'Paisa feko, tamasha dekho'🔗

(29 March 2010) The headline says - “Paisa feko, tamasha dekho”. The literal meaning is, “Throw money, and watch the drama show.” It implies: bribe the fake witnesses and enjoy the fake trial. On 8th June 2012, during illegal detainment and interrogation of the female monks, the Bidadi Police reminded them that they could be rewarded with monetary compensation if they gave a false complaint.

(Right) : The Police officers refuse to accept the complaint against Ajith of Suvarna Television. Ajith had planted an Anthrax letter bomb to kill His Divine Holiness and also had molested female monks to divert attention.

Ma Nithya Bhaktikananda Swami a senior Sanyasi recalls the moments of illegal arrest:

“I was on stage for the second press meet that happened on 8th of June 2012 at the Bengaluru Aadheenam. Inside the meditation hall, the Karnataka Navanirman Sene elements were sitting and we did not know. They had hidden their yellow scarves and entered the hall. They just like that started a row out of nothing. They were so rough and tough and we were so unassuming and righteous.

It was such a gross mismatch. I have seen such scenes only in movies. They were simply beating us for more than an hour before leaving the campus. We couldn’t come to terms with what was happening to us. What right had they to enter and break our hard-earned things? What right they had over our life? And what had we done to them? Nothing! How can one television channel reporter Ajith have so much hate against us? It was of monstrous proportions.

At around 3 pm, I was sitting in the front part of the meditation hall and working on my laptop while the campus was being restored. The police was still in the campus. Residents and volunteers started restoring the meditation hall, putting things back in its place and removing the damaged items. Suddenly a police officer walked towards me. He called me to go with him. I closed my laptop and naively followed him, thinking he was taking me to identify the miscreants of the attacks.

He took me to a waiting van. A lady officer clicked my photograph and gestured to get into the van. There, I saw a few of the residents already sitting. I asked them what was going on. They did not know.

Soon, a few more residents joined us. And the van started. The van went for internal rounds inside the Aadheenam picking more residents, who simply left what they were doing and boarded the van like me. The van left the campus. We had no clue what was happening, where they were taking us, what was their agenda....etc. On the way, we suddenly started getting the feeling that we were being arrested. It became an unspoken undercurrent feeling amidst most of us. We were almost sure of it by the time we reached the police station.

We got off at the police station and were held in custody! 16 of us! We were the victims but they were arresting us! Who complained? It was Ajith of Suvarna Television. So he attacked us the previous day and filed a complaint against us immediately! It was all pre-planned! We could not believe to what extent a persecution could be stretched. Ajith came to the police station and interacted briefly with the policemen. They seemed to know each other well. We later came to know that Ajith had actually identified 16 of us who were seen prominently protecting Swamiji and given instructions to arrest us against his fake complaint which had Swamiji also in it even though Swamiji was not even present on the scene!

It was the most shameful thing that the perpetrator of the crime was pointing at us and the police was following his “instructions”. Ajith’s case was later quashed by the Court with a severe reprimand of him for having filed such a baseless complaint. But we had to go through the persecution before it was quashed the following year.”

They cheer and share stories with each other how they physically assaulted the males and sexually molested the female aadheenam residents and yet no action was taken on them. The State Police gave them complete protection while they carried out their acts of perverted violence and finally succeeded in getting disciples of His Divine Holiness arrested.

Guru Purnima celebrations disbanded after effigy is burned outside aadheenam

12 July 2014

After experiencing the painful separation from their Guru, thanks to the persecution forces, finally the residents of the Bengaluru aadheenam celebrated Guru Poornima on 12 July 2014. They celebrated this auspicious day with their beloved Guru, Paramahamsa Nithyananda, listening to His satsang, enjoying cultural performances, followed by a large procession. The main gate was open for public to receive the blessings of His Divine Holiness.

When the entire sangha celebrated the occasion and walked and danced with His Divine Holiness in procession, they all felt deeply thankful to be all together again on the very day when human beings celebrate the happening of the Guru in their lives.

But even this peace and freedom of celebration did not last long as something else was going on meanwhile at the main gate. Around 15 Hindu extremist militants attacked the gate of the Bengaluru Aadheenam, visibly wielding weapons. After more than two years of character assassination in the media, the popularity of His Divine Holiness had come down to the point that He was psychologically isolated and much hatred towards Him was incited in the public.

As soon as the aadheenam security was informed of this threat, the gates were closed to public. The 15 people suddenly grew in size to 30 angry mob lynchers. Without waiting to get inside, they set fire to posters and flyers of Paramahamsa Nithyananda and brought down billboards of their stand in front of the gate. The burning materials were thrown inside the aadheenam, with the intention to set the rest of the aadheenam on fire.

The Guru Poornima celebrations were disbanded for that day and the residents were instructed to be indoors due to the unsafe, dynamic environment outside. Many devotees around the world promised furiously, “Until the persecution ends for my Swamiji, we will not eat food!”

Mob Lynching, Character Assassination & Relentless

Persecution Continues for Paramahamsa Nithyananda

Four years after the main investigation was released, the relentless persecution of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda continues, and He still faces assassination attempts both on His life and character. On the night of October 24, 2014, the kannada television TV9 sent a large group of paid assassins to invade the spiritual complex and home of His Divine Holiness at Bengaluru Aadheenam.

24 Oct 2014

After breaking into the ashram, the enraged men couldn't find Paramahamsa Nithyananda and fulfill their mission to kill Him. Because they could not fulfill their mission they began to plant false evidences: entrails of liquor, condoms and drugs, which could elicit another false case against Him. The attempt was not to kill Him, but to frame Him with various serious crimes further killing His reputation in the media and creating even more false news against Him for the general public.

6 June 2018 - Attempt on Life inside

On June 6 2018, three people armed with machetes and fully covered faces, barged into His Divine Holiness residency in Bangalore. He was in a meeting with His assistant, they broke into the room. As soon as they opened the door, His Divine Holiness seeing the assassins rushing towards Him, ran into the bathroom to save His life. His assistant and personal security tried to protect Him. The attackers followed Him to the restroom. But seeing that they could not break through, they escaped. The identity of these people was concealed, so never known. When they were not able to break through the bathroom door they escaped. His Divine Holiness assistant saw that there were actually 4 people, but only three of them attacked His Divine Holiness and one of them was video recording whatever was happening. This was to upload to the Internet as their pride, to show people that they can finish / end His Divine Holiness' life.

3 July 2018 – Assassins storm the Bengaluru Aadheenam looking to kill His Divine Holiness

On the 3rd of July 2018, at about 5:30 pm, a group of about 10 assassins barged into the Bengaluru Aadheenam (sacred temple monastery in Bengaluru), spiritual headquarters and living space of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda and abusively started demanding to know where ‘Swami Nithyananda’ is. The Sanyasis (Hindu monks) who kept security at the gate at the same time dedicated to serving humanity and always welcoming the spiritual seekers and devotees from worldwide into the Bengaluru Aadheenam, tried to peacefully enquire what the group wanted.

Meanwhile, the uniformed security guards at the gate got frightened at the group of what did not look like a spiritually seeking group. They did not even come forward to attend to them; they remained hiding behind the gate inside the cabin.

With a criminal agenda to attack the life of His Divine Holiness, the assassins rudely demanded to be immediately told where ‘Swami Nithyananda’ is, and threatened the Sanyasis. Violent elements from ‘Hindu extremist militant groups’, beat up the Sanyasis and intimidated and harassed the residents when they refused to reveal the whereabouts of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. The others present at the gate, including the women at the spot, who stood shocked and rooted to the ground, were watching the whole violent attack in deep fear. None of them had seen such a direct demand for the life of His Divine Holiness. They were shaken to their roots. A clear bell of alarm rang through their whole system, terrorising them to their core. Their concern for their Guru’s security suddenly took a leap.

Such methods of attack is called ‘mob lynching’ where hatred is instilled into the attackers against the targeted person, in this case Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In one of the most peaceful and non-violent spiritual places in the whole planet, where the Divine resides in the sacred temple monastery worshipped by millions, where the inspired, evolved people of the society dedicate their lives to create a peaceful, powerful spiritual world, such inhuman acts of life-attack, violence and terror came as a completely rude interruption. Such happenings definitely need the high-thinkers and visionaries of the society to respond and protect the keepers of the spiritual world with much more forthcomingness.

Assassins stormed the gate at Nithyananda Peetham, Bengaluru Aadheenam, threatening violence and hurling unspeakable insults towards unarmed monks. This is security footage from the front gate at Nithyananda Peetham, Bengaluru Aadheenam, where on the 4th of July, 2018, assassins attempted to enter the campus in search of Paramahamsa Nithyananda. The violent men were restrained by another visitor, if not for which, they could have caused much more harm.

2001-04-14 Pontiff (spiritual head) of Thondaimandala Aadheenam – A Guide and Father-Figure

The 232nd Guru Mahasannidhanam (spiritual head) of Thondaimandala Adheenam (an ancient temple monastery complex), Sri Thiruvambaladesika Jnanaprakasha Swamigal, is fondly called as Sannidhanam. He is also the Kula Guru (officiated spiritual master of the family lineage) of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, as he belongs to the same community of Adi Saiva Velalars as the latter. Paramahamsa Nithyananda has been declared as the lawful successor or the 233rd Guru Mahasannidhanam of the Thondaimandala Aadheenam.

The 232nd Sannidhanam has known Paramahamsa Nithyananda since he was eight years old. His presence has graced such auspicious occasions as the opening of Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s first temple at Tiruchengode in South India in 2001, situated on the banks of the sacred River Kaveri. Sri Thiruvambaladesika Jnanaprakasha Swamigal had graced the momentous event with all his well-wishes. He has been a source of great strength and support as a Hindu leader to His Divine Holiness, especially during times of persecution.

The Sannidhanam has also graced gatherings of seekers with eye-opening satsangs in Tamil at Nithyananda Peetham in Bengaluru, and regularly accompanies Paramahamsa Nithyananda to Kumbha Melas (largest Hindu pilgrimage of faith) and other yatras (pilgrimages).

For more than fifteen years, Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s Sanyasis and Aadheenam residents have been taking care of the health of Sannidhanam and assisting him in the maintenance and expansion of the Thondaimandala Aadheenam.
