advice from the Malaysia Hindu Sangam," the centre's spokesman was quoted in the local media as saying after the centre was flooded with calls from followers since the guru's alleged involvement in the scandal broke out in India.

Nithyananda landed in trouble following the telecast of video footage by a South Indian television channel allegedly showing him in a compromising position with a Tamil actress.

The spokesman said the ashram, set up two years ago, in Taman Desa Gombak was the only centre in Malaysia to promote the teachings of Nithyananda.

"We do not have the exact number of devotees in Malaysia or healing centres. I believe there are about 400 healers in the country," the local Star newspaper quoted him as saying.

Chennai police has registered a rape and cheating case against Nityananda after video footage of his alleged sleazy acts were telecast by TV channels.

Nityananda's ashram in India has said that he would make a public appearance soon and answer all allegations.

It's my offering to Swamiji: Ranjitha Tuesday, March 9, 2010,

http://entertainment.oneindia.in/tamil/exclusive/2010/ranjitha-offering-swamiji-090310.html


Ranjitha, the latest and hottest sensation of the 'Nithyananda sex scam season' says that there was nothing wrong in her action with Nithyananda in his bedroom that exposed recently in Channels. According to the actress, it was 'her offer and service to her beloved Swamiji' and nothing to feel guilty! She also mentioned that Nithyananda cured her prolonged wheezing trouble in a single day!

Buzz up!
In her telephonic interview to a bi weekly, the actress says, "Media unnecessarily blow the issue. I know Swamiji for past few years and my association with him is transparent. As a true devotee I offered my service like feeding food and massaging him regularly in his personal room. I used to stay with him during late hours but the inmates of the ashram also know this..."


It is mentionable that the actress never denies her presence in the sex video CD and even accepted that she was with Swamiji many such occasions. But she strongly denied that she is not trying to cash the sex video shot by Nithyananda's onetime associate Lenin Karuppan. "I know my Swamiji.. He is a great Athma and will come as a pure Athma soon...", she added further

I will come out with truth soon: Nithyananda

I will come out with truth soon: Nithyananda
March 7th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in News

Mar 8, 2010: A CD with a recording of Nithyananda speaking was issued to media houses by the godman’s attorney M Shreedhar on Sunday in which the ‘Swami’ claimed he is collecting facts to prove that the allegations and rumours about him were false and he will come out with the truth very soon.

“The video clips that appeared on television channels are fake and it was the work of miscreants who wanted to defame me and my establishment,” Nithyananda said and added: “We are in the process of collecting evidence on the persons behind the false video footage. Very soon the truth will be unearthed and I will come before the media with necessary evidence.”

Advocate Shreedhar said the video clips had been morphed and added that Swami Nithyananda was now in Varanasi attending the Kumbh Mela. “We are ready to face the case legally and will prove Swamiji’s innocence. We would apply for anticipatory bail once the FIR is filed in the court.”

On Saturday, Nithya Dharmananda alias Lenin Karuppan, former aide to Nithyananda, owned up having shot the alleged sexual acts of his former Guru and distributing the tape to the media. He appeared before Chennai Police Commissioner T Rajendran lodged a complant against Nithyananda.

He claimed he had shot the scenes of Nityananda in a compromising position with an actress and distributed the tape to the media to bring to light the ‘original face of the Swamiji.” He alleged that Nithyananda sexually exploited devotees.

Nithyananda claimed that he had done nothing illegal

Self-styled Godman Swami Nithyananda, who was in an eye of storm after having been caught in camera in a compromising position with a Tamil film actress, today claimed that he had done nothing illegal, even as special teams fanned out to several states to find the whereabouts of the Swamiji.
NITHYANANDA
Speaking in a VCD, sent through his lawyer, the Godman, without going into the specifics of the controversy surrounding his sleazy acts, said neither he nor the Ashram run by him had committed any wrong doing.

”Neither I nor the Ashram had done anything illegal,” he said, speaking in Tamil in the CD, without confirming or denying his sleazy acts.

The VCDs, sent by the Godman from an undislcosed destination, to the Ashram lawyer, were circulated to a section of the media today.

The contents of the speech were telecast by a private Tamil Satellite Channel which had beamed the pictures of the Godman with the actress.

He said he was in the process of collecting details and truth with regard to the charges and allegations levelled against him.

Observing that he would face them legally, the Godman said he would soon place the entire truth before the public after collecting all necessary details and evidence.

The Godman’s statement comes a day after his former aide Nithya Dharmananda alias Lenin Karuppan, owned up having shot the sexual acts of his former Guru and distributed them to the media. He had claimed that he had shot the scenes of Nityananda in a compromising position with the actress with the help of the Ashram inmates in Bangalore and distributed the tape to the media to save the lives of young women devotees.

The former aide listed a slew of complaints against the ”Spiritual Guru” and alleged that Swami Nityananda, claiming himself as an ‘Avtar’ of Lord Krishna, had sexually exploited the women devotees, describing them as Gopikas.
Nithyananda
The disciple of the Godman also alleged in his complaint that the the Swamiji and his supporters also threatened to eliminate him and he managed to escape from their clutches and reach Chennai.

Based on a complaint from Lenin, police have slapped six cases against the Godman, including cheating, criminal intimidation, sexual abuse, conspiracy, and for hurting the sentiments of Hindus.

Even as Chennai City Police Commissioner T Rajendran yesterday said all the cases pertaining to the Godman would be transferred to Bengaluru since the entire incident had taken place at the Ashram at Bidadi, three special teams formed to trace his whereabouts fanned to Bangalore, Coimbatore and Palakkad. Acting on reports that the Swamiji was reportedly staying in his Ashram in Palakkad, a team had been sent there to confirm the veracity of the reports, though the Ashram officials maintained that the Godman was participating in Khumbh Mela in North India.

Police sources said of the six cases registered against the Godman, five cases would be transferred to Bengaluru and the one pertaining to holding out murder threat to his former disciple Nithya Dharmananda, for filming the sleazy acts, would be probed by the City police.

After the probe, a report would be sent to the Bangalore police for further action.

The guru will supposedly make a public clarification regarding the same soon. The Dhyanapeetam authorities believe that there is a hidden agenda behind these sex allegations against Swami.

Dhyanapeetam’s spokesperson Nithya Sachidananda said, “There is a threat to the Swamiji’s life and he has been receiving threatening calls”.

He further added, “We are contemplating legal action against those responsible for tarnishing the image of Swami Nithyananda and the ashram.”

Swamiji’s driver Nithya Dharmananda alias Lenin handed over a sex tape or CD to the senior officials.

However, according to Mr. Sachidananda, Lenin did not know how to use hidden cameras. “We suspect the episode to be the handiwork of several people,” he said.

A Hindu holy man in India has denied any wrongdoing, days after video emerged apparently showing him engaging in sexual acts with two women.

A spokesman for Nithyananda Swami said he was at the Kumbh Mela festival and would soon "clear the air".

In a video released on Sunday, the guru said he had done nothing illegal and the scandal was "a false campaign".

His ashram near the southern city of Bangalore was vandalised last week after TV channels broadcast the video.

'Nothing illegal'

In a message on his official website on Sunday, the guru asked his followers to remain calm and patient.

"I assure all of you that nothing illegal has been done by me or my organisation. We are in the process of collecting evidence to establish this lie and the motive behind this false campaign," he said.

Swamiji, as he is known to his followers, said he would soon provide an explanation and answer all their queries.

"There is total transparency at the ashram and all allegations of illegal activity are baseless and motivated," ashram spokesman Satichandananda told a press conference on Monday.

Meanwhile, cases have been filed against the holy man in the southern city of Madras (Chennai) for "outraging the people's religious sentiments".

The guru's followers allege the video was created and distributed by a jealous resident of the ashram in a bid to defame him.

Last week the ashram called the footage "a mix of conspiracy, graphics and rumours".

Nithyananda Swami has a huge following in southern India and the video shocked his devotees and angered locals.

Bangalore: Swami Paramahamsa Nithyananda, who is in the eye of a controversy after video clippings allegedly showing him and a Tamil actress in compromising positions were aired on TV channels, made a sudden appearance, on the web though, and protested his innocence, claiming that he and his organisations had done “nothing illegal”.

The godman, who the Tamil Nadu and Karnataka police said was absconding, appealed to “one and all” not to come to any conclusion based on the allegations made against him.
In his video statement, posted on his website http://dhyanapeetam.org on Sunday morning, Swami Nithyananda invoked the blessings of Lord Shiva and said: “Dear one and all, there have been many allegations against me and my organisations in the recent days. But, at the same time, I have received a flood of supporting emails, testimonials and letters from devotees and well wishers from all over the world, who have benefited from my teachings, over the years. They were all shocked to hear these allegations.”

“I want to assure you all that nothing illegal has been done by me or my organisations. We are in the process of collecting evidence to establish the falsity and motive of this campaign against me. I will address all the allegations and issue a detailed explanation. Meanwhile, I urge everyone not to rush to any judgment before all the facts have been put on the table and carefully examined.

Please wait for a few days till we collect all the facts and information and clearly present them to you. I thank all the devotees for their overwhelming support and standing with me in these challenging times. Thank you. Thank you all,” the swami said.

The swami’s followers have claimed that he was away in Haridwar attending the Kumbh Mela.

On March 2, Sun TV had aired video footage of the godman with a Tamil actress in compromising positions. Following this, his ashrams across Tamil Nadu and the one in Bidadi in Ramanagaram district near here were attacked by people.

Acting on a complaint filed by a group of lawyers, the Chennai police registered a case against the swami accusing him of betraying public trust.

என்ன இது... யாரைப் பற்றி இவ்வளவு புளகாங்கிதப்பட்டு புல்லரித்துள்ளார்கள் சினிமாக்காரர்கள் என்ற கேள்வி எழுகிறதா...

வேறு யார்.. நித்யானந்தாவைப் பற்றித்தான் இப்படி இமாலய ரேஞ்சுக்கு புகழ்ந்து தள்ளியிருக்கிறார்கள் நடிகர்கள் மற்றும் திரையுலகப் பிரமுகர்கள்.

சில ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன் நித்யானந்தர் எழுதிய 'ஜீவன் முக்தி' என்ற புத்தக வெளியீடு நடந்தது. ஏதோ எல்ஐசி பாலிசி மாதிரி இருக்கே என்று சுலபமாக நினைத்துவிட வேண்டாம். இந்தப் புத்தகத்தின் விலை ரூ 500க்கும் மேல்!

ரொம்ப கிராண்டாக இந்த விழாவை ஏற்பாடு செய்திருந்தனர் நித்யானந்தாவின் தியான பீடத்தினர். இந்த விழாவில் ஆன்மீக உலகைச் சேர்ந்தவர்கள் பங்கேற்கவில்லை. ஆனால் சினிமாக்காரர்கள்தான் திரளாகக் கலந்து கொண்டனர்.

புத்தகத்தை வெளியிட்டதே நடிகர் சங்கத் தலைவர் சரத் குமார்தான்.

இவரைத் தவிர எஸ்ஏ சந்திரசேகரன், நடிகர்கள் விவேக், பார்த்திபன், இயக்குநர் பாலுமகேந்திரா, நடிகை மனோரமா என பெரும் திரளானோர் கலந்து கொண்டனர்.

சாம்பிளுக்கு சிலரது பேச்சுகள்:

எஸ்ஏ சந்திரசசேகரன்...

"இந்துக்களுக்கு கீதை, முஸ்லிம்களுக்கு குரான், கிறிஸ்தவர்களுக்கு பைபிள்... ஆனால் மனித குலத்துக்கே புனித நூல் இந்த ஜீவன் முக்தி!"

விவேக்...

"30 வயதில் கலைஞர் பராசக்தி படத்துக்கு வசனம் எழுதினார். ஆனால் இங்கே பராசக்தியே (நித்யானந்தா!!) 30 புத்தகங்களை எழுதியிருக்கிறது...

கதவைத் திறந்த வச்சா திருடன் வந்துடறான், ஜன்னலைத் திறந்து வச்சா பீரோ புல்லிங்... ஆனால் மனசைத் திறடா மகிழ்ச்சி பொங்கும்னு சொன்னாரே என் தலைவன் (நித்யானந்தன்)... அதற்கு இணையான எளிய தத்துவத்தை யாராவது சொல்ல முடியுமா... வாழ்க்கையின் தத்துவங்களை டிசைன் டிசைனா சொல்லியிருக்கும் அரிய பொக்கிஷம் இந்தப் புத்தகம்...."

பார்த்திபன்...

"மனித குலத்துக்கே ஒளிதரும் அரிய ஆன்மீகப் பேரொளி... இந்தப் புத்தகத்தில் இல்லாத விஷயங்களே இல்லை... இந்த ஒரு புத்தகம் வாங்கினால் போதும், ஒரு லைப்ரரியே நம் வீட்டுக்குள் வந்த மாதிரி..."

சரத்குமார்...

"மனிதகுலத்தின் மிகச் சிறந்த குரு நித்யானந்தர்..."

-மேலே நீங்கள் படித்தவை சாம்பிள்கள்தான். அந்த வீடியோவைப் பாருங்கள்.. விதவிதமாகப் புகழ்வது எப்படி என்று புத்தகம் போடுமளவுக்கு சினிமாக்காரர்கள் புகழ்ந்து தள்ளியிருக்கிறார்கள் நித்யானந்தரை!

நித்யானந்தா சாமியாரைச் சந்தித்து ஆசி பெறவிருந்தார் விஜய் என்றும் அதற்கு முன்பாகவே அவரது காம லீலைகள் அம்பலத்துக்கு வந்ததில் தப்பி விட்டார் என்றும் கூறப்படுகிறது.

நித்யானந்தா பற்றி விஜய்யிடம் நிறைய பில்ட் அப் கொடுத்தவர் ரஞ்சிதாதானாம். வில்லு படத்தில் விஜய்யின் ஜோடிகளில் ஒருவராக நடித்தவர் ரஞ்சிதா (சீனியர் விஜய்க்கு மனைவி... ஜூனியர் விஜய்க்கு அம்மா!).

இதைத் தொடர்ந்து நித்யானந்தாவை சந்திக்க ஆவலாக இருந்தார் விஜய். அதற்கு முன்னோட்டமாக தனது தந்தை எஸ்ஏ சந்திரசேகரன் மற்றும் தாய் ஷோபாவை திருவண்ணாமலைக்கு அனுப்பி சாமியாரிடம் ஆசி பெற்று வரச் சொன்னாராம். இதுபற்றிய செய்திகள் கடந்த வாரம் வெளியானது நினைவிருக்கலாம்.

விஜய்யின் பெற்றோர் நித்யானந்தனை அவரது திருவண்ணாமலை ஆசிரமத்தில் சந்தித்த போது விஜய் வந்து பார்க்கவும் அப்பாயின்ட்மென்ட் வாங்கியிருந்தனராம்.

அதற்குள் நித்தி-ரஞ்சிதா காம வீடியோ வெளியாகிவிட, அதிர்ந்து போனாராம் விஜய். நல்லவேளை தப்பினேன் என்று கூறி வருகிறாராம்.

நடிகை ரஞ்சிதாவுடன் உல்லாசமாக இருந்த வீடியோக் காட்சிகளால் நாறிப்போயுள்ள சுவாமி நித்தியானந்தாவின் தன்னிலை விளக்க வீடியோ அறிக்கையை அவரது வழக்குரைஞர் ஸ்ரீதர் நேற்று செய்தியாளார்களிடம் வெளியிட்டார். நித்தியானந்தாவின் தியானபீடம் இணைய தளத்திலும் இது வெளியிடப்பட்டது.

நித்யானந்தா சுவாமிகள் எங்கிருந்து இந்த வீடியோ கேசட்டை அனுப்பினார் என்ற விவரங்களை தெரிவிக்க முடியாது. அதுபற்றி சொன்னால் போலீசார் அவரைக் கைது செய்து விடுவார்கள் என்பது எங்களுக்கு தெரியும்.அவர் சட்டரீதியிலான பாதுகாப்புடன் தான் இனி வெளியே வருவார்.

நித்தியானந்தா கேரளாவில் இருக்கிறாரா? என்பது பற்றி சொல்ல முடியாது. கடைசியாக கும்பமேளா திருவிழாவில் கலந்து கொண்டார். தன்னுடைய அதிகாரபூர்வ இமெயில் முகவரிக்கு தனது விளக்கம் அடங்கிய வீடியோ காட்சியை அனுப்பி உள்ளார். அதைத்தான் நான் கொடுத்து உள்ளேன். அவர் தன்னுடைய குரு பாபுஜியுடன்தான் இருக்கிறார் என்றார் ஸ்ரீதர்.

Nithyananda's mission on a mission to save image Monday, March 8, 2010,9:40 [IST]

http://news.oneindia.in/2010/03/08/swami-nithyananda-sex-scandal-dyanapeeta-ashram.html

Bangalore, Mar 8: In a desperate bid to save the image of scandal-tainted Swami Nithyananda, the spiritual guru's mission Dyanapeeta has called for a press conference on Monday, Mar 8 scheduled to held at 1:30 pm in the Bidadi ashram.

Buzz up!
International co-ordinator and spokesperson, Swami Nitya Sachithananda, along with other senior swamijis including Sri Nitya Gnanananda Mahacharya, and Nitya Prananda will be addressing the conference to clarify facts in the wake of the recent sex scandal involving Swami Nithyananda.


They are expected to disclose true facts as against the alleged conspiracy hatched against the mission in an attempt to defame the spiritual leader.

A sex tape showing Swami Nithyananda in a compromising position with Tamil actress surfaced last week on Mar 2 sullying the man's image and enraging his followers leading to widespread protests against him.

The Swami, whose whereabouts are still unknown, also faces cheating cases for outraging the religious sentimentsweight:bold;">

Ranjitha, Karuppa trapped Nithyananda? Monday, March 8, 2010, 17:18

http://entertainment.oneindia.in/tamil/exclusive/2010/ranjitha-lenin-trap-nithyananda-080310.html

Ranjitha, who recently got alleged with Swami Nithyananda in a sex scandal, is said to have attempted for a suicide. The scandal video was aired by the popular Tamil channel Sun TV on March 2. No news of either of the two was known thereafter. People were so angry and desperate that they attacked the ashrams of Swamiji.

Buzz up!
Ranjitha was a devotee to Swamiji. She was a divorcee to an army man and visited Nithyananda after suffering from depression due to the marriage failure. Later she became too close to Nithyananda that she made her presence all the time in the ashram. Buzz is also that the video was created by Ranjitha herself to blackmail Nithyananda. She wanted a married life with Nithyananda and is said that this possessiveness made her to trap Nithyananda.


Ranjitha was introduced to him three years back by actress K R Vijaya's niece Sudha, a full-time devotee. Later on Swami's charm made her fall for him and she even decided to shift base from Chennai to Bangalore. After getting intimate with Swami, she is said to have asked him to marry her and even got a positive response. Later he was worried about the property worth several hundred crore rupees that he would have to give up. Lenin Karuppa also attempted to blackmail Swamiji but he failed. So it is said that both have planned together to trap Swami Nithyananda.

By the time Nithyananda's lawyer confirmed that Nithyananda is in Varanasi attending Kumbha Mela with his 4000 devotees. He is to return back on March 18. He also claimed that the woman in the video has covered her neck and that Nithyananda's face is a morphed one.

The latest news regarding the issue is the press conference made by the spokesman of Swami Nithyananda. He said that all that is talked about is mere speculation and that Nithyananda wants to come to light to speak on the issue. But due to security reasons he is not coming up and that Swamiji will soon come to reveal all the doubts pending.

Nityananda addresses public through VCD

http://www.chitramala.com/news/nityananda-addresses-public-through-vcd-119001.html


“I have not committed any crime,” Swami Nithyananda claimed on Sunday, in his first public response to the video CD showing him in a compromising position with an actress.

Addressing his devotees in a five-minute VCD, copies of which were distributed to the media by his lawyer here, the Swami alleged that calumnies and rumours were being spread against him and the ‘Gnanapeetam’.

“While I am receiving email, phone calls and letters from devotees and friends, expressing their support and affection, I can see that they are worried and concerned,” he said.

Beginning his speech with an incantation, the swami - who was in his trademark ochre robe and turban - claimed that neither he nor the ‘Gnanapeetam’ had committed any crime.

Nityananda said he and his associates were in the process of gathering all information about the charges and rumours, the motive and mindset that were operating them and the actual facts.

Appealing to his devotees to remain calm and patient, he said he would soon come out with explanation and answers to all their queries. He asked them not to draw any hasty conclusions from the rumours and reiterated that he would open his heart to them in a few days.

The swami’s short speech, rendered in Tamil, did not make any mention of the sex video CD, aired by a Tamil channel, which caused a furore in the state and neighbouring Karnataka and triggered violent protests.

Guru indian haituit de discipoli

Un numar de 9 persoane au fost arestate in Bangalore, India, dupa ce au vandalizat ashramul unui respectat guru din regiune. Scandalul a pornit dupa ce mai multe canale de televiziune indiene au prezentat imagini filmate cu camera ascunsa, in care personajul care se bucura de reputatia unui om sfant, era angajat in relatii sexuale cu mai multe femei. Imaginile care au declansat dezastrul pentru Swami Nithyananda, il aratau pe barbatul de 32 de ani surprins in altarul asharamului in timpul unor relatii sexuale cu doua discipole. In ziua urmatoare, multimea furioasa a atacat si distrus partial asezamantul situat in apropierea orasului Bangalore din statul indian Karnataka. Reprezentantii asezamantului spiritual Nithyananda Mission au declarat ca filmarile sunt nimic altceva decat "un amestec de conspiratii, zvonuri si barfe", scrie Descopera.

நித்தியானந்தா கும்பமேளாவில் உள்ளார்-ஆசிரம நிர்வாகிகள் திங்கள்கிழமை, மார்ச் 8, 2010, 14:59[IST]

பெங்களூர்: நடிகை ரஞ்சிதா- நித்தியானந்தா வீடியோ விவகாரம் குறித்து இரண்டொரு நாட்களில் முழுமையான விளக்கத்தை தருவோம் என பெங்களூரில் உள்ள பிடாதி நித்தியானந்த தியான பீட நிர்வாகிகள் தெரிவித்துள்ளனர்.

நித்தியானந்தா விரைவில் பக்தர்கள் முன் உண்மைகளை விளக்குவார் என்றும் அவர்கள் கூறினர்.

நடிகை ரஞ்சிதாவுடன் சாமியார் நித்தியானந்தா படுக்கை அறையில் சல்லாபம் செய்த வீடியோ கடந்த வாரம் வெளியாகி பெரும் பரபரப்பை ஏற்படுத்தியது.

இதைத் தொடர்ந்து ஆசிரமத்தைச் சேர்ந்த பிரேமானந்தா என்ற லெனின் சென்னை போலீசாரிடம் மேலும் பல்வேறு வீடியோக்கள் மற்றும் புகார்களை அளித்தார்.

இந்நிலையில், கடந்த ஒரு வாரமாக மாயமாக இருந்த சாமியார் நித்தியானந்தா, நேற்று திடீரென ஒரு தன்னிலை விளக்க வீடியோவை வக்கீல் மூலமாக வெளியிட்டார்.

தான் சட்டத்துக்கு புறம்பாக எந்த காரியத்திலும் ஈடுபடவில்லை என நித்தியானந்தா வீடியோவில் கூறியிருந்தார். ஆனால், ரஞ்சிதா பற்றியோ செக்ஸ் குற்றச்சாட்டு குறித்தோ அவர் எதையும் குறிப்பிடவில்லை.

இந்நிலையில், பெங்களூர் அருகே பிடுதியில் உள்ள நித்தியானந்தா தியான பீடத்தின் மூத்த நிர்வாகி நித்ய சச்சிதானந்தா உள்ளிட்ட ஆஸ்ரம பொறுப்பாளர்கள் இன்று நிருபர்களை சந்தித்தனர்.

நித்தியானந்தா தற்போது உத்தரப்பிரதேசத்தில் கும்பமேளா நிகழ்ச்சியில் பங்கேற்றுள்ளதாகவும், அடுத்த இரண்டொரு நாட்களில் மக்கள் முன் உண்மைகளை விளக்குவார் என்றும் சச்சிதானந்தா தெரிவித்தார்.

ஆனால், ரஞ்சிதா-நித்தியானந்தா வீடியோ குறித்து எந்த கருத்தையும் அவர் தெரிவிக்க மறுத்துவிட்டார்.

நிருபர்களின் பல்வேறு கேள்விகளுக்கு சச்சிதானந்தா பதில் அளிக்கையில்,

நித்தியானந்தா மீது குற்றச்சாட்டுகளை கூறும் லெலினுக்கு ஆஸ்ரமத்தின் அனைத்து மூத்த நிர்வாகிகளையும் தெரியும். அவர்களின் மின் அஞ்சல் போன்ற அத்தனை தொடர்பு வழிகளும் தெரியும்.

வீடியோ கேமரா, சாட்டிலைட் சேனல் மற்றும் கிராபிக்ஸ் தொழில்நுட்பம் ஆகியவற்றுடன் தொடர்புடைய இந்த குற்றச்சாட்டு குறித்து நாங்கள் எந்த வித முடிவுக்கும் வர முடியாது.

இந்த புகாரை ஆதரித்தோ அல்லது எதிர்த்தோ நாங்கள் சிந்திக்க முடியாது. தற்போது கும்பமேளாவில் உள்ள நித்தியானந்தா, இரண்டொரு நாட்களில் வந்த பின்னர் இவை அனைத்துக்கும் விடை கிடைக்கும்.

மேலும், தியான பீடத்திற்கான இடம் ஆக்கிரமிக்கப்பட்டதாக கூறப்படும் குற்றச்சாட்டில் எந்த அடிப்படையும் இல்லை. அனைத்து ஆவணங்களும் சட்டப்படி உள்ளன என்றார்
