41. His Divine Holiness accomplished in just 5 years what karunanidhi took 50 years to accomplish
# **His Divine Holiness accomplished in just 5 years what karunanidhi took 50 years to accomplish**
Karunanidhi had worked for almost half-a-century to gather the influence he had over the society and build his power structure. His Divine Holiness, was extremely young (merely 32) compared to the aged Karunanidhi (85 at that time). He had gathered a huge following very quickly, including party workers and family-friends of Karunanidhi. While His Divine Holiness had started the Bengaluru Aadheenam in 2003 and in five years by 2008 had spread across 33 countries, and had disciples and devotees from all spectrum of the society - right from movie star to Presidents of different countries to simple countryside peasants.
But why 3rd March?
On 3 March 2009, His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda released the Tamil version of his groundbreaking successful book - Jeevan Mukti. The book was released across 123 cities worldwide and sold a record 2,50,000 copies on day 1. Karunanidhi had written several books, novels, and movie scripts in Tamil. The Jeevan Mukti Tamil book had witnessed a massive positive reception across many countries, a kind of reception which was far ahead of what any of Karunanidhi works had gathered.
Could he be used by somebody else?
Could someone else have exploited the feeling of being insulted, jealousy and hatred of a veteran politician - Karunanidhi? Could someone amalgamate jealousy into a huge systematic persecution on His Divine Holiness and His community?
