KAILASA - The Grand Narrative of Hinduism

KAILASA is the only macrocosmic, ancient, Hindu enlightened civilisational nation to serve the religious and spiritual needs of two Billion Hindus and the whole of humanity. KAILASA creates a safe haven to live, practise, express and radiate the peaceful lifestyle of extraordinary powers as per Hinduism regardless of race, gender, caste, or creed. Kailasa is the homeland and civilizational nation for Hindus on par with Israel for Jews, Vatican for Catholics and Tibet for Buddhists.

KAILASA was created with the determination to not just preserve and protect Sanatana Hindu Dharma and share it with the entire world, but also to share the story of persecution that is yet unknown to the world. Towards this goal, KAILASA is dedicated to the preservation, restoration and revival of an enlightened culture and civilization based on authentic Hinduism.

KAILASA is a nation created by dispossessed Hindus from around the world who lost the right to practice Hinduism authentically in their own countries.

Though the KAILASA movement is founded in the United States, and spearheaded by members of the Hindu Adi Shaivite minority community, it is created for, and offers a safe haven to all the world's practicing, aspiring or persecuted Hindus, irrespective of race, gender, sect, caste, or creed, where they can peacefully live and express their spirituality, arts, and culture free from denigration, interference and violence.

The vision of KAILASA is enlightened living for all of humanity which is rooted in the fundamental principle of Advaita or Oneness – the idea that all beings can live in peace and harmony, and that all human beings are equal and divine, and can reach their highest potential irrespective of their color, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, caste, creed or race.

Hinduism represents the world's most ancient yet progressive indigenous spiritual tradition. It is an open framework model of civilization that stands for nonviolence, vegetarianism, worship of nature, organic lifestyle, temple-based living, yoga, manifesting spiritual powers, and the inherent divinity of every being. Hinduism comprises many indigenous spiritual traditions coexisting peacefully for millennia.

The Hindu Holocaust is a stark epitome of a ''campaign of race extermination'' through a systematic, egregious and ongoing ethnic cleansing, forced relocation, double killing through genocide and genocide denial over the last 5000 years on the most ancient living civilization on the planet. Denied by the historians and untold by its victimized survivors, the Hindu holocaust is one of the biggest "crimes against humanity" in world history.

Hindus have time and again suffered religious persecution in the form of forceful conversions, massacres, demolition and desecration of temples, confiscation or destruction of property, incitement to hate, imprisonment, torture, murder, destruction of universities and schools and crimes against women and children.

Hinduism was once practiced freely in over 56 nations across the continent from Afghanistan, Bharat, Nepal, Burma, Sri Lanka, all the way to Singapore, Malaysia, and Cambodia and Indonesia, and in 200 states, 1700 samasthanas (provinces) and 10,000 sampradayas (traditions). Over several centuries the combined forces of foreign invasion, political upheaval, colonialism and religious persecution systematically ended millennia of Hindu Swarajya, or self-rule. Today Hindu temples remain in few countries but the Hindus who worshipped in them have been ethnically cleansed.

Hindus are the victims of the double killing of Holocaust and denial of Holocaust. Denying the largest Holocaust which has been shockingly going on since 5000 years of history will continue to go on in the future unless cognized first and corrected thereafter.

The denial of the Holocaust through distortion of history and ideological indoctrination is the last act of a crime in the Holocaust and the heralding of the next crime. The strategy is to first obfuscate and obliterate a people; then obfuscate and obliterate their memory; and, finally, seek to obfuscate and obliterate the memory of the obfuscation and obliteration. This strategy has been successful as today nobody knows or speaks of the unbroken continuum of annihilation of the Hindus?

Be it by the invading Mughals or the colonial forces, be it in the name of their race or color or religious faith or cultural roots or ethnicity or some other distinction, Hindus have over the past over 2000 years been subject to mass murder, multiple perpetrator rapes, forced indoctrination, artificial famines, child abuse, identity distortion, resulting in a systematic physical elimination of over 100 million Hindus and ideological slavery of over a billion Hindus across all sampradayas (traditions) on all levels – physical, mental, emotional, cultural, religious, political, economical, social, and much more.

Thousands of documents totaling 2,42,000 pages and 14000 hours of video recording in the National Archives of Kailasa support the truth: Hindus in just the last two decades under the regime of His Divine Holiness Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and the reigning Emperor of the 17 Hindu kingdoms today, were persecuted, subjected to inhuman physical, mental and emotional abuse and slavery, violently deprived of their cultural and religious identity, and systematically exterminated by the anti-Hindu terrorist forces and atheist sympathizers.

Hinduism as revealed in the Vedas and Agamas offers mankind a perfected science for attaining the state, space, being, powers, consciousness of Paramashiva, the Adi Guru of humanity.

The open architecture framework of Hinduism reveals the core truths of the self, universe, and divine.

It empowers every individual to have the freedom to customize their own personalized God, personalized lifestyle, and personalized spiritual practice as per their needs and disposition.

Hindu economic policy resulted in Bharat becoming the world's wealthiest country. Prior to British rule, Bharat represented a whopping 25% of global GDP. If we include civilizations that emulated Hindu economic policy, the number jumps to 60%.

Material abundance was the lifestyle of all Hindus and fundamental needs such as food, education, and healthcare were offered to all citizens free of charge as a basic right.

Hinduism established a decentralized, republican system of governance that emphasized democratic principles and self-rule at the local village level.

Those at the governance layer were held accountable to a Constitution, a code of universal principles of human rights and proper governance as aligned to Dharma Shastras.

Hindu philosophers were the first to discover the binary number system, algorithms and the Nyaya system of logic which was a major influence on George Boole and Charles Babbage, the founders of modern computer science.

Hinduism is responsible for the world's first holistic plantbased system of medicine, Ayurveda.

Ancient Hindu civilization also had a detailed knowledge of anatomy, embryology, digestion, metabolism, physiology, genetics, immunity, anesthesia, and cosmetic surgery.

Yoga is a comprehensive system of physical, mental and spiritual practices designed to give human beings a superconscious breakthrough. Practices like asanas, pranayama, japa and dharana tune the body to the space of Oneness, or union with Paramashiva.

Hindu civilization innovated the modern numeral and decimal system, the concept of zero, arithmetic, trigonometry, algebra, combinatorics, the basic elements of calculus and accurately calculated the value of Pi.

Breakthrough discoveries millennia before Newton: Hindu philosophers conceived of the atom, the laws of motion, and quantum superposition thousands of years ago in addition to accurately calculating the speed of light.

Hindu civilization developed an elaborate understanding of astronomy, including a heliocentric model for the solar system millennia before Galileo. It also developed a theory of gravity, accurately calculated the Earth's orbit around the Sun and created precise star/planet charts thousands of years before European astronomers.

Hindu civilization built elaborate, highly durable structures that exhibit fractal geometry, well-planned cities with complex drainage systems, and huge rock-cut temples carved from a single stone.

Hindu culture recognized 64 traditional arts including dance, painting, singing, instrumental music, sculpture and many other forms of expression. Each art form embodied aesthetic beauty while conveying deep spiritual truths and motifs.

Sanskrit has a vast vocabulary and adaptable grammar, so that words can express any nuance of an idea. Sanskrit possesses technical and philosophical terms unknown in any other language.

Modern Hindu scholars of Sanskrit note that many of the new concepts of nuclear physics or modern psychology are easy for them to grasp, since they correspond directly to familiar notions of Sanskrit terminology

"The Mohammedan conquest of Bharat is probably the bloodiest story in history. The Islamic historians and scholars have recorded with great glee and pride the slaughters of Hindus, forced conversions, abduction of Hindu women and children to slave markets and the destruction of temples carried out by the warriors of Islam during 800 A.D. to 1700 A.D. Millions of Hindus were converted to Islam by sword during this period." Millions more were raped and murdered and dismembered,

Will Durant, The Story of Civilisation: Our Oriental Heritage (1935)

"If the infidels, upon receiving the call [to convert to Islam], neither consent to it nor agree to pay capitation tax, it is then incumbent on the Muslims to call upon God for assistance, and to make war upon them, because God is the assistant of those who serve Him, and the destroyer of His enemies, the infidels, and it is necessary to implore His aid upon every occasion; the Prophet, moreover, commands us so to do. And having so done, the Muslims must then with God's assistance attack the infidels with all manner of warlike engines (as the Prophet did by the people of Ta'if), and must also set fire to their habitations (in the same manner as the Prophet fired Baweera), and must inundate them with water and tear up their plantations and tread down their grain because by these means they will become weakened, and their resolution will fail and their force be broken; these means are, therefore, all sanctified by the law."

Al-Hidayah (1197), one of the most influential works of Sunni jurisprudence

"Hindus are like the mud; if silver is demanded from them, they must with the greatest humility offer gold. If a Mohammedan desires to spit into a Hindu's mouth, the Hindu should open it wide for the purpose. God created the Hindus to be slaves of the Mohammedans. The Prophet hath ordained that, if the Hindus do not accept Islam, they should be imprisoned, tortured, and finally put to death, and their property confiscated. To keep the Hindus in abasement is especially a religious duty, because they are the most inveterate enemies of the Prophet. "

Abdullah Wassaf, Tazjiyat-ul-Amsar (1606), describing the Islamic law prescribed for Hindus as conveyed to Alauddin Khilji by his qazi, or legal adviser.

"The Raja of Nagrakote, after sustaining some loss, submitted, but was restored to his dominions. The name of Nagrakote was on this occasion changed to that of Mahomedabad. Sultan Feroze, on this occasion, broke the idols of Nagrakote, and mixing the fragments with pieces of cow's flesh, filled bags with them, and caused them to be tied round the necks of Brahmins, who were then paraded through the camp. It is said, also, that he sent the image of Nowshaba to Mecca to be thrown on the road that it might be trodden under foot by the pilgrims."

Muhammad Qasim Hindu Shah Firishta, Tarikh-i Firishta (1606)

"The Hindu prisoners were divided into four sections and taken to each of the four gates of the great catcar. There, on the stakes they had carried, the prisoners were impaled. Afterwards their wives were killed and tied by their hair to these pales. Little children were massacred on the bosoms of their mothers and their corpses left there."

Ibn Battuta, Rihla (1354), describing the torture and massacre of Hindus by Ghiyas-ud-Din Muhammad Damghani of the Madhurai Sultanate

"I have seen a great people starving to death before my eyes, and I am convinced that this exhaustion and starvation are due not, as their beneficiaries claim, to overpopulation and superstition, but to the most sordid and criminal exploitation of one nation by another in all recorded history."

Will Durant, celebrated historian, commenting on British rule in Bharat (1930)

Using theories of scientific racism and social Darwinism, the British justified their conquest and oppression of dark-skinned peoples as a humanitarian, civilizing mission even though it was mere cover for racial oppression and economic exploitation:

"Do you not see, then, that by following these studies you are walking in the very path to which England owes her wealth....the glorious work which God seems to have laid on the English race, to replenish the earth and subdue it?"

Charles Kingsley, celebrated professor, historian, friend

"The Hindus are full of dissimulation and falsehood, the universal concomitants of oppression. The vices of falsehood, indeed they carry to a height almost unexampled among the other races of men. As for religion, no people … have ever drawn a more gross and disgusting picture of the universe than what is presented in the writings of the Hindus….Very few words are required [regarding Islam]; because the superiority of the Mahomedans in respect of religion is beyond all dispute. In truth the Hindu, like the eunuch, excels in the qualities of a slave … the Mahomedan is more manly."

James Mill, celebrated author of the seminal work, The History of British Bharat, and intellectual leader for a generation of East India

"The fathers of the Church forbade the Hindus under terrible penalties the use of their own sacred books, and prevented them from all exercise of their religion. They destroyed their temples, and so harassed and interfered with the people that they abandoned the city in large numbers, refusing to remain any longer in a place where they had no liberty, and were liable to imprisonment, torture and death if they worshipped after their own fashion the gods of their fathers."

Filippo Sassetti, Italian traveler and merchant, describing the Goa Inquisition (1578)

Hindus, accused of being heretics, burned alive en masse in an auto-da-fe

"The British had been horrified, during the Revolt of 1857, to see Hindus and Muslims fighting side by side and under each other's command against the foreign oppressor. They vowed this would not happen again. "Divide et impera ("Divide and Rule") was an old Roman maxim, and it shall be ours", wrote Lord Elphinstone. A systematic policy of fomenting separate consciousness among the two communities was launched, with overt British sponsorship."

Shashi Tharoor, MP Hindu Parliament, Era of Darkness (2016)

Engineered famines to break the spirit of a people

"I hate Hindus. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion. The famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits."

Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1943) Harsh British tax and export policies and poor infrastructure management caused multiple famines in Bharat claiming tens of millions of lives, most recently in Bengal in 1943. Hindus were forced to eat leaves, grass and human flesh and parents threw their starving children into rivers and wells while others committed suicide to escape their living hell.

Madhusree Mukerjee, Churchill's Secret War: The British Empire and the Ravaging of Bharat during World War II (2011)

Prior to colonial rule, Bharat was the world's leading textile manufacturer and produced the finest fabrics. The British engaged in a systematic campaign to destroy the local handloom industry through harsh taxation and export policies that forced Bharat to import British-made textiles and banned Hindu textiles from being sold in foreign markets. Within a generation, Hindu weavers were turned into beggars and their indigenous skills were lost forever.

By 1878 Hindu railway mechanics in Jamalpur in Bengal and Ajmer in Rajputana had become so proficient at maintaining locomotive trains that they started designing and building their own models at a fraction of the cost of imported British trains. The British Parliament responded by passing an Act in 1912 banning all local manufacture of trains to ensure Bharat's economic dependence on their colonial masters and destroy native technological know how.

Era of Darkness: The British Empire in Bharat (2016)

"It was a strange but determined piece of policy when throughout the country the pagoda lands were resumed by the [East India Company] and tusdeck allowances were granted in their place… Now let us contemplate the result of this plan. From one end of the country to the other, the pagodas are ruined, unmaintained…The revenues of Tripetty are on a gradual decline and will die in the lapse of years a natural death. Some of the most celebrated temples in the country are worse off. But there are still, alas, many more strongholds of the devil."

Asiatic Journal (1831)

British rulers perpetuated the narrative that Hindus were generally illiterate and education was restricted to high-caste Hindus, but their own surveys revealed that every village had at least one school and Sudras and other low-caste children constituted 70-84% of students. In contrast, a century of direct British misrule of Bharat left the population with a dismal 12% literacy rate.

Survey of Indigenous Education in Madras Presidency 1822-1826

"We must at present do our best to form a class who may be interpreters between us and the millions whom we govern; a class of persons, Hindu in blood and colour, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals, and in intellect. To that class, we may leave it to refine the vernacular dialects of the country, to enrich those dialects with terms of science borrowed from the Western nomenclature, and to render them by degrees fit vehicles for

conveying knowledge to the great mass of the population."

Thomas Macaulay, East India Company, Minute on Education (1835)

Despite their best efforts to adopt English language, clothing and mannerisms, the Anglicized Brown British native clerks of Bharat were often viewed with contempt and ridiculed as 'Bengali Baboos' by their White masters for their ornate speech, self-importance and fawning attitude towards any Westerner they met.

"Concerned at the rising awareness of nationalism after the Hindu Mutiny of 1857, the British realized that to strengthen their hold in Bharat they, being just a handful, needed to widen their political and psychological management of Bharat and the Hindus. Thus they began to focus on the education of Native Princes and the pursuit of the objective in Macaulay's Minute on Education of 1837 'to create a class of people-Hindu in Blood and Color but English in opinions, in morals and in Intellect' became the cornerstone of their strategy."

Criminal Tribes Act of 1871

The British government passed the Criminal Tribes Act where various ethnic communities were deemed subversive to colonial authority simply because they did not conform to their idea of 'civilized living'. Targeted populations, such as sadhus, sanyasis, tribals, nomads, gypsies and sudras, were presumed guilty by birth, murdered, raped, arrested, had children separated from parents, and held in penal colonies or quarantined without conviction or due process. Upon release from British custody, targeted communities were subject to surveillance and given tattoos to stigmatize them and make them easier to track.

Thuggee and Dacoity Suppression Acts

In an effort to demonize Hindus and feed the stereotype of the savage oriental, British authorities and media sensationalized stories of bloodthirsty thuggees, or bandits, who would offer human sacrifices to the wicked and fearsome goddess Kali. The image of the thuggee was promoted worldwide as an example of all that was wrong with Bharat.

In addition to denigrating Hindu culture, the narrative of the thuggee menace was also used to justify colonial rule, suspend civil liberties and target subversive elements that challenged British hegemony.

Visited by many devotees a year, Sabarimala is one of the world's largest pilgrimage sites, exceeded only by Mecca. Given its prominence the Sabarimala temple has been targeted by Anti-Hindu social activists for years as part of a broader campaign to delegitimize Hinduism as sexist and patriarchal.

The temple was forcibly entered, vandalized, its deity broken and burned down in 1950 by Syrian Christian provocateurs. At the time of the arson, the Marxist atheist Chief Minister of Travancore-Cochin, C. Keshavan, famously stated:

"If a Hindu temple is destroyed, that much superstition is destroyed"

and since 1991 a group of activist lawyers have sought to force Sabarimala to accept women by judicial fiat.

Bollywood and other mainstream media outlets consistently portray Hindu gods and gurus as cartoonish, dishonest, corrupt, sex fiends in a manner similar to British imperial propaganda.

The relentless campaign of psychological warfare waged on Hindu minds by the British and their brown successors post-Independence have resulted in a Hindu population that is demoralized, delegitimized and without a sense of identity except to pathetically ape the West. This is a textbook case of internalized racism.

Result: Hindus spend billions annually on fairness cream to lighten their skin to be more like their former British masters. A 2014 marketing study found that almost 90% of Hindu girls cite skin lightening as a "high need."

His Divine Holiness Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam is Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism (SPH) and the reviver of KAILASA – the ancient enlightened civilization, the great cosmic borderless Hindu nation. HDH is an Avatar as per Hinduism and is the Supreme Pontiff (Jagadguru Mahasannidhanam) of Hinduism.

His Divine Holiness Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam represents the last lamp of a Hindu civilization nearly exterminated over the course of a thousand years of invasion, occupation, persecution, and genocide. He is single-handedly reviving the authentic teachings, rituals, culture

Hinduism as revealed in the Vedas and Agamas offers mankind a perfected science for attaining the state, space, being, superconsciousness and powers of Paramashiva, the Adi Guru of humanity. By rediscovering and revealing orthodox Hinduism as described in its source scriptures, SPH is demonstrating its relevance to the world and its potential to transform humans into divine beings capable of achieving superconsciousness and manifesting extraordinary powers.

The gurukul, or traditional Hindu residential school, was the very backbone of Hindu civilization. Open to all members of Hindu society, it offered a nurturing, nature-based environment where the guru could guide and train his students in both worldly arts (e.g., mathematics, literature, and martial arts) and spiritual arts (e.g., yoga, meditation, and power manifestation). The gurukul system was the key mechanism for knowledge transmission and preservation in Hindu civilization. SPH has established the world's only gurukul that is completely aligned to the original teachings of the Vedas and Agamas.

Hindu temples and the deities, sculptures, paintings, and jewelry contained therein are unsurpassed marvels of art and engineering. Unfortunately, much of the skills and know-how to produce traditional Hindu art per the Agamas has been lost due to temple destruction, heavy temple taxation and economic and legal restrictions that have ravaged indigenous artisan communities. SPH has established a large scale sacred arts facility in Bengaluru Adheenam where Hindu arts and artifacts are collected and preserved from all over Bharat, artisans are trained, and deities and other artwork are produced for distribution to Hindu temples in 33 countries.

Modern Hindus tend to dismiss ancient traditions such as pujas, homas, and abhishekhams as mere rituals. SPH has explained that Vedic worship or rituals are a collection of powerful transformative meditation techniques designed to connect the participant with the divine and experience intense bliss. Vedic rituals, when performed with the proper context and devotion, are outwardly beautiful and can directly put you in-tune with the universal energy or God. One of SPH's core missions is to reestablish the importance of rituals as a daily lifestyle for Hindus.

Authentic Yoga was revealed by Sadashiva himself in order to give humanity the techniques to develop the physique and physiology to manifest the superconscious state and express extraordinary powers. Modern Yoga is merely a diluted form of physical exercise with little connection to its Hindu roots beyond a few Sanksrit terms for asanas. SPH has rediscovered the original Yoga taught by Sadashiva grounded in the Shastra Pramana, or Agamic scriptural references, and designed to give the practitioner the experience of superconsciousness.

Rudrakanyas were trained dancers who dedicated their lives to cultivating the 64 indigenous Hindu arts and devotedly serving the Gods residing in their local temple. Forsaking a traditional family life, they were the ultimate embodiment of beauty and chastity. Heavy taxation of temples as well as scandalous colonial narratives by British authorities destroyed the rudrakanya community and they are now remembered as little more than salacious court dancers. SPH has reestablished the rudrakanya sampradaya and its members have dedicated their lives to preserving and cultivating traditional Hindu arts.

The Sanyaas Sampradaya (monastic order) established by SPH is unique in that it freely ordains women and allows women to perform temple rituals. Moreover, women constitute the majority of the senior leadership in SPH's mission, thereby establishing his vision of Hinduism as not just orthodox, but also highly progressive and committed to gender equality.

SPH has revealed that the Agama scriptures recognize eleven genders and prescribe specific temple rituals to solemnize gay marriage, which is otherwise considered taboo in mainstream Hinduism. Moreover, he has declared that he himself transcends gender and consequently suffered vicious persecution for his bold progressive stance on LGBTQ issues. By rooting the legitimacy of gays, lesbians and transgendered people in ancient Hindu scriptures, he is single-handedly changing the LGBTQ discourse in Bharat.

Alongside this - recovering the lost knowledge, literatures, and lifestyles which are being destroyed over centuries of relentless persecution and genocide.

Through the revival of KAILASA, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Bhagavan Sri THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM aims not only to revive this Ancient Civilization, but also through this to serve all kinds of people, from every walk of life Through the revival of KAILASA, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Bhagavan Sri THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM aims not only to revive this Ancient Civilization, but also through this to serve all kinds of people, from every walk of life

Over 26+ years of untiring contribution, delivering more than 18,000 hours of public discourses, designing and conducting over 100 types of meditation workshops, and serving more than 1 billion people through free, organic, vegetarian food distribution (Annadhan), the SPH is bringing both the lifestyle and knowledge of Hinduism to the world in a grand scale.

6 Jan 2013: KAILASA in Thiruvannamalai traditionally celebrates the birth date of the SPH THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM

The first temple ecosystem established by the SPH JGM HDH Bhagavan THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM at the age of 23, on the banks of the sacred Kaveri River (2001).

This was the start of the borderless Hindu Temple Ecosystem we know today as KAILASA.

After having a vision of the sacred Banyan Tree, the SPH had established the AdiKAILASA Temple Ecosystem with this same Banyan Tree at its heart - the main headquarters of KAILASA (2003).

Through the livestream of the sacred Banyan Tree and deities, the temple ecosystem of AdiKAILASA is continuously available to all - from wherever they are.

AdiKAILASA Nithyananda Peetham in Bidadi The continuous flow of worship and temple services.

The first temple established by the SPH outside Bharat. The temple physically came to life in just 9 months. The chief presiding deities of the temple are Sri Nithyanandeshwara and Nithyanandeshwari. The deities are 7-feet tall granite, weighing 6 tons, and their divine faces have been directly hand-carved by the SPH.

KAILASA in Los Angeles, California (USA) The Los Angeles temple, first inaugurated in 2005, then established in its permanent location in 2007, houses the largest Shiva linga and Rajarajeshwari Devi in North America.

KAILASA in Los Angeles, California (USA) As a 25'000 square ft temple-complex, housing 80+ deities, it is one of the largest Hindu Temple ecosystems in the West.

KAILASA in Seattle, Washington (USA) Housing the blissful dancing form of Ganesha, and the largest living Nataraja deity outside of Bharat, KAILASA in Seattle is also known as Chidambaram* of the West.

*Chidambaram Temple: The ancient Hindu temple where Paramashiva resides as Nataraja, the Cosmic Dancer and expression of Akasha/Space. The big toe of Nataraja has also been revealed to be the centre of the Earth's magnetic equator.

Inaugurated in 2009, KAILASA in San Jose radiates the energy of the 'Madurai' Meenakshi Temple*. The chief presiding deities of the temple are Devi Meenakshi, the Shiva Linga, Lord Sri Nithyanandeshwara and Devi Nithyanandeshwari (Lord Shiva and the Cosmic Mother) which have been created, installed and energized by the SPH Himself.

*Madurai Meenakshi Temple: Home to Devi Meenakshi- the Divine Cosmic Mother, and the consort of Lord Sundareshwar, the most beautiful and blissful form of Lord Shiva.

Alongside the Shiva Linga and Nithyananda Ganesha, KAILASA in St. Louis carries the energy of Tirumala Tirupati* of South Bharat and houses the one of the tallest Venkateshwara deities in North America, along with His consorts - Sridevi and Bhudevi. The beautiful landscape nestled among the woods and rolling hills of Missouri stretches for 20 acres.

*Thirumala Tirupati is one of the most beloved of Lord Vishnu, whose temple is the most visited (of any religion) in the world

Home to over 21 deities and with a temple structure of 2500 square feet, KAILASA in Phoenix has been directly established by the SPH THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM - serving as an energy field of worship, meditation, and celebration for over 7 years

Formally inaugurated in 2017, the SPH has declared KAILASA in Houston as the Parihara Sthala for all the Navagraha doshas*

*The space in which all ill-effects of the 9 celestial bodies are removed

Inaugurated on July 2011, KAILASA in Toronto is the only Hindu temple in the West with all 63 Nayanmars*, and 18 Siddhas* residing as deities. The temple deities here are seated exactly as they existentially preside in Kailaasa around Paramashiva, the Primordial Deity of Hinduism

*Nayanmars: The most endearing, and notable Saints of Hinduism *Siddhas: Literally meaning "the accomplished/perfected one"

Active and alive from 2011 onwards, KAILASA in Toronto has been blessed to radiate the superconscious energy of Kailaasa. This temple ecosystem goes on providing various temple services to the community such as Annadhan, and traditional Hindu ceremonies.

KAILASA's Dept. of Religion and Worship, Dept. of Human Services, and each of KAILASA's Temple Ecosystems consider the Right of Happiness to be the highest fundamental right of all humans - in fact, all beings.

The ultimate goal for Hinduism and KAILASA, led by the SPH JGM HDH Bhagavan THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, is the material and spiritual well-being, and prosperity of humanity.

Annadhan - the traditional distribution of free, vegetarian, organic food for people of all caste, creed, religion, race, gender, social standing

The developmental, economic, social, and medical impacts of malnutrition and famine have a critical impact on the individual, familial, community, national, ultimately on the global level.

With the on-going COVID-19 pandemic triggering an alarming spike in food insecurity, the United Nations have given warnings of famines of biblical proportions. In 2020 alone, people were estimated to be pushed into food insecurity.

The access and availability to organic food has become of utmost importance.

Through KAILASA's Department of Agriculture, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Jagat Guru Mahasannidhanam His Divine Holiness Bhagavan THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, has committed to the distribution of free, organic food to everyone - not just since the beginning of His public life, but from His very upbringing itself.

1943 – 1944: In the man-made famine of Bengal, as per existing records 3+ million were murdered. The Prime minister of the world's biggest empire controlling 1/3rd of mankind claimed they could not do anything about the people dying of hunger because - "Hindus bred like rabbits and the famine was their fault".

2016, Ujjain : In Ujjain Kumbh Mela, the peacekeepers of KAILASA served organic food to over 3+ million. Peacekeepers of KAILASA under the leadership of the SPH THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM have served more than 1 billion free meals in past 26 years and are determined to end hunger and poverty in all its forms. KAILASA, with 200 peacekeepers at any given time, can deliver what even one of the biggest countries could not deliver. KAILASA is not driven by war, fear or greed - it is an enlightenment based nation - driven by selfless service.

The Vedagamas, the source of Hindu Scripture, declares :

|| अɄम् बŠ कु वŎत ||1 "Annam Bahu Kurveetha"

which means, "Let us produce food in large quantities".

Through the widespread distribution and promotion of free, healthy, organic food, KAILASA's global peacekeepers led by the SPH serve such that we may achieve food security, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture globally.

Annadhan is the vision to end poverty and hunger, in all its forms.

(1) Taittiriya Upanishad, Brigu Valli, Chapter 3 Verse 9

Hinduism, Sanatana Hindu Dharma, is a knowledge-based tradition. What was once passed on orally from time immemorial, has in the last few thousand years begun being transmitted through written word in the form of palm-leaf scriptures, books, and libraries.

"Only if you read the original Upanishads, Brahma Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, you will understand the Reality, the Truth, what I stand for.

Jnanalaya, Grantha Samadhi, Hindu Traditional Library has principles like books are the living representative of Saraswati and Dakshinamurthy, meaning they express the Authenticity of the Truth." - The SPH THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM (10 Nov 2019)

"Centuries of history of discrimination, exploitation, dispossession and colonization have led to the loss of traditional knowledge. Traditional knowledge is under threat and is being misused and misappropriated …

Indigenous peoples' traditional knowledge has been developed over generations through daily life practices and a close understanding of local environments. It can offer valuable responses to climate change, food insecurity, reducing inequalities and other challenges that we are trying to resolve …"

18th Session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII)

From the original 100 million source books of Hinduism, barely 20% remain today.

Through KAILASA's Dept. of Enlightened Civlizations, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism has committed His life to ensure the preservation, protection, and transmission of the age-old, authentic, time-tested Hindu knowledge.

The SPH serves to not only protect the branches of knowledge remaining today, but also to revive this vast knowledge which has been lost over years of genocide, and persecution.

28 Feb 2020: Public Presidential Address to the Hindu Diaspora, by The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism

The Rig-Vedas, one of the fundamental source scriptures of Hinduism, expresses a concept known as the Hiranyagarbha, or the "Universal Womb".

From the concept of Hiranyagarbha, comes the understanding of the space out of which everything comes forth, Zero.

From Bharat to Persia, then onto Arabia through the Hindu scholar Kanaka, this knowledge is today the cornerstone of everything considered as binary logic.

The traditional Hindu form of medicinal diagnostics and treatments. With its roots in Hindu scriptures and reference in chapters of the Rig-Vedas, it stands as the oldest living medicinal system still being used and practised today.

This includes the use of copper in medical instruments for its antibacterial properties, and the use of Ayurvedic methodology in treatments for Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Osteoarthritis

An ancient Hindu literature, detailing the science of astronomy including the speed of light, distance from the sun, diameter of the Earth, and planetary orbitals, long before the recent understanding of modern optics.

The age-old science and practise of Yoga has direct reference and origin in the Hindu Agamas, Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Joga Pradipika, Rudramalayam of Uttara-Tantram, Gheranda Samhita, and countless other Hindu scriptures.

The Hindu science of consciousness and awareness, extending its application through the form of mental, emotional, physiological, neurological, and physical freedom.

Hindus have lived in Kashmir for more than 10,000 years. The name Kashmir derives its origins from the name of Rishi Kashyapa, one of the Sapta Rishis, or 7 Great Rshis, as described in Vedas (Sama Veda verse 2.218-221).

Over the course of repeated and systematic genocide, persecution, and invasion which continues to this day, Hindus were mercilessly killed and their knowledge burnt to ashes.

Today Hindus in the valley of Kashmir are less than 2% of the total population.

Today, Education is known to be the key factor to enabling upwards socioeconomic mobility, and the strongest means of removing poverty. The right education is crucial to the well-being, stability, and growth of not only every child, but to humanity as a whole.

The Gurukul System is known to be the knowledgetransmission system of Hinduism - one of the pillars which kept Sanatana Hindu Dharma alive and standing, as the world's most ancient, living civilization.

Through KAILASA's Dept. of Education, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism, JGM HDH Bhagavan Sri THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, the Gurukul System is being revived in its entirety.

Gurukul - "Living in the Guru's Home"

The Gurukul System is rooted on the "guru-shishya sampradaya", or the living lineage of the Gurudisciple relationship.

After decades of study on the physical, chemical, and biological uniqueness of meditative states and Enlightened beings, it has been found that in the normal waking state alone..their brainwaves show that they are in a complete meditative state, despite being fully active and engaged.

In the world of athletics, this state is known as the "being in the zone" - a GLIMPSE into the peak of focus, cognitive function, attention, and coordination, to name a few.

Rather than a glimpse, Enlightened beings casually walk, talk, and engage with life settled in this peak.

Recent studies have also found that we imbibe the body language, behaviours, and patterns of those in our environment- not just on the behavioural level, but to the depths of the neurological layer.

This is also known as the "mirror-neuron effect".

In this way, there is no better teacher than the Enlightened Guru, who (as per modern science) exists as the superconscious, biological, reproducible anomaly.

However, through centuries of Moghul Invasions, Colonialism, and continued persecution against Hinduism and Hindu Tradition, this science of knowledge transmission has been diminishing at an unprecedented rate.

After careful study in the Colonialism Era, it was found that the Gurukul System was standing as the backbone and stability of the Hindu Civilization.

The Macaulay Education System was imposed on Bharat after this revelation.

With the systematic destruction of Hindu Universities and Gurukuls, goes also more than 80% of Hinduism's Indigenous knowledge.

"Our English schools are flourishing wonderfully … The effect of this education on the Hindoos is prodigious.

No Hindoo who has received an English education ever continues to be sincerely attached to his religion ...

The Hindoo religion is so extravagantly absurd that it is impossible to teach a boy astronomy, geography, natural history, without completely destroying the hold which that religion has on his mind. ...

It is my firm belief that, if our plans of education are followed up, there will not be a single idolater among the respectable classes in Bengal thirty years hence.

And this will be effected without any efforts to proselytise, without the smallest interference with religious liberty, merely by the natural operation of knowledge and re(f)lection.

I heartily rejoice in this prospect...."

• Thomas Macaulay (12 Oct 1836)

THE DESTRUCTION OF HINDU GURU SHISHYA PARAMAPARA AND THE PERSECUTION OF THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM JAGAT GURU MAHASANNIDHANAM HIS DIVINE HOLINESS BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM

Religious freedom has long been recognized as a fundamental human right both at the national level in various countries' constitutions as well as at the international level by the United Nations in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and related international conventions, treaties, and declarations. Religious freedom extends not just to the individual right to conscience, belief, religious practice, but also the institutional right of religious communities to organize their adherents, adopt common rules, doctrines, and scriptures, and appoint clergy and leadership through various succession processes.

Freedom of religion or belief is guaranteed by Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Freedom of religion or belief has many dimensions, and it intersects with other human rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights sets forth, in Article 18, the principle that "everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion", and clearly states that such a right "includes freedom to change his religion or belief and freedom, either alone or in community with others, and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practise, worship and observance".

A fundamental element of any religious community's freedom is its ability to independently appoint clergy and leadership. The United Nations General Assembly Resolution 36/55, Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief, Article 6 (g) states: "the right to freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief includes the freedom, to train, appoint, elect or designate by succession appropriate leaders...". Religion is not merely scripture, rituals, and doctrine but also includes infrastructure and governance: the practice and teaching of religion and belief include acts integral to the conduct by religious groups of their basic affairs, such as, inter alia, the freedom to choose their religious leaders, priests, and teachers, the freedom to establish seminaries or religious schools.

Over the years, significant instances of government interference in religious communities have been documented by media and human rights organizations ranging from the persecution of Jews and Christians in the Middle East, Falun Gong in China, and the people of Tibet. A much-needed area of focus for the international human rights community is government interference in religious leadership succession processes intended to usurp control of religious communities and institutions by state actors for political purposes. The most well-documented occurrence of this phenomenon involves China's interference in the Dalai Lama succession process whereby the Chinese Communist Party has openly attempted to install its own chosen successor and delegitimize the current 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso. In a similar way, since 1925 the Hindu State governments have been interfering with and politically controlling minority religious sects in Bharat mainly so by nationalizing Hindu temples and religious institutes, arbitrarily nullifying and overriding Hindu religious appointments outside the scrutiny of international media and human rights watchdogs, and politically determining who can and cannot be appointed religious leader or 'Gurumahasannidanam'.

Bharat's constitution guarantees the freedom to practice religion as a fundamental right both for individuals and institutions, respectively in Articles 25 and 26. Article 25 of the Hindu constitution states that "all persons are equally entitled to freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practice and propagate religion" in a manner that does not adversely affect public order, health, or morality. Furthermore, Article 26 of the Hindu constitution provides that all religious denominations can "manage their own affairs in matters of religion", thereby ensuring not just individual but collective freedom of religion for institutions.

Despite these legal guarantees empowering religious groups to freely and independently select their leadership, certain state actors in China and Bharat have sought to undermine, usurp, and assimilate religious institutions they deem to be subversive to their political power base by improperly interfering in their leadership succession processes.

Religious freedom and civil liberties in Bharat have deteriorated sharply in the past few years as per various international reports such as - the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. Sweden-based V-Dem Institute has downgraded the Prime Minister of Bharat Narendra Modi led Neo-Hindutva government as an "electoral autocracy". The Economist Intelligence Unit in its latest Democracy Index classified Bharat as 'partially free democracy' and downgraded Bharat to the 53rd position. There has been increased suppression of freedom of speech and increased attacks against religious groups, especially against minorities by the State agencies, violent militant mobs, and lawfare (malicious prosecution and vexatious litigation by the state).

As per the preamble of the Hindu Constitution, the State of the Republic of Bharat is a Secular state. It is an established international tenet of secularism that religious institutions may not be singled out for special burdens, in that governments may not impose special restrictions on religious activities that do not also apply to similar nonreligious activities. However, in Bharat, state and religion are not separate. Various State governments of Bharat have nationalized religious worship places, and politically control matters of belief. The Supreme Court of Bharat has made three judgments directing the State governments to withdraw themselves from administration and control of Hindu temples. This has not remedied the situation and the State governments in Bharat continue to control and administer temples of the country. Various State governments of Bharat use vexatious litigations targeting minority indigenous spiritual traditions, by taking over their temples, misappropriating their temple funds, misappropriating their temple land, kidnapping and trafficking their worshipped Deities, destroying their heritage and religious structures using heavy earthmovers, and interfering with their religious appointments by means which are not just unconstitutional, and not just against international standards on freedom of religion or belief, but also against the ancient indigenous laws and customs. Since 2020, the situation has worsened as the apex courts have upheld the State takeover of temples from traditional trusts and imposing special burdens on these temples destroying vulnerable native traditions irreversibly.

This report presents the historical and ongoing egregious attempts by the State governments of Bharat to undermine, usurp, and destroy millennia-old Hindu monastic institutions in direct violation of Bharat's constitution as well as international treaties, conventions, and norms.

Contemporary studies based on the carbon dating done on some of the earliest and exceptionally preserved human fossils suggest that the first modern humans (Homo Sapiens), evolved from their early hominid (monkey-human) predecessors between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago. Based on such studies scientists have identified a hundred significant human settlements. Out of these hundred settlements the Hindu civilization, the Mayan Civilization, the Egyptian civilization, and a few others, have been described as some of the most advanced ancient civilizations. Amongst all these ancient civilizations, only the Vedic civilization is still alive even today. All other civilizations have become extinct. Based on various pieces of evidence such as astronomical, literary, and archaeological, the Hindu civilization is known to be an unbroken continuum of more than a few hundred thousand years of history.

Ancient Hindu astronomers have recorded some of the earliest planetary observations in the Hindu Sacred texts, such as the Sūrya Siddhānta. Sūrya Siddhānta records the astronomical data for the end of the 28th Krita Yuga based on which some scholars have established the epoch of

the current Vedic Yuga calendar as being around - 15,962 BCE. Around 11,000 BCE - The previous ice age (Holocene era) came to an end, and "the Holocene glacial retreat" was completed. As per Hindu History (the Puranas), this era is seen as an era of the deluge. It is during this period (11,200 BCE), King Vaivasvata Manu rescues different species of plants, animals, and humans in a boat to restart the civilization of KAILASA. The Vedas - the most ancient source scriptures of Hinduism, name several kingdoms that existed even before this period (11,000 BCE). Subsequently, the later Hindu scriptures (Puranas and Smritis) also record the several Hindu nations that were present during the last ten thousand years.

• 12. KAILASA is the union of the Hindu Kingdoms, mentioned in the Hindu Cosmic Constitution (Vedas and Agamas). THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Jagat Guru Mahasannidhanam His Divine Holiness Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam is the sovereign head and reigning emperor of seventeen of these ancient Hindu Kingdoms.

During different eras, these individual sovereign nations had slightly different names and slightly different boundaries. Many of these merged into other bigger nations, and many newer nations were also created at various times. There are several Hindu nations, which stood the test of time. These were directly established by Paramashiva in one of His incarnations. Kashi is one such example. Paramashiva declared that even during the time of deluge, Kashi will always be protected, because Kashi is seated on His Trishul.

  • b. Mesopotamian (6500 BCE 539 BCE),
  • c. Jiahu civilization (7000 BCE 5700 BCE)

  • e. Greek and Roman (2700 BCE 465 CE),
  • f. Hindu Civilization (> 10,000 BCE ongoing)
• 15. Amongst the ten most advanced ancient civilizations and 100 most ancient civilizations, the only one to survive is the Civilization of Sanatana Hindu Dharma. This shows truly there is something

unique in Hinduism that has enabled it to be eternal, and survive across time for thousands of years. Indeed Hinduism is Sanatana (eternal/without a beginning or end), however, it can be wiped from the geography.

The Mahabharat war ended at around 3200 BCE. The map in saffron is of the Hindu subcontinent around 3200 BCE - 56 Sovereign Hindu nations spread across an area of more than 60 million km².

However, by 2007 CE, zero Hindu nations exist on planet Earth spanning 0 million km². Indeed, Sanatana Hindu Dharma is eternal but it can be wiped off the geography.

• 16. China's persecution of, and interference in Tibetan Buddhist institutions is relatively well-known thanks to the tireless efforts of human rights organizations, the United Nations, the Tibetan diaspora, and the efforts of His Holiness the Dalai Lama himself to bring it to the attention of the international community. However, a very similar, albeit virtually unknown destruction has been done by state actors in Bharat to undermine and control ancient Hindu religious institutions for political purposes. This assault on religious freedom is part and parcel of broader authoritarian, anti-democratic trends taking place in Bharat that have only recently been acknowledged by the international community.
• 17. Hinduism is a vast and heterogenous religion that comprises various spiritual traditions and lineages referred to as sampradayas. Many of these Sampradayas (religious Sects) date back thousands of years and are led by individuals who are regarded to be Avatars, or incarnations of divine beings, in an unbroken succession whereby a new leader or Gurumahasannidanam is selected and coronated by his immediate predecessor, the current Gurumahasannidanam. In this regard, these Hindu Sampradayas operate in a manner very similar to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of ritualistically selecting and installing new Guru Mahasannidhanams who are believed to be reincarnations and living manifestations of divine beings.
• 18. In Hinduism spiritual lineage can be passed to the next generation only through lifelong, multigenerational spiritual practice, mentoring, and initiation by the Guru (or Gurumahasannidanam). Hindu spiritual practices involve yogic processes which cause a conscious mutation at a physical, physiological, psychological, and neurological level, allowing practitioners to maintain meditative states of consciousness (Samadhi) for prolonged durations. These meditative states are essential for the Hindu religion. Some short-duration experiences of these

Regarding ādiśaiva the Kāmikāgama says that they are born in the family of sages such as Kauśika who were initiated directly by Śiva immediately after the creation of the world. Therefore, they are qualified to undertake all the rites [as prescribed in the āgamas] such as consecration, installation [in the temple], worship in public and expounding the [āgamas] (vyākhyāna). The Kāraṇāgama and the Santānāgama also state that only the ādiśaiva is qualified to do these rites and if the rites are done by others it will bring only calamity[.

meditative states are studied by contemporary western scientists in various groups of meditators, martial artists, and athletes. Hindu spiritual processes and initiation by the enlightened Guru make the attainment of these meditative states of consciousness accessible to every practitioner, and not just to an accomplished group of people. As per the Hindu religious laws prescribed in Veda-Agamas (scriptures), only the ordained supreme pontiff (Guru or Gurumahasannidanam) can initiate their native Hindu community members into the practice of these yogic sciences, lifestyle sciences, knowledge system sciences, and sciences of ritual.

United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Article 8 (2) declares, "States shall provide effective mechanisms for prevention of, and redress for: (a) Any action which has the aim or effect of depriving them of their integrity as distinct peoples, or of their cultural values or ethnic identities;". Killing the Gurus (or Gurumahasannidanam), or breaking the lineage of Gurus, irreversibly disrupts the continuation of the spiritual tradition to the next generation, destroys the distinct identity of indigenous Hindu traditions, and leads to their permanent destruction. This is how the majority of the 8,000 of the 10,000 indigenous enlightenment ecosystems were destroyed, and less than 2,000 of them remain now. The distinct religious practices of the ASMT are extremely vulnerable to this irreversible destruction. Just like the destruction of Lamas in Buddhism is the destruction of Buddhism as the yogic bodies of the Lamas are the repository of Buddhahood, Hinduism in its entirety and not just some traditions of Hinduism will permanently be destroyed after the extermination of the lineages of the Gurus.

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group, as such:

• (a) Killing members of the group;
• (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
• (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
• (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
• (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Destruction of the lineage of Gurus does not only destroy the religion but also the entire Hindu society in totality. The Agama scriptures are voluminous. As per Hindu scriptural records, there are 10,000 Agamas for the ASMT alone. In totality, all Agamas and sourcebook scriptures of Hinduism put together are more than 100 million, of which only 20 million remain today.

"Centuries of history of discrimination, exploitation, dispossession, and colonization have led to the loss of traditional knowledge. Traditional knowledge is under threat and is being misused and misappropriated …"

"Indigenous peoples' traditional knowledge has been developed over generations through daily life practices and a close understanding of local environments. It can offer valuable responses to climate change, food insecurity, reducing inequalities and other challenges that we are trying to resolve …"

18th Session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII)

The mastery over the magnanimous volume of Veda-Agamic scriptures is achieved by specializing in a branch of Veda-Agama scripture over multiple generations. Hindu sects and schools specialize and systematically practice a particular branch (Shakha) of the Veda-Agamas and continue the tradition over thousands of years. It is considered nearly impossible for a single group to master the Veda-Agamas (Hindu scriptures) in its entirety, and thus each Hindu sect or school (Shakha or Sampradaya) is interdependent on other schools (Shakha) for practice and application of the entirety of Hinduism. The loss of one lineage, or school (Shakha or Sampradaya) is not just a loss for the respective Hindu sect but entire Hinduism. Therefore, the persecution of a Hindu Guru is not limited to the destruction of His lineage alone but of an integral body of Hinduism in its entirety.

The destruction of the lineage of Gurus destroys several thousands of years of scholarly research and practice of the Veda-Agamas. The Veda-Agamas is not just the repository of ancient spiritual and religious knowledge, they are a repository of a phenomenal volume of ancient Human knowledge and expertise, in various fields such as State Policies, Politics & Statecraft, Law , Banking & Accounting, Architecture & Civil Engineering, Performing Arts, Medicine , Surgery, Botany, Chemistry and Metallurgy, Music, Agriculture, Astrology , Shipbuilding , Manufacturing, Food sciences, etc. The entire Hindu education is done and supervised by the enlightened Guru. The Hindu knowledge in various fields is unique, unlike their modern counterparts. The Veda Agamas (Hindu scriptures) enable not just excellence in the profession but the attainment of spiritual liberation even through the mere practice of the profession. This is why, for example, the science of archery in Hinduism (Dhanurvidya), does not just deal with archery alone but also with the attainment of liberation. The Acharyas (Hindu scholars and teachers) can transmit some portion of the domain expertise, but only the Guru guides into the science of liberation that is even realized while practicing a particular trade or profession without necessarily mandating additional spiritual practices. The destruction of the Guru's lineage destroys this possibility for every Hindu.

Two such ancient Hindu sampradayas are the Madurai Adheenam of Madurai, Tamil Nadu, and the Thondai Mandala Adheenam of Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu. Thondaimandala Aadheenam is one of the oldest Shaivite Mutts (monasteries), established originally by Paramashiva Himself, in the form of Adi Nathar, and 5000 years ago . Madurai Aadheenam was established by incarnations of Paramashiva and Devi themselves as Lord Sundareshwara and His consort Divine Mother Meenakshi.

In 1817, the colonial government of Bharat enacted the Madras Regulation VII and nationalized temples of minority Hindu sects taking over their wealth and assets. However, in 1840, Christian missionaries lobbied and forced the government to issue a directive to return the Hindu temples to their trustees. By 1845, the responsibility of the management of temples was returned to traditional trustees and in the case of prominent temples to Mutts (monasteries). The State Board of Revenue, however, supervised the administration of large temples. In 1863, the Religious Endowments Act was enacted which completely handed over temple administration to the trustees from the State and subsequently, the government played little or no role in supervising them. Trustees ran the temple following the tenets applicable to the temple. The colonial government also recognized the sovereignty of the heads of Hindu monasteries – for example on 3 Jan 1893 the Guru Maha Sannidhanam of Madurai Aadheenam was conferred with the title of Rao Bahadur , a title given to Kings by the British Empire, and also had sovereign immunity from

arrests and appearances in the court. Thus, the religious rights of Hindus to manage their temples and religious succession rights were by large protected during colonial rule.

The British colonial era in Bharat was brutal, wherein the government created several man-made famines that killed more than 35 million people in Bharat by starvation and starvation-related diseases. It was a silent holocaust forgotten just like much of the Hindu Holocaust. June 1918, the Spanish flue spread in Bharat with at a scale and severity not to be seen again until the next 101 years with the onset of COVID-19 pandemic. The famines, the Spanish flu, the cruel-andinhumane government policies had completely broken the backbone and spirit of the people of Bharat. In 1914, during World War 1, the British colonial empire in Bharat promised to give selfgovernance (Swaraj) at the end of the war like Canada or Australia with the status of "dominion" within the British Empire. Bharat supported the British Colonial Empire during the First World War with 1.3 million soldiers and vast sums of money collected from a country completely broken by the famines inflicted by the colonial government and Spanish flu. 11 November 1918 Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany abdicated on 9 November and Germany signed an armistice on, ending the World War I. Contrary to fulfilling their commitment of giving self-governance to the people of Bharat, the British colonial government chose to reimpose the wartime era prohibitions on freedom of the press freedom of assembly freedom of speech and declared Martial Law.

On 13 April 1919, the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, also known as the Amritsar massacre, took place. A large but peaceful crowd had gathered at the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar to celebrate the Hindu festival of Baisakhi (solar new year) which is celebrated in several states of Bharat. A British Brigadier-General Dyer surrounded the Bagh with his soldiers and decided to punish the people for breaking the martial law which did not allow more than five people to assemble. He did not order the people to disperse, did not even fire a warning shot, he just ordered his soldiers to assemble at the gates – the sole entrance and exit to the garden and to open fire on these unarmed civilians. The troops kept on firing until their ammunition was exhausted – a total of 1656 bullets.

• 27. During an inquiry, Brigadier-General Dyer even boasted that not even a single bullet was wasted because he had surrounded all the exits. At least 379 people were killed and over 1,200 other people were injured of whom 192 were seriously injured. The people were left to die in the hot April sun for 24 hours. Those still alive or wailing piteously for water were ordered to crawl on their bellies on a side lane. There was an uproar during a colonial government commission of inquiry in the House of Commons which censured Brigadier-General Dyer, but the House of Lords did not only exonerated him but also praised him with some members of parliament addressing him as the man who saved Bharat. Brigadier-General Dyer was awarded a quarter of a million pounds and a bejeweled sword. The Human rights of citizens were grossly violated during the British colonial era. Despite this, the religious rights of Hindus to manage their temples and religious succession rights were by large much more protected during colonial rule than after the upcoming era after World War one, when the colonial government created the Diarchal form of Government.
• 28. Diarchy is a form of government characterized by co-rule, with two people ruling a polity together either lawfully or de facto, by collusion and force. The leaders of such a system are usually known as co-rulers. Historically, diarchy particularly referred to the system of shared rule in British Bharat established by the Government of Bharat Acts 1919 and 1935, which devolved some powers to local councils, which had included native Hindu representation under the Hindu Councils Act 1892. This group of native Hindu representatives were extremely intolerant towards Hinduism and started the destruction of Hindu temples. The anti-Hindu sentiment amongst the political circles that still prevail in the entire Hindu subcontinent took roots during this era.

• 29. In 1917, following the Bolshevik Revolution the State of the USSR deprived the formerly official church of its status of legal personhood, the right to own property or to teach religion, especially in schools. During 1921 – 1928, there was another anti-religious campaign against churches and believers by the State of USSR, wherein the State terrorized certain religious sects with policies to deprive them of legal means of existence aimed at the elimination of most religions and its replacement with the atheistic world view of the state. Though the State of USSR never made it illegal to be a believer or to have religion, the activities of this campaign were often veiled under other pretexts that the state invoked or invented to justify State-sponsored religious persecution. The Bolshevik revolution and developments that followed were much admired by several Hindu political leaders of the time, some of whom even went to Moscow, and met Russian leaders to greet them following the revolution. Similar anti-religion laws were implemented in Bharat during this same period. On 18 December 1922, during the colonial diarchy, the Hindu Religious Endowment bill was introduced by the government of Madras Presidency led by the Chief Minister, Ramarayaningar, to bring all religious institutions under State control. Ramarayaningar was one of the first native Hindu Chief Ministers ruling the State of Madras Presidency under the Government of Bharat Acts 1919 and the Hindu Councils Act 1892. In 1925, the bill was enacted as "The Madras Religious and Charitable Endowments Act (1925)". Similar to the anti-religion campaigns in the USSR, wherein the State of the USSR made policies that suppressed and persecuted various forms of Christianity to different extents only depending upon State interests, the anti-religion laws in Bharat, targeted certain religious communities more. Immediately after the Act (1925) came into force, Muslim and Christian communities massively protested, challenging the legislature citing that it was not validly passed, and forced the antireligion act of 1925 to be redrafted. The act was redrafted as "The Madras Hindu Religious and Endowments Act (1927)" to be made applicable only to Hindu places of worship, it also excluded few other religious sects for which the State had a different set of laws allowing these religious communities to self-regulate their religious institutes and temples. Some Hindu religious leaders, that had their religious institutes out of the purview of the Act, though expressed apprehensions on some of its provisions, also supported the bill. Religious institutes of minority Hindu sects, such as the Adi Shaivite Minority Tradition (ASMT) that were unable to escape falling into the

ASMT (Adi Shaiva Minority Tradition) is the sect of Hinduism which worships Lord Paramashiva, as per the Hindu scriptures (Vedagamas). The most ancient Agamas - the Kāmikāgama, known to be more than 60,000 years old mentions that Ādiśaivites are born in the family of sages such as Kauśika who were initiated directly by Śiva (Paramashiva)

ambit of the Act were nationalized and forcibly brought under State control to be headed by a politically nominated state executive officer called the Commissioner of the Hindu Religious Endowment Board.

• 30. The political leaders that ruled the Madras Presidency, such as Panaganti Ramarayaningar (1920- 26), during the colonial rule of Bharat and such as Karunanidhi subsequently after the independence of Bharat, had antagonistic views on indigenous Hindu culture such as Hindu feminism, Hindu worship of divine as Mother, indigenous Gurukul education, and traditional decentralized selfgovernance institutes that administered villages and temples. As the Chief Minister of Madras Presidency, Panaganti Ramarayaningar banned the distribution of poems on indigenous forms of governance, Hindu education, Hindu feminism, women empowerment, and religious freedom.

• 31. The cause of Hindu antagonistic views of Hindu leaders of the pre-colonial (and even postindependence era) such as Ramarayaningar or Karunanidhi can be understood by a study of the setting under which they grew. From the 1840s up until 1925, the Hindu State under the colonial government evolved a pseudo-identity framework which faultily generalized the demographic census data into what was called castes, a Spanish word "casta", used to mean a "lineage, tribe or class". This categorization of colonial citizens based on a faultily generalized identity that has resulted in violence is a global phenomenon as seen in the Rwanda Genocide which killed 500,000 to 800,000 Tutsis with total estimated death at 1,100,000. The origin of this classification both in Bharat and Rwanda was not native to these countries, but a colonial trope. The Rwanda Genocide that involved Hutu and Tutsi people, for example, was caused by a faulty classification system developed during a colonial census. The definitions of "Hutu" and "Tutsi" people have changed through time and location. Even during colonial times under Belgian rule, social structures were fluid throughout Rwanda. The Tutsi aristocracy or elite was distinguished from Tutsi commoners, and wealthy Hutu were often indistinguishable from upper-class Tutsi. When the Belgian colonists conducted censuses, they wanted to identify the people throughout Rwanda-Burundi according to a simple classification scheme. They defined "Tutsi" as anyone owning more than ten cows (a sign of wealth) or with the physical feature of a longer nose, or a longer neck, commonly associated with the Tutsi. The Hutu and Tutsi spoke the same language, practiced the same religion, and participated in the same government, and having lived together for at least 400 immediately after the creation of the world, and therefore they are qualified to undertake all the rites as prescribed in the āgamas, such as consecration, installation in the temple, worship in public and expounding the āgamas (vyākhyāna). The Kāraṇāgama and the Santānāgama also state that only the Ādiśaiva is qualified to do these customary rites. The Adishaivas run and administer ancient temples and monasteries, some of which are more than 3000 years old.

years, had considerable intermingling and intermarrying, such that ethnographers claim that the two groups "cannot be called distinct ethnic groups". Rather, the two terms in the contemporary setting merely referred to a colonial pseudo-identity framework in which the Hutu were primarily farmers and the Tutsi were primarily herdsmen. In a similar way, until the colonialization of Bharat, the word caste in the present context was unknown to not just Bharat but also the world. Until 1569, the Spanish word casta implying "lineage, tribe or class", did not even exist in English, and was used only to describe mixed-race individuals in New Spain. In 1844, the word "caste" in Bharat meant indigenous social structures that were seen by foreign evangelicals as "a wonderful institution" of guilds "merging in the wisdom and craft of man" . In 1871, the word "caste" was used by the colonial government to force-fit people groups in a pseudo-identity framework based on surname, appearances, facial features, etc. The 1871 census data was used to create legislatures such as the Criminal Tribes Act (1871) that made prejudicial negative stereotypes, which arbitrarily declared any person a criminal by the very nature of his birth in a certain people's group, or by his professing a certain surname. The Criminal Tribes Act (CTA 1871) deprived several people groups of their inalienable universal human right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty (UN UDHR Article 11). While the four Varnas that are defined based on Karmas (actions motivated by individual worldview and pursuits of life) and Gunas (activism, that is, number of active working hours per day) are a form of self-declaration and subjective fluid classification, and the 3000 Jatis are endogamous people groups with 25,000 Upjatis that include exogamous Gotra groups, the 1871 census and later literature faultily generalized the 25,000 people groups into a force-fitted classification using the same verbiage as of four Varnas which was contrary to both practical indigenous lifestyle experience and written scriptures. This faulty generalization is described by William Robert Cornish, who supervised colonial government census operations in the Madras Presidency in 1871, as "Whether there was ever a period in which the Hindus were composed of four classes is exceedingly doubtful". Such faulty generalizations coupled with

negative stereotypes were applied to various people groups such as to Hindu scholars and priests who were presumed to be nepotistic by the virtue of their birth, surname, or profession , and similarly, all Hindu monastic orders (Sanyasis) were presumed to be criminal by birth as per CTA(1871). Though the fight against discrimination, is a worldwide cause, as much as in the Hindu sub-continent, the faulty generalization of Hindu social constructs coupled with negative stereotyping of Hindu communities had a severe irreparable negative effect in multiple dimensions depriving various people groups of their basic human rights in front of the law by mere definition. The pre-colonial indigenous education system was widespread imparting education to every person even in the remotest village, it was economical and inclusive, catering to boys and girls of all sections of society with as many as 70% of students being from impoverished communities that now are recognized as OBCs, SCs, and STs. The precolonial indigenous gurukul education system encouraged harmony amongst all social communities by recognizing the dignity of labor and respect for all professions, for example, the second verse from an ancient treatise on agriculture says, "Despite being learned of four Vedas (core Hindu scriptures) if a Brahmin considers agriculture inferior he is bound to be stuck in a cycle of poverty." The Hindu scriptures taught to respect each human being without discrimination as not just an equal human being but a divine manifestation of God - "Whether a woman or a man, a Cāņdala or a high-born Dvija, there is absolutely no discrimination in the Cakra. Everyone here is considered like Śiva (Primordial Hindu Divinity)" . Despite the inclusive nature of pre-colonial indigenous education and fluid nature of pre-colonial indigenous social structures, the Chief Minister of Madras Presidency, Ramarayaningar, a strong advocate of westernization parroted a colonial trope in one of his most cited interviews stating – "What did the Brahmans do for our education in the five thousand years before Britain came? I remind you: They asserted their right to pour hot lead into the ears of the low-caste man who should dare to study books. All learning

belonged to them, they said." The dangerous colonial caste constructs as seen in the Rwanda Genocide are also the basis for depriving Hindus of their religious rights, marginalization of various Hindu people groups, and the destruction of Hindu temples and monasteries. The indigenous Gurukul education system were not limited to imparting spiritual and religious knowledge, they contributed a phenomenal volume of ancient Human knowledge and expertise, in various field such as State Policies, Politics & Statecraft, Law, Banking & Accounting, Architecture & Civil Engineering, Performing Arts, Medicine, Surgery, Botany, Chemistry and Metallurgy , Music, Agriculture, Astrology, Shipbuilding, Manufacturing, Food sciences , giving breakthrough contributions to humanity such as – knowledge, and application of zero, binomial theorem (200BCE), calculations with zero , positive numbers, negative numbers, generalization of Fibonacci identity, Euler's four-square identity, Lagrange's identity , knowledge, and application of infinity (300BCE), average values (1150 CE), fractions (628 CE), arithmetical and geometrical progressions, plane geometry, angular dimensions, solid geometry, simple, quadratic, simultaneous, and indeterminate equations , Baudhayana-Pythagoras Theorem , Madhava–Leibniz infinite series for the value of pi (Π) , trigonometry, infinite series for calculating value of a sine function, Nilakanta-Taylor series (1685 CE), Govindaswami-Newton-Gauss interpolation (1670 CE), calculus . Somayaji 1450 CE), Gravity (1114 CE), freely available organic antibiotic remedies , free and affordable healthcare, vaccination procedures, surgical procedures including plastic surgery, etc. The State of the Republic of Bharat however, considers indigenous heritage, knowledge, and acumen in poor light. In Bharat, the interference of the State is not limited to Hindu religion and Hindu temples alone, but various fields like business and even science. C V Raman, the first Hindu and first Asian to win Nobel Price, in one of his lectures about a series of experiments that required platinum, remarked that he had found his first sliver of platinum, when he, in a fit of rage against the government's ill-conceived policies on science, had smashed his Bharat Ratna medal (highest civil honor). Raman was outraged at what he felt was the government's use of power to grant funds as a means to establish control over research institutes. In his twilight years, he said in frustration, "My life has been an utter failure. I was the first Asian to bring home the Nobel Prize in the scientific field. I thought I would bring true science in our country." Similarly, the interference of government on the economy was devastating, often termed – License Raj – referring to the red tape of the State that hindered the setup and running of businesses in Bharat between 1947 and 1990. During this era, based on political interest , the banking sector in Bharat was nationalized. This brought down their profitability and viability. Five decades later, the government was forced to pump in INR 2.5 trillion to counter the effect of several scams that had resulted in a high level of non-performing assets standing at around INR 7.5 trillion. The government had also nationalized the airline industry. Before the nationalization of the airline company Air Bharat, its owner JRD Tata would take interest in minute details like cleanliness and even clean dirty toilets inside aircraft by himself to set an example for his staff to follow, after nationalization over decades of destruction the airline gathered a total of INR 500 billion in debt, with the government determined to sell it off and privatize it again by December 2019. Similarly, the government had nationalized various companies and organizations which over decades underperformed for various reasons linked to the economy in general and also because of red tape, and lack of accountability. The same is the fate of Hindu temples that were nationalized by the State governments of Bharat. Madurai Temple for example used to offer Anna Daan (free food as a charitable service) to everyone irrespective of their status, religion, or caste. After State take over of the temple, not just Anna Daan several important services were stopped. In 1990, Bharat faced a severe balance of payments crisis and as a part of a bailout deal with the IMF, Bharat was forced to pledge 20 tonnes of gold to the Union Bank of Switzerland and 47 tonnes to the Bank of England and Bank of Japan and subsequently, liberalized the economy ending the red-tapism to some extent. Despite the lessons learned from the past, several political groups in the State of the Republic of Bharat, are determined to nationalize and usurp ancient wealth and gold of several Hindu temples and loot it in the guise of greater interest of the nation – the prime example being the gold monetization scheme planned for the Padmanabhaswamy Temple – the largest collection of items of gold and precious stones in the recorded history of the world. Though the State of the Republic of Bharat got political independence in 1947, and economic liberalization in 1990, there is a long way to go, especially in terms of religious rights more so for minority Hindu religious sects.

• The Hindu Religious Endowment Act (1925) set the precedent for several later anti-religion laws such as the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment (HR & CE) Act, the policy of the incumbent state of Tamil Nadu. Even today, Hindu educational institutions, temples, religious traditions are subject to State subjugation and control. But a radical change was introduced in the legislation by way of Act XII of 1935, through which temples could be notified by the government and their administration took over by the State Executive through the Hindu Religious Endowment Board.

• 19 July 1917, at a conference in Coimbatore, presided over by Panagati Ramarayaningar, the four associations got together to form the South Hindu Liberal Federation, unofficially known as the Justice Party. A vast majority of governments that ruled over the Madras Presidency (and postindependence Tamil Nadu) were formed by the Justice Party. The leaders of the Justice Party such as the Chief Minister Panagati Ramarayaningar were known to vocally express their anti-Hindu prejudices which attracted political leaders from other parties such as E. V. Ramasamy who was the President of the Madras Presidency Congress Committee since 1922. The Congress Party lost several elections to the Justice Party, and E. V. Ramasamy left the Congress in 1925 citing discrimination. Subsequently, E. V. Ramasamy joined the Justice Party. Anti-Hinduism was a major feature of E. V. Ramasamy's public addresses, this led to him being consulted by Justice Party seniors and in 1939, E.V. Ramasamy was declared as the head of the Justice Party.

• Though Hindu Scriptures taught to respect each human being without discrimination as not just an equal human being but also as a divine manifestation of God - "खी वाथ िुरिः िण्डचण्डालो वा मिजोसिः । चक्रे ऽस्त्रस्मन्नेव भेिोऽस्त्रि सववमशवसिाः स्मृताः ॥९७॥" verse 97 and "जामतभेिो न चक्रे ऽस्त्रस्मन्सवे मशवसिाः स्मृताः । वेिेऽमि स्त्रस्थतिेवं मि सववमि ब्रह्मा चाव्रतीत्॥१०१॥" verse 101, etc., Kularnava Tantra, 8th Ullasa, E. V. Ramasamy like many other political leaders of the Justice Party and Dravidar Kazhagam stereotyped the Hindu religion and the Sanskrit language as intrinsically exploitative, criminal, and nepotistic .

• As per the colonial government data, the pre-colonial indigenous education system was widespread imparting education to every person even in the remotest village, it was economical and inclusive, catering to boys and girls of all sections of society with as many as 70% of students being from impoverished communities that now are recognized as OBCs, SCs, and STs. Despite this E. V. Ramasamy concocted several racist theories and delivered a massive volume of anti-Hindu speeches, such as claiming that historically in Hinduism education was fundamentally denied especially to impoverished communities.

• In 1886 Rev. John Rathinam had declared that people who had been marginalized and discriminated against for practicing a certain profession or having a certain surname by the classification system used in the Colonial Government Census (1871) should declare themselves as non-Hindus and choose a new identity called – "Dravida" or "Adi-Dravida". In 1944, E.V. Ramasamy created a terrorist organization from the Justice Party naming it as Dravidar Kazhagam, a name chosen after an organization that had been founded by Rev. John Rathinam in the late 1880s. Subsequently, E. V. Ramasamy developed a bizarre alternate world history and anti-Hindu hate literature. For example, although the word "Adi-Dravida" was coined by Rev. John Rathinam in 1886 and never used on the planet earth before that especially in the context that it was presented, E. V. Ramasamy considered his racist ideologies as a fact, but at the same time, E. V. Ramasamy was of the strong opinion that Hindus were wrong to believe themselves as Hindus as the religion was imaginary and no religion identified as Hinduism ever existed on planet earth. In his Presidential Address at the Justice Confederation in 1940, he asserted that those who thought of themselves as Hindus should either be converted or declare themselves as "Adi Dravida". E. V. Ramasamy preferred referring to Hinduism pejoratively as "Brahminism", a word coined by him to blame Brahmins (Hindu priests and scholars) for the discriminatory classification done by the Colonial Government Census (1871).
• E. V. Ramasamy studied and authored a massive amount of hate literature targeting Hinduism. Even today the DK terrorists publish several of his books and speeches where they pejoratively refer to Hindu priests as money grabbers, scandalous, stubborn, fraudsters, black magicians, non-Tamil, aliens, etc.
• E. V. Ramasamy famously said, "If you see a snake and a Brahmin (Hindu priest) on the road, kill the Brahmin (Hindu priest) first." On August 31, 1959, he stated, "' Who do you hate? The Brahmin or Brahminism? What is Brahminism?' – for questions such as these, my reply is

Brahminism came from Brahmins, and hence it is the Brahmins who should be annihilated. It is like asking whether you hate thievery or the thief. It is because one is a thief, one indulges in thievery. When someone says he hates thievery, it means he hates the thief, too, doesn't it? Thus, [my stand is] Brahminism grew out of the Brahmin and I am striving to annihilate the root." In his last ever speech, on December 19, 1973, he declared that he had been striving for a long to annihilate God, (Hindu) religion, Gandhi, and the Brahmin (Hindu priests). The hate against Brahmins (Hindu priests) and their marginalization from politics, government jobs, medicine, etc. caused an exodus from first to private-sector jobs in other states such as Karnataka and later out of Bharat, particularly to the Silicon Valley.

• 39. The terrorist organizations founded by E.V. Ramasamy such as Dravidar Kazhagam (hence referred to as 'DK') and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (hence referred to as 'DMK') engaged in various criminal activities such as assault, especially for carrying Hindu religious symbols. The DK/DMK have several criminal cases pending against them such as on 9 May 2007, terrorists of DK/DMK burnt three people alive with all 17 accused being acquitted by the court.

The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu from the DMK (the political wing of the Dravidar Kazhagam) Karunanidhi with his son M. Stalin during his birthday publicly ridiculing a boy in a get-up resembling that of a Hindu priest.

• 40. On 23rd and 24th , January 1971 Salem conference by DK, E. V. Ramasamy and DK/DMK terrorists garlanded Hindu Deities with footwear, hit Deities with footwear, broke Deities, created morphed nude pictures of Hindu Deities, burnt Deities, and delivered speeches inciting hatred against Hindu priests, Hindu Deities, Hindu spiritual leaders, Hindu texts, and the Sanskrit language. In this conference, the DK passed ten resolutions demanding: legalizing hate speech directed towards Hindu religion, destruction of Hindu temples, Deities and religion, destruction of the Supreme Court of Bharat, conversion of all Hindus to declare Tamil Nadu as a State free from Hinduism by the time of government census of 1980, etc. The DMK government banned the circulation of any media journal that criticized these resolutions.

Some archival copies of the surviving newspapers captured the happenings of the 23 Jan 1971 conference. (LEFT) A cartoon of the leader of DK, E. V. Ramasamy with a slipper hitting at the Deities of Lord Rama with Karunanidhi (Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu from DMK) clapping alongside the State police (CENTER) A journal published by the DK outragenously portraying Hindu Deities in a derrogatory and vulgar manner engaging in zoophilia. (RIGHT) Tamil Daily newspaper - Dinamani – dated 26 Jan 1971 carrying the news about the conference.

• 41. The DMK government acted on these policies of the DK, such as in 1975, the State absurdly claimed that the ancient ASMT language – Sanskrit – was a source of nepotism in society and thus changed the language of ASMT Temple rituals via a notification and altered the HR&CE Scheme in OA No.2 of 1973 dated 10 Oct 1975 appointing a government executive to control religious and financial matters of the monastery and associated temples. The DMK made several legislations to extend government control on the Hindu religion by extending their control over the already nationalized Hindu temples. The DMK government made long-term plans for enacting these resolutions, such as alienating the Hindu sects from Hinduism and rechristening them as Dravida DK/DMK compatible religions. For this, the State of Tamil Nadu headed by the DMK has been grooming Guru Maha Sannidhanams, such as the Dharmapuram Guru Maha Sannidhanam that are friendly to the party to declare Shaivism as a religion separate from Hinduism. This is not unique to DMK Tamil Nadu and is similar to how the CPC has been grooming Lamas for decades. Like E. V. Ramasamy who claimed no religion named Hinduism exists, even in 2020 DK/DMK leaders make

similarly absurd and demeaning political remarks such as claiming that the Sanatana Hindu religion was created 200 years ago.

• 42. March 20, 1938, when Germany was under the rule of the Nazi Government, E. V. Ramasamy in a magazine named Kudiyarasu wrote, "The Jews are only interested in themselves, and nobody else. They somehow contrive to have the rulers in their pocket, participate in governance and conspire to torture and suck the lives out of other citizens in order that they live (in comfort). Are they not comparable to the Brahmins who too have no responsibility but have the rulers in their pocket, have entered the ruling dispensation and been lording over (all of us)?" Taking a note from the success of Nazi propaganda movies, E. V. Ramasamy inspired Karunanidhi (the future Chief Minister from the DMK) to make movies that would mainstream anti-Hindu sentiments in Tamil Nadu. Along these lines, Karunanidhi, a scriptwriter for Tamil movies, wrote several movies that as per his own admission to a newspaper, had successfully stereotyped Hindu monks and Gurus as "the hoodwinking of those adorning the sacred ochre robes (காவியுசடதாரிகளின் கபட நாடகம்)", "brainwashers and destroyers of the life of illiterates (பாமர மக்களின் வாழ்சவயும்அறிசவயும் பாழாக்கி வருகின் ற,)", "Swindlers of Money (பணக்வகாள்சள அடிக்கின் ற பகல்லவடக்காரர்கசள)". Karunanidhi gave examples of such movies in the interview with the most notable movie being – Parashakti (பராைக்தி), and others such as Valaikari (லவசலக்காரி) a movie with a courtroom scene that justified the assassination of Hindu monk, Tukku Madai (தூக்குலமசட), Swarga Vaasal (வைார்க்கவாைல்), Manohara (மலனாகரா), etc.

Known as one of the most controversial anti-Hindu movies, it has received critical acclaim, is widely celebrated, and has a cult status in Bharat, it premiered on 17 Oct 1952. The film gave DMK the necessary stimulus to overthrow its opponents in elections. The dialogues of the movie were extremely popular and memorizing these became a "must for aspirant (DMK) political orators".

The film portrayed the main villain – a Hindu priest attempting to rape the female protagonist in a temple of Devi Parasakthi (Mother Goddess/Primordial Hindu divinity) with the stone Deity of Devi Parasakthi witnessing the rape as a mute spectator without protecting the victim in a very provocative scene. The movie is famous for its inflammatory and hateful dialogues on Hindu practices especially the worship of the divine as a mother.

Known as one of the most outrageous yet successful anti-Semitic films ever made, it premiered on 8 Sep 1940 received rave reviews, earning the top award. Viewed by over 20 million people when the population of Germany was about 70 million, it was known as the number one film of the time. The movie was successful abroad gathering 1 million viewers in France.

The main villain a state treasurer was portrayed as an "unscrupulous, power-hungry and a shameless seducer" of Jewish origin who raped the female protagonist, tortured her father and fiancée. There were reports of anti-Jewish violence after audiences viewed the film.

• 43. E. V. Ramasamy and Karunanidhi created an ecosystem of hate towards Hinduism, Hindu monks, Hindu nuns, Hindu Gurus, Hindu deities, and the Sanskrit language, which has normalized its existence in Tamil Nadu by its presence spanning the past ninety years. The most vulnerable victims of the hate targeted against Hindu monks and Hindu Gurus were the Hindu nuns – the Rudrakanyas and Devadasis. The DK/DMK owned media and terrorist organizations dehumanized Hindu nuns that worshiped Devi Parasakthi (Mother Goddess/Primordial Hindu divinity) as "witches", "prostitutes", "cult worshippers", (child) "sex slaves". After independence, the State of Tamil Nadu passed legislation criminalizing the tradition of Hindu nuns. This bill, stereotyped, dehumanized and marginalized the Hindu nuns by addressing them as prostitutes of Hindu Deities. The bill was opposed by Hindu nuns but enacted and made into law under the pressure of E. V. Ramasamy who had suggested the bill be introduced as a private bill to avoid confrontation with the Hindu nuns. Colonial views on Hindu nuns were highly subversive, leading to their socio-economic deprivation and exploitation, the Tamil Nadu bill reinforced the colonial stigma around the tradition undermining the human rights of Hindu nuns. Though a few hundred years ago, Hindu nuns (Rudrakanyas) administered all major Hindu temples of Tamil Nadu, as of 2021, not even 100 Rudrakanyas may be found in the entire state.
• 44. The control of the DK/DMK on the politics of the State of Tamil Nadu was profound. Karunanidhi has been the Chief Minister of the State of Tamil Nadu - for almost two decades over five terms between 1969 and 2011. Karunanidhi had started his career as a scriptwriter based on which several movies were made from 1947 to 2011. From his experience in films, he knew the art of molding public opinion. He imparted this knowledge to his elder sister's son Murasoli Maran. Just like his uncle, apart from being a politician, Murasoli Maran was a journalist and scriptwriter for films. Karunanidhi's and Murasoli Maran together groomed Murasoli Maran's son Kalanithi Maran to develop the Sun Network Group (World's biggest Tamil media conglomerate Karunanidhi as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and Dayanidhi Maran (elder son of Murasoli Maran) as the Government of Bharat Union Minister of Communications and Information Technology provided the political patronage and several favorable circumstances for Kalanithi Maran to grow the Sun TV network and become a billionaire media baron. The Sun Network owns television channels, newspapers, weeklies, FM radio stations, DTH services, and a movie production house.
• 45. From 1996 to 2001, Kalanithi Maran monopolized the Television industry in Tamil Nadu through Sumangali Cable Vision. During this period, Kalanithi's granduncle Karunanidhi was the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Kalanithi had realized the need to get into the cable distribution business to protect his channels' popularity and DMK's influence on the citizens of Tamil Nadu. Through Sumangali Cable Vision, Kalanithi took over existing cable television operators and established a monopoly in Chennai and other major cities of Tamil Nadu using State patronage and violence by DK/DMK terrorists. This monopolization was brought about using murder and street violence. Johnson D Kennedy, president of the Chennai Metro Cable Operators Association, described this monopoly in an interview, "SCV and Kal Cables (a subsidiary of Sumangali Cable Vision) had the monopoly of the state, so the Sun Group channels became number one". With such monopolies, which still operate in the State of Tamil Nadu the DK/DMK attempted to establish an ideological monopoly in the minds of citizens of Tamil Nadu even when the DMK was not part of the ruling government. As of 2021, the anti-Hindu ideologies of DK/DMK are widespread through movies, television, and recently through Hinduphobic online web series. Through the cable TV distribution monopoly, DMK was able to exercise ideological control on the content of other TV channels.
• 46. The DMK is amongst the most corrupt political party in the world. The grandnephew of Karunanidhi – Dayanidhi Maran – the Government of Bharat Union Minister of Communications and Information Technology from the year 2004 and 2009 from the DMK was involved in two major scams during this period –

(1) The 2G Spectrum Scam – which as the Comptroller and Auditor General (The federal auditor of Bharat) report of 2010 resulted in a revenue loss to the public exchequer equivalent to 30% of the GDP of State of Tamil Nadu.

(2) The Telephone Scam – where the minster, Dayanidhi Maran, had set up a private telephone exchange with 764 telephone lines at his residence to facilitate illegal uplink of SUN TV data, causing a loss to state-run telecom majors BSNL and MTNL, with a larger misappropriation of State resources for the actual infrastructural investment for the lines, and gave Sun TV an unfair advantage.

The daughter of Karunanidhi was arrested for investigation for her involvement in the 2G spectrum scam.

• 47. In April 2002, the daughter and wife of Karunanidhi had come to visit the ASMT leader His Divine Holiness THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM – during one of the two-day meditation programs seeking His blessings for healing her father, the DMK head Karunanidhi of some ailment. His Divine Holiness blessed and gave sacred ash, but while doing so upfront told them that the Hindu

temples in the State of Tamil Nadu were in an extremely sorry state because of the anti-Hindu policies DMK head Karunanidhi. Ever since this incident His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda was spied upon by the Intelligence Department Tamil Nadu State Police. In September 2009, His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda had started a massive people's movement to revive Hindu temples where Hindu Deities were taken on chariots to more than 10 million people to bless them253 . Karunanidhi was extremely wary of the meteoric rise in popularity of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. On 30 December 2009 Karunanidhi had inaugurated the Chennai Book Fair254 and on the 10 January 2010, the last day of the book fair he inaugurated the Chennai Sangamam festival255 both attended by a modest gathering. However, just on the opposite side of the road256 of the Chennai Book Fair, His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda delivered a religious discourse to more than fifty thousand participants who patiently attended the entire program sitting for more than 8 hours.257 A State Intelligence department officer attended the program and informed the secretary of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda that His Divine Holiness was being officially noted in government intelligence records as the "largest crowd-pulling Hindu guru in the history of Tamil Nadu". From 2 March 2010, several attempts to assassinate His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda were made by the DK/DMK militants, compelling His Divine Holiness to seek refuge by 2018. 258 In April 2021, the DMK won the elections and came to power the sixth time, and formed the current ruling government of the State of Tamil Nadu.259

• 48. The civilizing mission was a political rationale for military intervention and for colonization purporting to facilitate the modernization and the Westernization of indigenous peoples, especially in the period from the 15th to the 20th centuries. The civilizing mission curtailed the civil rights of the native "subordinates". The world view of the colonial oppressors was such that they found civil rights and particularly rights of women in native traditions immoral and subversive, and they responded by criminalizing these rights.
• 49. This can be demonstrated through several instances. In terms of women's dis-empowerment, the colonial rule in India, disenfranchised women from their property rights (Stri-Dhan: exclusive Women's Wealth) and inheritance rights. Traditionally as seen in the case of Hindu incarnation Queen Devi Meenakshi, women exercised their right over the throne as per Hindu law by assuming the role of the "Pautrika" - a situation when the female offspring assumes the role as the political heir on a Hindu empire in absence of a suitable male heir. However, during the colonial era, the Hindu Queen of Jhansi Rani Laxmi was not allowed to exercise her rights over the throne, nor any female offspring was to be allowed to do so. After the death of her husband, she was not allowed to continue to remain as queen according to colonial law, as she didn't give birth to a male child.

These examples clearly demonstrate that the colonial civil and criminal laws were meant for oppression and subjugation and not for empowering its subjects.

Deities of 64 Yoginis (a female monastic order) of Hirapur, Orissa, that were mutilated during the years of invasion carry the record of the actual violence also done to people, especially to the Hindu nuns and women, and not just what was done to Deities that were once worshipped.

• 50. The Neo-Hindutva political ideology was articulated by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar in 1923 which today is the main ideological narrative for the right-wing political extremists in India. Vinayak Damodar Savarkar idealized a homogenized society which his proponents could easily subjugate. Savarkar identified the egalitarian principles of the Veda-Agamas (source scriptures of Hinduism) as a threat to his vision of political reconciliation of the entirety of the Indian-sub continent into a homogenized vote bank, over which his proponents could exercise exclusive hegemony.

"Europe is now four thousand years ahead of us. It has conquered three continents! If the Indian nation aims to be like Europe, it should close the 'book' of the ancient era, forget the supremacy of Shruti, Smriti, and the Puranas, keep them safely away in libraries and enter the age of science. Those old tomes are relevant only for telling us what happened in the past. But the science that is objective and experimental alone qualifies as the basis for deciding what is appropriate for today. Modernity contains the essence of all that was useful in past experiences, but the Shruti-Smriti-Puranokta cannot have even a speck of modern knowledge."

• Vinayak Damodar Savarkar (Ideological father of Neo-Hindutva extremists)

https://www.counterview.net/2018/08/indian-nation-should-forget-supremacy.html

"He (Savarkar) said that Pakistan's inhuman and atrocious activities like the kidnapping and rape of Hindustani women can only be stopped when we respond in a like manner (rape)." This leaves no doubt that Savarkar was advocating rape. In this context, prominent thinker Purushottam Agarwal says, "The rapist also hesitates in giving rape a moral status. With the idea of 'Sadgun Vikriti' (virtuous perversion), Savarkar put an end to this hesitation with a single stroke."

• 51. For Savarkar modernity was a euphemism for a kind of neo-colonialism which is very apparent by his emphasis on the need of conquering three continents, which meant oppressing native Hindu traditions. Savarkar rejected the Veda-Agamas as they declared, "अमिंसा िरिॊ धिव", meaning Ahimsa (non-violence) is the ultimate Dharma (existential cosmic law), which was not befitting his vision of establishing exclusive political control over the Indian sub-continent by a civilizing mission in lines of conquering three continents. The Mahaprasthanika Parva of Mahabharat shows how strongly Ahimsa (non-violence) is emphasized as the ultimate principle and why there was a need for rejection of core Hindu principles (Veda-Agamas) by followers of Savarkar.

• 52. The modern counterparts of Savarkar have ensued a cultural genocide on native ethnic minorities which is a continued quest of political reconciliation and homogenization in the guise of "modernity". The native ethnic minorities and traditions of Hinduism, their egalitarian worldview of inclusiveness of multiple gender identities, their principles of equality of genders, their dispassionate protection of women and children rights were the victims. The political proponents of neo-Hindutva, one which rejects the core Hindu principles (Veda-Agamas), use sophisticated media propaganda to realize their goals.
• 53. The spiritual head of the ASMT and two billion Hindus, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism (SPH) Jagat Guru Mahasannidhaanam (JGM) His Divine Holiness (HDH) Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam has revived several female monastic orders of Hinduism which became extinct in the course of two thousand years of the Hindu Holocaust.
• 54. The ASMT explicitly rejects extremism of all types. The extremist militant elements are opposed260 to ASMT's stance when it comes to the rights of women261, including otherwise marginalized Dalit women, and the rights of members of the LGBTQ+ and transgendered communities262 . The neo-Hindutva terrorists despise Hindu women in monastic and priestly roles263 . The spiritual head of ASMT has publicly declared himself to be transcendental gender264 and possessing multiple

gender components. The neo-Hindutva extremists see LGBTQ+ rights as immoral.265 The ASMT freely ordains women into Sannyasa (the monastic order), recognizes 11 genders, and performs specific temple rituals for gay marriage, as per more than 5000-year-old indigenous spiritual scriptures. The ASMT represents one of the most progressive ideologies and is a target of persecution by the neo-Hindutva extremists.

• 55. The Sanyas Sampradaya (monastic order) established by the SPH is unique in that it freely ordains women and allows women to perform temple rituals. Moreover, women constitute the majority of the senior leadership in the SPH's mission, thereby establishing his vision of Hinduism as not just orthodox, but also highly progressive and committed to gender equality. The SPH has also ordained men and women from the Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, and Dalit communities which have been discriminated against and sidelined by the neo-Hindutva ideologies.

Moreover, He has declared that He transcends gender and consequently suffered vicious persecution for his bold progressive stance on LGBTQ issues. By rooting the legitimacy of gays, lesbians, and transgendered people in ancient Hindu scriptures, He is single-handedly changing the LGBTQ discourse in Bharat.
• Because of his outspoken advocacy for the rights of women, transgendered people, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has endured over seventy assassination attempts over the past decade, perpetrated by extremist militant elements opposed to progressive forms of Hindu ideology such as ASMT.
• The extremely vulnerable ASMT female sanyasis (monks), who have taken vows of non-violence and chastity, have suffered a multitude of organized attacks over the past decade because of their visible advocacy of female empowerment in the face of existing patriarchal power structures. ASMT female monks continue to suffer violence at the hands of state police, state judges, and extremist caste supremacist militant elements, and extremist atheist anti-religion militant elements. The horrific violence even includes physical beatings, sexual torture, and brutal rape at the hands of bureaucratic officials.

• Several Hindu temple rituals are traditionally performed only by female monks/priests, but the two thousand years of Hindu Holocaust has today left several Hindu temples with no living Hindu female monks/priests' order to perform these rituals. As alternative male priests enter into the Bhava (a devotional state) of feminine consciousness, adorn female clothes, and offer worship. One such example is the noon worship in Jambukeswarar Temple (Thiruvanaikaval). Hinduism allows male priests to continue and keep the tradition alive in the absence of female monks/priests. But this presents us with the alarming need for the international community to intervene and act now to protect the extremely vulnerable female Hindu monks/priests' religious orders.

• However, the male Hindu monastic order is also not exempted from this persecution as they embody the same progressive ideologies on religious and LGBTQ issues as THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. The male monks of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM thus substitute the role of female monks/priests when required and are thus targeted by neo-Hindutva forces who see these religious practices as taboo.

• In 1956, different States of Bharat were reorganized. This led to the marginalization of people of Tamilian ethnicity in the areas, which were acceded to from the erstwhile Madras Presidency to the new-found Greater Mysore. The city of Bangalore, which itself was founded in 1537, predominantly comprised people of Tamil ethnicity in its demographic composition. Until 1991, people of Tamilian ethnicity formed the largest ethnic group in Bangalore Urban district. The 1991 census, for the first time, recorded a Kannada-speaking majority ahead of the people of Tamil ethnicity in this district.

• On 25 June 1991, the Kaveri Water Tribunal, constituted in 1990, directed the Karnataka state government to release 205 billion ft³ (5.8 km³) of water to Tamil Nadu within a year. Karnataka issued an ordinance to annul the tribunal's award, but this was struck down by the Supreme Court of Bharat. The tribunal's award was subsequently gazetted by the Government of Bharat on 11 December 1991. Neo-Hindutva caste supremacists used this opportunity to incite violence for petty political gains. The very next day, Neo-Hindutva caste supremacist extremists of Karnataka called for a bandh on 13 December 1991 alleging partisan behavior of the Government of Bharat. Leader of the neo-Hindutva caste supremacist extremists declared, "Cauvery(river) is the mother of the Kannadigas, so we cannot give the water to anybody else."

• The next day, 14 December 1991, the neo-Hindutva extremists allegedly roamed the streets of Bangalore carrying sticks, shouting slogans, beating up Tamil laborers. Businesses run by people of Tamil ethnicity, Tamil language movie theatres, and even vehicles with Tamil Nadu license plates were targeted. Soon the riots spread to the Mysore district and other parts of southern Karnataka. Tamil-speaking villagers were driven out and their property confiscated. A curfew of one week was declared under section IPC 144. The violence left more than 17 ethnic Tamils dead. More than 15,000 people of Tamil ethnicity were forced to flee the State.

• Such targeting of ethnic minorities of Tamil origin continued over the decades, incited and multiplied by hate propaganda created by the politically owned neo-Hindutva media. In 2016, in another such protest, two people were killed. Sugata Raju, editorial director of the Asianet group - a BJP owned neo-Hindutva media house which runs Suvarna News, gave an interview where he said, "I am embarrassed. Instead of disseminating information, TV channels became agent provocateurs." As per their admission, though they accepted their role in flaring the violence, they justified their acts, blaming other channels to instigate this by a race for television rating points.

• Around 3200BCE, the Mahabharata war ended in the Hindu sub-continent. At that time, at least 56 nations in Asia gave shelter to more than 10,000 Hindu communities and protected their religious freedom. Gandhara (Afghanistan) until around 600 CE had a significant Hindu population (more than 30%), which as of 2021 CE is less than 1 percent. Pakistan (Kushan Empire 1387 BCE and Maurya Empire 285 BCE) had a significant Hindu population (more than 30%) until 1025 CE, which as of 1998 was less than 2%. The town of Parshu in present-day Iran finds mention in ancient Hindu scriptures as a Hindu city. The five thousand indigenous people of Kalash (Chitral Valley, Pakistan), the only survivors of the ancient tradition in the region though separated over a distance of 10000 KMs, are no different from indigenous Adi Shaivas of Kashmir (North Bharat), or indigenous Adi Shaivas of Tamil Nadu (South Bharat), or the Adi Shaivas of Bali (Indonesia). Although Hinduism is alive as a culture, its political and religious legitimacy was wiped from the geography of Asia, as these nations got invaded by intolerant dictators. These invasions caused a genocide, where per estimates 80 million to 400 million people were killed through massacres, sexual assaults, slavery, and torture. Thousands of temples, universities, and ASMT provided humanitarian support.

libraries were destroyed. The ten thousand Hindu communities which existed by 3200BCE were reduced to three thousand. The colonial era brought a cultural genocide by the destruction of the indigenous education system. After the independence of Bharat, the last refuge for Hindus, the Hindu temples were being destroyed by the State government departments such as the HR&CE. Various State governments of Bharat have nationalized Hindu Temples and politically control Hinduism. The Supreme Court of Bharat has made three judgments directing the State governments to withdraw themselves from the administration of Hindu Temples. This has not remedied the situation and the State governments in Bharat continue to control and administer more than 400,000 temples of the country. Various State governments of Bharat use vexatious litigations to take over Hindu temples, where they misappropriate temple funds, misappropriate temple land, kidnap and traffic worshipped Hindu Deities, and destroy temple heritage and religious structures using heavy earthmovers. Where a few thousand years ago Hinduism and indigenous Hindu traditions flourished in 56 nations spanning over 60 million km², post-colonial era, Hinduism in its glory survived only in a few cities, which Lord Paramaśiva (primordial Hindu Divinity) had declared He would always protect. To name a few of these cities – Kashi and Tiruvannamalai. The city of Kashi is several thousand years old, mentioned by various travelers and various ancient texts. It is said in Hindu scriptures that Kashi is Mahadeva's (primordial Hindu Divinity) capital, where the sacred Ganga River always flows, giving salvation to all, and the city can never be forsaken. The city of Tiruvannamalai in South Bharat is another such city that Lord Paramaśiva (primordial Hindu Divinity) has committed to humanity to protect forever.

• 66. The lineage of Lord Paramaśiva represents the tradition of Gurus (enlightened masters) in Tiruvannamalai (also called Arunachala) starting from Paramaśiva Himself. The lineage of Paramaśiva prevails to fulfill Paramaśiva's promise to humanity to be an eternal guiding force through an unbroken lineage of living Gurus gracing from the sacred city of Tiruvannamalai. Arunācala Purāṇa - the epic history of Arunācala - reveals that then, Lord Paramaśiva appeared as an infinite effulgence of light (called 'Lingodbhava') in Tiruvannamalai to bless humanity with the promise to be always available in the three-fold form: (1) in the form of the sacred Arunācala hill as the Jyotirlingam (A deity in form of a hill continuously radiates the energy of Enlightenment) (2) in the form of the worshipful Śiva Liṅga deity in the Arunachaleshwara temple in Tiruvannamalai and (3) In the form of a living incarnation to continuously guide the people in the path of Enlightenment. True to His promise, Lord Paramaśiva retained His form as the Arunācala mountain, assumed the form of the Śivaliṅga called Arunācaleśvara, at the temple in Tiruvannamalai and is incarnating continuously keeping the unbroken lineage of enlightened beings in Tiruvannamalai till date.
• 67. Paramaśiva Himself, as Śrī Arunagiri Yogiśvara, established the Kailaasa Paramparagatha Ādi Arunachala Sarvajnapeetham Samrajyam (spiritual and religious kingdom) in Tiruvannamalai. In the great Hindu scripture Skanda Purāṇa, in the section named Arunācala Mahātmyam, Paramaśiva gives the promise to be eternally available in this three-fold-form in Tiruvannamalai (also called Arunachala). Paramaśiva spoke, "Even though I have risen as the form of the fire in the holy place of Arunachala, hiding that, I appear and shine as a peaceful mountain to protect the whole world through My Grace. I also abide on this mountain in the form of a Siddha (an accomplished perfect one) as Arunagiri Yogi. Within Me in the form of this mountain, there is a wonderful cave where all sorts of prosperity exist and shine forever. Know this".
• 68. It is Arunagiri Yogiśvara's Jīva Samādhi (final resting place) around which the Arunachaleshwara temple and the Tiruvannamalai township and city settlement have grown. It is to Arunagiri Yogiśvara, that the first worship is offered in the main sanctum sanctorum of the Arunachaleshwara temple everyday till date. Over these thousands of years, the temple town of Tiruvannamalai nurtured millions of enlightened sages and incarnations and protected the city and Hindu civilization from complete extermination. Several sages predict and foresee His happening. In the late 1890s, the enlightened sage of Tiruvannamalai Shesadri Swamigal told the mother of Mata Vibhutananda Puri that she would birth a daughter (Mata Vibhudananda) who would be the one to take care of "Appan (father)" (the next incarnation of Lord Paramaśiva). Ramana Maharishi (himself an incarnation) foretold the birth of the next incarnation of Lord Paramaśiva and told a local merchant Raju Mudaliyar and his friend Devaraju Mudaliyar that "Annamalayar (Paramashiva in the form of sacred Arunachala hill) will be born as your grandson and take care of Him properly." On 1 Jan 1978, Raju Mudaliyar's daughter, Lokanayaki Ammal, gave birth to a son. R. Venkatasami Chettiar (an indigenous astrologer) and Tanjavur Swamigal (a Hindu leader from Thanjavur) declared that the newly born child is an Incarnation and predicted the child will be a Raja Sanyasi (King among Ascetics) and was auspiciously given Lord Paramaśiva's name "Rajasekaran". The same year, Mataji Vibhutananda Puri and Anusuya Ammal (paternal grandmother of the child) took the child to an enlightened Hindu master, Poondi Swamigal, who took the child and pointed at the hill repeating several times, "Appan (Father) has come!", confirming Shesadri Swamigal's revelation. After Ramana Maharishi, the next incarnation of

Paramaśiva in Tiruvannamalai was Yogi Ramsuratkumar. Both Ramana Maharishi and Yogi Ramsuratkumar had declared that the child Rajasekaran was the next incarnation of Paramaśiva. In 1981, when the child was three years old, the 68th Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham Jagadguru Shri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Mahaswamigal and the 230th Gurumahasannidhanam of Thondaimandala Aadheenam Sri Thiruvambaladesika Jnanaprakasha Swamigal confirmed the divine birth.

[17 July 1981:] 68th Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham Jagadguru Shri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Mahaswamigal (left), the 230th Gurumahasannidhanam of Thondaimandala Aadheenam - Sri Thiruvambaladesika Jnanaprakasha Swamigal, Mataji Vibhutananda Puri, Yogiraj Yogananda Puri arranged for the initiation of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM into Balasanyas (child monk) and the observation of His first Chaturmasya (an annual pilgrimage and period of penance). Taking the 3-year-old Incarnation onto their lap, His Gurus completed the rituals on His behalf.

[16 Feb 1988:] On the auspicious festival of Maha Shivaratri, the 230th Gurumahasannidhanam of Thondaimandala Aadheenam Sri Thiruvambaladesika Jnanaprakasha Swamigal (left) appointed THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM (right), when he was 10-year-old, as successor pontiff or GuruMahasannidhanam of Thondaimanadala Aadheenam upon attaining maturity. This coronation was done publicly in Sri Arunachaleshwara Temple Tiruvannamalai, with all priests and devotees attending the ceremony. As per both, the tradition and the law, religious coronations need not be documented in writing – public declaration and announcement by the GuruMahasannidhanam were legally sufficient and per law has to be honored by the State.

• 69. Enlightened Hindu sages and leaders of Tiruvannamalai, such as Isakki Swamigal, Yogi Yogananda Puri, Narayanasami Pillai, Mouna Swami Narayanasami, Sri Sadhu Om Swamigal, Thinnai Swamigal, Tiruchy Mahaswamigal recognized the child, Rajasekaran, as the incarnation of Paramaśiva.
• 70. In 1989, when the boy "Rajasekaran" was around 11-years old, Paramaśiva Himself, as Śrī Arunagiri Yogiśvara, who established the Kailaasa Paramparagatha Ādi Arunachala Sarvajnapeetham Samrajyam (spiritual and religious kingdom) in Tiruvannamalai thousands of years ago assumed a body from His Jīva Samādhi sanctum in the Arunachaleshwara temple and befriended the boy. Śrī Arunagiri Yogiśvara guided the child for nine months as His Guru and initiating Him as His disciple and into monkhood (Sanyāsa), adorning Him with the sacred saffron robe. Mātā Vibhutananda Puri (who left the body in 1995) who was the boy's Guru (leader and spiritual guide) in the Sciences of Vedānta and Tantra, was a witness to this nine-month-long training by Arunagiri Yogiśvara to Rajasekaran.
• 71. 24 May 1994, a year before her death, Mata Vibhutananda Puri, declared Rajasekaran as Her successor to the spiritual seat of Arunachala Sarvajnapeetham, Tiruvannamalai, by Guru Parampara (Guru lineage) from Isakki Swamigal, and gave the title "Brahmasukhi" through a formal initiation letter. She built and gifted Him a small ashram (monastery) in Pavazhakundru. Pavazhakundru is a hillock in Tiruvannamalai where Devi Parashakti (primordial Hindu Mother Goddess) had her enlightenment experience during one of her incarnations on planet earth.
• 72. In the year 1999, while Rajasekaran was wandering as a monk in a pilgrimage to the Himalayas, in Gaurikund, Kedarnath (Uttarakhand, North Bharat), Mahavatar Babaji initiated Him with the name "Nithyananda" in a Kalabhairava temple.
• 73. 31 Dec 1999, on sacred banks of river Narmada, at Omkareshwar (Madhya Pradesh, Bharat), Rajasekaran (by that time known as Swami Nithyananda), entered into an intense Samādhī and had a complete experience of enlightenment – and hence known with the title of Paramahamsa. From here, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM (Rajasekaran), marked the end of His pilgrimage, started His public mission to revive the Enlightened Civilization. 14 April 2001, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM inaugurated Ramakrishna Dhyanapeetham, Tiruchengode Aadheenam, Tamil Nadu.

Message from Former President of Bharat, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam to The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Paramahamsa Nithyananda

Former President of Bharat, Late APJ Abdul Kalam said thus to The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Paramahamsa Nithyananda during a meeting in Delhi, North Bharat, when The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism presented him with a flagship book He had recently published:

"Swamiji, it is such a joy to experience your blissful smile. When we were children we lived blissfully, smiled a lot, and we were happy and fulfilled. But as we grow we lose our smile. Yet when I see you, I see you carry and radiate such a divine bliss. If I could ask you for something Swamiji, I would request you to spread the same bliss that you carry inside you to the entire world. If you could do that, I would be very happy."

• 87. For the past twenty-six years, the SPH through SHRIKAILASA has worked tirelessly to revive the ancient Sanatana Hindu Dharma (Hinduism) in its true authentic form, applying the principles of Hinduism for making the world a better place.
  • a. For 27 years, every month the Hindu ASMT community has served free organic meals in religious gatherings to everyone without discrimination.
  • b. The citizens and volunteers of KAILASA have saved human lives through various disaster relief works such as the 2012 Thane cyclone and blood donation camps.
  • c. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has emphasized the need and urged the government worldwide to provide food, safety, medical care, shelter, and all survival needs to all human beings under their care, with absolute multilayer quarantine, until coronavirus is eliminated from planet earth including all different strains of the virus. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has urged citizens worldwide, especially from regions severely affected by the pandemic to protect themselves as the topmost priority and avail these free quarantine facilities that the community has created, especially as home quarantine has failed for many and is known to be a primary reason for a large number of deaths in many scenarios. In May 2021, KAILASA opened its temple-monastic-community premises (Aadheenams) in Hindu for providing multi-layer preventive quarantine as a free service for protecting people from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Irrespective of race, religion, caste, nationality, gender, etc., the service is offered

completely free of charge to all. For two decades the leader of the ASMT Hindu community, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM (SPH) Jagat Guru Mahasannidhanam (JGM) His Divine Holiness (HDH) Bhagavan THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM had been creating sustainable townships (enlightenment ecosystems) across more than a hundred cities in several countries. Most of these townships such as the ASMT Monastery Bharat, Bengaluru have been opened to offer multi-layered quarantine as a free public service with free food/accommodation, free internet to work from home (monastery). The ASMT community has seen a fair amount of success in these Preventive Quarantine centers with zero reported cases of COVID infection in the past two years and has already saved many lives.

• d. The psychological health impact of COVID has become an extremely concerning problem that is particularly affecting the younger population more. There has been an increase in self-harm, self-sabotage, and suicidal behavior in the student community. Kailasa has provided free online meditation and yoga classes to reach out to people in distress who cannot avail of the benefits of Kailasa's COVID care facilities directly. These include powerful Hindu principles from the Veda-Agamas such as Science of Completion (Purnatva), and the Collective Integrity process. Science of Completion (Purnatva) empowers people to redress their inner and external conflicts, by identifying the root of thought currents that make them experience powerlessness, meaninglessness, hopelessness and replacing these with powerful cognitions and truths that remind them of their innate peaceful and blissful nature, giving them the strength to face life holistically as it comes. Likewise, the Collective Integrity process helps people stay together with Completion (Purnatva) and non-conflict as a collective group supporting each other. This is extremely crucial for the world today, especially given the fact that globalization of disease has made the world to be only as resilient as the least resilient country and person, particularly concerning for the highly contagious COVID-19 which has spread with scale and severity not seen since Spanish flu. These and many other processes and teaching from Hinduism, provide a psychological support system and empowering people for life. More than a million people worldwide have been benefited from these programs. Research on meditation has indicated that every minute of meditation brings a reduction in the crime rate.

• e. Prenatal stress has detrimental effects on both obstetric outcomes, fetal development, and the development of an individual later in life. Studies have shown pregnancy deaths to have doubled in humanitarian crises. Humanitarian crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic increase the difficulty to access antenatal and general healthcare as well as cause stress to the mother. Pregnancy deaths in rural settings have doubled in May 2021, in urban settings, it is even more acute. Kailasa offers special care for pregnant women called En-pregnancy care which has benefited thousands of women worldwide. The service is offered completely free. It involves special meditation and yogic processes supporting pregnant women during both – the prenatal and postnatal stages. Pregnant women have quarantined themselves in Kailasa's Preventive Quarantine centers to avail of this facility. Babies born in En-Pregnancy® care are born with extraordinary health, immunity, good weight. There have been zero incidences of preterm births in En-Pregnancy® care. En-pregnancy® births are known for blissful and painless birth experiences for women, which has been confirmed by the fact that (1) there have been zero incidences of epidural anesthesia in these natural deliveries, (2) shorter labor duration, (3) zero incidences of post-partum depression to date.

• f. The ASMT community runs indigenous schools called THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Gurukul which offer traditional, religious, and modern education (Edexcel IGCSE) completely free of cost and is recognized for academic excellence and consistently having a significant number of children completing matriculation at an age lesser than the national average.

• For two decades THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and the dark-skinned ASMT community of Tamil ethnicity have become a target of the neo-Hindutva hate propaganda in Karnataka. In mere five years of the inauguration, by 2005, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM had established the presence of His spiritual missions in 33 countries. This was commended and recognized by various political leaders at the State level, national level, and international level. By 2008, the family of the Chief Minister of Karnataka had become devoted to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.

• The universal acceptance and appeal of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, not just in Karnataka but worldwide was unacceptable to the Neo-Hindutva extremists of Karnataka as his origin is of Tamil ethnicity. The politically owned media was directly complicit in the violence targeting THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and the ASMT community. From 2010 to 2018, several attempts were made to kill THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, compelling His Divine Holiness to seek refuge by 2018. Till 2019, demands for extrajudicial assassination of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM were publicly made by lawmakers.
• THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has strongly advocated for a truly secular and apolitical Hinduism, free from State subjugation. In contrast, the neo-Hindutva terrorists aim to establish autocratic State control over religion, bringing all Hindu temples and places of worship under their control, subjugate Hindus, and homogenizing Hinduism into their vote bank using a pervasive and systematic campaign targeting indigenous spiritual traditions, and their leaders. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM the reigning emperor of 19 ancient spiritual Hindu kingdoms is a primary victim of neo-Hindutva terrorism and has survived despite multiple assassination attempts.
• Although Hindus are the most peaceful, with the least crime rate, most educated, highest taxpayers, contribute the highest share of their wealth in charity, most non-violent even towards animals, have the highest number of practicing vegetarians in the world, are the most contributing religious minority of the world, yet they are the most vulnerable community to persecution in the world. Today the minority Hindu communities such as the ASMT have been orphaned by their respective governments and elected representatives. Their governments (such as in Bharat) are persecuting them. Their Gurus are a target of State Terrorism and are being killed by the political militant extremists. Their temples, religious institutes, monasteries, religious schools have been destroyed by the State and militant extremists. The wealth that they donated in their temples has been looted by the State by diversion of wealth donated to temples into either government coffers or by being siphoned off by corrupt officials to fund terrorist activities. In response to this, the dispossessed Hindus from around the world who lost the right to practice Hinduism authentically in their own countries formed KAILASA - the world's only Hindu nation. KAILASA is the most nonviolent assertion of religious freedom created by globally dispossessed Hindus who lost their right to peacefully practice their religion and have gathered to protect their Gurus and tradition from destruction by religious intolerance and anti-Hindu political terrorism in the Hindu sub-continent.

• On 2nd March 2010 SunTV the politically owned media house of the DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) which was the ruling party of the State of Tamil Nadu in 2010, made a sensational and repeated screening of a fabricated video purporting to show THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM with a well-known Hindu film actress. The video was later proved to be false: A Judge ordered the television station to run an apology for it every two hours for 7 days, and Hansraj Saxena, COO Sun TV confessed on public television as well as gave a sworn affidavit to a US court detailing the history and modus operandi of the blackmail and extortion and was jailed for the same. This did not remedy the damage. The State suppressed these facts from appearing in the public discourse and also from appearing before the Hindu judiciary. The State-owned and controlled television channels within a few hours ensured the television telecast of Hansraj Saxena, (COO Sun TV) was stopped; the ASMT has captured the video recording of the telecast and has this as evidence of the same.

• In March 2010, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu had given a press statement where he declared the State government's intent to take control of private temples owned by THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and other Hindu spiritual leaders (Swamis).

• On 3 March 2010 the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Karunanidhi, made a public statement inciting hatred towards THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and the ASMT community. This was published in several newspapers and cited by several media channels.

  • a. The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu stereotyped and vilified Swamis (Hindu Monks) labeling them as "cheats (ஏமாற்றுவித்சதக்காரர்கசளயும்)", "imposters

• b. The Chief Minister declared the stand of his government on Hindu monks (like THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM), "my government cannot tolerate the despicable Swami's hoodwinking acts (கயசமத்தன ைாமியார்களின் ஏமாற்று வித்சதகசள வபாறுத்துக் வகாண் டிருக்க முடியாது)."

• c. The Chief Minister described the practicing Hindus who followed Swamis (like the followers of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM) as, "People who are deeply buried in ignorance who cannot still understand these or even if understood do not want to change (அப்படியிருந்தும், இன்னமும் புரிந்துவகாள்ள முடியாத, புரிந்துவகாண் டாலும் திருந்திக் வகாள்ள இயலாத வமௌடீகத்தில் மூழ்கிலயார் நாட்டில், ைமூகத்தில் இருக்கத்தான் வைய்கிறார்கள்)", "those fickle-minded people who have fallen prey to these Swamis and destroying the society (இதுலபான் ற ஏமாற்றுவித்சதக்காரர்கசளயும், பக்தி லவடம் பூண் டு பாமர மக்கசள படு குழியில் தள்ளுகின் ற பகல்லவடக்காரர்கசளயும், அவர்களிடம் பலியாகி ைமுதாயத்சத சீரழிக்கின் ற ைபல புத்தி உசடயவர்கசளயும் இந்த அரசு லவடிக்சக பார்த்துக் வகாண் டிருக்காது)"

• d. The Chief Minister explained his stand on the practicing Hindus who followed Gurus like THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, "this government won't be a mute spectator, of those fickle-minded people who have fallen prey to the Swamis and are destroying the society (அவர்களிடம் பலியாகி ைமுதாயத்சத சீரழிக்கின் ற ைபல புத்தி உசடயவர்கசளயும் இந்த அரசு லவடிக்சக பார்த்துக்வகாண் டிருக்காது)"

• e. The Chief Minister pleaded to the citizens, "those who really want these preachers to be eradicated should stand by and support the actions my government is taking (ஊருக்கு உபலதசிகசள ஒழித்துக் கட்ட லவண் டுவமன்று எண் ணுகின் ற ஒவ்வவாருவரும் இந்த அரசு எடுக்கின் ற நடவடிக்சககளுக்கு உறுதுசணயாக இருக்க லவண் டும் என்று லகட்டுக்வகாள்கிலறன்)".

• In a similar interview, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Karunanidhi's gave an interview in Trichy, on March 3, 2010, wherein the context of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM he said, "Of late immorality has been rampant in Temples and Monasteries (லகாயில்கள், ஆசிரமங்களில் அத்துமீறல்கள் வகாஞ்ைம் அதிகமாகத்தான் நடக்கின் றன.). We will organize a meeting of the committees formed on behalf of the government and the Hindu Religious & Charitable Endowments Department and

^("superior one"), in Tibetan Buddhism, a spiritual leader. Originally used to translate "guru" (Sanskrit: "venerable one") and thus applicable only to heads of monasteries or great teachers, the term is now extended out of courtesy to any respected monk or priest. )

discuss taking actions to stop this. (இதை தடுக்க நடவடிக்கை எடுப்பது குறித்து அரசு சார்பிலும் அறநிலையத்துறை சார்பிலும் அமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ள குழுக்கள் ஆலோசித்து முடிவு எடுக்கும்" என்று முதல்வர் கருணாநிதி கூறினார்)". On 12 April 2010, the parent organization of Karunanidhi the Dravida Kazhagam hosted a press meeting where the leader of the anti-Hindu terrorist K. Veeramani said, "Central and State governments should take criminal action against them. The crores of property they have earned through crooked means should be taken over by the government". The fabricated video of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM became a political justification for the State government to implement and execute anti-Hindu laws and executive orders that destroyed all Hindu temples in Tamil Nadu over the next decade. Earlier on 5 March 2010, anti-Hindu terrorist K. Veeramani had given an interview where he said in the context of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and other Hindu Gurus, "If you probe them, they will ultimately end their life in jail. Almost national criminals."

• 96. Following the statement of the Chief Minister, the very next day on 4 March 2010, the State Police of Tamil Nadu, filed fabricated accusations on THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM charging Him under section IPC 376 (rape) without mentioning anybody as a victim of rape. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM continued to be hounded by the Police of three States, the neo-Hindutva media, and the State intelligence for months. Within days, more than fifty ASMT temples and monasteries in different cities were attacked simultaneously and rapidly, some set on fire and shut down by atheist militants aiding the State Police. ASMT Hindu Deities were desecrated and burnt. Billboards and banners of ASMT Hindu Deities which were hung inside or nearby the ASMT temples were also set on fire throughout Tamil Nadu. ASMT Hindus, disciples, and devotees of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM were beaten. Hindu female monks of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM were raped.

• 97. On 2 March 2010, around 8:30 PM, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was in Tiruvannamalai. A militant group headed by neo-Hindutva militant leader Shivababu came to assassinate Him. Although THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM escaped, his disciple Sri Nithya Sharanagathananda was beaten by the militants. The ASMT community living in the monastery was forced to flee.
• 98. 3 March 2010, Salem, twenty policemen forcibly evicted the residents of the monastery. Subsequently, the police brought militants in police jeeps who vandalized the monastery, desecrated deities, beat male, female, and even elderly monks. A female monk was violently assaulted and raped by militants. She was dragged down the stairs from the second floor causing her spinal injuries and lifelong acute spinal pain.
• 99. The attacks were planned and not spontaneous. In certain instances, Sun TV premeditated and executed the violence.

On 3 March 2010, around 11 AM, Sun TV aired a piece of news portraying that the Porasapalayam ASMT Ayurvedic Hospital and Temple near Namakkal was set on fire. Around 12:30 PM an acquainted policeman Inspector Ishwar Murthy rushed to the Hospital and enquired and found the hospital to be perfectly safe. At around 1 PM, Sun News reporters with cameras showed up at the hospital and started filming the place. When asked by the founder in charge Dr. S Chandran (Sri Nithya Sarvananda), why their channel was portraying that the hospital had been set on fire and the temple was being vandalized (when in reality it wasn't), the reporters looked embarrassed and could not give any explanation. All they said was that they were late to arrive at the scene as their van had got punctured. The next day, 4 March 2010 media reported that no untoward incidents happened as the ASMT Ayurvedic Hospital and Temple had police protection. In 2012 the Chief Operations Officer of Sun TV gave a television interview accepting that the channel manufactured fake news to target THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. Later in 2014, he reiterated this statement in an affidavit to a US court.

• 100. ASMT Temple's administrators, devotees, disciples, center-in-charges were threatened by government departments and police with malicious prosecution and vexatious litigations (lawfare). In a matter of six days, from 5th to 11th March 2010, three vexatious litigations from three different locations (Puducherry, Sriperumbudur, Coimbatore) were filed against THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM with the same fabricated accusations of IPC295A "hurting of religious sentiments" from multiple third-parties. Dr. S Chandran (Sri Nithya Sarvananda), founder of the Namakkal ASMT Temple and Hospital was threatened by the police with malicious prosecution under section IPC295A, fearing which he filed an anticipatory bail petition in Madras High Court which was rejected. Finally, he, like many other regional heads, had to shut down his temple to avoid persecution by the government.
• 101. 2 March 2010, Sirkazhi, around 8:30 PM the in charge of Sadanandapuram ASMT Temple, Kannan saw the news of all ASMT temples being vandalized and set ablaze. The news even mentioned that Sirkazhi Temple had been set on fire. This was the very place where he was watching this news. He went outside and confirmed that everything was normal. He moved his children to a neighbor's house for safety. The news had spread rumors that THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM could be around Sirkazhi. Later that night, on 3 March, by 1:30 AM, a group of four militants came and attacked the temple. They tore and set ablaze the billboards and banners of ASMT Hindu Deities which were hung outside and even broke the compound wall boundary of the temple. The police refused to register any complaint.
• 102. 3rd March 2010 the Eambalam Pondicherry monastery was ransacked and vandalized the in presence of the police which was shown on television. The devotees and monks were beaten. The police refused to register any formal complaint. 4th March 2010, around 6 PM THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM came to the Eambalam monastery. The militants received this information and attacked again, at 8:30 PM. The Sabha (meditation and worship hall), a thatched roof structure where THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was staying, was set on fire. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM managed to escape.
• 103. Some ASMT Temples were based in houses of devotees, even these were set on fire. On 4 March 2010, Rasipuram, an old-aged female devotee's thatched house was set on fire by DMK militants. The old lady was locked inside and fainted in the smoke. She was rescued by her neighbors. The Police refused to register any complaint.
• 104. 3rd March 2010, Thovalai, Kanyakumari ASMT Hindu Deities were broken with hammers, this was aired live and reported in newspapers.
• 105. In several cities and towns, the militants burnt ASMT Hindu Deities and gave inflammatory speeches demanding the assassination of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and attacks on his followers. Such demonstrations in Kanchipuram, Thanjavur, Kumbakonam, and Hosur were reported in the media.
• 106. The attacks mentioned so far are only the ones that happened during the first week from 3 March 2010 and speak of the attacks that took place in Tamil Nadu. The atrocities done on THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and the ASMT community is far more than what was just mentioned. Over the years, several fabricated accusations made against THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and the community were proven false. In some cases, the courts also termed litigations targeting THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as 'abuse of process of court', 'done with mala fide intention'. These court verdicts that were in favor of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and the ASMT community did not remedy the damage and prevent further persecution. The State government departments such as the HR&CE and police and state proxy militants continued their attacks. The hate propaganda politically owned media normalized the society and even judges such that there continues to be widespread prejudice against THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and the ASMT community even today.

• 107. 29 Dec 2010, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and the ASMT community had gathered in His birthplace, Tiruvannamalai to offer prayers at the Arunachaleshwara Temple. Militants of DMK and CPI(M) carrying black flags surrounded THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and His disciples. The militants threatened the ASMT community and THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, "If you (THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM) enter the temple we will kill you." The disciples tried to protect THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and were brutally assaulted. Two militants raped a female monk. The principal of His gurukul school (Rishi Sri Nithya Advaitananda) was one among those who were beaten owing to which he continues to suffer severe back pain to date. The police refused to accept any complaints from the ASMT community.
• 108. 9 Jan 2012, Madurai: THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was in Madurai to inaugurate an ASMT temple, meditation, and yoga center. An armed mob of neo-Hindutva extremists attacked. The militants broke the doors of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's car. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM managed to escape safely. The militants kept the monks hostage for several hours. This happened in the presence of the police.
• 109. On 12 Jan 2012, Rajapalayam ASMT Temple (Virudhunagar district) land (Survey number 385B/11) was illegally confiscated by neo-Hindutva extremists. The temple land grabbers sacrilegiously removed the ASMT Hindu worship altars and objects. 108 herbal trees were chopped off. ASMT deities, pictures of deities, religious books were burnt. Agricultural electrical pump sets and motors were removed, electrical lines were removed, lights were broken. The government electricity department officials were unlawfully coerced by militants to change the electric connections, which they refused to comply with. The militants coerced the local panchayat (the lowest unit of self-governance in Bharat) to accept their unlawful confiscation of the temple and land, which the local panchayat refused. The militants blocked the road to the temple using heavy earth movers and captured the land. Ever since 2012 up until 2021, the militants have continued to forcibly claim possession of the land. Complaints to the Police have not remedied the situation. On 12 January 2012, the neo-Hindutva and anti-Hindu atheist militants physically assaulted the ASMT monk Sri Nithya Tattvabhothananda. Rajapalyam was very peaceful and ASMT monks were able to freely practice their religion, conduct meditation classes, and mass prayers until 2010 when the doctored video was released and the Chief Minister Karunanidhi made inflammatory statements and false accusations against the ASMT and THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. This was the case everywhere in Tamil Nadu.
• 110. On 4 Feb 2012, Seithur town, 38-acre ASMT temple land was illegally grabbed. The organic herbal farm was destroyed by the landgrabbers. The land grabbers removed the temple billboard and placed their own, renaming the place as - GV Farms. The living quarters of the monks were destroyed. The police refused to register a formal complaint but recorded the crime in their register.

Part 5: KAILASA - The Grand Narrative of Hinduism_English_part_5.md

• 111. The Kailasa Paramparagatha Kanchi Kailasa Sarvajnapeetham Thondaimandala Adheenam (referred to as Thondaimandala Adheenam subsequently) is one of the oldest spiritual kingdoms established by Lord Paramaśiva (primordial Hindu Divinity), in the form of His incarnation Adi Nathar, and was revived 5000 years ago, with its capital as the City of Kanchipuram. As per Hindu history, Lord Paramaśiva (primordial Hindu Divinity), taught the source scripture - Śrimad Kāmikā Āgama to His consort Devī Parvāti as Her incarnation Kanchi Kamachi here under a sacred tree at the present-day Ekambareshwarar temple. The lineage of Thondaimandala was started by Lord Paramaśiva (primordial Hindu Divinity) in form of His incarnation Ekambaranathar and Devī Parvāti in form of Her incarnation Kanchi Kamachi directly beginning with Thiru Nandi Thevar, followed by a lineage of disciples, named as Sanatkumara, Sathiya Gnana Darisanikal, Paranjothi Munivar, Meikanda Thevar, Sitrambala Nadigal, and finally, Gnana Prakasar who became the first Gurumahasannidham of the Thondaimandala Aadheenam. The Gurumahasannidham of the Thondaimandala Adheenam coronated all the kings and regents of the Chola empire – a Tamil thalassocracy, that was one of the longest-ruling dynasties in the world's history, dating to at least 3rd century BCE. Bodhidharma the founder of Zen Buddhism (a branch of Mahayana Buddhism like Tibetan Buddhism) was the third son of a Pallava king from Kanchipuram. Bodhidharma was trained and initiated in Thondaimandala Aadheenam and took the teachings of Hinduism spreading them in China, which later fused with Buddhist traditions and became Zen Buddhism. Thondaimandala Guru Maha Sannidhanams are called as Jnanaprakasha. Both the word "Jnanaprakasha" and the word "Bodhi"(from Bodhidharma) have the same meaning – "light of knowledge" and have the same Sanskrit Dhatu also. Thondaimandala Aadheenam with its capital at Kanchipuram was an important seat of knowledge and interpath dialogue, visited by various Hindu and Buddhist Chinese travelers such as Xuanzang.
• 112. It is the age-old customs, traditions, and practices in all the Shaiva Aadheenams in Tamil Nadu that the incumbent Guru Mahasannidhanam appoints His successor based on his spiritual qualifications and divine insight and guidance. These ASMT customs, traditions, and practices of the Aadheenams are documented in historical records of trust procedures, which are the authoritative reference used to decide on religious matters during the colonial era and presently also. These practices cannot at all be interfered with by neither the legislature, judiciary nor the executive. As per these well-documented, ancient procedures, followed for thousands of years, the sole authority and power to appoint the successor is vested in the incumbent pontiff. For thousands of years, GuruMahasannidham has identified and coronated their successors.
• 113. 5 Aug 1893, the 225th Guru MahaSannidhanam of Thondaimandala Adheenam executed a will which was duly probated in OP No.53 of 1894 by the Madras High Court. As per the will the 225th Guru Maha Sannidhanam appointed Thiru Thirugnanasambanda Murthy who was then eleven years (minor) as His successor. Until the child became a major, zamindar Muthukumarasamy Mudaliar and others were nominated as executors for managing the affairs of the Aadheenam. 11 Aug 1894, the 225th Guru MahaSannidhanam attained Paripoornam. During the period from 1894 to 1899, the Aadheenam was under the management and administration of the Executors. 1899, on attaining majority (in age) the 226th Thiru Thirugnanasambanda Murthy took over as the Guru Maha Sannidhanam of Thondaimandala Aadheenam. Similarly, on 11 Aug 1924, the 226th Guru MahaSannidhanam of Thondaimandala Adheenam executed a will wherein He appointed Thirupandi Kodumudi Ekambaram (minor) as His successor. Until the minor attained majority, the Aadheenam was managed by the Executor Thiru K. Viswanatha Mudaliar and others. 28 Sept 1924, the 226th Maha Sannidhanam attained Paripoornam. This was the succession process of the Aadheenams
• 114. In 1927, "The Madras Hindu Religious and Endowments Act (1927)" was enacted and made applicable only to Hindu places of worship. Some Hindu religious leaders managed to have their religious institutions out of the purview of the Act. The 227 th Guru Mahasannidhanam of Thondaimandala Aadheenam was around thirteen years of age during the enactment of this law, and the 226th Guru Mahasannidhanam had passed away three years prior. Religious institutions, of minority Hindu sects, such as the ASMT Thondaimala Aadheenam were unable to escape falling into the ambit of the Act were nationalized and forcibly brought under State control to be headed by a politically nominated state executive officer called the Commissioner of the Hindu Religious Endowment Board.
• 115. Until November 1932, the administration and management of the Aadheenam were under the control of executors as the successor pontiff appointed under the will had not attained majority (in age). 21 Nov 1932, on attaining majority Kodumudi Ekambara Swamigal took charge and became the 227th Guru Maha Sannidhanam of the Thondaimandala Aadheenam till 5 Aug 1946.
• 116. The State HR&CE claimed that during the tenure of the 227th Guru Maha Sannidhanam of Thondaimandala Aadheenam, the Aadheenam was not properly managed. On 17 Jan 1946, the State HR&CE Department used this as a justification to create a scheme under which the management and administration of the Aadheenam were controlled by a manager appointed by the Board, by divesting the powers of Guru Maha Sannidhanam. The 227th Guru MahaSannidhanam was coerced by the State to renounce His position and forcibly exiled from the Mutt. The Guru Maha Sannidhanam had never been removed in several thousand years of the history of Hinduism and this was the first such case. The 227th Sannidhanam was deprived of His rights and denied due process. The 227th Sannidhanam was not allowed to appoint any successor. The State arbitrarily ordered His removal following 199 days of probation during which all His rights were already suspended. By 5 Aug 1946, even before the completion of the 199 days, the 227th Sannidhanam went missing and was never found. 17 May 1995, the 11th Panchen Lama of Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism, Choekyi Nyima went missing and his whereabouts were never known, other than Chinese officials stating that His whereabouts had been kept secret to protect Him. Human rights organizations have termed the 11th Panchen Lama as the "youngest political prisoner in the world". However, the case of 227th Sannidhanam's disappearance was shown by the State as a voluntary withdrawal.
• 117. In a matter of twelve days from the disappearance of the 227th Sannidhanam of Thondaimandala Aadheenam, on 17 Aug 1946, the HR&CE Board arbitrarily passed Order No. 2723 appointing Sri P.K. Srinivasa Mudaliar (Coimbatore) as the interim Trustee. On 24 December 1950, Puchampalli Swamigal from another Shaiva monastery was made the 228th Guru Maha Sannidhanam. 17 Dec 1952, the Endowment Board, as per Scheme No. 470 dated 17 Nov 1952 appointed a Manager with whom the management of the Aadheenam was entrusted. 20 Nov 1956, the 228th Guru Maha Sannidhanam, while on tour, attained Paripoornam. Subsequently, the State HR&CE appointed Purasawakkam Sri P. Sadagopa Mudaliar as interim Trustee. The Aadheenam was without the Guru Maha Sannidhanam. The ASMT community approached the HR&CE Commissioner for the appointment of the Guru Maha Sannidhanam. At that time, there were rival claims between two political groups controlling the ASMT community which led to controversies concerning the appointment of Guru Maha Sannidhanam. The State HR&CE Board appointed Sri Manickavasaga Thambiran from another Shaiva monastery as Guru Maha Sannidhanam. This was not a norm, and a deviation of the established procedure and past practices, as appointments from other monasteries were allowed only under exceptional circumstances per various traditions and customs which originated in the Kamika Agamas. 16 Nov 1959, in W.P.No. 261 of 1959 the said appointment by the HR&CE was challenged before the Madras High Court which canceled it on grounds of being illegal and invalid.
• 118. 31 Oct 1963, Thiru Muthu Manickavasaga Mudaliar (great-great-granduncle of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM) became the Guru Maha Sannidhanam as 229th Guru Maha Sannidhanam through the ASMT community. However, the properties were managed by the Manager appointed by the Endowment Board. During the tenure of the 229th Guru Maha Sannidhanam, the State Government led by the DMK issued a Notification mandating Archanas to be performed in Tamil only. Therefore, the HR&CE Commissioner modified the Scheme in OA No.2 of 1973 dated 10 Oct 1975 appointing executive officer in the place of Manager by entrusting all powers to executive officer.
• 119. In this connection it is relevant to point out that earlier the Board framed a scheme by Order dated 17 Jan 1946 under OA No.368 of 1943 filed under Section 63 of the HR&CE Act, under which the administration of the affairs of the Aadheenam was to be vested with the Guru Maha Sannidhanam for the time being and a Manager was appointed, entrusting to him with all powers including the right to sue and be sued.
• 120. 10 Oct 1975, the OA No.368 of 1943 scheme was modified by the HR&CE Commissioner by an arbitrary suo moto proceeding in OA No.2 of 1973. As per this scheme, the Executive Officer was appointed to function and perform various acts with the approval of the Guru Maha Sannidhanam which was according to the policy of the Government mandating Tamil Archanas.
• 121. 24 July 1977, the 229th Guru MahaSannidhanam attained Paripoornam.
• 122. 12 Feb 1978, the 230th Guru Maha Sannidhanam was crowned by the ASMT community.
• 123. 20 Jan 1979, the HR&CE Commissioner breaching the limits of his mere supervisory control arbitrarily and illegally issued an order in OA No.1 of 1978, modified the order OA No.2 of 1973, directed the Executive Officer to hand over the charge to the Guru Maha Sannidhanam or His nominees, and illegally created an Advisory Committee members of which were to be nominated in consultation with the ASMT Thondaimandala Mudaliar Community to assist the Guru Maha Sannidhanam in the secular affairs (financial and administrative matters) of the Mutt. All this was done against the mandate of the ASMT Hindu community. Though the administration of the affairs of the Aadheenam was to vest with the Guru Maha Sannidhanam for the time being, the office of the Guru Maha Sannidhanam and successor to the said office was to be only by an election by the ASMT community according to rules made by the State government and not as per the customs.

This is a serious intrusion into the age-long practices followed by Madathipathis (Guru Mahasannidhanams) of all monasteries, such as Hindu monasteries in the State of Tamil Nadu Dharmapuram Aadheenam, Sankara Mutt, Thiruvaduthurai Aadheenam, Thirupanandhal Aadheenam, Kovilur Aadheenam, Senkol Aadheenam – of selecting the successors by themselves as per the age-long customs and practices.

• 124. 26 July 1979, the 230th Guru Maha Sannidhanam accordingly took charge from the Executive Officer under the above scheme (OA No.1 of 1978).
• 125. Around 1988, the 230th Guru Maha Sannidhanam, Sri La Sri Gnanaprakasa Desika Paramacharya Swamigal had identified THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, then known as A. Rajashekaran a young boy of 10 years of age, born in Thiruvannamalai and hailing from the Thondai mandala Adi Saiva Vellalar ASMT community as the very incarnation of Lord Shiva, which was also corroborated with Agastya Maharishi's recorded Nadi reading of the boy. The 230th Guru Mahasannidhanam initiated, proclaimed, declared, and coronated the boy (A. Rajashekaran, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM) as the future Guru Maha Sannidhanam after performing all the initiations as per the customs and traditions of the Aadheenam. He had further declared that the boy would take over the administration and full responsibility of the Guru Maha Sannidhanam when He reached the majority (by age). In the meanwhile, the 231st pontiff was crowned Guru Maha Sannidhanam by the ASMT community.
• 126. The 232nd Gurumahasannidhanam Sri Thiruvambaladesika Jnanaprakasha Swamigal was crowned on 21 Feb 2000 by the ASMT community as per the scheme dated 20 Jan 1979, in keeping with the declaration of the 230th Guru Maha Sannidhanam, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM assumed the responsibility as the 233rd successor Guru Maha Sannidhanam of the Thondai Mandala Aadheenam and was recognized as Sri La Sri Nithyananda Paramashiva Sri Gnanaprakasa Desika Paramacharya Swamigal.
• 127. On 9 Jan 2009, HR&CE Commissioner, according to Modified scheme, approved 5 members Advisory committee as follows: (a). G.R. Thiagasundara Mudaliyar (b). S.Swaminathan (c). J.Sugumaran (d). P.V.Sambandan (e). N. Kumaresan.
• 128. The Members of the Advisory Committee challenged the modified scheme for the appointment of Executive Officer in WP No.21665 of 2010 seeking for quashing the modified scheme. In the said writ petition the High Court passed an order dated 22 Sep 2010 granting an injunction restraining the HR&CE Board from effecting gazette publications of the draft scheme and in the meantime, directed the inquiry in the OA to go on.
• 129. The members of the Advisory Committee, at this stage, moved OA No.1 of 2010 (Rc No.70371 / 2010 D-2) before the Commissioner HR&CE under Section 59(1) of the Act for permission to institute a suit for the removal of the present Guru Maha Sannidhanam. After the notice, the commissioner passed an Order dated 26 April 2011 in M.P.No.1 of 2011 granting permission to file a suit against the 232nd Guru Maha Sannidhanam on the ground that His continuance would be detrimental to the interest of the Mutt.
• 130. Thereupon, the members of the Advisory Board filed OS No.307 of 2011 before the Sub Judge, Kancheepuram for removal of the 232nd Guru Maha Sannidhanam and a permanent injunction. Written Statement was filed by the 232nd Guru Maha Sannidhanam but the suit was decreed ex parte on 16 April 2015. From 1932 up until now, over close to 90 years, the State of Tamil Nadu has interfered in the succession process of the Guru Maha Sannidhanam multiple times, undermining the ASMT community of their religious rights, and the leaders of their succession rights.
• 131. After the coronation, the 232nd Pontiff continued to work with and support Sri La Sri Nithyananda Paramashiva Sri Gnanaprakasa Desika Paramacharya Swamigal to establishing and reviving Kailasa, the enlightened civilizational nation and on April 2001 the 232nd Pontiff inaugurated Kailasa in South Bharat, Ramakrishna Dhyanapeetam Peetha and publicly declared the nomination of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as the 233rd Guru Maha Sannidhanam of the Thondai Mandala Aadheenam. On April 14, 2001, the 232nd Gurumahasannidanam of the Thondaimandala Adheenam, Sri Thiruvambaladesika Jnanaprakasha Swamigal, nominated THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as his lawful successor, the 233rd Gurumahasannidanam. However, due to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's many responsibilities in other Hindu institutions, he and the 232nd Gurumahasannidanam agreed that another suitable candidate should be appointed as the junior pontiff, and therefore a monk disciple of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was nominated and coronated as the 233rd Gurumahasannidanam.
• 132. The 230th Gurumahasannidanam along with the 232nd Gurumahasannidanam had trained THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM right from his early childhood, and also a few of the disciples of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. Since 2005, several under trainee disciples of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM lived in the Thondaimandala Adheenam as trainee monks and assisted the 232nd Gurumahasannidhanam with its maintenance and operations while also attending to His personal and healthcare needs. However, as was the case with Madurai Adheenam, the presence of ASMT members and the involvement of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM with Thondaimandala Adheenam led to retaliation by anti-Hindu militants.

232nd Gurumahasannidanam initiating the disciple of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, Sri Nithya Sundareshwarananda while nominating Him as the successor Pontiff. It is a tradition in Hindu monasteries for a generation of pontiffs to be trained right from childhood. Likewise, the successor Pontiff THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was also trained by the 230th Pontiff and not just by the 232nd Pontiff. This is also observed in many Hindu monasteries such as Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham where the current 70th pontiff was trained from the age of 14 (in 1983) by the 68th pontiff and subsequently the 69th also.

• 133. By 9 Jan 2009, the State-appointed Advisory committee misused their powers and started systematically swindling huge properties of the monastery. When the 232 nd pontiff protested, the State completely took over (nationalized) the monastery by a suo moto proceeding in OA No.1 of 2010 (RC No.3972 / 2010 D-2) and issued notice dated 31 July 2010 where the role of the pontiff was reduced to that of a consultant to the State.
• 134. On several occasions, the 232nd Gurumahasannidanam took refuge at the residence of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM in the neighboring state of Karnataka and publicly spoke out against the anti-Hindu militants who had spread baseless rumors that He had been kidnapped by THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to inflame communal tensions against the ASMT community.
• 135. 23 November 2020: Before His death, the 232nd Pontiff expressed His last wish to the Secretary (Mr. Ganapathy) Sekkizhar Kalvi Panpattu Kazhagam (the largest group of initiated Thondai Mandala ASMT disciples that have been given Samaya Deeksha), "… Very good and knowledgable, and a very good age and integrated and honest character THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has and His nature of not going after others wealth is what is safe for our mutt...four Mudaliyar (from ASMT community ) people nominate THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's name and the name (Sundareshwara Maharaj) referred by Him is a qualified, intelligent, right age, well-disciplined and THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's well-trusted person is always what is safe to our mutt.…". By Sep 2010, after a failed attempt by the Advisory Committee to illegally extend their tenure and illegally remove the 232nd GuruMahaSannidhanam of Thondaimandala Aadheenam, and in the light of the attempts by various State and non-State actors to assassinate THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, the two pontiffs planned for the future of the Thondaimandala Aadheenam tradition to continue safely without disruption and decided that Sri Nithya Sundareshwarananda would be the next pontiff after THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. By 2016, Sri Nithya Sundareshwarananda was given all initiations and declared as the successor Pontiff. Later by 2018, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was forcibly exiled from Bharat with His rights to citizenship withdrawn by the State. Though the 232nd Pontiff and the ASMT community wanted that THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM continue the tradition directly, the persecution forced the community that the throne of Thondaimandala Aadheenam was succeeded directly by the next ordained and initiated pontiff - Sri Nithya Sundareshwarananda as the next Gurumahasannidhanam under the direct spiritual guidance of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as per the 232nd Pontiff's last wish. As per both, the tradition and the law, religious coronations need not be documented in writing – a "word of mouth" by the GuruMahasannidhanam is legally sufficient and per law has to be honored by the State.
• 136. The Chinese State Religious Affairs Bureau via its Order (No. 5), passed on 1 Sept 2007 directs all Buddhist temples in China (and Tibet) to compulsorily apply to the department before they are allowed to recognize individuals as Tulkus (reincarnated teachers). In a similar way, the State of Tamil Nadu through the Department of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Board (HR&CE), via its scheme in OA No.1 of 1978 dated 20 Jan 1979 , has created an unconstitutional deceptive legal framework that effectively forces the Gurumahasannidhanams (reincarnated Gurus/teachers) to be approved by the State through its appointed Advisory Committee before being considered legally valid. This unconstitutional scheme was first applied only to Thondaimandala Aadheenam and even today other Aadheenams have slightly more autonomy when compared to Thondaimanadala Aadheenam. So far Aadheenams other than Thondaimanadala Aadheenam has yet not been subjected to this deceptive legal framework of the Advisory Committee as defined in OA No.1 of 1978 or any of its subsequent amendments.
• 137. 3 December 2020, 233rd successor Gurumahasannidhanam Sri Nithya Sundareshwarananda sent a Letter to HR&CE that he would assume the post as 233rd Pontiff as he had been training with the 232nd Guru Maha Sannidhanam for the past 15 years in all aspects of maintaining the Mutt (monastery) and had been ordained in all the rituals as per the Mutt tradition and as a disciple, looking after the personal well-being of the 232nd Gurumaha Sannidhanam also. 233rd successor Gurumahasannidhanam Sri Nithya Sundareshwarananda had received the Samaya Deeksha, Vishesha Deeksha, Mantrakashayam, Nirvana Deeksha, Acharya Abhishekam, etc from the 232nd Gurumaha Sannidhanam as part of the ordainment rituals as Ilayasannidhanam (Junior Pontiff).
• 138. On 5 Aug 1946, the 227th GuruMahaSannidhanam of Thondaimandala Aadheenam was disappeared. The State HR&CE Board appointed Sri Manickavasaga Thambiran from another Shaiva monastery as Guru Maha Sannidhanam. On 16 Nov 1959, in W.P.No. 261 of 1959, the said appointment by the HR&CE was challenged before the Madras High Court which canceled it on grounds of being illegal and invalid. Ignoring the past errors, on 16 Feb 2021, the State of Tamil Nadu appointed a Kattalai Thambiran from another Shaiva monastery – Dharmapuram Adheenam, as the pontiff of Thondaimandala Aadheenam. The 233 rd successor pontiff Sri Nithya Sundareshwarananda was forcibly evicted, and the Deities of the deceased 232 nd pontiff that as per the ASMT tradition had been worshipped each day for centuries were thrown out on the street by the State appointed Advisory committee. The 233 rd successor pontiff Sri Nithya Sundareshwarananda was not even allowed to even safeguard and protect the Deities.
• 139. 4 March 2021, the 233 rd Gurumahasannidanam of Thondaimandala Aadheenam Sri Nithya Sundareshwarananda challenged the State in High Court of Madras in Writ Petition WP 5899 of 2021 (with Injunction Petition No. 6508 of 2021 and Stay petition No. 6509 of 2021). Though on 16 Nov 1959, in W.P. No. 261, the High Court had struck down a similar illegal appointment, on 18 March 2021, the High Court judge did not even hear the plea and disposed of the plea citing that the State had already confirmed the appointment of their alternate State compliant 233 rd Pontiff.
• 140. On 3 March 2021, in a public interview, PTRP Thiyagarajan (incumbent Finance Minister of State of Tamil Nadu) of the political party DMK bragged that he along with his brother PTRK Vijayarajan (Head of the State appointed Advisory Committee which decides who can and cannot be Guru Maha Sannidhanam), evicted the 233rd successor Pontiff Sri Nithya Sundareshwarananda and ASMT community members from the Thondaimandala Aadheenam. Showing no remorse for breaking the age-old tradition of Guru-disciple lineage the DMK minister and his brother vilified THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, the 232 nd Pontiff, the 233rd successor Pontiff and the ASMT community and emphasized that the mutt would be run as per the DMK party ideology and thus they had evicted the 233rd successor Pontiff.
• 141. On 5 March 2021, the State confirmed the appointment of the State groomed pontiff and illegally nullified the religious appointment done by the 232 nd pontiff.

The Meenakshi Amman temple of Madurai, South Bharat is one of the most popular and important temples in Hinduism. It is also the spiritual seat of one of the world's most ancient monastic orders, Madurai Adheenam, whose leaders, the Gurumahasannidanams, were traditionally regarded as the political and religious head of Madurai (like how the Dalai Lama is traditionally regarded as the political and religious head of Tibet).

The more than 5000-years-old Madurai Aadheenam is a Hindu ASMT monastery and the world's oldest surviving monastic order. It was established by incarnations of Paramaśiva and Parashakti (primordial Hindu Divinities) themselves as Lord Sundareshwara and His consort Divine Mother Meenakshi directly, followed by Guru Maha Sannidhanam Srila Sri Sivananda Yogeendra Sri ShivaJnanasambanda Desika Paramacharya Swamigal (also known as Vaakishara Shivajnananda Yogeshwarar) as the first pontiff. Around 450BCE, Adishankara (also known as Sanmathatthaban Desigar) revived the Madurai Aadheenam as its 117th Gurumahasannidhanams. Around 7 century CE the child saint, Thiru Jnanasambandar, revived Madurai Aadheenam, as its 214th Guru Maha Sannidhanam. Since that revival, several Gurumahasannidhanams have been selected and coronated to lead Madurai Aadheenam, with a total of 293 known Gurumahasannidanams.

On April 27, 2012, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was anointed the successor and 293rd Gurumahasannidanam of Madurai Aadheenam by Sri La Sri Arunagirinatha Swamigal, the 292nd Gurumahasannidanam of Madurai Aadheenam. To commemorate the occasion, the 292nd Gurumahasannidanam said: "Our 293rd Gurumahasannidanam Sri La Sri His Divine Holiness Paramacharya Swamigal is also a deep, not only deep, the deepest disciples of Saint Thiru Jnanasambandar. Not only that, he may be called as an avatar of Thiru Jnanasambandar," said Sri La Sri Arunagirinatha Swamigal, when coronating THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, as the Junior Pontiff or the 293rd Pontiff-to-be of the Madurai Aadheenam. He would further go on to say in many interviews that THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is the most qualified person for the post and that no one else had such knowledge, eloquence, grace, or accomplishments as him and that he had received the divine vision of Lord Sundareshwara and Devi Meenakshi (founders of the Madurai Aadheenam millennia ago) ordering the 292nd Guru Maha Sannidhanam to appoint THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as his successor and the 293rd Guru Maha Sannidhanam.

27 April 2012: Coronation of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as the 293rd Gurumahasannidanam by His predecessor, the 292nd Gurumahasannidanam Arunagirinatha Swamigal

Soon after the coronation of the 293rd Gurumahasannidanam, the Hindu government, acting through its temple management agency the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Board (HR&CE) filed a lawsuit objecting to the appointment and seeking to have it overturned. The HR&CE engaged in an aggressive legal and political smear campaign to undermine the 292nd Gurumahasannidanam's legitimacy by falsely accusing him of fraud and financial mismanagement, ultimately forcing him to withdraw his support for the 293rd Gurumahasannidanam. The State cited a Trust formed by the 292nd and 293rd Guru Maha Sannidhanams to be the indicator of financial mismanagement when the Trust did not have a bank account or any financial existence. Attempts were made to assassinate the 292nd Gurumahasannidanam and THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM by mob lynching along with monks of the Nithyananda order.

A vestige of the British colonial administration that ruled Bharat pre-Independence, the HR&CE is a government agency that exercises financial and operational control over all major Hindu temples and institutions in Bharat. The HR&CE has a long history of corruption, neglect, and mismanagement of Hindu temples resulting in the systematic destruction and looting of temple land, artifacts, deities, art, and infrastructure. In the same manner, like their British colonial predecessors, the Hindu government's HR&CE assumes control of financial decisions, operational decisions, and even leadership succession decisions under the paternalistic guise of preventing temple mismanagement or ensuring social welfare, but often doing so for political purposes. Commentators have noted the contradiction between such government control and Bharat's lip service to religious freedom:

"While the state argues that its intervention is necessary to bring about social welfare and reform as well as to correct historical social inequities, many view this kind of selective interference as aimed at 'reforming the religion out of its existence'. They say usurpation of Hindu endowments alone is against all tenets of what constitutes a 'principled separation' between the state and the religion.

They also hold that singling out a particular religion violates not only the very secular spirit of the Hindu Constitution but also the basic rights guaranteed under it. They opine that the HRCE Act infringes upon Article 25 of the Constitution, which guarantees the citizens their fundamental right to profess, practice, and propagate their religion, as well as establish and manage their religious institutions.

They point that while this right is very much available to followers of all other religions in the country, only Hindus have been constrained by the law.

In fact, the state governments have assumed total financial and managerial control over lakhs of Hindu temples across the country through their respective HRCE Acts, accusing their administrations of mismanagement of funds.

However, no other religious institution (barring Jains' as, by legal definition, they are Hindus)—churches, mosques, gurudwaras, pagodas, and synagogues belonging to Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Parsis, respectively— has been brought under the Acts despite similar allegations cropping up there too.

The fact of the matter is that in all these decades that Hindu religious institutions have been under the thumb of the HRCE departments, the ability of the Hindu community as a whole in managing its own institutions has been systematically clipped and pared down."

The nomination of a spiritual leader espousing the revival of Sanatana Hindu Dharma in all its tradition in an all-inclusive manner working on a grassroots level like THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to a position as important as the 293rd Gurumahasannidanam of Madurai Adheenam was completely unacceptable to the State that they had the HR&CE board immediately challenge the decision.

The HR&CE's campaign against THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is part of a decades-long attempt by both atheistic terrorist militants and right-wing Hindutva political entities to suppress Hindu and non-Hindu minorities and silence dissent. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is also the leader of the more than 5,000year-old indigenous spiritual tradition known as the Adi Shaivite Minority Tradition ("ASMT") in South Bharat. By His spiritual attainments, His systematic revival of authentic Hinduism, and its enlightened ecosystem as per the original Hindu scriptures (the Veda-Agamas), THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has made active contributions to humanity's spiritual evolution, thereby firmly establishing himself as the Pope of Hinduism. Paradoxically, in the process of taking Hinduism back to its authentic roots, He has revealed it to be the most progressive and inclusive spiritual tradition in the world. But, because of His spiritual accomplishments and redefinition of Hinduism per its original scriptural roots, caste supremacist militant Hindutva elements in Bharat view THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as an existential threat to their conservative, politicized version of Hinduism. As a result, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has been marked for death by majoritarian political forces in Bharat. To date, there have been assassination attempts and plots on THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM including physical attacks (such as strangulation and machete attacks), as well as poisoning, noxious asphyxiation, bombings, etc both as extra-judicial assassination attempts as well as attempts to assassinate by mob lynchings. In addition, there have been numerous death threats including public death threats on national television channels as well as on social media platforms which have incited innumerable orchestrated mob attacks on THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and the ASMT community resulting in gang rapes, violent assault, and battery.

Indeed, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's bold and progressive vision for Hinduism is underscored by an emphasis on openness and inclusiveness. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is not a member of a historically privileged community, He has publicly declared himself to be transcendental gender with multiple gender identity components, worn women's clothing in public, and strongly advocates for female empowerment, LGBTQ+ rights, and caste-neutral religious traditions. However modern and progressive these stances may appear, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has rooted each of them in the depths of the 5000 year-old source scriptures of Hinduism, the Vedas, and Agamas. Moreover, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has consistently been an outspoken voice for social justice and has publicly challenged political corruption, caste supremacy, and patriarchy in Bharat. ASMT community are some of the most vulnerable targets of the Neo-Hindutva extremism who despise Hindu women in monastic and priestly roles and are opposed to ASMT's progressive stance when it comes to the rights of women, including otherwise marginalized Dalit women, and the rights of members of the LGBTQ+ and transgendered communities as they consider them immoral.

• 150. This authentic revival of a progressive version of Hinduism has not gone unnoticed in Bharat's patriarchal society, particularly its conservative caste supremacist militant elements. The SPH's subversive message to a nation steeped in caste discrimination and gender violence has resulted in a full spectrum campaign of hate speech, media demonization, lawfare, assassination attempts on him and his followers, gang rape of his followers, acts of terrorism, torture, and the denial of judicial recourse over 10 years that continues to this day.
• 151. 18 Jun 2012, Neo-Hindutva extremists who had confiscated the temple properties of Madurai Aadheenam filed vexatious litigation against the 293rd Gurumahasannidhanam the SPH THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to restrain his entry into the Madurai Aadheenam and Arulmigu Meenakshi Sundareshwarar Temple. This malicious litigation was dismissed in 2016. This was not a sole such incidence. On 3 May 2018, the SPH was prohibited by the High Court of Madras itself from entering Madurai Aadheenam of which He is the successor. Though the order itself violates the constitution, Justice Mahadevan upheld the decision and even threatened the SPH that he would order the arrest of the SPH if He did not resign from His responsibility as the 293rd Pontiff of the Madurai Aadheenam. Right from 2012, the SPH was stopped from performing the essential religious rituals of the Arulmigu Meenakshi Sundareshwarar Temple, such as the Kumbha Abhishekham, which happens only once in several years and is one of the primary responsibilities of the Gurumahasannidhanam, who is the incarnation of Paramashiva, to directly supervise and perform. The interference of the State in rituals was not limited to stopping the Pontiff from participating. For several thousand years, Hindu rituals are performed in two ASMT languages – ancient Sanskrit and Classic (ancient) Tamil. Since modern Sanskrit and Hindi share the same written script (Devanagari), the State owing to its Hindi-antagonistic policy has made laws since the 1970s altering the ancient Hindu religious practices by imposing the use of the State compatible Tamil language against age-old Hindu religious traditions, customs, and scriptures. In 1975, the State absurdly claimed that the ancient ASMT language – Sanskrit – was a source of nepotism in society and thus changed the language of ASMT Temple rituals via a notification and altered the HR&CE Scheme in OA No.2 of 1973 dated 10 Oct 1975 appointing a government executive to control religious and financial matters of the monastery and associated temples. The State of Tamil Nadu, especially under DMK, emphasizes that ASMT religious practices be altered in compliance with the DMK ideology, and has thus in 2020 the State altered essential rituals such as Kumbha Abhishekham. Though the colonial government recognized the sovereignty of the heads of Hindu monasteries – for example on 3 Jan 1893 the Guru Maha Sannidhanam of Madurai Aadheenam was conferred with the title of Rao Bahadur, a title given to Kings by the British Empire, and also had sovereign immunity from arrests and appearances in the court, in 2012, the Chief Minister of Karnataka said, "We do not encourage such immoral people in Karnataka, and I am going to make an example out of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM", going to the extent of claiming that he (Chief Minister) was ready to face jail term but would not stop targeting the SPH THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and ordered an arbitrary and illegal arrest of the SPH. The Karnataka State High Court in its order CRL.P. 3253/2012 implicitly exposed the State terrorism, terming the arrest of the SPH as "illegal", "without any authority", "contrary to law", "without jurisdiction". Religious freedom in the 21st century State of the Republic of Bharat has sharply deteriorated in the past few years, which was protected even during the colonial rule which is known to be highly oppressive. It is no surprise that the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom has recommended for the second year in the row that the US State Department put Bharat on a list ('Countries of Particular Concern' or CPCs) for the worst violations of religious freedoms. Sweden-based V-Dem Institute has downgraded Bharat as an "electoral autocracy".
• 152. In 2017, the Madras High Court issued a ruling affirming the SPH's removal as the 293rd Gurumahasannidanam of the Madurai Adheenam and took the unprecedented step of forbidding him from entering the premises of the Meenakshi Amman temple or any other temple administered by the Madurai Adheenam. At the time the case was argued and ruled upon, the 292nd Gurumahasannidanam was ill and incapacitated and it remains unclear to what extent the arguments made on his behalf represented his actual opinions or those made under political pressure. Moreover, the Madras High Court's decision was inconsistent with the prior judgment of the Supreme Court in Ambalavana Pandara Sannathi v. State of Tamil Nadu (AIR 1983 Mad 72) that held "the appointment of junior pontiff is a right of a religious institution and the same cannot be interfered without proper cause."
• 153. Moreover, the Madras High Court's decision directly contradicted long-standing Hindu Supreme Court precedence which had ruled in Sri Mahalinga Thambiran Swamigal v. Sri La Sri His Holiness Kasivasi Arulnandithambiran Swamigal that the nomination of a junior Gurumahasannidanam could not be freely revoked by the senior Gurumahasannidhanam when the Madras High Court stated, "The fact of a person being legally nominated as junior, having a peculiar relationship with the senior is status, and the capacity to succeed to the head is the incident of that status. The status, when created by a nomination, cannot be withdrawn or cancelled at the mere will of the parties. The law must determine the condition and circumstances under which it can be terminated. Merely because the status originated from the act of a senior head in making the nomination, it would not follow that the senior head can put an end to it by another act … Even if it is assumed that the position of a junior head is not a status as known to law, we think that the relationship created by the nomination is one which cannot be put an end to by the head at his sweet will and pleasure."
• 154. By tradition and custom of the Madurai Aadheenam also, the appointment of the successor Guru Maha Sannidhanam cannot be revoked as he can be appointed only once in the lifetime of the current Guru Maha Sannidhanam. The translation reads:

"Particulars of important customs and usages.

Pertaining to the institution example agamas followed etc.

In this mutt temple according to the Kamika Agama and according to the Soma sambupatthi the daily and periodical pujas are being conducted.

The three initiations namely the Samaya Deeksha, Vishesha deeksha and Nirvana initiation are given to the mature individuals among the Saiva Vellalar community along with the consecration as Acharya. At no time other than the mentioned group the traditional practice to give Acharya consecration has been done. The initiation of the touch of Saiva Vellala will be given. At a time, only one person can be initiated as Acharya and no further person can be initiated."

Translated as:

"Particulars of the scheme of administration

If any, governing the institution such as by whom the scheme was settled and on what date. The schedule of establishment approved by the Commissioner in his R is 5822.60 on 29.11.60. The administration of the mutt is under the control of the mutt head of the Thirugnanasambandar Adheenam

The Pandya procedure of appointment:

The disciple of the Thirugnanasambandar Aadheenam mutt belonging to the Saiva Vellalar family or Karkattha Vellalar family, and who have gained mental maturity is consecrated with Nirvana Deeksha according to the tradition and they have the Acharya Abhishekam done according to the rules of the agama and they are called by the name Pandara

Sannadhi. Right from the time of Thirugnanasambandar it is in practice that when the elder Pandara Sannadhi attains siddhi the junior Pandara Sannadhi assumes the responsibility of all the administration of the mutt."

• 155. Far from behaving as a neutral fact-finder, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court not only accepted unproven allegations and negative media coverage of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as fact, those allegations also formed a significant basis for the court's decision to affirm the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's removal as the 293rd Gurumahasannidanam. Instead of relying on the near-universal legal principle of "innocent until proven guilty", the Hindu court assumed unresolved and spurious civil and criminal allegations against THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as proven and resolved against him by repeatedly referring to him as having a "criminal background", being a "habitual offender", "self-proclaimed godman", one "who has a criminal background and is a habitual offender, having involved in sexual abuse" and also as one who is "unknown to the principles of Saivism", "unfit to head the Mutt", "has not been leading a simple life, whereby the desires in life are eradicated", "mutt grabber." The Judge concluded that the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's appointment would bring "disrepute" to the Madurai Adheenam and condemned the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM even for approaching the Court for legal reprieve by calling the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM a "prolific litigant" and "has a quest for power". The Judge further made over-arching statements that "The country is mounting with self-proclaimed godmen like the eighth respondent, who claim to be spiritual gurus initially and later proclaim themselves to be god and in the process end up amassing wealth and abusing innocent and vulnerable children and women." To date, the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM or the ASMT community monks cannot enter their own monasteries and temples. The government and the police have been unwilling to provide protection and execute the court order and allow the community to continue the practice of sacred ASMT rituals in their temples.
• 156. In December 2020, in an update of its Tibetan Policy and Support Act, the US threatened to sanction any Chinese government officials who chose a reincarnation of the Dalai Lama over the wishes of the Tibetan people. To cover up the State interference in the selection process of the next Dalai Lama, the State of the People's Republic of China has been selecting and grooming a group of senior Lamas that would eventually be used for selecting CCP friendly alternative Dalai Lama and make it appear that the Dalai Lama was chosen by Tibetan Buddhist religious leaders, rather than CCP officials. In a much similar way, for several years, the State of Tamil Nadu headed by the DMK has been grooming Guru Maha Sannidhanams, such as the Dharmapuram Guru Maha Sannidhanam that are friendly to the party. Justice Mahadevan is a disciple of DMK groomed Dharmapuram Guru Maha Sannidhanam who has heavily lobbied for arbitrarily and illegally removing the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as the 293rd pontiff. On 3 May 2018, the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was prohibited by an order given by Justice Mahadevan of the High Court of Madras from entering Madurai Aadheenam of which He is the successor. Though the order itself violates the constitution, Justice Mahadevan, upheld the decision and even threatened the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM that he would order the arrest of the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM if He did not resign from His responsibility as the 293rd Pontiff of the Madurai Aadheenam. As per the

Constitution of Bharat, a person is to be treated as innocent until proven guilty, and no one has the right to pass judgment on such a person. The THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has never been implicated in any crime. Yet against the very Constitution of the country, He has repeatedly been treated in a prejudicial manner as assumed guilty. Justice Mahadevan went on to pass an order blatantly violating the fundamental rights of the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and against the very tenets of natural law and justice and on record said, "Who permitted you to record court proceedings? To whom were you sending-message about the proceeding? Don't think that this court is a playground. I will see that your ashram is vanished. Hundreds of complaints are pending against the ashram."

Justice Mahadevan of Madras High Court with GuruMahasannidhanam of Dharamapuram a leader of the committee which said: "we will not relent until THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is removed" .

• 157. In the very same matter, in 2012, the decision of the Division Bench of the High Court of Madras, Madurai Bench (higher authority than the single judge Justice Mahadevan) in WP 12915/2012 and WP 26567/2012, dated 31 Oct 2012, had ruled:
  • a. In Para 56 categorically that any decisions relating to the secular matters of the Aadheenam alone would come under the jurisdiction of any suit: "Hence, if any irregularities committed by the religions institution in administering the properties attached to the Mutt, which is a secular act and not connected with religious activities, and if there is any delay on the part of the State to take action, Public Interest Litigation could be entertained for the limited purpose to give a direction to the supervisory authority to initiate action so far as secular act is concerned."

• b. In Para 55: "In the instant case, on the factual aspects, we find that 10th respondent was appointed as Junior Pontiff in the month of April, 2012"

• c. In Para 52: "So far as the appointment of successor is concerned, it is purely religious act."

• 158. The attacks on the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM took on grave proportions as on 2 February 2018, there was an attack by explosive arson on The THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM at the Madurai Meenakshi temple. The attack gutted a section of the temple and caused a whole massive length of stone of the 3000-year-old structure to collapse and break. Though the district fire department claimed that the explosion was caused by electrical wires and whereas the police claimed that the analysis of CCTV footage suggested that the explosion was caused by camphor used in rituals, the examination of the nature of the cracks and fault lines along the pillars led police officers to suggest transfer of the case to CB-CID as they believed that camphor could by no means have triggered such an explosion and that they were triggered by a man-made explosion. On 8 Feb 2018, another fire accident happened in the temple, this time in the CCTV room destroying the CCTV records that potentially carried evidence of the previous fire.
• 159. The use of political, legal, and media persecution to delegitimize political dissidents and create an aura of controversy is a hallmark of authoritarian countries like China and Bharat where the rule of law often bows to political interests. In a classic example of circular logic, state actors and their allies in the media attack the dissidents and label them as "controversial" in the eyes of the public. State actors such as prosecutors and courts then use the artificially generated "controversy" as justification for further persecution. This dynamic played out in the Madurai High Court decision against the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM where the court held that He was "tainted with allegations" and therefore "likely to bring disrepute to the mutt" in justifying its decision to bar him from his position as 293rd Gurumahasannidanam or from entering temple premises. The court paternalistically referred to its duty, and the government Hindu Religious & Charitable Endowments agency's duty, to "protect" the reputation and integrity of religious institutions from spiritual leaders they deem to be unfit or corrupt. Therefore, the Hindu government first delegitimized the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM through a campaign of political persecution and then denied him fundamental constitutional rights on account of his presumed illegitimacy.
• 160. The Madras High Court also engaged in a lengthy analysis of Hindu Saivite traditions and scriptures with no references whatsoever before concluding that the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM did not have the requisite lifestyle, spiritual practices, hereditary background, or even name to be eligible to be the Gurumahasannidanam of the Madurai Adheenam. Far from appropriately limiting its role as an adjudicator of matters of law, the Hindu court unabashedly deemed itself to be the supreme ecclesiastical authority on matters of faith as well by blatantly opined on pure religious doctrine in

its decision against the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. This farce of so-called secularism in the Hindu state is as outrageous as the Chinese government published a state-approved list of Lamas authorized to represent Tibetan Buddhism.

• 161. Though Articles 25 and 26 of Bharat's constitution seemingly guarantee an individual's freedom of religion and a religious institution's ability to manage its own affairs, the Madras High Court specifically qualified those rights as subject to government intervention when those institutions fail to follow their own procedures or nominate unfit individuals for positions of leadership, as determined by state officials. Therefore, in authoritarian nations like China and Bharat where lip service is paid to religious freedom, the exception swallows the rule, and so-called fundamental rights are rendered null and void then they collide with state interests. In Bharat, as in China, religious institutions enjoy freedom and autonomy only to the extent permitted by their government overseers.

• 162. On 15 Apr 2014, The THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was coronated as the pontiff (spiritual and administrative head) of five ancient Adi Shaivite Mutts (monasteries). Kailasa Paramparagatha Surya Vamsa Panchanadikulam Sarvajnapeetham

• 163. On 23 Oct 2015, in Thiruvarur, Tamil Nadu, the neo-Hindutva extremists who had unlawfully encroached on the Thiruvarur ASMT temple (Sri Somanatha Swami Mutt and Temple) and were misusing the temple property, attacked an ASMT monk who was running the temple. The attackers gave a verbal threat to kill him and left. The police recorded a non-cognizable CSR report (Community service register).
• 164. On 27 Oct 2015, Thiruvarur, around 8 am, a female ASMT monk Ma Nithya Jyotikananda Swami was attacked by neo-Hindutva terrorists who molested her, inappropriately took pictures of her, and attempted to rape her inside the temple premises. As she shouted people gathered to protect her and the attackers escaped. After the incident, she went to the police station and cried and begged the Superintendent of Police for protection. Despite being shown photographic evidence of the attack the Superintendent of Police refused to accept her complaint, and on the contrary, accepted a false complaint filed by her attacker over the telephone without even demanding his physical presence or any evidence. Ma Nithya Jyotikananda Swami ran from one office to another.

She went to the Deputy Superintendent of Police, who remarked, "O you THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM people" and refused to register any complaint. She cried to him for protection addressing him as an elder brother showing her injuries, upon which he finally took pity and registered an FIR dated 27 October 2015. This did not remedy the situation. As of 2021, the case was disposed of without fair trial and her attackers are roaming freely.

• 165. 7 Nov 2015, Nagapattinam, to stop the interference in the management of the atheist and neo-Hindutva extremists, the ASMT community filed a petition in the Nagapattinam sub-court through OS 90/2015. The petition prayed for an injunction to restrain neo-Hindutva extremists from encroaching the temple land and attacking the ASMT members. 21 Nov 2015, the court passed a temporary order (IA 348/2015) in favor of the ASMT community, handing the possession to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM on 8 January 2016 till the suit gets over. This did not remedy the situation.
• 166. 26 Nov 2015, Thiruvarur, 10 AM, an ASMT monk, and a community member were physically assaulted by 10 militants. The injured received emergency treatment at the government hospital in Tiruvarur. The police registered a complaint. This did not remedy the situation.
• 167. 27 Nov 2015, Vedaranyam, Sri Po.Ka. Sadhukkal Mutt (monastery), a group of 10-15 militants forcibly entered into the monastery, taking count of the people and stock of the items in the temple property. Following this fifty more militants barged in and started brutally beating the ASMT monks, Sri Nithya Yogamayananda and Sri Nithya Jnanaprabhananda with iron rods. The militants sacrileged ASMT Hindu Deities and religious altars of the monastery. The militants lifted the heavy furniture, vessels and smashed these on the heads and bodies of the monks. Almost unconscious the monks were dragged to the street, where they continued to be beaten in front of a huge mob that had gathered around and watched the beating with bystander's apathy. One of the monks, Sri Nithya Yogamayananda had recorded the attack. The militants having realized it, chased him for more than a kilometer as he nearly escaped being mob lynched. The monks were given no ambulance or assistance by the State or civil society and had to seek even basic humanitarian first aid on their own by admitting themselves to the government hospital. The monks gave a police complaint which was rejected by the police. Only after much persistence, the police agreed to receive the complaint.
• 168. On Dec 6, 2015, Thiruvarur, anti-Hindu atheists uploaded a media report vilifying the ASMT community and glorifying the forceful eviction of the ASMT monks from the Sri Somanatha Swami Mutt (monastery) and Temple, Thiruvarur. The monks were seen in the video showing to the police and the media the court order from 7 Nov 2015 (to OS 90/2015), which established them as the rightful administrators of the temple. In Bharat, court orders are neither respected nor

implemented by the government. The police, the media, and the militants paid no heed to the court order, and together forcibly evicted the monks from their temple. To shame the ASMT monks, the militants who had attacked the monks uploaded the footage of eviction on Youtube and hatefully commented how they assaulted the monks, inciting hatred and violence against the community especially targeting the female monks.

• 169. 8 Dec 2015, Thanjavur, with the pretext of executing the Nagapattinam court order (OS 90/2015) the Tahsildar (Executive Magistrate) called for a meeting between the ASMT monks of the SPH and the neo-Hindutva militants who had captured the temple. The neo-Hindutva militants did not show up and refused to hand over the keys to the monastery. The Tahsildar (Executive Magistrate) did not execute the court order and adjourned the meeting until the next court hearing. The ASMT monks were unable to enter their temple, despite court orders favoring them. The neo-Hindutva terrorists and the government officials colluded to ensure that the meeting never took place and never achieved the intention for which it was supposedly called for. Again, on 16 Dec 2015, the extremist elements refused to hand over the keys to the monastery. The government officers accepted this and disregarded the court order.
• 170. 8 Jan 2015, Tanjore, The neo-Hindutva extremists, and atheist terrorist forces started to brutally attack the ASMT monks and violently beat them to vacate them from the property thereby denying THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to continue the spiritual administration of the monasteries. The first attack was in the Tanjore Palsamy mutt. The terrorist forces had sent a mob of 20 assassins armed with iron rods, wooden rods, and iron chains. They beat an ASMT member, Sri Nithyasthananda brutally till he collapsed. They then dragged him out of the mutt (monastery) and left while he was still helpless and bleeding. Nithyasthananda, with his head bleeding, pulled himself together and went on his own to the hospital. The police registered a complaint but refused to act on it.
• 171. 16 Feb 2016, Madras High Court, the neo-Hindutva extremists, and atheist terrorists filed a Civil Revision Petition (CRP) challenging the Nagapattinam Original Suit OS90/2015 interim ordering preventing them from interfering in the administration of the mutts by the followers of the SPH.
• 172. 29 Feb 2016, Thiruvarur, The Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO) of Thiruvarur called for a meeting and convinced the ASMT members to hand over the key to her. She reasoned that to maintain the peace between ASMT members and the anti-Hindu elements, the best thing to do was for the office to hold the key in possession till the revised petition in High Court concluded. Placing their full trust in the government and the government office, ASMT members handed over the key to the RDO.
• 173. 29 Jun 2017, Madras High Court, Further, The High Court Judicature Of Madras on the appeal in the form of CRP by the neo-Hindutva extremist forces passed a clear order on 29th June 2017 unequivocally establishing the Right of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM over the 5 mutts as the Pontiff and as the Spiritual administrator of the mutts and their properties.
• 174. 7 Jul 2017, Tanjore, Thiruvarur, Vedaranyam, Representatives of ASMT Community sent a petition to the police and other relevant government officers to give protection to enter the mutt. This was to avoid any unwanted attack or bloodshed by the anti-Hindu elements.
• 175. 26 Jul 2017, Thiruvarur, After obtaining the High Court order favoring the ASMT community, when members of the community approached the RDO, they realized how she (RDO) had been colluding with the local neo-Hindutva extremists and atheist terrorist forces from the beginning, as she refused to return the keys to ASMT members, who are the rightful owners. Instead, she had allowed the anti-Hindu elements to enter the mutt illegally, being fully aware of the Nagapattinam sub-court order and the Madras High Court Order. Till now, despite being backed up by the court orders, The SPH and ASMT members are not able to carry out the rituals or services or revival of the mutt.
• 176. 5 Aug 2017, Vedaranyam, The Government officers continued to work against court orders as the RDO canceled the meeting by being absent.
• 177. 12 Aug 2017, Tanjore, The Government officers continued to work against orders. The RDO, Tahsildar, and other Officers gave the excuse that they would not execute the court order as the opposing criminal elements were absent from the Peace meeting.
• 178. 12 Aug 2017, Vedaranyam, The Government officers continued to work against orders. The RDO, Tahsildar, and other Officers gave the excuse that they would not execute the court order as the opposing criminal elements were absent from the Peace meeting.
• 179. 19 Aug 2017, Tanjore, The Government officers continued to work against orders. The Tahsildar intentionally was absent from the meeting to create another excuse to postpone and never execute the court order.
• 180. 22 Aug 2017, Vedaranyam, The Government officers continued to flaunt court orders and intentionally create obstacles while pretending to execute them. The Vedaranyam RDO concluded the peace meetings citing the absence of the opposite party as the reason.
• 181. 26 Aug 2017, Tanjore, The Government officers continued to flaunt court orders and intentionally create obstacles while pretending to execute them.
• 182. 30 Apr 2019, Vedaranyam, The HR&CE passed an illegal order to bring the Sri Po.Ka. Sadhukkal Mutt in Vedaranyam under their control. This is against the interim injunction passed by the Nagapattinam Sub-court through IA 348/2015 which states clearly that The SPH is the rightful owner of the mutt till the suit comes to an end.
• 183. Jul 2019, although there is a High Court order in their favor the ASMT community monks cannot even dare to enter their own monasteries and temples. The government and the police have been unwilling to provide protection and execute the court order and allow the community to continue

the practice of sacred ASMT rituals in their temples. Throughout the recent five centuries or so these temples and monasteries have been constantly destroyed by successive rulers who opposed the ASMT Hindu religion. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is the only hope for the community for the revival of the ancient civilizations and had been working relentlessly to revive the spiritual ASMT traditions and its temples. Now the community lives in more fear as the anti-Hindu atheistic terrorist forces and neo-Hindutva extremist extremists in the government continuously attempted assassination of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. The ASMT community is thus faced with a bleak future, as they continue to battle the political and religious persecution, wherein they are not able to practice their religion and their temples and monasteries are slowly being destroyed by the government.

• 184. On 7 Nov 2012, Tiruvannamalai, the State government Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department sent a notice to the Tiruvannamalai Aadheenam (monastery) declaring the State's intent to take over the monastery. The Tiruvannamalai temple-monastery complex is private property. HR&CE (Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments board) attempted to falsely present it as a public temple to get ownership over it and destroy its cultural heritage. It is an ancestral property of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's pre-monastic family. HR&CE had no business nor jurisdiction to attempt to breach any private property. In principle the State takeover of Hindu temples by HR&CE is unconstitutional, but this was doubly illegal as they additionally falsely show the private ASMT temple as a public temple.
• 185. On 26 November 2012, in response to the show-cause notice of the HR&CE that the Tiruvannamalai Aadheenam (monastery) of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Dhyanapeetam falls under its purview, the Madras High Court ordered a status quo till the disposal of the case for both the parties – THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Dhyanapeetam, Tiruvannamalai and HR&CE. The Court clarified that THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Peetham, Tiruvannamalai can continue with all its services. The next hearing of the case was posted for December 5, 2012, when the HR&CE was directed to file its counter to the Writ Petition.
• 186. On 30 January 2013, Chennai the Hon'ble High Court of Madras allowed the Writ Petition filed by THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Dhyanapeetam and set aside the show cause notice issued by the HR&CE claiming that the Tiruvannamalai Aadheenam of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM comes under the purview of HR&CE as it is a Hindu religious institution. The Hon'ble High Court order clearly said that THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Dhyanapeetam Trust Deed and its objectives show that it is a Public Charitable Trust and thus HR&CE had no legal bearing in its claim. The Trust Deed clearly shows that the institution is open to all people, irrespective of caste, creed, or religion. The various construction activities on the premises are per the objectives of the Trust to spread meditation, yoga and provide various social services to the public at large. The Hon'ble High Court allowed the Writ Petition and the show cause notice was set aside because even the show cause notice was uncalled for as it was based on a non-existent foundation. This did not remedy the situation. The government filed another petition challenging this order. The appeal was also in the favor of the SPH, but it had a clear prohibition on doing any Hindu religious activities in the place.
• 187. 26 Feb 2013, Tiruvannamalai The ASMT Kumarakoil Murugar Temple was grabbed by Neo-Hindutva extremists. Kumaracoil Murugan Temple is a community temple that was run by the ASMT (Saiva Vellalar) community for many hundreds of years. The entire community recognized THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as the Incarnation of Annamalaiyar (Shiva) who descended on the planet earth and took birth in this community. The community Ordained Him as the Hereditary Trustee of Temple, who after assuming the responsibility, started major renovation work. Hindu extremists who could not tolerate this productive effort conspired to stop the project. Hindu Makkal Katchi, a Neo-Hindutva extremist political party, filed a vexatious complaint against the temple trustees, claiming that they were mishandling the temple money. Based on this accusation, the Government body, the Hindu Religious Charitable Endowment board, illegally took over the temple and appointed an Executive officer for the temple. A huge legal battle followed and in the end, the ASMT community got the order from the High Court of Chennai, that the community can run the Temple administration. Despite the court order, the community is unable to start the Temple activities because the anti-Hindu extremists are continuously attacking the temple and trustees physically. They also released false propaganda in the media about the temple trustees. To this day, the temple remains in the same state, needing renovation and authentic services for the public have not been started.
• 188. 7 Dec 2013, Tiruvannamalai: Charitable free organic food service of the ASMT Tiruvannamalai monastery was stopped by the Government Food Department. Many devotees were affected by this wrongful decision. ASMT monks and community members appealed to the District Collector with evidence of the quality of service that was offered by the monastery. The Collector intervened and issued an order for Tiruvannamalai Aadheenam to continue with food offering service. Later the Food department visited Aadheenam again for an inspection and concluded that the food was of first-class quality and best practices of hygiene were being followed. This was a complete turnaround from the earlier observations it claimed. This did not remedy the situation as various vexatious litigations continued to be made to stop religious and charitable services done by the ASMT.
• 189. 8 Nov 2019, the government withdrew its petition that challenged the court order dismissing the government's claim over the ASMT monastery in Tiruvannamalai. Assistant Commissioner, HR & CE Department, Thiruvannamalai, filed in the court: "7) It is submitted that the Ashram also has a large Kitchen area with many utensils (big & small) which is capable of preparing food for more than 500 people at once. Near the Kitchen there is also a Library and rooms for the Ashram members to stay. …

10. It is most humbly submitted that during the Inspection it was clear that there is no consecration of Idol in the Ashram and there is no Idol Worship there."

• 190. This did not remedy the damage. The memo submitted by the Government showed that if any Hindu Deities were placed in the monastery the HR&CE department could again claim ownership of the monastery by vexatious legal processes. Hinduism cannot be practiced freely in Bharat as the government taxes the practice of Hinduism exclusively, and misappropriate all funds donated by devotees for religious and social purposes. This is done by both the Neo-Hindutva extremists and anti-Hindu atheists. The State Governments in Bharat have been ordered time and again by the Supreme Court to withdraw themselves from Temple administration but neither the government nor the government officials respect court orders in Bharat.

• 191. 24 May 1994, a year before her death, Mata Vibhutananda Puri, declared Rajasekaran as Her successor to the spiritual seat of Arunachala Sarvajnapeetham, Tiruvannamalai, by Guru Parampara (Guru lineage) from Isakki Swamigal, and gave the title "Brahmasukhi" through a formal initiation letter. She built and gifted Him a small ashram (monastery) in Pavazhakundru. Pavazhakundru is a sacred hillock in Tiruvannamalai where Devi Parashakti (primordial Hindu Mother Goddess) had Her enlightenment experience during one of Her incarnations on the planet earth. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM also had His first enlightenment experience in Pavalakundru. Even though all the property documents show THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as the owner of the land, the Tamil Nadu State Government has repeatedly prevented the monks and nuns of the SPH from performing puja (worship) to the sacred hill. Monks were forcibly evacuated by authorities beaten and raped in front of the State Police by State-groomed militants of the DMK and CPI(M).
• 192. 16 June 2017, Pavazhakundru, three nuns Ma Nithya Deepikananda Swami, Ma Nithya Satyagjnananda Swami, and her per-monastic minor daughter Ma Nithya Prajnanananda, were cleaning the area around Paramashiva Shila (the sacred rock worshipped as a Deity) for worship. They were attacked and tied up by State groomed militants of CPI(M). The militants defiled the Paramashiva Shila (the rock worshipped as a Deity) with footwear and drew lewd figures on it. Ma Nithya Satyagjnananda Swami was brutally beaten. Meanwhile Ma Nithya Deepikananda Swami was trying to protect the deities and a young nun. The child was trying to protect herself by being close to the senior nun. The child expected help from the policemen, but they pushed her amongst each other, something which deeply terrorized her about the role of the police in society. ASMT monk Parabrahmananda Maharaj survived an attempted murder. The community sent letters of appeal to the District Executive Officer who ignored all their appeals. Despite peacefully using the land for more than three decades, and showing all land documents, along with bills and vouchers of annual fees that were paid to the State Revenue department the State authorities headed by the district collector, declared the hut to be an illegal construction and ordered demolition. The hut where worship items were kept was torn down by police and aired in media and publicized as demolition of illegal construction. The politically owned media reported this event in a biased way, they cruelly vilified the ASMT nuns and monks and addressed them as "cheats", "landgrabbers" along with other stereotypes that the politically owned media had established to marginalize the community – "sodomized disciples" , "witches" , "prostitutes" , "sex slaves" .
• 193. This was not a sole incidence. Even though all the property documents were shown to authorities repeatedly and they were convinced the attacks did not stop. On 5 February 2017, ASMT monk Sri Nithya Bhaktimayananda Swami escaped an attempt to murder with a bleeding head. On 22 June 2017, nuns were forcibly evicted while worshiping the Paramashiva Shila (the sacred rock worshipped as a Deity) and taken to Police Station beyond permissible time per law for women to be arrested or kept for interrogation. They were threatened by the police and released. 18 May 2018, the Paramashiva Shila (the sacred rock worshipped as a Deity) was vandalized again – the anti-Hindu terrorists from CPI(M) and DMK urinated on the deity and defiled it with slippers, and broke the worship altars.

• 194. 09 Jun 2012, Bengaluru, Chief Minister of Karnataka State D V Sadananda Gowda, went on air and declared the Government's stand to prosecute the SPH and the ASMT community. He announced the State takeover of the privately owned temple monastery and the arrest of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. The Chief Minister made the following statements:
  • a. "Bail of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM should be canceled and he should be arrested" ,

• b. "I have asked the district administrator to seize the Dhynapeeth Ashram of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and recover all documents and arrest him immediately"

• c. "I have asked the Police to file strong objections against his bail petition".

• d. The arrest of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM swami should be done as early as possible and a serious mechanism should be opted for this purpose. We received the report. The Law Minister, the Home Minister and the District minister along with officers we had detailed discussion and they decided to hold a high-level inquiry headed by the regional commissioner to look into the matter in detail

• e. He also told on June 11: "I have directed the investigators to frame a perfect charge sheet against THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and I will ensure that this is so. We do not encourage such immoral people in Karnataka, and I am going to make an example out of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM."

• f. The Chief Minister of the State went to the extent of claiming that he was ready to face jail term but would not stop targeting The SPH THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.

• g. The Law Minister of Karnataka, Suresh Kumar, said, "The Karnataka government has been planning to take over the ashram of controversial self-styled godman THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM at Bidadi, taking into view allegations of objectionable activities taking place there. The government is mulling to take control of the administration of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Dhyanapeetam situated at Bidadi following allegations of objectionable activities going on in there. He said the government was also planning to appoint an administrator for the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Dhyanapeetam, located in the Ramanagara district.

• 195. Shankarappa who is a legal expert gave his legal opinion on the matter as, "The chief minister's order is illegal, and he acted in haste. The political head of the state has no power to order anyone's arrest as it is an infringement of an individual's rights. It is unfortunate.. he seems to have surrendered himself to some vested interests. If anyone has a grievance, he should file a complaint. Or police can take up a suo motu case and investigate what occurred in the ashram. Media reports cannot be the basis for any order".
• 196. 11 Jun 2012, State Police seizes temple property, seals the Monastery, enforces curfew, displacing hundreds of residents.
• 197. 13 Jun 2012, The SPH came to Court to apply for anticipatory bail for a crime that He was framed on illegally – breach of peace. On the contrary, His monastery complex was trespassed into by neo-Hindutva terrorists who barged into the monastery and attempted to murder the administrator of the monastery and raped female monks, and assaulted male monks to murder them. This was broadcast live on television. But the police slapped a case of breach of peace and assault against The SPH instead. When the SPH came to apply for anticipatory bail in this false case, the police arrested Him and took Him into custody. They again attempted to assassinate The SPH taking Him to an undisclosed location. They kept Him in police custody in the night where he was again deprived of food and given poisonous food thereafter.
• 198. 14 Jun 2012, The SPH THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was granted bail. But the SPH was immediately arrested in yet another false case. A 600 battalion police force was used to arrest and take Him into custody. Public money to the tune of 30 million INR was used and The SPH was paraded in the streets of the city, showcasing him as if He was a most wanted terrorist and enemy of the State. Ironically, the District Commissioner in the guise of protecting the SPH arrested Him. Even if the false charges under which the SPH was arrested were considered to be true, were a bailable offense, even if, which show the extent of the illegality of the government's actions.
• 199. The High Court in its order implicitly exposed the State terrorism, where it termed the arrest of SPH in 2012 as "illegal", "without any authority", "contrary to law", "without jurisdiction". This did not remedy the situation. There were no repercussions for perpetrators of the crime who were protected by the State. This is the reason why assassination attempts, illegal imprisonment, and custodial torture was repeatedly done to SPH until 2018 when SPH was forced to withdraw from public life in Bharat. The Chief Minister who had openly given orders to the police to use the brutal force of SPH only escalated in his position and capacity in the government and became the Central Government's Law Minister.
• 200. The State of the Republic of Bharat made several attempts to illegally capture temples of the ASMT community. The land where the Adi Kailasa Bengaluru Aadheenam (temple-monastery), Bidadi, is constructed is owned by the temple trust. In 2020, the High Court of Karnataka directed the Ramanagara District court to attach all properties owned by the SPH. The SPH is a Hindu monk and following the religious practices of Aparigraha as per Hinduism (which is similar to the vow of poverty that His Holiness Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, the Bishop of Rome (Pope) takes) has not even one piece of land or bank account to His name. The police did not attach any property unlike as directed by the court as there are none. For this, on 30 March 2021, the court order accused the police of "not been cooperating with the court", as if there were properties in the name of the SPH which the police were not reporting to the court. The order has been quoted below:

"In this case the complainant COD police has not been cooperating with the court by furnishing details of property of accused THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. It is their say that accused THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has property at Bidadi by having his own Ashram. But so far no details of such property is mentioned by the respondent COD police. Since the tenure of the P.O. of this court i.e., for the last 2 years there has been no progress in the case on hand particularly in the matter of procuring accused THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. On each and every date of hearing the officers who represent complainant COD before this court gives one or other reason without taking any satisfactory steps. On questioning the so called Nodal Officer who visits this court once in while submits that the property at Bidadi i.e., THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Ashrama Property has been in the name of the mother of accused THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. But no steps are taken by the complainant COD Police to attach other properties of Ashram at Bidadi which is in the name of accused THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. This court is not at all satisfied with the answers given by the so called Nodal Officer from time to time. Therefore, the following ORDER The Nodal Officer/the officer in-charge of this case in whatsoever capacity shall take proper steps in terms of Cr.PC by taking steps to attach the property at Bidadi Ashram so as to procure accused THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and other accused persons who are regularly remaining absent before this court. A3 to A6 are absent. EP filed. For proper steps in this behalf by 17.04.2021."

• 201. 6 June 2020: Taking advantage of the lockdown due to the CORONA pandemic, and the lack of clear visibility of Government illegalities and brutalities, the State Government of Uttar Pradesh destroyed the Hindu Temple of The Kashi Sarvajnapeetha of the SPH at Manikarnika Ghat, Varanasi. At around 1 AM neo-Hindutva militants destroyed the temple using heavy machinery and earthmover machines. The Hindu monks were still inside but managed to escape from death in the collapsing temple building.
• 202. The demolition was completely illegal and done despite multiple High Court orders that specifically had given a stay order in favor of the ASMT and forbid the government from touching the property including the High Court order to W.P. 58947/2017 (dated 11 Dec 2017) specifically prohibiting the government to demolish the Kashi Sarvajnapeetha. Both District Court and High Court orders were ridiculed by the government officials.
• 203. The sacrilege of the deities and destruction of the temple caused great pain to the Hindu monks to Hindus worldwide who witnessed the shocking events on social media.
• 204. The Hindu monks tried to stop the heavy machinery by using their bodies as an obstacle. ASMT monk Sri Nithya Shantimayananda Swami's neck was broken, still, he fastened his body to the steel rebars to protect the Temple from the terror attack. Sri Nithya Shantimayananda Swami was subjected to cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment by Police, who broke his neck and took him in custody. All legal recourse was denied. Several Hindu monks have died due to these atrocities of the police and militants.
• 205. When the Mahant (ASMT regional head), went to the government officials in protest of what they had done and showed the High court order to them and exposed the wrong that they had done, the government officials led by Vishal Singh (Head of the government project) challenged him - "Yes, I am doing Contempt of Court, so what will you put me in jail?! Try doing and see," and threw the High Court order copy in the office dustbin.

6 June 2020: When the Mahant (ASMT regional head), went to the government officials in protest of what they had done and showed the High court order to them and exposed the wrong that they had done, the government officials led by Vishal Singh (Head of the government project) challenged him - "Yes I am doing Contempt of Court, so what will you put me in jail?! Try doing and see," and threw the High Court order copy in the office dustbin.

• 206. In several attacks made on the ASMT monastery during 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2019 the traditional schools (Gurukuls) imparting education inside the monastery had to be shut. The Karnataka State Government was either unable to or unwilling to curtail these attacks and on the contrary, chose to vexatiously prosecute the victims.
• 207. The right of indigenous peoples to education is protected by the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which in Article 14 states that "Indigenous peoples have the right to establish and control their educational systems and institutions providing education in their own languages, in a manner appropriate to their cultural methods of teaching and learning." Similarly, many international conventions such as UNHR - Article 26; ICESCR - Articles 13 and 14; ICCPR - Article - 18 and 26 rights of religious minorities to offer religious and indigenous education to their children.
• 208. Similarly, the rights of ASMT schools imparting religious and indigenous education are protected under Articles 26, 29, and 30 of the Constitution of the Republic of Bharat.

• 209. Further to the Government circular F.No. 1-15/2010-EE-4 , the Government of Bharat, Ministry of Human Resource Development, Department of School Education & Literacy dated 23 Nov 2010, clearly mentioned that in point 3. - "Institutions. intruding Madrasa and Vedic Pathshalas especially serving religious and linguistic minorities are protected under Article 29 and 30 of the Constitution. The RTE Act does not come in the way of continuance of such institutions or the rights of children in such institutions." This is a well-known fact and is covered by the media.
• 210. Despite various international laws, constitutions principles, central (federal) and state (provincial) laws, and policies acknowledging the right of the indigenous communities to run schools imparting religious and indigenous education, the Government of the State of Karnataka targeted the ASMT Hindu schools (Gurukuls) using a lawfare of vexatious litigation and malicious prosecution.
• 211. On 9 June 2012, the Chief Minister of the State, Sadananda Gowda grossly misused his power and the government machinery to execute a series of State-sponsored terror attacks on the ASMT community. The High Court in its order implicitly exposed this State terrorism, where it termed the entire government process as "illegal", "without any authority", "contrary to law", "without jurisdiction". This did not remedy the situation. There were neither any repercussions for any of the state authorities responsible nor any sign of remorse or apology from perpetrators of the crime – including the Chief Minister of the State.
• 212. Following these illegal orders from the Chief Minister of the state, since August 2012 onwards up to date (2019), there have been consistent efforts by the Karnataka State Government to shut down the Nithyananda Gurukul (the indigenous and religious school run by the followers of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as per the ASMT tradition.)
• 213. August 2012: The Karnataka State CWC (Child Welfare Committee) sent an independent body comprising citizens to inspect the conditions of the Nithyananda Gurukul. The government's objective was to harass the children, teachers, and parents and to make them wary, and ultimately shut down the Gurukul.
• 214. However, contrary to the expectations of the government the Committee that comprised a group of citizens (similar to a jury) gave a positive report:

"We five members of Child Welfare Committee came to visit the ashram and see the students/children who are staying in the ashram. We found that all children have been taken good care and provided with good food, shelter, and education. We had an interaction with children and we are satisfied with (the) facilities offered. We thank the volunteers, staff, and disciples for cooperating (with) us to carry out our duties and responsibilities. We have advised the staff to obtain prerequisite permission from the women and child welfare department to stay fit institution approval. We wish the ashram all the best in our future endeavors."

• 215. August 2012 to until about a year, July 2013 (and beyond) the Gurukul and other social and spiritual causes of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM were under constant attack by the media through hate speech for incitement of violence. For example, an attack was executed on 13 January 2014 on Uttarahalli monastery. While all the hate propaganda against THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and the ASMT community was being aired non-stop on Kannada language news channels, the Karnataka State Child Rights commission came to Gurukul without notice and interrogated the children. The Karnataka State Child Rights commission bullied the children. The parents of the children were not present, and no prior permission of the parents or the Gurukul (the ASMT school) was ever sought by the Karnataka State Child Rights Commission. The Karnataka State Child Rights commission came uninvited, without informing, and without permission of any sort. The state authorities could not find anything wrong but the Karnataka State Child Rights Commission and Department of Women and Children and other government agencies kept on making several such visits and harassed the children, intimidating them to leave the school. The Karnataka State Child Rights commission authorities asked children inappropriate and humiliating questions, such as:

• a. They mocked their traditional dressing, demanding them to wear jeans and pants instead of traditional saffron robes.

• b. They mocked the organic vegetarian traditional food that the children were eating.

• c. The children were sitting on the ground and eating, as that is the ancient ASMT tradition, the board questioned that and many simple ancient traditional ancient lifestyle aspects.

• d. They intimidated the children by claiming that they had no future in the Nithyananda Gurukul and that they should leave. The threats were not ordinary and children reported to the Principal of being bullied and harassed by the officers.

• e. The testimonials of the children of the harassment by the various government departments who made several unauthorized visits have been documented by the children and parents.

• 216. 17 Sep 2013, the Karnataka State CWC officials forcibly, cruelly, and illegally interrogated children in the Gurukul. It was done without parental consent, without any video recording. CWC representative Radha. K acknowledging with a signed letter that she came to see gurukul with the police. This visit was after 7:30 PM late-night beyond the time permissible by law (6 PM). The State interrogators shamed, ridiculed, and humiliated the children, particularly girls for their traditional dress, pressured them to quit their spiritual-religious lifestyle.
• 217. 19 Sep 2013, FIR 340/2013 Bidadi PS dated 19-Sept-2013 IPC 186 against Ragasudha Vasundhara Shivanna, the legal counsel for the school and parents, for intervening in the violation of the rights of children and parents and reminding the police officers and CWC team members that it was not appropriate and illegal in fact to interrogate children in absence of their guardians that also after 6 PM (the official raided at 7:30 PM). For this, the government fabricated an accusation of IPC 186 which reads - "Obstructing public servant in discharge of public functions. —Whoever voluntarily obstructs any public servant in the discharge of his public functions, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three months, or with fine which may extend to five hundred rupees, or with both."
• 218. 21 Sep 2013, the Karnataka Government District Children Protection Committee (Women and Children Welfare Department) issued a show-cause notice, wherein they made false allegations claiming that children were kept there illegally and ordered parents of all children to appear for interrogation. Parents from all over the country had to fly to meet the government demands, which they did.
• 219. 15 Oct 2013, the parents of the children fight against the government for their constitutional, religious, and human rights to have their children educated as per ancient ASMT tradition. The State Government officers claimed that the parents were fake and demanded them to produce all documents to prove they are the real parents. The parents established this by producing various documents such as – state issues biometric-ids, passports, birth certificates, and other documents. However, the State Government officers maliciously maintained that the children were orphans. They criminally intimated the children pressurizing them to leave the Gurukul and go with their parents or they will be taken away by the Government officers. The entire attack by the government was reported by various politically owned Kannada language news channels that re-iterated the false claims of the government such as the claim the children were orphans and even absurd claims such as that the parents of the children were fake. About 19 children and their parents were intimidated and harassed by the Government officers to the extent that they had no choice other than to leave.
• 220. 16 Oct 2013, in a politically owned neo-Hindutva newspaper, named Hindu Express it was published that the Karnataka State CWC Officer, Shivalingaiah said, "We found the children brilliant". However, the Officer falsely claimed, "But they are not receiving formal education. They (the ashram) do not have accreditation from any government agency, they do not follow the law of the land and do not have an authentic syllabus for the children." Several other politically owned newspapers such as the Deccan Herald also spread misinformation and justified the state's legal terrorism by falsely accusing the traditional school of child rights violation whereas in reality the state was persecuted their children and their parents using vexatious proceedings. The claims of the Karnataka State CWC were malicious, vindictive, and completely counterfactual. The fact that the education was not as per one of the secular state education systems and the fact that as per Right To Education (R.T.E.) Act Section-1(5) - Vedic Pathashalas (Indigenous, religious, traditional Hindu schools) are exempt from the purview of the RTE Act, it simply meant that the CWC had no jurisdiction or rights in interfering with the school. This was also later pointed out by the High Court in its order in a writ petition in 2018. This simply showed that the CWC did not follow any law or procedures and were just twisting logic and violating the law to realize their aim to shut down the Gurukul and deny the children of religious and indigenous education. The children were receiving formal education which was as per IGCSE Edexcel. The authorities were presented the relevant documents such as:

(1) The Certificate of approval of EDEXCEL UK to the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Gurukul to offer Non-Religious conventional education with Edexcel Academic Qualifications

(2) Documents showing the recognition of EDEXCEL courses by the central education board – the Council of Boards of School Education in Bharat

(3) Documents showing the recognition by the Association of Hindu Universities for EDEXCEL 10th Grade courses as equivalent to those offered by Hindu boards.

(4) Documents showing recognition by the Association of Hindu Universities for EDEXCEL 12th grade courses as equivalent to those offered by Hindu boards.

None of these submissions remedy the damage and the state continued the lawfare and legal terrorism.

• 221. On 8 Feb 2014, the Officers from the Department of Women and children announced their plans on television to shut down the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Gurukul. On multiple occasions - (1) order dated 29 Jan 2014, passed by the Director (2) order dated 11 Feb 2014 passed by the Commissioner - The State Public Education Department, maliciously rejected the application of ASMT community school without providing any hearing which is contrary to the provisions of law as per Karnataka Education Act. On 11 Feb 2014, this was pointed out by the community and submitted in their Amended Writ Petition WP 8805/2013 (END RED) WP-8830-873/2014 .
• 222. Subsequently, on 13 Feb 2014, the State Government sent a notice through the State Police to the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Gurukul to shut it down and within a timeline 7 days from receiving the notice to send the children of the Gurukul to a nearby Government school or a private school.
• 223. 14 Feb 2014, the State Minister of education publicly re-iterated the lies spread earlier through the media and ordered the shutdown of the Gurukula arbitrarily without any verification of facts and due process. This was reported in the Hindu newspaper (politically linked to the DK/DMK anti-Hindu terrorists) Vol 45 No. 38 dated 14 Feb 2014, in an article titled "Action to be taken against THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's gurukula" wherein the State Minister of education parroted the old same lies as earlier.
• 224. 17 Feb 2014, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Gurukul appealed in the High Court for a stay order; and it was granted by the High Court.
• 225. 26 Mar 2014, in response to the Writ Petition WP. 8805/2014 (END-RES) the State Government filed a Statement of Objection (BV/ma/26032014/2+1) dated 26-March-2014. The state government made a false statement in court that IGCSE is not recognized by the Government. The state government statement was false – IGCSE is recognized as equivalent to Central and State Education Boards and this is evident by COBSE Circular number COBSE/C.280/2011 dated April 18, 2011; AIA Circular No.EV/II(281/2013/1958 dated Dec 06, 2013; AIA Circular No. EV/II(281)/2008/188 dated December 17/2008 etc.
• 226. The ASMT community submitted an Amended Writ Petition WP 8805/2013 (END RED) WP-8830- 873/2014 to address the lies by the State Government. The community cited the proof showing that IGCSE is a recognized equivalent to Central and State Education Boards. The community also exposed the malicious prosecution of ASMT by the State Public Education Department, that it rejected the application without providing any hearing which is contrary to the provisions of law as per the Karnataka Education Act. As per the Karnataka Education Act, 1983 clause (c) & (d) of Section 2(27) the institutions giving, providing, or imparting only religious instructions as well as the institutions imparting instructions for which there is no approved syllabi or course of studies of the Government. Therefore, the ASMT gurukul is excluded from the purview of the Karnataka Education Act. Despite this, the State Government of Karnataka used the sections of the Karnataka Education Act to persecute the community and its children. As per the Karnataka Education Act, the application for starting a regular school as per the State law should be processed in 3 months. However, the application which was submitted by the ASMT community in 2013 was rejected in 2014 moreover rejection no written reasons for rejection were given which was also illegal. The rejection order denigrated and ridiculed the spiritual names given to students as per native Hindu Vedic tradition and with the consent of parents.
• 227. 17 Sep 2014, even after the stay order the officers of the Department of Women and Children did not stop harassing and made another visit and interrogated the children in the same inhumane, cruel, and degrading manner.
• 228. 19 Nov 2014, further, the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Gurukul kept knocking on every door for justice, and approached and submitted an appeal to the Minister for Women & Children, the Chief Minister, the Governor, State, and National Human Rights Commission.
• 229. From 2014 to 2019 for five years the status quo was somehow maintained because of the stay order granted by the High Court on 17 Feb 2014. Various government departments and television channels continued to harass in different ways.
• 230. Finally, on 12 Mar 2019, the High Court passed an order quashing the illegal notice and proceeding of the Department. In the High Court of Karnataka, Writ Petition 8806 of 2014 (Order dated - 12- March-2019), the High Court ordered the Block Education Officer to drop all proceedings against the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Gurukul. Some highlights of the court order:
  • a. In point number 12, the High Court recognized that the order by the Block Education Officer was unauthorized. Further, the Court recognized that since the children were not following conventional secular State Education, the notion of Class I to Class X did not apply to them so the notice to shift the children from Class I to Class X out of the Gurukul was unauthorized and did not apply to the Gurukul.
  • b. The High Court ordered the Block Education Officer to drop all proceedings against the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Gurukul.
  • c. In the conclusion, the High Court directed the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Gurukul to resubmit their application to start another school called THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Vidyalaya (as per the secular State Board apart from the traditional THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Gurukul) and directed the Block Education Officer to consider the application without prejudice as per law.
• 231. This did not remedy the situation. Even after March 2019, the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Gurukul continue the struggle to run traditional and indigenous traditional schools for the ASMT children despite the hostile government. The caste supremacist media continue their hate speech, slanderous, and defamatory attacks against the Gurukul. The hate speech also continued on social media, and several children were subjected directly to such hate speech attacks. 14 August 2019, only after six months of the court order, finally the Regional Education Officer passed the order (03/2012- 13/19-20 [250/19-20 / 14/8/19]) dated 14 August 2019 to repeal the order of closure of gurukul.
• 232. From 2013 up until 2019, a person named Janardhan Sharma took refuge in the monastery citing a series of heart attacks, heart surgery, and inability to work to sustain himself and his family. He, his wife, and four children were supported by the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and the ASMT community. The children were given free education, free health care, their traveling expenses, etc. were all borne by the monastery. The community tried to support him while his health recovered. To avoid exertion given his fragile health Janardhan Sharma was given simple tasks such as mentoring children studying Sanskrit, for which he withdrew salary but never actually conducted any classes. Janardhan Sharma pretended to be in a key position of power in the monastery during his time and tried to force himself into many negotiations of high-value contracts with external vendors, manipulated the purchase process. By 2019, his two daughters had become Hindu monks and got involved in the temple administration. His daughters (Ma Nithay Tattvapriyanadna and Ma Nithyanandita) while scrutinizing temple purchases discovered the financial irregularities done by their father. Upon being exposed for his crimes and being confronted by his daughters, Janardhan filed a complaint with the Gujarat Police, falsely alleging that his daughters had been abducted. On 2nd and 3rd November 2019, his daughter Ma Nithyanandita met the Gujarat Police officers and gave a handwritten statement denying all allegations of her father as false and baseless. She clarified she was residing in the Hindu monastery of the SPH voluntarily and happily and requested the police to close the false case. This should have officially brought the case to closure, but it did not.

• 233. In November 2019, the State atrocity was much more appalling. On 15 November 2019, the Gujarat State government (CWC) Child Welfare Commission officials raided the female monastery and molested the children studying there, particularly the minor girls and boys studying there. The

Gujarat State CWC officials and the State policemen showed pornography to the children. When a small girl went to change her clothes the state officials peeped into the bathroom. The state officials pulled the Jattas (dreadlocks) of the children causing them physical pain and emotional pain due to the ridicule. The state officials intimidated the children threatening to put them in jail if they did not attest to the views of the state officials. Some officers pressurized the children to eat unhealthy processed substances containing non-vegetarian substances avoided by the ASMT community on religious grounds and for health reasons. Children were traumatized by these harassments and for more than a year, a few children became so afraid of going to the bathroom alone that they would otherwise keep the door open in fear somebody might suddenly barge in. The statement of the children collected by coercion by the Gujarat State CWC officials and the State police and were further manipulated by these officials wherein the officials attributed false statements against the names of the children and included the names of these children as witnesses of these claims (made by the state authorities) in the charge sheet made against the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and volunteer nuns working in the monastery.

• 234. For the abuse done to children, the CWC officials were pulled up by the parents of these children in the High Court.

• 235. Following the High Court order fourteen Gujarat State government (CWC) Child Welfare Commission officials and the Gujarat State government Police officers who had raided the female monastery on the order of a Special Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Court were booked under POCSO Act for showing pornographic material to children.
• 236. Unable to avail justice, the Hindu monks Ma Nithyananditha, Ma Nithya Tattvapriyananda fled to escape police torture and enhanced interrogation aimed at forcing them to give a false confession. Ma Nithyananditha, Ma Nithya Tattvapriyananda jointly gave several video statements explaining their stand of why they wanted to continue their monastic life and how they were being harassed by the State Police to give false statements. They submitted four signed affidavits to the High Court of Gujarat from (i) Trinidad and Tobago, (ii)Virginia, (iii) Barbados, (iv) The High Commission of Bharat of Kingston Jamaica, which the court finally accepted. In their affidavits they also cited that their

father had sided with highly influential neo-Hindutva politicians who were using the State Police to torture them into a false confession and their fair representation was impossible in Bharat, owing to which they had no option but to flee Bharat and submit their affidavits and video statements to the High Commission of Bharat of Kingston Jamaica only which the courts finally accepted.

• 237. 25 Nov 2019, the police arrested two female monks Ma Nithya Pranapriyananda and Ma Nithya Priyatattvananda from the monastery on false charges of kidnap, of their sister-disciple Ma Nithyananditha. The State arrested them on these false charges without even a warrant grossly undermining their human rights and due process rights. One of the nuns Ma Nithya Pranapriyananda was undergoing catamenial fever. Both the nuns had been interrogated for more than 48 hours without break by the state authorities that had completely exhausted them. The nuns had pleaded for rest for some time but were inhumanely and cruelly treated by excessive use of force by the state police. The police even forcibly entered their room violating their rights to privacy as a person and toppled their bed violating their dignity as women and their chastity as female monks, and dragged them into the police van given that they were weak to walk by themselves. They were kept imprisoned for almost 3 months and until 7 February 2020 (75 days). For these three months of imprisonment, the state police officers several times a day dehumanized the female monks making extremely vulgar, derogatory, and threatening statements such as asking to dance naked which they wished to record live for YouTube. The cruel, inhumane, and denigrating treatment done to the female monks was normalized by publicly ridiculing them on nonsensical allegations such as knowing English better than the local dialect. Upon bail, the court restrained them from leaving the city, while all hotels of the city refused accommodation to them citing fears of police reprisal. These circumstances forced the nuns to live on the streets during the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown. The false case is still not closed.
• 238. 28 Dec 2019: The State Government completely demolished the monastery infrastructure. The monastery - Yogini Sarvajnapeetha was the biggest female Hindu monastery in the world.

• 239. The police complaint against the State authorities was closed without investigation and the petition to the Court was forced to be withdrawn by the Court. The only women monastery and Hindu University in Bharat were demolished by the State.

• 240. During the birth star celebrations of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM on 25 December 2009, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was poisoned (through juice) by an assassin disguised as a devotee.
• 241. On 20th February 2010, a lawyer (Sridhar) approached THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as a liaison for neo-Hindutva and atheist political leaders. On 24 February 2010, a few senior disciples went to Chennai to meet Sridhar. During the meeting terrorists (Nakkeeran, Sridhar, Lenin) coerced THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to resign from all His organizations and to terminate all His religious and humanitarian services. They demanded 1 Billion INR from temple and charity funds in extortion. The disciples that went for the meeting were beaten up for the entire night, one of whom was above his sixties and a patient of terminal cancer.
• 242. On 2nd March 2010 evening SunTV the politically owned media wing of the DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam - ruling party of the State of Tamil Nadu headed by Chief Minister of the State, Karunanidhi, made sensational and repeated screening of a fabricated video purporting to show THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM with a well-known Hindu film actress. The video was later proved to be false: A Judge ordered the television station to run an apology for it every two hours for 7 days, and Hansraj Saxena, COO Sun TV confessed and was jailed for extortion. This did not remedy the damage.
• 243. On 2nd March 2010, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was in Tiruvannamalai, when a militant group headed by Shivababu came to assassinate Him. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM escaped from a rear exit, but his disciple Sri Nithya Sharanagathananda was beaten by the militants. Overnight the disciples with THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM were forced to flee to the Bengaluru Monastery of the ASMT.

• 244. 3 March 2010, 9:00 AM 100 militants of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike and other neo-Hindutva militant groups, entered the Bengaluru monastery. They ambushed the residence hut of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. They pushed THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM inside the hut and set it on fire. The police were complicit in the crime. They prevented the monastery residents from putting down the fire and threatened the monastery residents of filing fabricated accusations against them such as possession of skin of endangered animals unless they forfeited the monastery. To normalize the society TV9 and others news channels with neo-Hindutva affiliations aired the assassination attempt live. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM escaped from the bathroom window of the hut. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM continued to be hounded by the Police of three States, the neo-Hindutva media, and State intelligence for months. In Tiruvannamalai, Salem, (Bengaluru), Hosur, Pondicherry attempts to mob lynch and kill THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM occurred. The same TV channel (TV9) which captured on camera the assassination attempt of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM by burning Him alive, followed Him over 3000 kilometers on road till Haridwar.
• 245. 15 March 2010, Haridwar, an assassin in the guise of a journalist entered the Hotel room of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM with a knife and assaulted THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.

Even since the beginning of His public life, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM had a large following of practicing Hindus who attended His spiritual courses and programs. Since 2003, the government has commissioned the intelligence department to snoop THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. The same was instrumental in the illegal arrest of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM on 21 April 2010.

• 246. 4 March 2010, the State Police of Tamil Nadu, filed fabricated accusations on THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM charging Him with rape without mentioning anybody as a victim of rape.
• 247. On 25 March 2010, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's anticipatory bail was denied by the High Court citing "apprehension of the petitioner is unfounded", saying that there was no basis on which THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM could be arrested so He did not need bail.
• 248. On 21st April 2010, during the hearing on another anticipatory bail petition of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM for the same false accusations in Ramanagara Court Bengaluru, the Police lied in the court saying they had already arrested THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. Around two hours later, with the help of the intelligence department, a different team of police officers entered the house where THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was staying in Solan (Himachal Pradesh, Bharat) to illegally arrest Him. The DySP (CID) Hussain, used excessive force on THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and beat His disciples. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was taken from Solan to Bengaluru. Throughout the journey, the CID Police officers used excessive force and degrading treatment which continued even after THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was imprisoned in the CID office. The same night, on 21st April 2010 on His way from the airport to prison, an acid egg was anonymously thrown at THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.

• 249. 22 Apr 2010, 9 PM, District Hospital Ramanagara, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was subjected to the first medical torture by inhumane arbitrary medical tests where witness accounts record that an excessive amount of blood was withdrawn in the name of testing. When the doctor was repeatedly asked why so much blood was required, the doctor only replied it was not required. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was also injected with some unknown substances. This was followed by THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM being unable to see properly, stand or relate with people. In such conditions, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was left to sit on a floor covered with urine water. As per eyewitness disciple Sri Nithya Pranananda, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM pleaded that the excessive withdrawal of blood be stopped or He may die. The police told THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM that it would stop if He confessed (to false charges). Although multiple such inhumane arbitrary medical tests were conducted only one was reported by the Police. It is not known what the police did with the excess blood.
• 250. The police forced THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM in different ways to give a false confession against Himself. Different officers took turns in torturing and continuously lied to convince Him to give a false confession. Unable to force a false confession, the police officers ridiculed THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and demanded that they receive healing as they had got tired of grilling Him and should also receive professional medical support. This was reported by multiple newspapers to mock THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and the Hindu community. Even a High Court judge during a hearing remarked at the police, "Under the guise of suspicion, how long can you (police) torture a person (referring to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM)".
• 251. The Police torture (narrated to media as "grilling" by Police) involved bombarding THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM with powerful lights and loud shrill noises (of tile cutting machine) to inflict extreme physical and mental pain. This was done to psychologically weaken Him and make Him give a false confession about a crime that never happened and He never committed. Throughout the day THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM continued to be subjected to cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment by different police officers (taking turns) to coerce a false confession. Later during the night, the CID would begin extremely loud construction work just a few feet away from THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM cell where a high decibel tile cutting machine was installed which was used to cut tiles of asbestos. It had a shrill sound much worse than screaming, thereby depriving THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM of sleep or rest. The fine asbestos dust would fly towards THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM which is a known agent for causing mesothelioma (lung cancer) in the long term and which was intended to also assassinate THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM through asphyxiation.
• 252. The paper cover of the tile cutting machine was the only thing in the cell on which THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM could sit and warm His body from the cold urine-mixed-water on the cell floor. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was often experiencing breathing issues and no medical support was provided. When the disciples requested for the change of cell, the prison officials told, 'This is a palace for the dog who will die in another few days.' There were no charges against THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, there were no victims, there was not even a cogent false charge that the police had finalized to force Him to falsely accept. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was subjected to inhumane treatment with a sadist inexplicable motive, in no connection to aid any investigation.

• 253. The Police CID (Crime Investigation Department) created a special cell to subject THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment. The Police issued a work-order to a company where the Police explicitly demanded the installation of "real harsh" "lighting" to give a "freaky", "matrix" (movie) like effect. This room was created for the single purpose of "interrogating THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM" and never later used again. The cell was fitted with special CCTV cameras, the footage of which was given to the media which aired this video and published it on their websites. The footage had no audio, as most CCTV cameras record the only video. The channel on its own added its audio and subtitles. This entire media report was false and intensified the unfair trial against THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. The report marginalized THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM both in Bharat and abroad. Without any remorse, the channels maintain their stand and to date continue to host this video on their websites. Neo-Hindutva media channels have refused to comply with any of the court orders that have directed them to stop prejudicing and aiding unfair trials against SPH, leaving the SPH and ASMT community with no domestic recourse from this persecution. When the Counsel of the SPH raised the matter in the court, the police claimed in the court that the footage was obtained by the media by theft in the police office. The State Police never pursued any criminal proceedings against any media house. Instead, the police tortured their technician (Suresh) who installed the CCTV cameras as per the work order issued by them (Police), and forced Suresh to give a false confession that he stole the CCTV footage and gave it to the media illegally. Suresh could establish his innocence in court only by the end of July 2018. This is documented in the court order . By this time, the entire episode of police leaking interrogation tapes to the media became redundant as investigations in the case of SPH had been concluded and submitted to the trial court and charges framed against THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM (5 June 2018 in SC 86/2014 before the District and Sessions Court Ramanagara). These CCTV video records also captured the cruel, inhumane, and degrading torture done to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM by the Police. The disciples of the SPH were pressurized by police to make false statements as a "bargain" to stop the torture of the SPH. Two female disciple nuns were eyewitnesses, who saw the footage capturing torture. They were raped and victimized by the police to give false confessions. 6 May 2010, Suresh was taken to a lodge named Raja Galaxy by the police and tied to a chair. Suresh was beaten and tortured from 9 PM to 1 AM. Suresh was forced to confess to crimes he never did. Suresh openly reported this to all available human rights forums of the country but those who tortured him were never brought to book. The entire episode is rigorously and publicly documented.
• 254. In police custody, for over 8 days, the CID ensured that neither food nor water was given to the SPH. The police have even taken from His food (which was brought in a tiffin by His cook - Sri Nithya Shantimayananda upon court's approval) and eaten it for themselves. The food was replaced with beef and other non-vegetarian items and force-fed to SPH which is a direct violation of the religious beliefs as the cow is sacred and worshipped. Yogappa (Investigating Officer) poured water onto the floor and made the SPH lick the water from the floor when He was thirsty. Sri Nithya Shantimayananda whose role was to serve food to the SPH was not allowed to talk to Him. Even after the High court's permission for disciples to provide SPH with food, they were not allowed to serve food. A large sum of money had to be given to the police officers for them to be allowed to give food though it was already approved by the court. At one point the CID poisoned the food which Sri Nithya Shantimayananda had brought. Though Sri Nithya Shantimayananda was not allowed to talk, looking at his pale face SPH understood there may be something wrong with the food and did not eat it that day. Later that day, a rat that ate a portion of the food was found dead, proving the food was poisoned intentionally in an attempt to assassinate SPH.

• 255. Monday morning, 26 April 2010, the SPH was forced into another medical torture in the name of what was official termed as "a potency test", which was scheduled at the Institute of Nephro-Urology, Victoria Hospital. However, the so-called test was done under police custody at an undisclosed location, instead of an equipped hospital despite security measures that were ordered by the Ramanagara Deputy Superintendent of Police already in place. This was reported by the media, however, all digital media records have been withdrawn, and only copies of the newspapers exist with the ASMT archives and some libraries of the country. The police records of the event were also destroyed by the Police. Like every other day until then, excessive blood was withdrawn from SPH. He was not allowed to meet His disciples or Legal Counsel. Unknown substances were injected into the blood vessels of the SPH. The body of SPH was sexually and physically abused. He was given no rest and taken to court where he reached at around 4 PM. A few of the disciples were able to see the SPH from far and recollect that the SPH was looking very different, He appeared exhausted but was still wearing a smile and blessing them from far. In the court when the SPH was standing in the witness box, He maintained His composure despite the acute genital and chest pain. He was profusely sweating. The judge noticed this and got alarmed and ordered immediate medical attention to be given to SPH.

• 256. 26 April 2010, 8:30 PM, SPH was admitted by the police in Jayadeva Hospital, Bengaluru, Bharat. Witness Sri Nithya Shantimayananda recounts - "Swamiji (the SPH) had severe constipation where blood appeared in His stool and was undergoing chest pain. Invasive Endoscopy was done on Swamiji. Swamiji developed constipation due to dehydration and other inhumane conditions that were forced on Him. Under the coverup of wanting to further diagnose His stomach problem, the officers enforced a highly invasive test called an endoscopy wherein a tube was inserted into the stomach through the mouth and esophagus to locate ulcers, foreign objects, or other sources of pain and disease. The tube which they used to insert into the mouth of Swamiji was double the normal size of the tube, less elastic. In the same medical examination room in which they performed the waterboarding treatment, again, the officers made him lie down half-naked on the table. The doctor forced the thick, 1.5-inch diameter tube into the mouth of Swamiji. Swamiji gagged audibly and winced in pain as the tube went down His throat. The entire length of His throat, from His tongue until His stomach, was burning and stretched. Water began building behind His eyes and flowing down His cheeks. Saliva leaked from His mouth, down his chin, and his neck. Swamiji appeared to be in extreme pain when the tube was completely pushed inside. The doctor pushed the pipe even more forcefully. Swamiji involuntarily thrashed on the table. For twenty long minutes, Swamiji was subject to this brutal inhuman procedure." The SPH suffered severe internal wounds, causing blood to appear in his stool even after six months of this incidence. The next morning, 27 April 2010, it was extremely difficult for His body even to stand. SPH was forced to run on a treadmill repeatedly, more than what was required at speeds higher than needed. SPH was discharged and merely got rest for only 3 hours, from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM. 27 April 2010, by 3:30 PM the CID, had brought back SPH in their custody for continued inhumane interrogation .

Gag order by the Court to stop the SPH from speaking about the police torture.

• 257. From 30 Apr 2010, the SPH was transferred and kept in the Ramanagara Prison. On 11 June 2010, The Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka while hearing the bail petition of SPH BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM in its order observed the undue media influence against SPH BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, mentioning it in point number 13 (page number 12) as an "issue" (propaganda) which "was subsidized (funded) by the media." Despite making the observations, the High Court inexplicably suspended the freedom of speech of the SPH. The SPH was forbidden by the court to impart any religious teachings other than conducting yoga classes. The suspension of the fundamental human right to freedom of speech by the court disabled SPH from being able to speak anything about the torture done to Him in prison. This gag order was specifically given to systematically disable SPH from being able to seek any form of remedy from torture or protection from attempts to assassinate Him. This was ridiculed in the media, where it said - the court has gagged the godman.
• 258. On 12 June 2010, around 5:30 PM the SPH was released from prison. On 28 July 2010, Hindu pilgrims had come walking from various cities and villages of Tamil Nadu to Bidadi (Bangalore) in an annual Gurupurnima pada-yatra pilgrimage. The pilgrims went around the city in a procession with a look-alike wax Deity of the SPH on a procession. This irked the Neo-Hindutva militants who attacked the Deity mistaking it as the SPH. The fabricated accusation of rape against the SPH was collapsing in the court and His popularity seemed to have been unaffected by the massive hate propaganda of 5,000 hours. In response, the neo-Hindutva terrorists fabricated false witnesses to sustain the lawfare (malicious prosecution) against the SPH. The media hate propaganda was increased and totaled to more than 14,000 hours of hate speech, character assassination, and defamation by 2014.

• 259. On 29 December 2010, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM went to His birthplace, Tiruvannamalai to offer His prayers at the Arunachaleshwara Temple. Militants of DMK and CPI(M) carrying black flags surrounded THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and His disciples. The militants cheered at verbal death threats to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, "If you (the SPH) enter the temple we will kill you." The disciples tried to protect THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and were brutally beaten and some female disciples were sexually assaulted. The principal of His gurukul school (Rishi Sri Nithya Advaitananda) was one among those who were beaten owing to which he suffered severe back pain till date.
• 260. On 24 February 2011, at 3 PM, the State Police forced their way into the monastery without any warrant. On 12 June 2010, upon the release of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM from illegal imprisonment, the Police Circle Inspector Dharmendra had threatened the security guards that he would burn down the monastery. Sensing Police malpractice and threat to the life of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, the security guards (comprising the SPH disciples and monks) stopped the police and demanded a proper search warrant before being given admission. Deputy Superintendent of Police CID, Ramalingappa broke the hand of an international volunteer from Malaysia who was at security. The police arrested the volunteer including monks at security charging them with obstruction of police duty.
• 261. 27 April 2012, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was coronated as the 293rd Pontiff of The Shyamalapeetha Sarvajnapeetha Madurai Aadheenam, the world's most ancient monastery. The coronation of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as the Supreme Pontiff of Madurai was extremely intolerable for the neo-Hindutva terrorists, who made more than eight vexatious litigations to dethrone THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. Over the next month, they made several physical attacks and mob-lynching attempts to assassinate THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.
• 262. The neo-Hindutva terrorists despised Hindu women in monastic and priestly roles. On 29 April 2012, two female disciple monks of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM who used to work in the temple's charitable kitchen that served pilgrims were raped by the neo-Hindutva terrorists. 29 May 2012, two monks of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM that had been posted to maintain the Kanjanur temple, were beaten by the neo-Hindutva terrorists and had to be hospitalized.
• 263. 29 May 2012 A mob of 100 anti-Hindu atheistic militants, who opposed the appointment of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM as the 293rd Pontiff of Madurai Aadheenam, came to mob lynch THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM when he was at his Kanjanur Agneeshwara temple residence. The personal secretary monks of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM were assaulted. The mob smashed THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's car. The monks managed to escape. With injuries, they drove to the local police station for protection, filed a complaint, and got themselves hospitalized. Such attacks by mobs are not isolated incidences, in 2019 a senior brother disciple (Gurubhai) of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM a Mahant (senior regional head) of Mahanirvani Akhada, along with his driver and intern monks were mob lynched and killed with the State police as an accomplice to the mob lynchers.
• 264. The next day on 30 May 2012, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was leaving the city of Kanjanur when again a mob of anti-Hindu atheistic militants attacked, disciples of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM were assaulted in front of the police.

• 265. Throughout the documented history of the monastery which spans at least 3,000 years worship to the sacred Shivalinga has never even once been missed even for a single day. However, during the 14 June 2012 illegal arrest THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was denied the right and responsibility to execute His core responsibility of offering daily worship to the Shivalinga. This broke the tradition which had even survived during the thousand-[year Hindu Holocaust perpetrated as the world's bloodiest genocide] that killed. A part of this was reported by the media, although in a manipulated way to denigrate THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was starved over two days. At night, some food was given by the prison staff. A well-wisher in the prison staff slipped a note with the food warning THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to not consume the food as it was poisoned. SPH did not consume the food at all. Prison mice ate the food. The next morning the mice were found to be dead confirming that the food was poisoned.
• 266. The High Court in its order implicitly exposed the State terrorism, where it termed the arrest of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM in 2012 as "illegal", "without any authority", "contrary to law", "without jurisdiction". This did not remedy the situation. There were no repercussions for perpetrators of the crime who were protected by the State. This is the reason why assassination attempts, illegal imprisonment, and custodial torture was repeatedly done to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM until 2018 when THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was forced to withdraw from public life in Bharat. The Chief Minister who had openly given orders to the police to use the brutal force of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM only escalated in his position and capacity in the government and became the Central Government's Law Minister.
• 267. Between 26 Oct 2013 and 11 Feb 2014, Bengaluru Aadheenam: the deities and the Puja items were contaminated with dangerous alloys by a group of sculptors who had infiltrated the organization in the pretext of employment. This contamination causes slow poisoning to anyone who performs the daily rituals. The infiltrators also stole 40kg of silver. A Police complaint was registered against the group, but no action was taken.
• 268. Samaya Television Network Haridwar Attack: On January 13, 2014 Samaya Television sent its crew to Haridwar to physically attack THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.
• 269. Bengaluru Aadheenam: Ramesh Gowda an influential politician and his more than a hundred people strong gang of militants attacked the Bengaluru Aadheenam for almost 4 continuous hours. The attack was done on March 9, 2013, and March 17, 2013. The goals were two-fold: one, to find and murder THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, the spiritual head of the ASMT community; and two, to ensure that the ASMT community was always in fear feeling themselves in a survival threat. Several media channels were present these media channels are owned by the same extremist political elements. With no recourse from the Police, the police refused to register any complaints. Also, on March 9, 2013, the leader of Nav Nirmana Sene, Bhima Shankar Patil, in an interview with Samaya TV declared that he and his group are determined in attacking all monasteries, temples, and centers of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and they would not stop until they forced Him out of the state of Karnataka.

• 270. On, 9 March 2013, Vagish Prasad, neo-Hindutva terrorist Vagish Prasad wielded a sword and issued a death threat to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM from a national news channel named Suvarna TV. Despite the video evidence the local police refused to register any formal complaint (FIR). A city magistrate registered the FIR. The case was dismissed despite video evidence and telecast on national television.
• 271. On January 18, 2014, the Nava Nirmana Sene heard from their local scouts that THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was visiting a devotee whose grandmother was paralyzed and facing the last moments of her life. The Nava Nirmana Sene used this opportunity to mob lynch THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. They gathered a mob of 30 dressed in white and black uniform at the gate of the Bengaluru Aadheenam with the intent to storm inside and murder His Divine Holiness upon Him exiting the monastery. His Divine Holiness canceled the trip to the devotee's home.
• 272. Bengaluru Aadheenam: On July 12, 2014, 30 caste supremacist militants attacked Bengaluru Aadheenam. They were wielding weapons such as swords, machetes, and iron rods. They set fire to posters and flyers of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and brought down billboards in front of the gate. Then, various burning materials and improvised explosives were thrown inside the Aadheenam to set the residences on fire. The day was the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima. Many devotees from all around the world had gathered to celebrate the occasion. Due to the mob attack, the celebration had to be canceled and the residents were instructed to stay indoors.

2014 - Cruel, Inhuman, degrading murder attempt by the State in the guise of a second 'Potency Test'

• 273. 8 September 2014, 8 am THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM submitted Himself to the Medical Superintendent at the Institute of Nephro-Urology Victoria Hospital. He was taken to a special ward no. 1 on the second floor. The test was not done in a room with privacy; it was done in an open ward, where anybody could just walk to see SPH's private parts. The fact that the test was done in a ward, not in any room with privacy is recorded in the medical report in writing.
• 274. The media made caricatures with vulgar defamatory narratives of this episode and aired while the test was still in progress. It was not a coincidence. In 2010, the police had leaked the CCTV footage of interrogation (without audio) to the media and used it to misreport in public as if THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM had confessed to some crime. In an attempt to repeat this, and to publish humiliating pictures of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM in the media, the medical team repeatedly pressured THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to consent to a video recording of the test. This was not a simple matter of freedom of speech of media or mere defamation by the media, here the police were pressurizing THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to allow videography of his venereal organs so that media can make pornographic videos to humiliate SPH. This was the third such attempt, of psychological torture and sexualized hate propaganda in four years where police were directed and openly involved.
• 275. The State medical team recorded this in their report, "Sri Nithyananda Swamy refused to permit Audio-video recording of the tests which was conveyed to the investigating officer." The medical team never made any clear stand (neither scientific nor rational) on why the examination of venereal organs required videography. Neither was there any directive from the Supreme Court for such recording.
• 276. 8 September 2014, 8 am THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM submitted Himself to the Medical Superintendent at the Institute of Nephro-Urology Victoria Hospital. He was taken to a special ward no. 1 on the second floor.
• 277. The Supreme Court of Bharat, in its order in point 5 had only said, "for the limited purpose of taking his blood samples, voice test and subjecting him to medical test and shall release him after completion of the tests." The medical team ((i) Dr. C R Chandrashekar, (ii) Dr. Chandrashekar H, (iii) Dr. Veeranna Gowda K M, (iv) Dr. Venkata Raghava S) was accompanied by Karnataka State Police Investigation Officer Lokesh. All of them put undue pressure on THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM in the guise of following the Supreme Court Order and asked THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to accept unethical and dangerous medical procedures in writing. These procedures which involved injecting unknown substances had caused cardiac symptoms to SPH in the previous medical "test" torture (dated 26th April 2010).
• 278. But in the same order, the Supreme Court had also said, "It is the prime duty of the accused to cooperate with the investigating agency," which was used to put undue pressure by the State Medical Team and State Police on THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to attest in writing and to co-operate for His torture and assassination.
• 279. Throughout the medical test, Police Investigation Officer Lokesh pressurized and instructed the State Medical team to conduct tests to either kill THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM or at least leave THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM with disabilities such that He is never able to walk. At a point, when Lokesh thought THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is not conscious to hear Him and none of His disciples are around, He told - "Inject whatever, do whatever just get a positive (potency). Or at least disable Him. He should not be able to walk."
• 280. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM consented in writing to the recording of history, physical examination, blood tests, ultrasound, penile doppler (without injection of vasoactive substance). 8 September 2014, 8 AM, special ward no. 1, second floor of Institute of Nephro-Urology Victoria Hospital. It was an open ward without any privacy. He was subjected to brutal sexual torture. This was narrated live in several local media channels in a defamatory way. Doctors tried to use female nurses for these tests, and it was made sure this was narrated in the media. The eyewitness (Doctor) recalls female staff was made to parade in perverted ways in the open ward. These narratives were defamatory, hateful, and extremely vulgar to ensure no sympathy was felt towards THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was forced by the medical team to have tests done by female nurses, right from the withdrawal of blood to everything else. It was emphasized repeatedly that THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM being a lifelong celibate monk and the religious leader of 2 billion Hindus should not be subjected to such treatment which is an absolute violation of his religious and human rights. The nurse in turn violently punched the injection needle multiple times in the arm of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was accompanied by devotees who were professional surgeons, they narrate their eyewitness account, "The only time I have touched Swamiji (THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM) is when I had the blessed chance of reverentially touching His feet. Even as a surgeon I was not able to handle the sight of the medical assistant repeatedly punching the syringe into the body of Swamiji (THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM) pretending as if being too amateur to find the veins to properly withdraw blood."
• 281. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was forcibly masturbated, subjecting Him to excessive force. It was extremely painful physically. The pain increased as His veins in that region were swollen, due to varicose (also recorded in State medical report in doppler test as - "significant varicocele seen on either side"). Forced masturbation required higher blood flow through calcified-obstructed-veins (recorded in State medical report in doppler test as "calcification in right scrotal sac"), which put more stress on the veins and internally added to already unbearable pain in the veins. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM experienced and reported deep-rooted penile pain.
• 282. In 2015, a panel of UN consisting of medical and forensic experts unequivocally called for the ban of forced anal examination terming it as unscientific and equivalent to rape. On 8 Sept 2014, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was subjected to anal torture, which was described and worded in the State medical reports as "per rectal examination" a benign-sounding term that concealed the serious harm the entire team caused to His body. The State police officer Lokesh told the State Medical team - "Inject whatever, do whatever just get a positive (potency). Or at least disable Him.

He should not be able to walk." Frustrated the State Medical team of doctors told the staff to kick THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, it was reported in the media to incite hatred against THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. Because of all these tortures and the anal torture (disguised as a "per rectal examination") THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was unable to walk, unable to urinate without pain for several months, unable to even sit in a chair without pain for several months, needing help to even walk and use the restroom for several months to come, deep-rooted penile pain.

• 283. In such pain, the hospital willfully denied a wheelchair to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and made sure to force Him to stand when He was not even able to get up. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM only prayed "Om Namah Shivaya" repeatedly and went through the torture.
• 284. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was subjected to unscientific tests but some scientific tests which helped in clearly establishing His impotence were omitted citing ridiculous reasons. For example, out of all the tests the most scientific potency test - the Rigiscan test was not done. The Medical team cited that they did not have the Rigiscan machine, a third-party doctor offered it to the hospital, they declined to accept it and made sure to not conduct it.
• 285. The lab report of the State medical team established THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is impotent. However, the state medical team in the final report concluded contradicting their own data, recorded by their own lab and published in the final report. This was pointed out by all the experts who studied the report in sworn affidavits.
• 286. The State Medical Team's opinion contradicted their data. All the medical tests were done under the direct supervision of the Police (Investigating Officer - Lokesh). Annexures and evidence:
  • a. The following document gives the detailed government medical reports as it was received.
  • b. Notarized affidavits of medical experts from all over the world on the above government report:

• c. A presentation combining (1) and (2)

• 287. Bengaluru Aadheenam: On the night of October 24, 2014, TV9 Kannada sent a large group of paid assassins to the Bengaluru Aadheenam and to kill the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. The assassins did not find Him. They planted false entrails of liquor, condoms, and drugs at the Bengaluru Aadheenam, which could elicit false and vexatious litigations against THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.
• 288. Phuket: Participants from over 50 countries around the world had gathered for a 21-day program, conducted personally by His Divine Holiness from December 7 to 27, 2015, at Phuket Thailand. The political extremist groups from Bharat, with the help of the local mafia, disrupted the program and tried to kill THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.
  • The staff of the hotel at which the program was organized disrupted the program. The staff took unauthorized videos of the program. They provided the video recording to the local media without consent.
  • The hotel staff frequently disconnected electricity in the middle of the night in the pretext of maintenance.
  • The hotel staff creates obstacles in conducting the daily program. A formal request was made to the hotel staff to relocate to a different hotel. After the formal request, the hotel authority took 50 of the participants as a hostage and prevented relocating to the new hotel. The hotel security physically assaulted a few of the program participants.
  • On 22nd December 2015, Sri Nithya Sadashivananda placed an order for organic food which is meant for THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and other team members. The food was poisoned. Sri Nithya Sadashivananda who tested the food before delivering it to others had a seizure and became unconscious. He was taken to the hospital.
• 289. Nithyananda Peetham Camp, Kumbh Mela: On April 16, 2016, at the Ujjain Kumbh Mela a fire accident was orchestrated to kill the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.

• 291. Bengaluru Aadheenam: On December 25, 2017, a false police complaint of kidnapping was registered against the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. The complaint was orchestrated by the police. Police kidnapped two disciples of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to the nearby Forest. They were threatened and beaten up to give false statements against THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM on kidnapping, one of the disciple's birth certificate was forged by the police to make the kidnapping appear to be of a minor.
• 292. Madurai Meenakshi Temple, Madurai: On. February 02, 2018, terrorists used explosives inside the temple to assassinate the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM while he was visiting Madurai Meenakshi temple along with his disciples.
• 293. Bengaluru Aadheenam: On the 5th of March 2018, militant elements along with the media mob lynched the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM while he was visiting Panchamukha Anjaneya temple to celebrate the grand inauguration of the five-faced Hanuman deity During this visit a person identified as Ramesh offered poisoned food as prasad to the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.

Bengaluru Aadheenam: On the 3rd of July 2018, at about 5:30 pm, a group of 10 militants trespassed into the Bengaluru Aadheenam looking for the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. They beat up Sanyasis and harassed residents while demanding to know the whereabouts of the THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.
• 296. 4 December 2019 neo-Hindutva national television channel Republic TV runs hate propaganda "Drag back Nithyananda" - targeting the SPH.
• 297. 8 December 2019 After the sensational publicity of KAILASA by the Neo-Hindutva media channel Republic TV, a member of the legislative assembly incited Neo-Hindutva extremists and State Police to carry extrajudicial murder of the SPH.

• 298. Extrajudicial killing by state actors has been normalized in Bharat. Mass protests rarely happen, and police are very rarely held accountable, no action is taken against them for police killings. This has created a problem of mindset - most people believe - police kill those who deserve it. The state uses disinformation and murder-by-mob against monks. Mobs create a cover for police to carry out killings of unarmed "demonstrators".
• 299. The hangover of the colonial past continues to remain in Bharat to date. The Criminal Tribes Act, 1871 classified monks as born criminals and continues to remain in the form of the Habitual Offenders Act, 1961, and various other anti-begging acts. These acts give arbitrary powers to police to arrest and imprison Hindu Sadhus without due process.
• 300. ASMT monks including Guru Maha Sannidhanams are required to study and write commentaries on various scriptures (Chaturmasya). They are also expected to perform ParivarajikaYatra to ShaktiPeethas - pilgrimage to various spiritual ecosystems by seeking alms for many years. During this travel, they give discourses on scriptures, counsel people, and provide traditional healing. They often travel to remote areas underserved by the state. This spiritual process of seeking alms is designed not only to expose Sadhus to all cross-sections of society and deeply engage with them but also to show the innate goodness in people. As Guru Maha Sannidhanams are expected to

• 303. In its 2018 annual report, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) stated "conditions for religious minorities have deteriorated over the last decade due to a multifaceted campaign by Hindu-nationalist groups…. [Religious minorities] face challenges ranging from acts of violence or intimidation to the loss of political power, to increasing feelings of disenfranchisement and 'otherness'." USCIRF again designated Bharat as a "Tier 2" country, defined as one where the violations engaged in or tolerated by the government are serious and are characterized by at least one of the elements of the "systematic, ongoing, and egregious" standard for "countries of particular concern" (CPCs, a formal U.S. State Department designation). USCIRF found that, in 2017, "religious freedom conditions continued a downward trend in Bharat.": "Bharat's history as a multicultural and multireligious society remained threatened by an increasingly exclusionary conception of national identity based on religion. During the year, Hindu-nationalist groups sought to "Saffronize" Bharat through violence, intimidation, and harassment against non-Hindus and Hindu minorities and Dalits. Both public and private actors pursued this effort. At the federal level, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made statements decrying mob violence, but members of his own political party have affiliations with Hindu extremist groups and many have used discriminatory language about religious minorities. Despite Hindu government statistics indicating that communal violence has increased sharply over the past two years, the Modi Administration has not addressed the problem."
• 304. Since 2001, USCIRF has attempted to visit Bharat to assess religious freedom conditions on the ground. However, on three different occasions—in 2001, 2009, and 2016—the New Delhi government has refused to grant visas for a USCIRF delegation despite requests being supported by the U.S. State Department. The New Delhi government regularly "rejects" the findings of USCIRF reports and expresses "serious doubts about their credibility."

• 305. It is amply evident that the Hindu government interferes in the religious community leadership succession process which is a flagrant violation of both their own and international legal framework concerning religious freedom. This deprives millions of followers of the religious sanctity of their practice. Given the seriousness of the matter, an investigation into this by a reputed international body will put pressure on the Hindu Central and State Governments to take corrective action.
• 306. The international community should support the ASMT community by condemning the interference of the State of Tamil Nadu (Bharat) in the religious appointment of the Gurumahasannidhanam of Madurai Aadheenam and Thondaimandala Aadheenam and to stop interfering in religious succession matters.

• 25 June 2021, The United Nations (UN) Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW)
• 19 July 2021, The Special Rapporteur on violence against women

KAILASH UNION submitted a report on persecution done to the SPH THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and KAILASA. The United Nations (UN) Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) has accepted the report on the persecution on the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism (SPH) Jagat Guru Mahasannidhanam (JGM) His Divine Holiness (HDH) Bhagavan Sri THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and His followers.

The SPH THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has been facing persecution for over two decades, especially for His highly progressive stance on Vedic feminism, true women empowerment, and worship of primordial cosmic divinity as divine mother (Shaktism).

The attacks on the SPH THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and His community involved a massive volume of State sponsored lawfare, vexatious litigations, assassination attempts, sexual assaults and gang rape, character assassination, shaming, sexual objectification and persecution of women, girls and even children. Unsurprisingly this persecution has been taken a serious note of internationally.

Kailash Union has made several recommendations to international human rights organizations, countries, and particularly voiced concerns of 2 billion Hindus to the UN. The full report is available here:

The report highlighted the roots of the modern Hindu Genocide. The two major matters of concern being –

• 1. The use of media as a weapon to delegitimize and persecute Hindus,
• 2. State funded Terrorism targeting Hinduism, especially minority communities that worship primordial cosmic divinity as divine mother (such as Shatka traditions).

This massive war against Hinduism is being waged where unfortunately the bodies of Hindu mothers and sisters (especially Hindu nuns) have become the battle ground. The anti-Hindu terrorist forces have made several attempts to assassinate the last lamp of hope for Hinduism to survive and revive – the SPH THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.

The use of Image morphing deepfake technology to attack and delegitimize the SPH THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and thus derail the revival of Hinduism was a primary focus of the report.

Absence of legal resource is another extremely concerning problem specially in the Hindu subcontinent, where court orders are not upheld and executed by the government. The governments have chosen to ignore the plight of Hindus when they are persecuted, despite the cases where courts have ruled in favor of the persecuted Hindu communities. This is especially alarming in the case of the persecution done to the SPH THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and his devotees, more so

the Hindu nuns. IN 2018, the SPH THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was pushed into statelessness the anti-Hindu terrorist forces have ever since been on a free run unstoppable.

There were several recommendations made to various international bodies and governments in general such as supporting the victims of this Hindu genocide, by an international condemnation of this violence and violence and propaganda waged against them, and by an international demand to end this persecution. The report also strongly recommended stopping the de-Hindunization done in the guise of modernization and progress.

RIGHT OF INDIGENOUS WOMEN

A REPORT BY THE ADI SHAIVITE MINORITY TRADITION (ASMT) HINDU COMMUNITY JUNE 2021

• 1. The human rights situation for women and children in Bharat is abysmal. Despite tremendous public outcry against crimes against women and children such as rape, sexual violence, genderbased harassment, and female infanticide happen unabated in Bharat. The State of the Republic of Bharat has been either unwilling or unable to curtail these crimes. Bharat is the most dangerous country for sexual violence against women, according to the Thomson Reuters Foundation 2018 survey. According to the National Crimes Records Bureau, the rape of minor girls increased by 82% in the year 2016 compared with the previous year. Sexual violence and brutal rape have been weaponized against minority women and children by extremist militant elements at the highest levels of governance. This weaponization of sexual violence targeting women and children is part of a more pervasive and systematic campaign targeting certain indigenous spiritual traditions, minority communities, and their leaders, especially those from linguistic and religious minority groups, and of dark-skinned people of indigenous spiritual traditions, and of ethnic native-Hindu tribes that have existed in Bharat for millennia. One such indigenous spiritual tradition currently targeted for extermination by the Neo-Hindutva extremist militants is the Hindu Adi Shaiva Minority Tradition ("ASMT") in Bharat. The women, children, and young girls of the ASMT community were the most vulnerable target of the Neo-Hindutva extremism.
• 2. The ASMT explicitly rejects extremism of all types. The extremist militant elements are opposed to ASMT's stance when it comes to the rights of women, including otherwise marginalized Dalit women, and the rights of members of the LGBTQ+ and transgendered communities. The neo-Hindutva terrorists despise Hindu women in monastic and priestly roles. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM spiritual head of ASMT has publicly declared himself to be transcendental gender and possessing multiple gender components. The neo-Hindutva extremists see LGBTQ+ rights as immoral. The ASMT freely ordains women into Sannyasa (the monastic order), recognizes 11 genders, and performs specific temple rituals for gay marriage, as per more than 5000-year-old indigenous spiritual scriptures.

The ASMT represents one of the most progressive ideologies and is a target of persecution by the neo-Hindutva extremists.

• 3. ASMT tradition is ancient. Around 3200BCE, the Mahabharata war ended in the Hindu subcontinent. At that time, at least 56 nations in Asia gave shelter to Hindu communities and protected the rights of women. These 56 nations spanned from Gandhara (in Afghanistan) to Kadaram (Kedah in Malaysia). The town of Parshu in present-day Iran finds mention in ancient Hindu scriptures as a Hindu city today has no Hindu men or women. The four thousand indigenous people of Kalash (Chitral Valley, Pakistan), the only survivors of the ancient ASMT tradition in the region though separated over a distance of 10000 KMs, are no different from indigenous Adi Shaivas of Kashmir (North Bharat), or indigenous Adi Shaivas of Tamil Nadu (South Bharat), or the Adi Shaivas of Bali (Indonesia). Although Hinduism is alive as a culture, its political and religious legitimacy was wiped from the geography of Asia, as these nations got invaded and colonized. These invasions caused a genocide, where per estimates 80 million to 400 million people were killed through massacre, mass gang rapes, and torture. Thousands of temples, universities, and libraries were destroyed. The Hindu communities which existed by 3200BCE were reduced to three thousand.
• 4. In Hinduism, the highest reverence is attributed to the Guru (the spiritual guide in the body, or, in principle in the form of teachings as scripture, or a worshipped Deity). Hindu scriptures declared, "Indeed, the Guru is the whole universe….There is nothing higher than the Guru. Therefore, worship the Guru." In Hindu families, the mother is worshipped as the first Guru of the child. In Hinduism, all women are not merely respected as equal to men, rather worshipped as a manifestation of Devi Parashakti (supreme primordial cosmic divinity). In Hinduism, young girls

• 5. In ancient Hindu nations, some young girls, who cognized themselves as a manifestation of Divine Mother, chose to never marry any human and dedicated themselves to the administration of Hindu temples and worship of the Deity (or God) of the temple. There were many such monastic traditions, such as Rudrakanyas (Daughters of Lord Rudra) and Devadasis. Colonial views on Devadasi were highly subversive, leading to their socio-economic deprivation and exploitation. The colonial-era government of Bharat ran State-sponsored brothels through several legislations. This practice was severely criticized by citizens of England and other European countries. British Government also established institutions known as Lock Hospitals where women were brought to be treated for venereal diseases. However, many of the women admitted to these hospitals, including many Devadasi, were identified through the registry and were brought to the hospitals एवं योः पूजयेद्देवव प्रवतवर्षयतव्रतोः ।र्ण्मास वा विमास वा मासेमासेऽथवा वप्रये॥ ३७ ।।वतस्र वा पश्चर्ा सप्त पूजयेदेवताविया ।सवैश्वयसमृद्धात्मा स भवदावय ोः वप्रयोः ॥ ३८ ॥ O My Beloved !

against their will. A number of these women were never seen again by their families. Over time through hate literature, the Hindu nuns (Rudrakanyas and Devadasis) were stigmatized as prostitutes during the colonial era. After independence, the State of Tamil Nadu passed legislation criminalizing the tradition. This bill, stereotyped and marginalized the Devadasis by addressing them as prostitutes. The will was opposed by Devadasis but enacted and made into a law. This reinforced the colonial stigma around the tradition undermining the human rights of Hindu nuns.

• 6. In 2009, a twelve-year-old ASMT girl was kidnapped and molested by a Neo-Hindutva extremist. The US courts sentenced the child rapist to 57 months imprisonment. This did not remedy the damage. The child rapist filed several vexatious litigations in Bharat and the US. In the US, these false allegations by the child rapist, such as calling the child a "liar", and her parents and community part of a "brainwashing", "cult" etc., were all rejected by the court with a penalty for defamation with cost. This did not deter the neo-Hindutva media from victimizing the child with hours of hate speech on television, for which one Samaya TV was penalized USD 5 Million by a US court. Even this has failed to redress the situation.

• 7. In Bharat, the Neo-Hindutva media ran 14,000 hours of hateful programs marginalizing ASMT actress Ranjitha, ASMT nuns, ASMT women, and girls who had been raped by neo-Hindutva militants. The neo-Hindutva media publicly addressed them as "brainwashed", "sodomized disciples" , "witches", "prostitutes", "cult worshippers", (child) "sex slaves", and also published violence-inciting prejudicial narratives such as "Hang the Sin Swamis (Hindu monks and nuns)" etc. Previously, before the sensational release of the doctored video, the senior and aged female monks who used to attend phone calls of devotees seeking spiritual counseling were faced to pick up phone calls demanding prostitution from them. Several media houses continue to publish such defamatory articles, causing marginalization of the ASMT women and girls, and dangerously inciting mob violence and rape against them.
• 8. People have resorted to violence after reading or watching such material, as perpetrators have directly commented on the online versions of these media clips openly accepting that they have "hit one THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM people", and also suggesting others should do the same by saying, "I request everyone to hit them nicely. Even don't show courtesy for women in THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM ashram. They are the most dangerous."
• 9. 18 Jan 2018, young female nun Ma Nithyananditha received death threats over the phone by fans of V. Ramasamy, Ma Nithyananditha had voiced out against defamatory sexualization of Hindu female saint Aandal by V. Ramasamy and politically owned media. Several obscene morphed videos depicting Ma Nithyananditha and other ASMT children were uploaded on social media by followers of Ramasamy.
• 10. ASMT as a tradition fundamentally respects women as embodiments of divine mother Goddess , and it is extremely painful for the community to witness this smear campaign, on ASMT women. This smear campaign is not just limited to ASMT women, ASMT female monks, but the most vulnerable target of this persecution, are the ASMT girls, especially those minor girls who pursue religious studies to become nuns.

"नवम्यामेकवर्ाषवदनववर्ाषन्तकन्यकाोः । बाला िुद्धा च लवलता मावलनी च वसुन्धरा । सरस्वती रमा गारी दुगाषच नव काविताोः ॥२७॥" "In the same order upto the ninth day of the fortnight girls from one to nine years respectively should be wor- shipped as usual. These nine girls respectively are named as : 1. Bālā, 2. Sudbā, 3. Lalitā, 4. Mālini, 5. Vasundharā, 6. Sarasvati; 7. Rama, 8. Gauri, and 9. Durga ." Kularnava Tantra, 10th Ullasa, verse 27

• 11. Many ASMT girls who have now grown up to become nuns, had grown up in the lap of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and strongly relate with Him not just as a Guru but a father figure also. As per the law in Bharat Hindu nuns are allowed to have the name of their Guru in the place of their father in their passports. It is extremely traumatizing for these girls to be sexually linked with THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM by the Hindu media.
• 12. The media targeted ASMT minor girls by publishing their pictures in the national newspapers with vulgar captions. Young ASMT female monks were sexually linked with their Guru (spiritual guide and leader), THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, by entire cover page and several pages of yellow tabloids being dedicated to malign sacred sentiments of disciple hood. The media published fake interviews of ASMT actress Ranjitha defaming her for being a disciple of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. Nakkheeran Gopal and other media heads pressured Ranjitha to commit suicide and circulated false news of the same in media as a rumor.
• 13. Such targeted persecution of Hindu nuns and female religious leaders is not limited to the ASMT but is aimed at destroying the rights of indigenous female spiritual leaders. Vexatious litigations

• 14. An ASMT female monk from Dalit origin, Ma Nithya Supriyananda Swami, has faced intersecting discrimination for multiple reasons (1) ASMT origin (2) Dalit origin (3) Female monk (nun). Ma Nithya Supriyananda heads the Tamil language publication department of an ASMT monastery. On 9 May 2010, she and her team were addressed as "sex slaves" by Tamil yellow Tabloid writer Charu Nivedita. She filed a defamation case against the magazine and writers, which has been pending in the courts for a decade.

7 June 2012: Ma Nithya Jnanatmananda Swami protecting herself with a chair while Suvarna TV channel journalists and associated Nav Nirman Sene militants molest and attempt to rape her.

8 June 2012: Ma Nithya Achalananda Swami was molested and groped by Suvarna TV channel journalists and associated Nav Nirman Sene militants.

• 15. 7 Jun 2012, BJP owned Suvarna TV's chief editor Ajith and the militants sexually assaulted female monks beat up ASMT members present on the campus. They gang-raped ASMT nun Ma Nithya Jnanatmananda Swami. This criminal act was live broadcasted on national and regional television. 28 Oct 2015, an ASMT female monk was molested and escaped an attempted rape by a neo-Hindutva militant who was declared innocent in a subsequent court trial. Ma Nithya Jnanatmananda Swami watching her sister monks being raped and denied justice was forced to flee Bharat because of blackmail by terrorists threatening her to withdraw the case. The case filed by the ASMT nun is still pending in courts as of 2021. In the same attack of June 2012, Ma Nithya Achalananda Swami was also sexually and physically assaulted by Ajith and other militants who groped her chest and recorded it on camera to blackmail her and used it to publicly shame her. The summons issued by the court for Ajith to appear has not been delivered by the police.

• 16. In the last decade, especially in Bharat, there has been an alarming trend in the mainstream media and social media of sensational screening and manufacture of misinformation and hate speech that is marginalizing minority communities, especially targeting women with the use of image morphing and deep-fake videos. Although there are many instances of attacks against followers of the ASMT and their spiritual leader, a particular focus of attacks has been a fabricated video of 2010 of the ASMT actress Ranjitha. The video was repeatedly and sensationally broadcasted by Sun TV and various media channels to defame her character, and to delegitimize her Guru THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. Forensic examinations have shown the video to be fabricated, super-imposing videos of the two individuals. The Chief Operations Officer of the Sun TV, a politically owned media house run by the DMK party, gave a media interview and affidavit in a US court acknowledging the detailing the history and methodology of the blackmail and extortion followed by the channel, particularly in targeting the ASMT community and its leader THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM involving the fabricated video. This confession and affidavit did not remedy the situation as the channel kept victimizing the actress.

• 17. The ASMT actress, Ranjitha, petitioned in the Karnataka High Court and all available forums for several years. Although the courts ordered in her favor restraining the misinformation and telecast of fabricated deep-fake videos, the neo-Hindutva media kept pushing the implementation of the order to various quasi-legal institutions (self-regulatory bodies run by the media itself). Finally, the media self-regulatory quasi-legal body, the NBSA ordered its member channels to remove fabricated defamatory videos from their websites. None of the media houses complied with the order and kept reuploading, re-telecasting the same footage, and continue the misinformation propaganda to date. Any complaint on media in the High Court is redirected to NBSA, BCCC, or other such bodies which do not even have a website listing their policies to selfregulate. The NBSA as a self-regulatory body is toothless and is known to disregard its own guidelines and orders even when the member channels ridicule and shame dead celebrities. The NHRC (National Human Rights Commission) has maintained silence on the subject and pushed the responsibility on the State executive. A politically owned neo-Hindutva media channel aired a media report where it accused the ASMT leader THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM of raping His own biological mother (a Hindu nun) on the occasion of His father's sad demise. The channel went on to justify their sadist sexual objectification of Hindu nuns terming it as "unbiased reporting". Hindu Courts are unwilling or unable in protecting ASMT women, especially nuns and children.
• 18. Even where ASMT nuns, ASMT women, and girls have won legal battles, it has been futile as these court orders were never executed as seen in the case of Ranjitha versus several media houses. The ordeal of Ranjitha or other ASMT women and nuns is not unique – court orders are not executed by the government executive, especially in absence of political motivation. The Hindu government and Hindu State departments are perceived as one of the most corrupt in the world. The mainstream Hindu media and social media influencers exercise a massive influence on the masses and even the Court judges. The media is easily able to sway public opinion and even sway the opinion of judges. In a court proceeding directly involving the ASMT, the court explicitly mentioned how the court was prone to prejudice by this negative media propaganda. Though media can influence the judiciary in Bharat, the court judgments are toothless in curbing the media's hate propaganda. Neo-Hindutva media wilfully dishonors court orders without any consequence. Though there is a possibility of legal recourse outside Bharat, wherein 2017, a US

• 19. 17 Sep 2013, the Karnataka State Department of Women and Children forcibly, cruelly, and illegally interrogate children in the ASMT school (Gurukul). The interrogation was done without the consent of the parents, with no video recording of the examiners, late-night beyond the time permissible by law. The State interrogators shamed and ridiculed the children, particularly girls for their dress, pressured them to quit their spiritual-religious lifestyle, and forced children to eat unhealthy substances avoided in the ASMT lifestyle. The lawyer of the school was sued by the State for intervening in the violation of the rights of children and parents. Several such raids were done by the State and many vexatious legal proceedings and orders were executed by the State to forcibly shut down the school.
• 20. In November 2019, the Gujarat State government (CWC) Child Welfare Commission officials raided the female monastery and molested the children studying there. The CWC officials were pulled up by the parents of these children in the High Court. The police complaint against the State authorities was closed without investigation and the petition to the Court was forced to be withdrawn by the Court. Instead, a false case was charged against the women monk heads, and they were kept under custody for almost 3 months. The only women monastery and Hindu University were demolished. The false case is still not closed.

• 21. While the use of information and communications technology has contributed to the empowerment of women and girls, its use has also generated new forms of violence against women and girls. The use of media (both conventional and social) for negative stereotyping and persecution of women, girls and female monks, especially from marginalized communities should be studied, added to the scope of Women Observatories, and brought to check.

• 22. Apart from discrimination based on gender, race, sexual orientation, hate speech such as dehumanization and other forms of hateful and degrading expression of free speech should be brought under check by social media and internet intermediaries.

• 23. The victims of this new form of persecution, which involves deep-fake and sophisticated smear campaigns should be supported by condemnation of the violence and propaganda waged against them. The use of deep-fake videos for targeting women should be brought to check and condemned internationally.

• 24. Tribal and indigenous girls should be protected from detribalization and persecution by the State as highlighted in this report. This persecution is often difficult to understand as it waged in the guise of women empowerment and child protection, which is essentially a new form of the civilizing mission.

A report has been published on the persecution of KAILASA (once again) acknowledging KAILASA'S stance against femicide and the persecution of all the indigenous women of KAILASA by the extremists and militant forces.

KAILASH UNION submitted a report on persecution done to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and KAILASA. The United Nations (UN) Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) has accepted the report on the persecution on the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism (SPH) Jagat Guru Mahasannidhanam (JGM) His Divine Holiness (HDH) Bhagavan Sri THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and His followers.

The SPH THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has been facing persecution for over two decades, especially for His highly progressive stance on Vedic feminism, true women empowerment, and worship of primordial cosmic divinity as divine mother (Shaktism).

The attacks on the SPH THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and His community involved a massive volume of State sponsored lawfare, vexatious litigations, assassination attempts, sexual assaults and gang rape, character assassination, shaming, sexual objectification and persecution of women, girls and even children. Unsurprisingly this persecution has been taken a serious note of internationally.

Kailash Union International Human Rights Council has made several recommendations to international human rights organizations, countries, and particularly voiced concerns of 2 billion Hindus to the UN. The full report is available here:

• 1. The human rights situation for women and children in Bharat is abysmal. Despite tremendous public outcry against crimes against women and children such as rape, sexual violence, genderbased harassment, and female infanticide happen unabated in Bharat. The State of the Republic of Bharat has been either unwilling or unable to curtail these crimes. Bharat is the most dangerous country for sexual violence against women, according to the Thomson Reuters Foundation 2018 survey. According to the National Crimes Records Bureau, the rape of minor girls increased in the year 2016 compared with the previous year.
• 2. Sexual violence and brutal rape have been weaponized against minority women and children by extremist militant elements at the highest levels of governance. This weaponization of sexual violence targeting women and children is part of a more pervasive and systematic campaign targeting certain indigenous spiritual traditions, minority communities, and their leaders, especially those from linguistic and religious minority groups, and of dark-skinned people of indigenous spiritual traditions, and of ethnic native-Hindu tribes that have existed in Bharat for millennia. One such indigenous spiritual tradition currently targeted for extermination by the Neo-Hindutva extremist militants is the Hindu Adi Shaiva Minority Tradition ("ASMT") in Bharat. The women, children, and young girls of the ASMT community were the most vulnerable target of the Neo-Hindutva extremism.
• 3. The ASMT explicitly rejects extremism of all types. The extremist militant elements are opposed to ASMT's stance when it comes to the rights of women, including otherwise marginalized Dalit women, and the rights of members of the LGBTQ+ and transgendered communities. The neo-Hindutva terrorists despise Hindu women in monastic and priestly roles. The spiritual head of ASMT has publicly declared himself to be transcendental gender and possessing multiple gender components. The neo-Hindutva extremists see LGBTQ+ rights as immoral.

• 5. The neo-Hindutva-affiliated media published articles with pictures of ASMT female monks with captions such as, "sodomized disciples". The media targeted ASMT minor girls by publishing their pictures in the national newspapers with vulgar captions. The media published fake interviews of ASMT actress Ranjitha for defaming her. Nakkheeran Gopal and other media heads pressured Ranjitha to commit suicide and circulated false news of the same in media as a rumor.

The media publicly addressed them as "brainwashed", "sodomized disciples", "witches", "prostitutes", "cult worshippers", (child) "sex slaves", and also published violence-inciting prejudicial narratives such as "Hang the Sin Swamis (Hindu monks and nuns)" etc. Several media houses continue to publish such defamatory articles, causing marginalization of the ASMT women and girls dangerously inciting mob violence and rape against them.

• 8. In Bharat, court orders are not upheld by the government. The Hindu government and Hindu State departments are perceived as one of the most corrupt in the world. The mainstream Hindu media and social media influencers exercise a massive influence on the masses and even the Court judges. The media is easily able to sway public opinion and even sway the opinion of judges. In a court proceeding directly involving the ASMT, the court explicitly mentioned how the court was prone to prejudice by this negative media propaganda. Though media can influence the judiciary in Bharat, the court judgments are toothless in curbing the media hate propaganda. Neo-Hindutva media wilfully dishonors court orders without any consequence.

Hindu Courts are unwilling or unable in protecting ASMT women, especially nuns and children.

• 10. The Hindu media kept marginalizing the ASMT nuns and girls with defamatory sexualized allegations. In 2017, a US Court penalized a neo-Hindutva media to the tune of $USD 5 Million for civil conspiracy and defamation targeting the ASMT community. This is the largest penalty against any Hindu media. This did not remedy the damage as other media channels and journalists continued the smear campaign.

• Such targeted persecution of Hindu nuns and female religious leaders is not limited to the ASMT but aimed at destroying the rights of indigenous female spiritual leaders. Vexatious litigations have been used to persecute female Hindu spiritual leaders on absurd allegations of indecent dressing booking it under anti-superstition laws.

• While the use of information and communications technology has contributed to the empowerment of women and girls, its use has also generated new forms of violence against women and girls. The use of media (both conventional and social) for negative stereotyping and persecution of women and girls, especially from marginalized communities should be studied, added to the scope of Women Observatories, and brought to check.
• Women nuns who lead indigenous minority religious communities like the ASMT have been deprived of their human rights in their home country. The international community, and member states of the United Nations, need to support them by providing a safe place protecting their basic human rights, where they can practice their religion, and revive their arts and traditions peacefully.
• There were close to many indigenous tribes and spiritual traditions in the Hindu sub-continent that were mother worshippers and lead by women. The ASMT is one of them. Colonization and invasions in ancient times and religious intolerance and caste-based violence and extremism in contemporary times have made them extinct. These women have been marginalized and labeled as witches and persecuted since time immemorial. Now is the time, that the world needs to protect these traditions by internationally declaring them endangered.
• The victims of this new form of persecution, which involves deep-fake and sophisticated smear campaigns should be supported by condemnation of the violence and propaganda waged against them.
• The use of deep-fake videos for targeting women should be brought to check and condemned internationally.
• Tribal and indigenous girls should be protected from detribalization and persecution by the State as highlighted in this report. This persecution is often difficult to understand as it waged in the guise of women empowerment and child protection, which is essentially a new form of the civilizing mission.
