Look Ma! We've made Boing Boing! Again! And again! Once again! Yet again! And once again!
.... I try to poop *in* the toilet, not *on* it.While we understand that gurus are held sacred by many, they are also public figures deserving of scrutiny. Our primary aim is to inject a little humor into what can be an excessively self-righteous enterprise, and to illustrate the primary truth that no matter how divine their devotees believe them to be, gurus poop on the same pot we do.

I have nothing but admiration & compassion for Ranjita. For risking herself to this extent in exposing the charlatan. Considering she has no clout like say an Aishwarya.
Indians live in denial about the existence of casting couch.
She is the daughter of an Army Officer.Married an Armyman & settled down in Chennai. Due to some personal problems ( we all have don't we) was counselled by many to approach this Nithy with a manufactured halo. She went with her husband but got lured inside by Nithy for "private energy transmission". And the rest is history as the cliche goes.
He has a lot more actresses under his spell. Someone I know personalluy also lost his wife (to Nithy) with his son committing suicide in the ashram. They went believing him to be God incarnate.
Who do you turn to redressal in this lawless chaotic India? Why blame the hapless victims repeatedly ? When do we hold the perpetrators guilty instead of condoning & accepting all injustices as one's inevitable karma??
Well, can't blame him. Krishna had his gopis.
Here's a little tale i managed to dig out on Lord Siva:
Vishnu could not desist Shiva from that desire, so he had to take the guise of beautiful lady. Shiva became so enchanted to see the splendor of the beauty that he became excited and the fire of lust kindled in his heart. Shiva started running after the guise of a beautiful lady. Shree Shiva who had slain Kamdeo and got famous as Kamari got mad. Shree Vishnu anticipated the situation and discarded the guise and went away, became invisible. Shree Shiva was so excited that he got annoyed and in the anger ejected the semen.
Seems like Sri Nith (who claims to be an incarnation of Lord Siva) hasn't lost his touch.
Sri Nithyananda, Sir, if you can liberate us all soon, i don't mind if you "boink" a few of us in the process. This is an illusion, after all (hint, hint). A few divine molestations can be overlooked in the larger interest of global enlightenment.
We always knew that Gurus "poop on the same pot we do" but didn;t know you nail the same asses too. :-D
Humbly Yours.
Though India cries hoarse self congratulatorily it is a great democracy competing with America etc etc, we the people know how outrageously corrupt & criminalised India is.
Narrating the following ( FIRs registered)reported in a regional newspaper. Judge for yourself:-
" Asokan belonging to Salem had land worth one crore rupees but was involved in a legal dispute. Someone asked him to contact Nithy , that by financing puja done by N , his case would be won. Asokan says " I was asked to furnish all details , documents pertaining to my land in writing to N along with one lakh for puja. They told me in words, if I lost my money would be refunded. I lost my case. But have not got my refund ".
A retired Tamil teacher called Idumban of a village in Trichy says " Due to some chronic ailments I was asked by a local siddha doctor cum devotee of N to join his workshops. N asked me to admit my only son Surendar who had finished catering technology to enrol in his allegedly free college in Bangalore. He coaxed me to sell my land worth ten lakhs for four lakhs (paid by one of his devotees called dhanushkoti living in America) for setting up another ashram. When I was forced to solicit huge amounts of funds citing darshan of Nithy , charities to ward off negative karma etc I realised he is just an unscrupulous businessman in ochre robes....I tried desperately to contact my son in Bangalore but was prevented by his henchmen. They told me my son Surendar has become swami nithyaprabananda & that he no longer wants to see me. I want my son back..."
Hindus contention seems to be - wear saffron robes or shimmering white like SSRavishankar , carry on your unethical exploits calling yourself a non profit NGO. To counterbalance make forays into organic farming , free meals , siddha/ayurvedic healing , hospitals building. If anyone objects cry wolf screaming indooism is under threat.
I have nothing but admiration & compassion for Ranjita. For risking herself to this extent in exposing the charlatan.

Bullshit Indeed !
Not just Ranjita but many women would want to sleep this dude and probably slept too. Ranji is not part of the sting op but only a victim. The cheeky video is by a inmate who obviously knew what was happening there but wanted some "solid" proof. But WTF ? Cant the swami have some good time himself with someone he liked ? This was a mutually agreed tango and I am surprised even Jody wants to make some news out of this. I was with jody as long as he was pointing at nithy for playing more diving than the rest of us. But now Nithy only showed he is no more divine than rest of us. Why cant we appreciate it than to accuse him?
Please tell me, anyone is there a code of conduct for sanyasis regarding sexual life? What about Adi Shankara experiencing the pleasures for a two month long time just for the heck of it?
Cmon Jody dont disappoint me.
Based on the story recently published about ranjitha, she has been doing lots of volunteer work following her initiation in to the group and worked like any follower or devotee even to the extent of sleeping only 1 or 2 hours at times and eventually involved in cleaning nithys room and rest is history.
Going by this background you can easily relate that she would have gone through a brainwash over a course of time with this organization.
Can some nithy followers and ashramites share more about this?
don't some of you got physically drained even though it may not necessarily be sex related like long hours of hardship in ashrams dreaming about your guru as the almight, sleep deprivation..
Actually I liked her as an actress even though she could never make it to the first level.
Dear Jody,
now that the truth about scamming swami-pimps is kind of hard to ignore, it would be a HUGE service if you would focus your laser eyes on the burgeoning "satsang movement" in Europe and the USA. Somebody has got to do it. So many refugees from various gurus are now holding satsang, luring folks in, charging high fees and giving half-assed "teachings". In my opinion, this is where a little close inspection would prevent alot of suffering...more dupes, more false teachings, more "awakened ones" with nice houses, cars, face lifts and, hey, "they aren't even there".
Amazing how many "disciples" Ramana and Nisardadatta had...not.
older but wiser
Every woman folk I knew are in support of him. They think whats the big deal? I just happened to see his FACEBOOK entries where you can read the females still vouch for their trust in him. Just the males who are jealous..
"rabid fan"?
Jody, you horny old man, you need to get laid. Fast.
You should have consulted Rajasekharan for tips before his empire collapsed :D
And oh... she was but ONE "girlfriend". There's at least a half dozen more (at least), mostly ashram women.
There are many hindus , even smug IITians like the anonymous screaming " so what ? can't a sanyasi have sex is there a code of conduct blahblah..". One such blogger even writes " at least he did not kill her..only had sex ..". Not a single outraged comment from fellow sycophants at such warped thinking. Such is the erosion of our standards.
I am shocked. YES indeed. There is a code of conduct for sanyasis. Ask Sri Omkarananda , Sri Paramarthananda who are well versed in these matters.
However the current ground realities are deplorable. In Rishikesh for a certain amount of money you can procure a saffron robe & rest of accoutrements , parade as a mock sanyasi , smoke drugs etc. That does not mean they stand absolved.
Why should Ranjita be badmouthed ? We all know the price one has to pay for getting a foothold in film industry. She never sat on a pedastal calling herself an enlightened avatar , a mass of energy , a messiah , low prana high prana , stealing others money.
Whereas nithyanandas , jaggi vasudevs , ssrs etc do precisely that.
When tehelka exposed the bjp hindutvavadis called it a conspiracy. We are so willing to shrug , accept & apotheosize rapists & thugs. So we have no right to cry indooism is in danger. Why give every crime a communal colour ?
Ranji is not part of the sting op but only a victim. The cheeky video is by a inmate who obviously knew what was happening there but wanted some "solid" proof.
You're kiddin', right? Haven't you noticed that she is fully clothed for the entire duration of the video, and is making ALL the moves, while he just mostly lays there passively and disinterestedly?
And she also stops him from turning off the lights.
I'm not suggesting that he didn't bang her, they obviously are very comfortable together, but it's obvious he was set up.
Mind you, she slowly gained his trust; she was involved in organizing the shooting a purported film or documentary on him, and had unrestricted access to him.
She betrayed his trust, plain and simple. Well, he deserved it, but she's no angel.
Many Indian film industry women are notoriously slutty, and I'm not being judgmental here, and will do anything if the money is right.
Or perhaps Ranjitha grew jealous that he was banging other women. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
I suspect political motivation behind this operation, especially considering Karunanidhi is closely connected with Sun TV (ownership) and they interviewed him soon after this broke. The AIADMK political party has a well known atheistic agenda. Doesn't it strike you as strange, how fast the judicial process was mobilized by the Govt.? The govt. is notoriously lazy otherwise.
In no way am I suggesting Nithy is innocent, he had this coming. But I suspect there's a lot going on behind the scenes that the public isn't even aware of.
Those digging out tales from Puranas to justify nithys & ssrs.
A pithy statement like control of one's senses would make sense to only the mature. Hence such elaborate stories symbolically represented by Lord Indra sending Menaka to blight someone's tapas etc are told.
Yayati who pined for a protracted life only to enjoy sensual pleasures & the wisdom he gains at the end of it. A Nachiketas who spurns outright all tempting boons at a very young age...all such stories abound so that we gather grapes of wisdom. Without going through all the futile motions.
What Jesus Christ says in Parable of the Sower is so eternally true !!
There is another actress called Tara who rues all the voluntary seva she did for this scoundrel nithyananda.
About the much abused word satsang. It does not mean joining a group , swaying to some music or mass hugging.
Ramana Bhagavan clarifies. Sat is our very being , our existence. You cannot disown or need confirmation from another person about your eternal existence. So being anchored in that is satsang.
Everyone gets a taste of that in deep sleepless state called sushupti. We exist. Without any thought of our body & this world. All these superimpositions follow soon after we wake up.
No effort or sadhana is required to be what we already are. All sadhana involves "deconstructing " various acquired concepts.
CNN-IBM channel (India) just had a discussion called "Sex Sleaze and Swamis". I caught the last few minutes only, They kept flashing a pic of Nithy and one more person --- but not Kalki !!!
Hopefully this thing becomes BIG here and some awareness comes into our people.
Correction
Deep dreamless sleep not sleepless sleep
All said and done, rajasekaran(nityandna) has made more money than bill gates. What legal case can you make in India ? a few crores here and there and rajasekaran will have a new passport, a new set of starlets etc. He has centers in 33 countries - so what if one of them (india) is gone ? he still has 32 countries left.
sai baba, sri sri, kalki, mata etc are fanatically protected by politicans and will never see anything happening to them in their lifetimes
Jody, I wonder if you are aware that a bunch of westerners went Karunanidhi's son's birthday party just days before the Sun story broke out. Many of those vandalizing Nith's property are DMK followers... they are not outraged disciples of Nith
See http://richardarunachala.wordpress.com/2010/03/02/birthday-celebration-for-m-k-stalin/
Did you know that:-)
jody,with all these annon's comments,now i want to see your personal comment/reply!!!
i heard from some trustable sources in india that not only the video clip's a set up,some very powerful figures are also behind the burning incident in the ashram!
im waiting to see what happens to the other ashrams...
reply!!!
About the scuttlebutt? What is there to say?
Nithy got caught with his pants down. Sannyassis who teach celibacy and claim to be celibate must be celibate. He wasn't. That equals fraud. That's all there is to say about it.

me: "joke", pls seriously consider this request,it will,as anon put,a huge service..
My intention for this blog has always been to expose those gurus who use folk theories about enlightenment to promote themselves as being somehow more divine. Nithy was the worst violator in this regard. The various satsang teachers may or may not be qualified, but if they aren't using the idea that they are more God than anyone else, they just don't show up on my radar.
About the scuttlebutt? What is there to say?
Disingenuous deflection.
You've been more than happy to express your opinionated comments about the RSS and other political issues when it suits you, in the past.
Hi all . I am from baroda , where there was a Kalpataru session on 27th Jan . I had a good feeling after the initial one hour , but soon all the deifying , songs praising Nithyanandam , even the greeting " Nityanandam" , Bhaktananda carrying on incessently about the divinity of N , and finally the last straw - the energy darshan where healing was promised --- had me totally turned off . Call it my mental makeup or sixth sense or whatever , but N came across as a phoney .
Glad that he has been exposed.
It is amusing if not appalling to see a lot of hindus calling it all computer graphics vocally defending this absconding rajasekaran.
What about the other victims who have been consistently complaining about his embezzlement of their money , land and many of those female brahmacharinis testifying to his promiscuity?
Why has he gone into hiding , letting his footsoldiers do the media management ? Why not refund others' money , land , own up his actions ?
Some more facts reported in regional newspaper:
The man who filmed this video says he was shocked to discover this nithyananda who claimed to be enlightened messiah was an unmitigated scoundrel who not only sodomised many unwilling males but also openly fondled womenfolk calling them gopis , himself krishna.
Also that many have committed suicide & some left his ashram after seeing the violent rajasekarn unmasked. He was threatened by nithy & his footsoldiers once they came to know about this video. (incidentally he has captured on camera many more of his such energising sessions with lot more women that are with the police now)
No wonder he is absconding. It is NOT some morphed image .
No one would have bothered had he been married to one of them. That he lied & postured a celibate avatar manipulating the guileless with money & muscle power is the cause of such overwhelming anger.
See this swamiji initiation ceremony photos:
http://www.dhyanapeetam.org/web/BrahmacheryaTraining-Aug06-5.asp
Lenin AKA Nithya dharmananda is the one is supposed to have exposed swamis scandal CD. He is also suppose to have videos of swamis with other ladies. Per the article I read there are suspicions few serious lady devotees attempted suicide as well;
Watched the programme on cnn ibn.
It is like consulting al qaeda about Peace. As they have an aol representative as one of the panelists who coos exactly like SSRavishankar.
Wearisomely keeps repeating Britain/America destabilised the great indoo spiritual quotient yadayada. Cleverly dodging the crux of the problem.
Thank God for Ramana Bhagavan I shun all such pseudos in blessing business.
However in this plucky pseudogurubusting , deporting or imprisoning I have unalloyed admiration for America.
Be it rajneesh or puttaparthi baba has India or Indians taken an unequivocal stand ? They just don't have it in them.
The necessary fillip needed was provided by Jody. It took quite a long time for Indians to come out of denial mode ( youdon'tknow gurutatva indootraditions shibboleth) and come out with facts fearlessly.
Bhagavan Ramana never ever said indoos alone are the greatest. Without ever soliciting donations or charging fees for darshan , or advertising , travelling , how did HE attract people from the West like bees to nectar bearing flowers ??
His pull is perennial.
Something which has to be thought about the huge number of followers who had blindly believed him. They had spent their time and money for him.
You cannot dispute the fact that he is a crowd puller. That is what which led to his huge following. The fact that he was apt in delivering discourses brought him followers from far and wide. There was also nothing wrong with his other meditation classes.
Now, he has simply let them all down especially since he used to preach about the sanctity of brahmacharya too often. I am sure that most of them are ashamed today that they had spent their time and money on a person who couldn't stand up to his principles himself.
How about Dr. Commander Selvam Siddhar Swamiji Maharishi of Norcross/Duluth, Georgia who used to run the Hindu Temple & Community Center of Georgia, and claims many more temples all over the US. He was indicted of 2 felony counts of child molestation in Arizona in 2003, and was arrested for credit card fraud and practice of medicine without a license in 2008 and 2009. Do you know anything about him?
You've been more than happy to express your opinionated comments about the RSS
I express my opinions in context. In this particular context, Nithy has been exposed as a fraudulent sannyassi. It's cut and dried and requires little elucidation. The point isn't whether it's ok for a guru to have sex, the point is that it's not ok for a guru to say he doesn't have sex when he does.
Do you know anything about him?
http://guruphiliac.blogspot.com/2008/07/outfoxing-doctor-scami.html
But so what? We're not talking about him now, we're talking about Nithy. There is no defection from his deeds, folks. The cat is WAY out of the bag. It would be much better to withdraw the defense and let the furor die down. At this point, it's are only keeping the wound open and fresh.

Exactly correct -- it's not the deed, it's the hypocrisy, just as it is with America's "family values" politicians and their sexual shenanigans.
OK, so now it has come to light that K. Lenin, aka Nithya Dharmananda, an ashramite, planted the video camera and recorded the footage.
The Central Crime Branch police here registered a case under Section 295 (A) (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings or any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs), 376 (rape), 377 (unnatural offences), 420 (cheating), 506 (1) (criminal intimidation) and 120 (b) (criminal conspiracy).

Rajasekaran swung both ways, from insider reports I have heard. Dharmananda also alleges homosexual sex:
http://f4s.in/news/dharmanandha-claims-ashram-has-shocking-incidents-to-police/
Now that we are all fans of Ranjitha, found this video a bit hotter than the one you posted ;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXU8gJUd24U
There is news that ranjitha has attempted suicide.. should check on that
http://news.oneindia.in/2010/03/06/ranjitha-actress-swami-sex-tape-attempts-suicide.html
Nithy forbids homosexuality in his disciples. Bramacharis, swamis, and those in vanaprastha have to observe strict celibacy: No masturbation, no sex. I heard this too many times when his acharya-ashramite read the 6 Nithyananda Orders.
He also said never to judge the master, for the master's actions are beyond our comprehension! masters work in mysterious ways. Nity is a MONSTER, not master!
Anon who wrote:
He has a lot more actresses under his spell. Someone I know personalluy also lost his wife (to Nithy) with his son committing suicide in the ashram. They went believing him to be God incarnate.
Nithy committed more sins than fornicated with a married actress while pretending to be a monk!
When will this fake swami be put in jail?
Mob violence though not desirable becomes inevitable in India.
No faux sanyasi or conman can flourish without the overt & covert connivance of influential people in India. Particularly the establishment that wields power sans accountability.
Land grabbing by nithys , jaggis & ravishankars have been possible only due to lawlessness & anarchic conditions here. When things go out of control , authorities feign total ignorance.
About sexual abuses in India our attitude is egregious apathy. We have our very facile karma kaliyug theory.
We might have some charade of arrest & acquittal with the same scoundrels reappearing in another name. Everyone knew about Ravishankar & his father's financial embezzlements , about Vijaykumar's bank dacoity who resurfaced as kalki avatard.
These scamsters pontificate enormously volubly about renunciation , maya , desirelessness , celibacy yadayada.
Best path for those aiming for control of sexual urges is to marry , do it & realise oh that is it.
A Rishi had the following to say to Lord Indra who imagined what he enjoyed with his consort Indrani was simply supersensuous experience:-
" What pleasure you get is the same a dog gets by copulating with a bitch...not a whit lesser or greater...." and thus weaned Indra away from maya.
A tamil newspaper report pithily sums up:
" Ranjita was zapped by nithy's unbridled power....and nithy had his alleged brahmacharya knocked down by her physical assets ".
Ranjita is still not officially divorced from her husband. She went expecting benediction/trouble shooting by God. But got screwed.
It is nithy who is guilty certainly not Ranjita.
Ditto with SSravishankar who has also broken up many families.
Sometime back an actress called B was arrested on charges of prostitution. She broke down saying "every other person in this filmworld is doing precisely prostitution business as a means of livelihood. Why pick on me alone...". She even had photos of herself in close proximity with many of so called 'respectable' people who were her customers & pimps.
The actor called suman who drugged , raped & blackmailed many women making porn movies , the son of a principal of a college was brazenly acquitted. Recently he was feted , fawned over & garlanded by many indian women particularly orthodox hindu women abroad. Who claim they detect Lalitha Parameshwari in every female:))
Once every family was reasonably well knit with an altar where we prayed , homecooked food that was offered for consecration with traditional chantings & eaten.
Today our hard earned money , savings we trudge like idiots to offer to conmen , clean his toilets , lick his toes & sing his glories promoting his gurubusiness. People who would not offer a glass of water to their own parents or inlaws sit doing padhapuja to rapists.
This issue needs thorough scrutiny, especially since lot of people in the west have spent almost all of their hard earned money to attend his classes. The number of devotees especially westerners attending classes was growing by the year. Maybe the Los Angeles ashram too is holding many secrets.
There are no puttaparthi babasters in many Western countries.
Yet , the government & administration are streamlined enough to ensure good infrastructure , clean drinking water , unadulterated food , better quality of life than in India with its plethora of good for nothing avatards to polticians focussed on oneupmanship peddling maya & karmacola.
I find more greenery there with India getting speedily desertified to make way for ghettoised ashrams.People like me looking for good governance pray either America and/or China should crack down ruthlessly fumigating , confiscating their illgotten wealth to restore orderly governance in India.
A heavy dose of benevolent dictatorship alone would work for India.
An American Nome without raping/sodomising in lucid English explains Advaita as a Swami Omkarananda does in Tamil.
The weeds have to be ruthlessly done away with.
Apparently, the devotee who leaked the vids have sought police protection and submitted MORE VIDS for investigation.

oh well...now this...dude whatchya gonna do ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO_6GkLekWY&feature=player_embedded
I asked X who told me about SSRavishankar's non celibate status before he crowned himself a godman , what do these godmen do by playing around with genitals of males "under the underwear or over the underwear" as they coyly refer to "coiled serpent energy" being made to escape beyond escape velocity.
He told me there is some alleged nerve channel that these alleged messiahs puncture & disable allegedly so that they all lose interest in sex becoming alleged brahmacharis doing alleged seva saving this alleged world.
Somewhat akin to the barbaric female genital mutilation done by people belonging to another school of religion that I am too scared to name.
He also said this invariably leads to incurable insanity.
This is exactly why I shudder when ramdevs & ravishankars thunder stridently asking for hatha yoga & pranayama to be made compulsory for all children in the guise of "protecting indooism/sanathan dharma" . Recall pattabhi jois & his hands groping around female genitals.
The very sight of Sri Dattatreya was enough to enlighten Pingalai the courtesan. He did not grope around.
When certain rationalists asked for blanket ban on such charlatans preying upon superstitious phobias of people , hindutvavadis shouted them down telling " sentiments of hindus should be honoured ".
Has our Maker left us in the lurch to be taken care of by such quacks? In certain remote towns one can find mercenary doctors offering " 2 free surgeries if you let us do one operation on you " & only a fellow Indian would understand how these " free offers " potently fleece us the people here.
Now many hindus are supporting scoundrel nithy telling " we benefitted by his teachings & meditation techniques....hence rapes, sodomy.. are no big deals...after all conversions are being prevented..".
It is downright SICK , MORBID thinking.
Anon @6:39 AM ,
Those initiation photos & the conditions that one surrenders everything including property are so scary & cultish.
Same like drop the mind, drop the intellect of Ravishankar.All brain dead.
I happen to land here, wondering why so much noise. It seems the max noise is made by biggest fools who lost his money or time with such frauds. There are many others out there following many other similar frauds - though in course of time the frauds may or may not be caught yet the foolishness of the masses including the ones who comment here remains (which includes me also). Writing on the wall is quite clear either we have too much time & money in our hand and/or foolish enough to fall again and again. How many can guarantee themselves that they won't fall again.
Guru business? Sounds more like Guru Scams to me!
These business are based on fraud, deception and extortion and tricking "volunteers" into slavery, cutting them off or limiting their contact with family and friends, making it very hard, if not impossible for the poorer inmates to leave the ashram.
Nithy's Bidadi ashram is more a concentration camp than a spiritual place. Nithy's LA ashram isn't much better either. The favored ashramites became henchmen, the rest are no more than slaves. The "volunteers" work 7 days a week, with only a few hours of sleep, sometimes none. Little or no time for meditation, prayer/puja is done by the priests.
One volunteer, who since left the movement, wrote this while he was still in it: "I don't know if I am eligible for enlightenment. I will settle for a good night's sleep in a warm place."
Bhagavad-Gita says that out of every 1000 people, one will tread the spiritual path and out of every 1000 such people on the spititual path, only one will achieve realization. In other words, only 1 in 1,000,000 people is self-realized and the remaining 999,999 people are not self-realized. This is an often quoted statement to convey the message on how difficult the spiritual path is and so on.
What also needs to be understood from that quotation in the Gita is that only 1 in 1000 people who are on the spiritual path get realization - in other words the remaining 999 people are spiritual failures. Therefore, in general, out of every 1000 people who join some ashram, 999 people are failures. In the process of seeking self-realization, they also neglect their own parents, spouse, children, and job.
Therefore, in general, 999 out of every 1000 inmates of each and every ashram in this world are double failures - failures in the spiritual world as well as failures in the regular world.
The warning here is,
"KEEP AWAY FROM SPIRITUAL ORGANIZATIONS - YOU ARE MOST LIKELY TO BECOME A BIG, BIG FAILURE"
On Thursday, the police registered a case of cheating under Sec 420 of IPC against Nithyananda based on a complaint by a group of lawyers. On Friday, based on Lenin's complaint, police slapped more cases against him including those under IPC sections 295 (A) (Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs), 376 (rape), 377 (unnatural sex), 506 (1) (criminal intimidation) and 120 (B) (criminal conspiracy). Disciples say that Nithyananda is in Varanasi attending the Kumbh Mela.
"As, according to Lenin, the alleged sexual acts of the godman in the tape took place in his Bidadi ashram in Karnataka, we will forward the petition to police in that state. We will cooperate with the investigating officials," said Rajendran. However, the Chennai police will investigate the cases of cheating and intimidation booked against the godman, he said.
1. Wow, that;s a lot of cases against Nithy !!!
2. This happened at his Bidadi ashram which he considered or told us it was sacred. He once said something like : say what you want about me, but never about this ashram. He was angry about someone who made a remark about Bidadi ashram.
And ... all this while he's been having sexual romps there !
I don't think a purple suit is the right kit for that sort of terrain.
