Hindu Sanyasis Physically and Verbally Assaulted in their Own Home at Nithyananda Peetham, Trishulam Aadheenam🔗

5 May 2017

Disciples of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda were beaten, sexually assaulted, and verbally harassed by assassins incited by Hindu extremist militant groups, at Nithyananda Peetham, Trishulam Aadheenam, Chennai

Even female Hindu Sanyasis did not escape from the attacks of mob lynching. They were humiliated by having their clothes stripped, fundamentally insulting their sacred vows. This challenged their right to life and security.

Two male and two female Sanyasis, monastic disciples of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, who were residing at Nithyananda Peetham, Trishulam Aadheenam in Chennai (South India) were accosted and attacked by a gang of anti-social, anti-spiritual assassins incited with hatred by Hindu extremist militant groups, who caught them off guard while they were walking in their own property. These Sanyasis were surveying their land, planning to build a Hindu temple, a low cost hospital as well as a Gurukul School as per the ancient Vedic tradition. The sacred structure included an immediate plan for an industrial kitchen from which they were to offer anna daan (free food distribution) to the surrounding people, and a hall for teaching meditation and yoga.

The assassins brutally attacked and abused the Sanyasis. They pulled one of the female sanyasi saree in an effort to humiliate her and insult her sacred vows.

Ma Nithya Supriyananda says, “They not only pushed me to the ground and pulled my clothes, but disgustingly tried to justify this heinous abuse by calling us ‘keeps of Nithyananda,’ implying that we are not chaste devotees, but prostitutes.” They also manhandled her sister disciple, Ma Nithya Pavitrananda Swami, trying to remove her clothing as well as beating both the male Sanyasis, Sri Nithya Yogaswarupananda and Sri Nithya Yogapriyananda.

“This wasn’t an ordinary beating,” recalls Yogapriyananda. “It was also an attack on our sacred sentiment. Beating a man is one thing; in my case, though, they beat me and also ripped my mala, my blessed prayer beads, right off my neck, threw them onto the ground and stomped on them. These beads were gifted to me by Swamiji, so this was truly devastating for me.”

The battered Sanyasis filed a police complaint against their attackers, and continued to stay there to serve the villagers, offering spiritual services to the people despite the very real threat against their lives amidst the continuous stream of assaults.

Assassins Spew Life Threats To Stop Progress of Hut Repair

Chief instigators stop relaying the thatch On 12 May 2017, the Sanyasis at the Trishulam Aadheenam were taking steps to repair the single hut they were living in, as it was almost collapsing over them, thus rendering it uninhabitable.

The Sanyasis had ordered fresh thatch with a devotee who brought it in early morning. The Sanyasis had just finished their morning everyday Guru Puja when they heard some trouble brewing outside the hut. They went out and saw that the thatch roof was brought in a vehicle by devotee Jairam. But in front of the vehicle, two chief instigators and henchmen of the Hindu-extremist forces - former Councillor Anbukumar and his aide Viji - were standing, opposing the redoing of the hut .

They threatened the devotee and attacked the truck driver. They forced the vehicle to back off. They threatened that if the fresh thatch was offloaded, they will finish us off.

It was a blatantly illegal act they were doing, which had to be dealt with. It was clear that they did not want the Sanyasis to establish themselves in any way in that place.

A spiteful mob is gathered They quickly ran up the hill and incited the mob to come down. Soon, there was a crowd of them verbally abusing the Sanyasis. Soon, just through bickering and hurling of vulgar words, a sort of a programmed confusion was put in place by the instigating elements.

The Sanyasis filed an official police complaint for the atrocity.

Following are photographs of the instigating elements slowly growing a crowd around them

The Complaint:

I am Valli Ramanathan D/O Ramanathan chettiar, legal heir of this S.No 341/51. For the past 6 years I am living here for the safety and security of this place in a small hut. A few weeks back, there was heavy rain and wind due to which the hut we were living in started collapsing. Today morning I called labourers to mend the hut. They came with the fresh palm leaves and other materials to redo the hut.

Immediately the Ex-councillor Anbukumar and his aide Viji came by bike and stopped the work and started using very abusive and dirty words on me and Ma Nithya Supriyananda. They were shouting words such as: stupids, bitch, prostitute, rascal, scoundrel dogs, etc in a pornographic and explicit way. They were threatening us that if we don’t vacate, they will throw us out and break even the vehicle which came with the goods. Specifically Ma Nithya Supriyananda, was abused by Viji very cruelly, using her backward community and caste names. They even went to the extent of giving us murder threats.

Assassins who were part of the group were threatening us. Among them, a person called Asokan used certain very vulgar words. This incident happened in my own private property where I am staying for a long time. Unnecessarily, they were staring at us and taking videos, and photos, and harassing us in a derogatory manner. They attacked the contractor and the vehicle that had brought the items for relaying the hut. They abused and used vulgar words to the female Sanyasis who were near me.

We all were females and they kept watching us and staring at us even while we were doing our morning routines. We were just helpless and felt very unsafe. The place where we are staying now is like a forest with overgrown trees and with lots of snakes and life-threatening poisonous creatures. It is an emergency and immediate action required to clean the place and provide basic facilities to live. But they are not allowing us to fulfill our basic needs which is life threatening. I request you to take immediate action to save my life.

Mob lynching on Sanyasis at Nithyananda Peetham, Trishulam Aadheenam, Chennai

Assassins incited by the local henchmen of the Hindu extremist forces, launched a major attack on the Sanyasis (Hindu monks) of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda at Nithyananda Peetham, Trishulam Aadheenam (temple monastery complex), Chennai. The sole aim was to stop the Hindu temple related activities and expel them from the place. It was a huge case of cultural genocide with lives attacked and large area of property destroyed.

16 June 2017

A huge planned genocide was executed on the night of 16th, to destroy lives, property and any trace of the Aadheenam. The Sanyasis had hired three JCB operators to level the land. The henchmen of the Hindu extremist groups, rounded up the three JCB operators and thrashed them physically with sharp weapons, iron rods and rock-stones. Their JCB machines were completely smashed. Then, hundreds of attackers directly started attacking the Sanyasis with sharp weapons and rock-stones. The Sanyasis who were on the path of ahimsa (non-violence), tried to save their lives by reaching the nearest residential unit and locking the doors. The stones and rods kept landing relentlessly like missiles. It was a huge planned massacre. Ruthlessly, the infrastructure and the living units of the Sanyasis were beaten and broken.

Hundreds of attackers directly started attacking the Sanyasis with sharp weapons and rock-stones. The Sanyasis who have vowed to be on the path of ahimsa (non-violence), were helpless and tried to save their lives against the attack by reaching the nearest residential unit and locking the doors from inside. No one knew where the other was. And no one knew if all were safe. The stones and rods kept landing relentlessly like missiles. Petrified and not knowing how to retaliate, the attack was endured in continuous prayer. It lasted for almost an hour and stopped only when the local Police arrived. It was a like huge planned massacre.

Ruthlessly, the infrastructure and the living units of the Sanyasis were beaten and broken.

Below are a few photographs showing the number of attackers increasing

Ma Nithya Supriyananda shares: “I was hearing the sound of the stones landing long after the attack stopped. I was hearing it the whole night. I could not sleep for even a minute. What if they attacked us when we were sleeping....”

The Sanyasis filed a police complaint against the attackers. However no action was taken. It was shocking. The Sanyasis felt helpless and persisted with the police for action to deter further attacks, but their pleas went unheard.

Why such blatant insensitivity towards the innocent and vulnerable Sanyasis?

Who was the Police 'working with' to ignore such crucial legal action?

17th June 2017 passed on quietly. Meanwhile, devotees rushed to the spot after hearing about the attack, and started restoring the vandalized place and property to the best of their ability.

The Sanyasis continued to live there determined to serve the people with their spiritual and social services even though their life was under high risk every moment.

Not giving any right to life, privacy or justice, the attackers returned in full force to eliminate the Sanyasis from the very place. They knew very well that the Sanyasis were non-violent, unsuspecting and defenceless.

Below is the complaint and acknowledgement copy from the local police station. However, no justice could be expected from the police. There was shameless inaction from the Police side.

Second major mob lynching on Sanyasis (Hindu monks) of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, at Nithyananda Peetham, Chennai, South India, provoked by Hindu extremist militant groups. Physical injuries sustained. Property and infrastructure destroyed beyond repair.

18 June 2017 - The relentless persecution on His Divine Holiness and His Sanyasis continued. The mob lynching did not stop with the shocking incident on the 16th of June at Nithyananda Peetham, Trishulam Aadheenam. In less than thirty-six hours, like the aftershock of an earthquake, there was another major attack on the 18th of June 2017 at around 11 am. Many sanyasis could have died, with attempt to murder and rape in broad daylight.

Heartless ‘inaction’ on the part of Police causes second brutal attack on the Sanyasis and vandalism of property

The reason for the second attack was the heartless INACTION of the police for the complaint filed for the mob lynching on the 16th of June

Senior Sanyasi Ma Bhaktikananda recalls, “We begged the Inspector to take action against the attackers as our very lives had been attacked so brutally. And not only that, we had to continue to live where the attackers also lived. There was a lurking danger that any time they will attack us again. We could not sleep in the nights thinking that they might attack us at any time. The inspector asked us: ‘Has someone died that we need to take action? Relax. It is not required.’ We were shocked! So, only if there is a death, the police will take notice and enforce action!

We continued into another sleepless night in utter insecurity, with nightmares from the night of the attack haunting us. I looked around and saw. We were living in containers. There were so many young female Sanyasis. The situation was too vulnerable. I felt helpless and hopeless.”

On 18th June 2017, in broad daylight at around 10.30 am, the mob lynchers planned their second mass attack on the Sanyasis at Nithyananda Peetham, Trishulam Aadheenam.

Their sole aim was to STOP the Hindu temple from being established and stop the services offered and expel the Hindu Sanyasis from the land.

The Sanyasis had just finished their morning spiritual routine and were having their breakfast. Suddenly a brewing commotion was heard outside. It was like a bickering going on. The area is well known for its bickering women and criminal men. As the commotion increased, the sanyasis stepped out of their dining area to take a look. No sooner did they step out, the attackers had achieved their target and started attacking the Sanyasis.

Office destroyed by the assassins. (Top Right)

A gory attack that lasted an hour Around 150 of them entered the living areas of the Sanyasis, hurling heavy boulder stones at high speed and directly at the Sanyasis who were by now running for their lives to protect themselves in the nearest shelter. The attack lasted for over an hour till the police arrived. The attackers used metal rods, wooden rods, other sharp objects, stones and anything they got in their hands to attack.
