Direct life-attack on His Divine Holiness and disciples at Kanjanur
After He was appointed as the 293rd pontiff of the 2500-year old Hindu religious establishment on 27 April 2012, His Divine Holiness started the complete renovation work at all the temples belonging to the Madurai Aadheenam.
Hindu extremists forces who did not want His Divine Holiness to be the official head of the Madurai Aadheenam, had incited a mob lynch against the Sanyasis of His Divine Holiness just the previous day at Kanjanur. The Sanyasis were hospitalised after the life attack. A peaceful protest was planned to express the resentment against the attack on the Sanyasis. However, the local police gave word that they would arrest the attackers and not requested to conduct the protest. Trusting their words, the peaceful protest was cancelled.
However, when His Divine Holiness and the 292nd Pontiff were travelling back from Kanjanur on the 30th of May 2012, the attackers confronted their vehicle and in the most derogatory act ever, threw slippers at the two Pontiffs, spat, and abused them with derogatory words and tried to attack and kill them. The police tried to weakly stop them and allowed the attackers to beat them also. Usually, in a ‘mob lynch’, the police and media standby and watch the mob, because they themselves are part of the conspiracy to incite mob hatred against a target person and then allow the mob to attack the person while they standby posing to be helpless. And the entire operations is masterminded by the Hindu extremist forces.

The attackers also dragged Senthil Kumar and Muthukrishnan out of the escort vehicle beat them up brutally. The volunteers had come to do service at the Kanjanur temple.

The attack was partially videotaped by Nithyananda Peetham’s official videographer, and the videos and photos were handed over as evidence to the brutal attack at the Tiruppananthal police station where the police complaint was lodged.
2012-06-22 Illegal charges of ‘mixing drugs in holy water’

Holy water being distributed at the Madurai Aadheenam
In order to incite public hatred against His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, Hindu extremist groups pressurised the local police to register yet another false case against Him in connection with the Madurai Aadheenam. His Divine Holiness was appointed 293rd Pontiff of the Madurai Aadheenam in April 2012.
His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda thus continued to be attacked by the extremist Hindu militant groups aimed at eliminating Him from the face of the Planet.
In this incident, the Hindu extremist forces were aiming to further character-assassinate Him in order to continue the ‘Justification propaganda’ to justify any attack on His life or otherwise by anyone, be it media, police or politicians.

The Trigger
On June 22 2012, Friday, the trigger that the Hindu extremist groups used was a false allegation as a legal complaint. They spread a rumor that the ‘holy’ water distributed at the Madurai Aadheenam was mixed with drugs.
The Conspiracy: In a series of framed cases, the police had registered a case against Paramahamsa Nithyananda and two others based on a false complaint by petitioner M Solaikannan of the Hindu Makkal Katchi (a militant Hindu extremist group) that His Divine Holiness mixed drugs in the holy water and offered it to the devotees who visited the Aadheenam. There were several raids at the Madurai Aadheenam because of this. The biased media took the opportunity to sensationalize the whole of Madurai. By doing so, they portrayed Him as a life-threat to the people of Madurai and attempted to incite the mob against Him. It was an attempt to destroy the sanctity of the Guru-disciple tradition of Sanatana Hindu Dharma (now called Hinduism).
Assassination: The intention was to execute the assassination of Paramahamsa Nithyananda without any social, political, legal implications through the faceless mob. The Hindu Makkal Katchi group came in large numbers, with trucks full of local instigated, hypnotized mobs bearing iron rods and opened attack on His Divine Holiness whom they wished to find in the Adheenam.

When they could not find Divine Holiness, they damaged the Aadheenam property and the attacked His Sanyasis (Hindus Monks). Multiple attackers grouped up around isolated sanyasis to brutally beat them black and blue. They were armed with powerful weapons while the sanyasis were completely unarmed. Having taken the vow of nonviolence, the Sanyasis only managed to defend themselves. The extremist groups continued to assault the sanyasis to send the message that they were after His Divine Holiness and waiting for Him. Not just this, they stole several valuable possessions during the attack. It created tremendous fear and panic amongst the public and devotees. It was torturous for them to see one or the other sanyasi getting beaten up every other day. The dark days did not seem to have an end, and attacks never stopped.
