In 2009, Karunanidhi (85-year-old at that time) had called for an all-party meeting. Even after monetary compensation it saw an attendance of only 24,000 party workers. In the same year, about two months later, His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda (who was 32 years old then) conducted a series of satsangs on the sacred text of Bhagavad Gita in the very same hall where Karunanidhi had called his all party meeting. The attendance for the satsang was more than 50,000. People heard four hour long discourses unmoving from their chairs and even waited 24 hours for personal darshan of His Divine Holiness. Was it too much for Karunanidhi to handle?
