as a Rapist
- Sharmila Devi (Ma Nithya Prabananda Swami)
Sharmila Devi worked as a program director for a very elite senior citizens community in Cupertino, CA. She was happily married to Douglas Mac Kallor. It was Douglas who introduced Sharmila to His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda in 2003. Ms. Devi and Mr. Mac Kallor seemed like the perfect devoted couple, actively contributing to the mission of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Things took a fateful and unexpected turn of events when she was asked by her husband to create a false story against her Guru, alleging him of rape.
He is not the spiritual man I married
My husband was unemployed for many years. He was dependent on my income and healthcare benefits. Still, he started insisted on having a rented separate office. He used to carry multiple smartphones. He was exhibiting behaviour of a person who had something to hide.
While this was happening, the dynamic of our relationship began to change. His behaviour became increasingly erratic. He did not allow me to speak to any male. He was jealous that I was flourishing financially and spiritually. It appeared my success reminded him of his failures. Subsequently, he started losing connection with Swamiji due to his jealousy and insecurity around me. He used to get short-tempered and used his physical force to abuse me. He was jealous and possessive. Gradually the situation became so bad that I felt like a dog on a chain and I couldn't get out of the suffocating situation. The more I stayed with him the more it destroyed my self esteem. He blamed Swamiji for his failures continuously.
The situation got so bad that I had to leave him and go to my parent's house in Malaysia. He came to take me back. When he arrived, he was full of remorse and I believed he wanted to change. However, he soon tried to brainwash my parents against Swamiji. After hearing this, when I refused to go back with him, he got so angry that he broke photo frames of Swamiji into pieces. He wanted me back desperately since he was dependent on me financially. As a wife, I wanted to be there for him in his bad phase. So thinking of giving my broken marriage another chance, I came back with him.
Everything was going well after my return. He was like an ideal loving and caring husband. I lived with him thinking that he had changed.
