Nithyananda - Inciting Mob Violence on National television

  • The ongoing hate propaganda against His Divine Holiness has been used to justify incitement to violence against Him on a national television. It contributed to atrocious life attacks of His Divine Holiness and His Disciples, violent vandalism and ethnic cleansing of Adishaiva minority. Instance of Incitement to violence against a Hindu Guru is not isolated or spontaneous event. It is a part of multilayered process for merciless ethnic cleansing and cultural genocide.

Suvarna News television panelist, Vagish Prasad wields weapon during panel discussion, issuing life-threat to His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Police Case was filed by beleaguered devotee. It is a shocking account of Media Mafia's criminal onslaught. This video broadcast is nothing short of committing a broad daylight crime amidst millions threatening the life of a Spiritual Leader, worshipped and revered by millions worldwide.

09 March 2013 - Suvarna news television and its employees are notorious for regularly inciting mob hatred in Karnataka towards His Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. By massive public penetration, systematic barbarous attacks have been instigated to eliminate Paramahamsa Nithyananda and destroy Sanatana Hindu Dharma.

In March 2013, some Hindu Extremist Terrorist groups caused tension between the Lingayat community and His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. There were financial motives behind creating this issue, which was revealed by the sting operation against Rishi Kumar. He was hired by Suvarna channel to speak against Paramahamsa Nithyananda on television to create unnecessary conflict.

In continuation of this, Suvarna News Television of South India on a continuous vengeful onslaught, had panelists blatantly threaten and abuse Paramahamsa Nithyananda on a panel discussion. Well known for their Hindu extremists terrorist views, they verbally attacked Paramahamsa Nithyananda, a spiritual leader of a minority of Hindu group, who has a world-wide devotee base. They intentionally wanted to create a division between Paramahamsa Nithyananda (and His followers) and the rest of the Hindu community. Suvarna News TV went so far as to allow their speaker, Vagish Prasad, to wield a deadly sickle against Him issuing a life threat openly on the channel watched by millions of people. Their sole intention was to incite mob violence against Him in an attempt to mob lynch Him.

Vagish Prasad, a panelist in the Suvarna TV shows, wielding a chopper openly issued a threat to life to Paramahamsa Nithyananda and His followers. This program was aired continuously by the accused TV channel Suvarna News 24x7.

MEDIA TERRORISM: Crime Stories of Samaya Television Nexus with Extremist Militants - telecasted life attacks on Monks & Monastery

This attack by media was to incite mob violence inhumanely encouraging violent extremism, blasphemy and youth radicalization against His Divine Holiness. The media-Hindu extremists nexus unlawfully declared their monopoly in the state while thrashing the religious rights of His Divine Holiness’ spiritual community. Police did not acknowledge or penalise the perpetrators of this criminalized extremist propaganda thereby clearly proving it to be state-sponsored.

13, 14 January 2014:

LAUNCHING THE LINGUISTIC PROPAGANDA TO JUSTIFY CRIME Samaya Television telecast false accusations against His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda and His followers to character assassinate and a strategic plan to generate public hate and indifference.

  • FALSE CLAIM: was that His Divine Holiness is causing linguistic violence, ‘insulting Kannadigas’ (residents of Karnataka state), and instigating the owner of a Haridwar Hotel (where He and His organization members were residing for a meditation program) to stop Kannadigas (the residentials of Karnataka state) from entering into the hotel. FACT: No one was stopped from entering the hotel. No Kannadiga was stopped. Completely baseless accusation. (the hotel general manager video and statement is enclosed further below)
  • This linguistically provoked propaganda was the pretext to justify an attack on His Divine Holiness and kill him by manipulating Kannadigas to incite hate violence.

The premeditated attack was led by one Mr. Ranganath Bharadwaj, against whom several cases have been filed by the Nithyananda Aadheenam (monastery) and followers of Paramahamsa Nithyananda for defamation and breach of peace.

  • It is learned from reliable sources that Mr. Ranganath Bharadwaj is the relative of Mr. Vinay Bharadwaj, who was sentenced to 4.75 years imprisonment for multiple counts of sexual assault of a minor girl in the USA.
  • Prior to Vinay's arrest in the US, Mr. Ranganath Bharadwaj had tried to broadcast Vinay Bharadwaj on the Suvarna TV channel to allege that Paramahamsa Nithyananda's ashram was responsible for instigating this – Vinay Bharadwaj's incarceration.
  • Ranganath formerly served as a reporter on Suvarna TV. Unfortunately, prior to Vinay's statement being televised on Suvarna TV, the USA courts found him guilty of sexual assault of a girl child. Vinay Bharadwaj went on multiple appeals, the final appeal outcome was that the US Court has turned down ALL of his appeals and had actually ordered him to pay all of the lawyers' fees as well.
  • Since Ranganath's plan was aborted due to Vinay's arrest, he went ahead to instigate a baseless case of linguistic violence in Karnataka against Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

Samaya Television incites Linguistic violence against His Divine Holiness

  • Infuriated by the arrest of his nephew, he lashed out by sending a group of militant terrorists to beat up the a single Sanyasi (hindu monk) living at the Aadheenam (temple monastery) in Uttarahalli – severely injuring him, breaking his bones and vandalizing the property. This came as a shock to the neighbors as they knew the Sannyasi to be well known of calm and helpful nature – enriching them by teaching yoga and meditation. Taking law into his own hands, Ranganatha made several life-taking criminal attempts to malign and destroy Paramahamsa Nithyananda but to no avail.

This violent attack on the Nithyananda Peetham, Uttarahalli Aadheenam, and Sri Nithya Bhaktimayananda Swami, violated the UN Human Right Laws including the Right to Life & Security (Article 3), Right to Privacy (Article 12) and No Discrimination (Articles 2, 7).

SAMAYA TELEVISION RUNS ATROCIOUS TV PANEL DISCUSSION WITH EXTREMIST HINDU CRIMINAL ELEMENTS

The Samaya Television panel that were hired on the TV channel to discuss this (false) allegation comprised of extremist Hindu militant terrorists with vested interests and were proven in the court of law to be criminal elements, including the likes of Karnataka Navnirman Sena's Bhimashankar Patil, Madan Patel, etc.

Mr. Bhima Shankar Patil himself is not only accused in a number of criminal cases but was also beaten up badly few months back in Bijapur for defrauding and cheating hundreds of people, promising them homes for their families. He was also being pursued by the police and arrested for a number of other illegal crimes.

Mr. Madan Patel, in the same way, was expelled from the BSR party during the recent elections for selling the party tickets and making money. He even made a defamatory movie on Paramahamsa Nithyananda titled ‘Satyananda’ and when faced with a stay of proceedings by the Karnataka courts, he tried to blackmail the ashram authorities and devotees of Paramahamsa Nithyananda demanding a sum of Rs. 6 crores from them. The ashram authorities denied this illegal extortion demand. The recording of the same is also available on CD.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

TAKING THE LAW IN HAND - THIS SHOWS THE GROSS VIOLENCE AND CRIMINAL WORKS OF THE SAMAYA TV AND THE EXTREME HINDU MILITANT TERRORIST NEXUS.

  • The Hindu Extremist activist openly tells his criminal acts in the TV interview that - ‘Today our activists have gone and destroyed it (aadheenam in Bengaluru).....’ ; ‘Tomorrow we will attack them also. For any reason, Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena will not allow Nithyananda to start or run any Dhyanapeeta mutt in Karnataka. Until he leaves Karnataka our fight will continue.”

WHY DID THE POLICE TAKE NO ACTION FOR THIS CRIMINAL ACT? THE CRIMES OF MEDIA & EXTREME HINDU TERRORISTS BROADCASTED TO MILLIONS ON TELEVISION WENT UNNOTICED BY THE LAW KEEPERS.

THE DESENSITIZATION OF THE PUBLIC TO THIS CRIME, THE NEXUS OF MEDIA-POLICE AGAINST HIS DIVINE HOLINESS AND HIS PEOPLE IS BECAUSE OF THE JUSTIFICATION PROPAGANDA OF THE MEDIA AGAINST HIM AND SANATANA HINDU DHARMA.

TV ANCHOR: Unable to tolerate Nithyananda’s activities Kannada activists expressed their anger against Nithyananda. Nithyananda has a meditation center in Uttarahalli. This meditation center was attacked by Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena. This meditation center is located in Uttarahalli, Vandalam Nagar. This meditation has been attacked by Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena. We are seeing in the visuals how Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena activists are attacking this meditation center located at Vandalam Nagar Uttarahalli, breaking the things there..their anger has reached its heights because they are not able to tolerate Nithyananda’s activities anymore.

This attack was led by Bhima Shankar Patil of Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena. Bhima Shankar Patil is on the phone with us now:

Anchor: Patilji how many of you took part in this attack and what is the next action you are going to take?”

Patil: When the chief minister ordered for an investigation I had told that action has to be taken regarding his activities within 24 hours and a decision has to be made. The time in up. This mutt, they started 4 months ago by building a compound wall and putting his picture and board saying Nithyananda Dhyanapeetham. Today our activists have gone and destroyed it. Just like this, he has opened Dhyanapeetam in 6 other places in Bangalore it seems. We got information about 2 places. Tomorrow we will attack them also. For any reason, Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena will not allow Nithyananda to start or run any Dhyanapeetam mutt in Karnataka. Until he leaves Karnataka our fight will continue.

Anchor: So you have taken law in your own hands.

Patil: No, I didn’t say that we are taking law into our own hands. He is doing everything against the law only. There are so many legal cases against him. Still, he is hiding and going around saying I am in Haridwar, Kedar, Kashi etc. So that’s the reason why we are not doing anything by taking law into our hands. How can we agree if he just puts one shed at some unofficial place and says this is Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam. We are Kannadigas. Next to it there are houses, decent people are living. Tomorrow if he starts the same activities as in Bidadi how will the neighbors accept that? Again there the atmosphere will get spoilt. That atmosphere should not get spoilt. Our Karnataka people; Kannadigas should not have any difficulty. That is the reason why we took this decision. We didn’t take law in our hands. We are committed to law. we are trying to get our hands on the papers of that land. Maybe by tomorrow when we get the papers of that site Once we get it we will make a bigger more furious fight in that place.

Anchor: Bhimashankar Patilji, there are many ways in which you can express your opposition towards him. You can take out a peaceful protest. If you are attacking you should have got tahsildar, DC and informed the police officials and along with them you should have gone.

Patil: When it comes to Nithyananda we do not trust any official or any politician. Even though Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena has been fighting against the illegal activities of Nithyananda, till today not even one official has been able to take a strong decision… because there is political pressure is there and Nithyananda has strong political clout. He has this evil mind of managing anything we will not be able to get him out like that. I told before also that Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena will do a peaceful protest, but if action not taken we will have to create a revolution. We have taken the first step. Whatever happens, Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena people are ready to face it.

Anchor: Now you are attacking..there is one disciple there. Pushing him and being violent towards him, how correct is that Bhimashankar Patilji?

Patil: Please don't get it wrong. While the attack was going on our activists have not been violent towards anyone. Nithyananda's photo has been brought down and torn, the compound wall has been broken. Other than this nothing has been done. We have not attacked or been violent towards anyone.

Today we have taken an unshakable decision that whatever happens it's ok, even if they hang us it's ok but from now on Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena will attack Nithyananda's ashrams, we will surrender.. we have not attacked any person physically. our intention is to get Nithyananda out of Karnataka.

Anchor: Ok Patilji, so is the next attack on Nithyananda Bidadi ashram then?

Patil: That is also on the queue. There are other 2 ashrams that Nithyananda has in Bangalore. After we are done with those 2 we will definitely attack Bidadi ashram also. Even if he brings police officials or army itself Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena will still attack Bidadi ashram.

Anchor: You said there are 2 more ashrams, where is it located Patilji?

Patil: I will bring that to your attention tomorrow evening or day after tomorrow.

Anchor: So there is a possibility that you will attack those places also?

Patil: Not just a possibility, for sure we will attack. Nithyananda for any reason should not be on Karnataka land. It's starting only today. When it will end I don't know. Today we have started, we will continue until he leaves Karnataka.

Anchor: Ok Bhimashankar Patilji. Thank you for talking to Samaya news.

Statement of Haridwar Hotel Management - clarifying that no one from Karnataka was stopped or withheld from entering the Hotel at Haridwar

Here is the testimonial from the General Manager of Hotel Sarovar, Sri Brijesh Gupta, who publicly expressed his shock at this false accusation by Samaya channel (seen in the below photograph). In his statement he said,

VIDEO LINK: https://www.facebook.com/justificationpropaganda/videos/250147979130979/

“It is very disheartening to know the statement which is made by the said channel. Swamiji (Paramahamsa Nithyananda) and his message are all-inclusive and welcoming and uniting everyone.

I don’t know how the channel is showing this, but if they are showing this, it is a very wrong allegation against Swamiji. And if they want to come (to the hotel) and see whether anyone is stopping them, they can see! They can come and check if they have any doubts about it...I personally, as the General Manager of the hotel, Brijesh Gupta, would like to state that the channel is making such a statement that is very wrong and very disheartening. No such statement has been made either by Swamiji or any of his interpreters to the hotel. His program and satsang have been open for all. And I can see local people also coming and calling and they’re attending the program. So there are no boundaries for anyone. We are not stopping anyone, neither hotel nor satsang people. I have had the good fortune of attending a few satsangs personally and I have felt very enriched...It’s our pleasure to have Swamiji and have such a world class spiritual program in our premises. So that spirituality in this premises again brings the goodness of this hotel, a good future for this hotel and for the people of Haridwar and the place of Haridwar. Swamiji and his message is all inclusive and welcoming. Uniting everyone which is not that dividing and we aren’t stopping anyone. I don’t know how this channel is showing this, but still. If it is shown by some channel which is very wrong, a wrong indication to Swamiji.”

STATEMENT OF HIS DIVINE HOLINESS PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA

Pained by these false and malicious accusations, His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda also responded with a statement,

“I wanted to make it very clear to the people of Karnataka – I love Karnataka and I love people of Karnataka. Neither I, nor my representatives, made any of these kinds of statements. We don’t have any barriers based on religion, language, nothing. We’re open to all human beings. We’re open to everyone.

After the attack, the administrator of Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam ashram in Bidadi, Shri Sairam Muthuswamy, presented a pleading letter to the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Karnataka, clarifying the facts and appealing to take the necessary action to stop all of the violence & harassment.

Letter to the Chief Minister from the administrator of Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam:

“This is a blatant violation of the law and is being instigated by vested interests led by one Mr. Ranganath Bharadwaj, against whom several cases have been filed by Nithyananda ashram and followers, for breach of peace and defamation. It is learned from reliable sources that Mr. Ranganath Bharadwaj is the relative of Mr. Vinay Bharadwaj, who is in jail in the USA after being sentenced to 4.75 years imprisonment for multiple counts of sexual assault on a minor girl. It is to be noted that Mr. Ranganath Bharadwaj had also tried to bring this Vinay Bharadwaj on the Suvarna TV channel that he was a reporter of formerly, alleging that Nithyananda ashram is responsible for instigating Vinay Bharadwaj’s incarceration. This is when the truth is that US police and Court did their investigation and found him guilty of serious offenses of sexual assault and after Mr. Vinay Bharadwaj went on multiple appeals, the final appeal outcome being that the US Court has turned down all appeals and even ordered him to pay all the lawyer fees.

Nithyananda ashram and Paramahamsa Nithyananda have always and will continue to love the people of Karnataka. They are grateful to the soil and salt of Karnataka and highly respect the holy land of Karnataka that has been hosting spirituality and enlightened Masters since thousands of years. The ashram has always been and will always be open to people of not only Karnataka, but also the whole of India and the world, as the very purpose for its existence is to serve the people and provide them with spiritual solutions for a happy and successful life. The ashram has no barriers of religion, language or anything. So the ashram welcomes all the people of Karnataka and the rest of India, except mischief-mongers like Mr. Ranganath Bharadwaj and his associates.

We request your kind offices to please note the above and take strong action against these unscrupulous elements for attempting to breach the peace in the State of Karnataka.”

This entire heinous event was the result of unprecedented attacks on the spiritual leader leading to a number of Human Rights Violations such as the No Discrimination Act (Article 2,7), Right to Justice (Article 8, 10) and the basic right of Innocent Until Proven Guilty (Article 11).
