DISCIPLES HELD HOSTAGE🔗

“On this particular morning, there were peculiar movements around the house, and we all felt suspicious,” recalls Ma Jnanapriya. “We rushed to the window and saw strange people lurking around, surveying the property and scoping out the area. They were carefully eyeing everyone who entered or left the structure, and had vehicles shadowing them.” One of the trespassers was Raja T. Vijaykumar, a member of a group called Seikilar Panpattu Kazhagam, one of the many Hindu groups under the umbrella of Thondaimandalam Mutt. The previous day, he had begun spreading false rumours that Paramahamsa Nithyananda and his disciples had kidnapped the current Pontiff, and were holding him hostage with intent to take over the properties of the ancient mutt. At the behest of his heinous allegation, he incited mob hatred against the disciples of Paramahamsa Nithyananda and immediately the mob surrounded the mutt, some of them on foot and others in vehicles patrolling the area. The three caretakers inside the house decided to stay inside and keep themselves safe. They locked the doors, switched off all fans and lights, and remained totally still to avoid detection. Thankfully, at that time, the Pontiff was travelling and was safe, out of the campus. The house had a traditional courtyard, and from 3:30 p.m. they were huddled in one corner of tit, next to the temple. By 5:00 p.m., they heard people attempting break the locks and enter the premises. Filled with terror, they shrouded themselves under towels that were left outside, which miraculously kept them from the infiltrators’ view. They could clearly hear what the invaders were saying:“break down the doors, they must be inside!”Shaking behind a curtain of towels, they could hear these attackers scraping the wooden doors with metal rods. “I still remember the bloodlust in their voices”, recalls Sri Pranapriya. “They were loudly describing how they would beat and kill us.” The attackers did everything they could do to break down the wooden double door pictured below.

Behind the curtain of towels, Sri Pranapriya made a call to the secretary of Paramahamsa Nithyananda appraising the situation. The secretary conveyed back that His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda has blessed not to worry and that the door will not budge. Miraculously, the door remained intact:

Ma Jnanapriya had to suppress the sounds of her fearful sobs, and painfully stopped herself from coughing despite having a bad cold and fever on that day. The disciples were huddled together under those towels, not moving, barely breathing, without a gulp of water or a morsel of food, for the next 15 hours, not knowing whether they were going to be found and killed.

When the attempted murderers finally left, the three could still hear armed men patrolling the premises, and only at 6:00 a.m. the following morning, after the cars were heard exiting the property, they decided it was safe enough to come out. Sri Nithya Sundareshwara Maharaj, a monastic disciple of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, and Ma Jnanapriya’s son, rushed in to retrieve his mother and the others,and hurried them out of the house.

Ma Nithya Jnanapriyananda, “It was the most terrifying and horrible night of my life. None of us could have expected this, and no one should ever have to go through the trauma of hiding from brutal attackers who are plotting their murder. I really thought I was going to give way by coughing, and that I would be raped and bludgeoned to death,” says Ma Nithya Jnanapriyananda. “It’s only by Swamiji’s divine grace that none of our attackers thought to look under the pile of towels.”

This suspenseful episode reads like the plot of a horror movie. It is called ‘mob lynching’ where mob hatred is incited and the mob will lynch the targeted person to the point of assassination.

Hiding in sheer terror while listening to violent attackers bashing down doors, anticipating a cruel death blow at any moment... All of this was for no fault of theirs; all just because they took up the care of Thondaimandala Aadheenam, a Hindu Mutt.

Despite the fact that this break-in and attempted-murder is blatantly illegal, till date no action has been taken against the guilty parties, although complaints were filed. The political clout and vested financial interests of the attackers who nearly killed three innocent people should be no reason to stop justice, but such is the plight of Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s disciples, who dedicate their lives to preserving and reviving Sanatana Hindu Dharma, at risk to their very lives, every day.

4 August, 2017 - Hindu Extremists Protest at Thondaimandala Aadheenam.

It is well-known that in India, 'mob-lynching' is a clear strategy to eliminate, segregate and isolate someone without any particular individual or organisation to blame for it. Hindu terrorist groups such as Bajrang Dal and RSS, who are looking to destroy all Guru-based traditions, have been long known to use such strategies. Raja T Vijaykumar, a Hindu extremist, the main assailant in the conspiracies against His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda in Thondaimandala Aadheenam, Kanchipuram, staged a two-day illegal protest against Paramahamsa Nithyananda's disciples, who were there as caretakers of the current Pontiff and who were running the Aadheenam.

Further, Raja T. Vijaykumar incited mob hatred against Paramahamsa Nithyananda's devotees, claiming that they were there to usurp the organization and take over it's property. The incited locals were compelled to sit outside of every door to the Aadheenam, ready to attack anyone who attempted to enter or leave. Even ladies were employed in this strategic and vicious plot, as the attackers were sure that Sanyasis would never pick up weapon to defend themselves.

Threats were issued during the protest, stating that the protest would go on continuously until the victims agreed to their demands. If Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s disciples did not comply, they would barge into the Aadheenam and vandalize the property. Not only this, they constantly bragged that it was their duty to destroy Paramahamsa Nithyananda and his disciples, and that they would not stop until all were sent out of the Aadheenam. The gathered group was taught to chant slogans and spread propaganda against the peaceful disciples violating human rights declared by the UN under article number 3,5,12,18.

24 Nov 2017 - Innocent Disciple of Paramahamsa Nithyananda Nearly Burned Alive

Sri KP Ganamoorthy, a disciple of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, was residing with his family in the ancient Shaivite Thondaimandala Aadheenam at Kanchipuram. Since 2015, his family lived with the aging Pontiff to take care of his health, help run the Aadheenam and maintain the ancient practices of that mutt. Since the Pontiff is a lifelong guide and father figure to His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, he always ensures disciples are there to care for him. However, vested interest parties and anti-social elements in Kanchipuram were a source of constant harassment to all those living in the Aadheenam.

Sri Ganamoorthy’s life came under imminent danger one morning after having received several death threats. The gas stove in the Aadheenam burst into anomalous flames when Ganamoorthy turned it on to cook, as he did several times a day. A devastating injury, instantly crippling him with third degree burns that scarred 50% of his body. It’s a miracle that he survived the explosion at all. Even while in critical care, he wrote a complaint against the conspirators who no doubt tampered with the gas stove… “More than 50% of the body Sri KP Ganamoorthy was burnt, leaving him close to death,” says Ma Nithya Atmanirjanananda, the aadheenam doctor, who has more than 25 years of experience in hospitals. “In my entire medical career, I’ve never seen anyone survive such an extreme case.”

He was alone in the aadheenam at the time of the explosion, as his family was in Bengaluru and Sannidhanam was out on a visit. He was immediately airlifted to Bengaluru, as none of the local hospitals had the facility to treat such deep burns. After the incident, a CSR was filed against the known culprits. Unfortunately, this too did not come to any consequence. Till date, no FIR (First Information Report to be registered by the Police) was registered by the police. Through abusive threats and multiple physical attempts on life the perpetrators aim to create an atmosphere of fear, panic and confusion. The family held onto their spiritual beliefs and responsibilities by continuing to live in the Aadheenam despite the ongoing abuse and threats. The attacks escalated beyond their imagination with this planned assassination attempt, a deadly explosion. Burns covering 50% of one’s body, that is cruel physical torture and inhumane treatment. Left to die alone and later again left with no rights to justice ? No FIR registered by the police ? Such injustice goes against The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 3, 5, 8 & 10.

This was a heinous attempt on the disciples of Paramahamsa Nithyananda who were keeping alive the traditions of Thondaimandalam Aadheenam and its continued administration. If this life attempt had been successful, it would have enabled Hindu militant groups to capture all the properties and wealth of this Aadheenam. There would no longer be anyone to take care that the current Pontiff and see that he is not exploited or removed from his position. Thankfully, Cosmic justice intervened and Sri KP Ganamoorthy survived this brutal attack.

Through inciting hatred and using yellow journalism to support their false claims, these Hindu militant groups continue to attack Thondaimandalam Aadheenam and its Guru MahaSannidhanam. Knowing very clearly that His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda is related to Guru MahaSannidhanam and therefore has a close, personal relationship with him. These Hindu militant assassins are in effect directly attacking Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
