-Ma Nithya Nirbhayananda
Forced to vacate her safe home of Bengaluru Aadheenam (temple monastery complex) when it made volatile through media planned mob attacks, her life was shattered.
I am originally from Tamil Nadu and have a Master’s Degree in Biochemistry. Right before coming to the Aadheenam I was studying Bioinformatics in Bangalore and holding a job also.
In 2006, I attended a 2-day meditation workshop. During the mediation, I had a deep spiritual experience. I also saw the Banyan Tree, from far off, I began to weep. It was then and there, I decided this is my life and I’m going to be here. In early 2008 I came to the Aadheenam. I was shortly after that initiated as a sanyasi (monk) with the Nithyananda Order.
