I saw my Guru being attacked to be killed in Thailand🔗

In December 2015, it was decided that I will work in the organising team for an international program called Nithyanandoham in Phuket, Thailand. This location was chosen as we thought the risk is too high for His Divine Holiness to conduct such a huge program in India.

As a part of the organising team, we arranged the program in Duangjit hotel in Patong area of Phuket, which we expected to be a safe location. But even there, the extremist Hindu militant groups had their terrorists implanted at the hotel who planned to hijack the event and take Paramahamsa Nithyananda hostage and assassinate Him.

With people attending the program from all over the world, the hotel started extorting money from us, and eventually stopped our paid food supply and then demanded more money from us! We were not going to be blackmailed and planned to vacate everyone to other hotels. When Duangjit hotel management found out about our plans, they became highly aggressive. Our first concern was to ensure that Swamiji and every participant was safely out of the hotel, as it became clear their lives were in danger.

To destroy our program and force us to leave Phuket, they started spreading rumors about us and our Hindu spiritual practices, claiming that we were performing black magic and cursing people. They tried to convince the local government and police that our ritual worship of Hindu Gods was actually an invocation of demons, in order to stop our event and cause extensive harm to the reputation of Paramahamsa Nithyananda and His organization. We were trying as quickly as we could to find new hotel locations, which was difficult because December is peak tourist season and we needed accommodation for over a thousand people.

Regardless, it seemed an impossible task to arrange accommodation for a large group in such short time and under these hostile circumstances (the extremist Hindu militant groups were calling all the resorts and actively telling them not to accept us), we finally found a hotel willing to give us accomodation. The hotel charged double the money to us for conducting the program, taking due advantage of our situation. It was a huge financial loss to us, but we continued to deal with the situation as best as we could.

The shifting of such a large group of people from one hotel to multiple locations brought a lot of discomfort and stress for the participants but we could not inform them what was really happening. We faced many difficulties in the new locations as well. As an organiser, I went through tremendous stress and agony amid the threat to life of my Guru and having to take care of over 1200 people. Every day we were fearing a new attack and for many days even after the incident I was not able to sleep. By the time I left Phuket, I was sick and had 105 degree fever. Immediately after coming back to India I was hospitalized for a week.
