Life of a Hindu Sanyasi; assassins incited by Hindu extremist groups keep attacking...
24 April, 2017 - A Sanyasi describes his stay at the aadheenam
“The Hindu extremist militant and the anti-Hindu forces, strategically planned and denied my right of life and security, by not allowing me to have basic needs such as food, water and shelter. I felt it was truly dehumanizing” (Violation of Article 3 of the UN Human Rights declaration)
Sri Nithya Yogaswarupananda candidly tells his experience of living in Trishulam Aadheenam (a temple monastery complex) for one year, as a vicious unforeseen battle was started there by Sun Television and Hindu extremist militant groups. For one year, he alone faced the initial abuse with a brave face, standing for the teachings of Sanatana Hindu Dharma (now called Hinduism) as taught by his beloved Guru His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

A Divine Vision for the land - thwarted and postponed His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda had sent a team of disciples to build a temple, a low cost hospital, gurukul school and serve anna dhaan (free food service) in the Trishulam Aadheenam. He was inspiring them to immediately start serving all the local people with a long term goal of providing free medical care and education to the community. In His infinite compassion, Paramahamsa Nithyananda told them that money was no obstacle, and encouraged them to build using only the best materials. Unfortunately though, the plans were challenged by a group of local assassins instigated by Hindu extremist militant groups and atheist groups who wanted to grab that land for themselves. These assassins themselves, were instigated by encroachers on the land who were actually the henchmen of the Hindu extremist and atheist groups.
“All essentials were cut off for me by the assassins”
These assassins--who spared no second thought to trashing the land and physically attacking their perceived opponent--barred delivery trucks from bringing building materials, threatened violence against workers, plumbers and construction crews who were hired to develop infrastructure there, and worst of all, they acted on their threats.
“I was weak, famished and dehydrated,” says Sri Nithya Yogaswarupananda, who was the sole rightful occupant of the land at that time. “I had enough money to buy whatever I wanted: the best food, barrels of water, but no matter how much I ordered, not a single load was allowed to reach me. They didn’t care whether I lived or died; they only wanted to continue to trash the land they stole from our Sangha (community). The worst part was, the police played along both sides, so expecting any kind of justice from them in spite of being the owner of the land was mere wishful thinking.” “They ate our food and wanted to kill us in return”

“The assassins attacked and threatened me” A mob of four people came and attacked me. They left me bloodied and bruised. they warned “If you stay here, you have to listen to us, you have to keep quiet and obey our rules.”
“They told us to evacuate and filed a false complaint against us” The assassins gave the police a false complaint about us, spreading lies that we had dangerous weapons with us, and that we were conducting human sacrifices and black magic! The truth is, we lived an authentic Hindu lifestyle with a daily routine that includes yoga, puja and other satvic (filled with positive energy) activities.
Planned ‘segregation’ and ‘isolation was done on me Since I was living alone, I was defenseless. The mob came and attacked me brutally, while I was sleeping. They exploited my right to life and security. The land encroachers stopped every attempt of me having basic needs such as water, toilet, electricity and even food. The mobs threatened the neighbors and even the water supply company, to prevent supplying water for me. It was a planned segregation and isolation on me.”
The inhuman torture undergone by Sri Nithya Yogaswarupananda is a Gross Violation of United Nations Human Rights Declaration: violation of Right to life, security (Article -3) ‘No torture or inhuman treatment’ (Article -5)
Krishnan was one of the assassins (also encroachers) who had illegally occupied a major portion of the property that was gifted to His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda by a devotee as a mark of her gratitude to her spiritual master. Krishnan had illegally encroached on the property to house his own family, unconstitutionally. To this day, his entire family is illegally living there. Krishnan and his family became henchmen to the larger forces who want to eliminate His Divine Holiness and his Sanyasis. They were employing all means to meet their end.
25 APRIL 2017 - FIRST ATTACK - SANYASI VIOLENTLY BEATEN AND MANHANDLED BY ASSASSINS
“I struggled to remain on the land”- recalled Sri Nithya Yogaswarupananda, Sanyasi (Hindu monk) who had dedicated his life to the service of society. Illegal attacks by assassins set up by heads of Sun Television network and Hindu extremist militant groups, continued to illegally encroach the property and harass it’s rightful owners - the Nithyananda Sangha. One day Krishnan went a step ahead and started vandalising the place, in the name of leveling the ground. He was removing the bushes and cutting down the trees. Startled by the sudden happening, the Sanyasi in-charge of security, demanded an explanation. Krishnan gripped his throat and pushed him out of the property, all the way. Yogaswarupananda struggled to out of his choke-hold, with the throat burning. Helpless, wounded and paralyzed, he called the police for help. They came and stopped the work. They registered his complaint. But no further action happened.
3 MAY 2017 - SECOND ATTACK - PLANNED CHARACTER ASSASSINATION OF HINDU MONKS
Krishnan, an illegal encroacher on the land and who is the henchman of the forces contending for the land, attempted to manipulate ownership of the Trishulam Aadheenam property. Krishnan thrashed the land and created havoc, then destroyed the evidence of his attack on April 28, 2017, and going on vengefully filed a false complaint against Ma Nithya Supriyananda Swami and Sri Nithya Yogaswarupananda - the two Sanyais (Hindu monks) who were on the land at that time.
Krishnan bragged to the police, “Yes, I only took their cell phone and destroyed it to hide the evidence of what my hired henchmen have done. What can you do about it?” The police tried to close the case by telling the Sanyasis that they will give them another cellphone as a compensation. Of what use is it?! It is not that the Sanyasis don't have the means for a cellphone. It is about the evidence and other important data in the phone and arrest of the crime and life threat!
Ma Nithya Supriyananda Swami says, “We were forbidden the right to protection of moral and material interests. All our evidence and communication materials were destroyed and female sanyasis equally attacked.”

5 MAY 2017 – THIRD ATTACK - HINDU SANYASIS PHYSICALLY AND VERBALLY ASSAULTED IN THEIR OWN HOME
Two male and two female Sanyasis were accosted and attacked by a gang of anti-social, anti-spiritual assassins incited with hatred by Hindu extremist militant groups, who caught them off guard while they were walking in their own property, surveying their land for building a low cost hospital and other services. The assassins brutally attacked and abused the Sanyasis. They pulled one of the female sanyasi saree in an effort to humiliate her and insult her sacred vows.
Ma Nithya Supriyananda says, “They not only pushed me to the ground and pulled my clothes, but disgustingly tried to justify this heinous abuse by calling us ‘keeps of Nithyananda,’ implying that we are not chaste devotees, but prostitutes.”
They also manhandled her sister disciple, Ma Nithya Pavitrananda Swami, trying to remove her clothing as well as beating both the male Sanyasis, Sri Nithya Yogaswarupananda and Sri Nithya Yogapriyananda.

Yogapriyananda recalls, “It was also an attack on our sacred sentiment. Beating a man is one thing; in my case, though, they beat me and also ripped my mala, my blessed prayer beads, right off my neck, threw them onto the ground and stomped on them. These beads were gifted to me by Swamiji, so this was truly devastating for me.” The battered Sanyasis filed a police complaint against their attackers, and continued to stay there to serve the villagers, offering spiritual services to the people despite the very real threat against their lives amidst the continuous stream of assaults.
12 MAY 2017 – FOURTH ATTACK - ASSASSINS SPEW LIFE THREATS TO STOP PROGRESS OF HUT REPAIR
On 12 May 2017, the Sanyasis at the Trishulam Aadheenam were taking steps to repair the single hut they were living in, as it was almost collapsing over them, thus rendering it uninhabitable. The Sanyasis had ordered fresh thatch with a devotee who brought it in early morning. The Sanyasis had just finished their morning everyday Guru Puja when they heard some trouble brewing outside the hut. They went out and saw that the thatch roof was brought in a vehicle by devotee Jairam. But in front of the vehicle, two chief instigators and henchmen of the Hindu-extremist forces - former Councilor Anbukumar and his aide Viji - were standing, opposing the redoing of the hut. They attacked the devotee and truck driver threatening to finish them off if they unloaded. They quickly ran up the hill and incited the mob to come down. Soon, there was a crowd of them verbally abusing the Sanyasis. Soon, just through bickering and hurling of vulgar words, a sort of a programmed confusion was put in place by the instigating elements. The Sanyasis filed an official police complaint for the atrocity. Following are photographs of the instigating elements slowly growing a crowd around them




Ma Nithya Bhaktiananda Swami recalls: They were shouting words such as: stupids, bitch, prostitute, rascal, scoundrel dogs, etc in an explicit way. Specifically Ma Nithya
Supriyananda, was abused by Viji using her backward community and caste names. They were hurling murder threats. They were taking videos, photos, harassing us in a derogatory manner. They attacked the contractor and the vehicle that had brought the items for relaying the hut. They abused and used vulgar words to the female Sanyasis who were near me. The place where we are staying now is like forest with overgrown trees and with lots of snakes and life-threatening poisonous creatures. It is an emergency and immediate action required to clean the place and provide basic facilities to live. But they are not allowing us to fulfill our basic needs which is life threatening. I request you to take immediate action to save my life.”
16 JUNE 2017 – FIFTH ATTACK - MOB LYNCHING ON SANYASIS
A huge planned genocide was executed on the night of 16th, to destroy lives, property and any trace of the Aadheenam. The Sanyasis had hired three JCB operators to level the land. The henchmen of the Hindu extremist groups, rounded up the three JCB operators and thrashed them physically with sharp weapons, iron rods and rock-stones. Their JCB machines were completely smashed. Then, hundreds of attackers directly started attacking the Sanyasis with sharp weapons and rock-stones. The Sanyasis who were on the path of ahimsa (non-violence), tried to save their lives by reaching the nearest residential unit and locking the doors. The stones and rods kept landing relentlessly like missiles. It was a huge planned massacre. Ruthlessly, the infrastructure and the living units of the Sanyasis were beaten and broken.

Ma Nithya Supriyananda shares: “I was hearing the sound of the stones landing long after the attack stopped. I was hearing it the whole night. I could not sleep for even a minute. What if they attacked us when we were sleeping....” The Sanyasis filed a police complaint. Most painfully, no action was taken. Why such blatant insensitivity towards the innocent and vulnerable Sanyasis? Who was the Police ‘working with’ to ignore such a major life attack? 17th June 2017 passed on quietly. Meanwhile, devotees rushed to the spot after hearing about the attack, and started restoring the vandalized place and property to the best of their ability.

18 JUNE 2017 – SIXTH ATTACK – BRUTAL DAYLIGHT LIFE-ATTACK ON SANYASIS
The relentless persecution on the Sanyasis continued on the 18th, this time in broad daylight. Many sanyasis could have died, with attempt to murder and rape in broad daylight. The reason for the second attack was the heartless INACTION of the police for the complaint filed for the previous mass-attack. Senior Sanyasi Ma Bhaktiananda recalls, “We begged the Inspector to take action against the attackers. We could not sleep in the nights thinking that they might attack us at any time. The
inspector asked us: 'Has someone died that we need to take action? Relax. It is not required.' We were shocked! So, only if there is a death, the police will take notice and enforce action! On 18th June 2017, in broad daylight at around 10.30 am, around 150 of the assassin group entered the living areas of the Sanyasis, hurling heavy boulder stones at high speed and directly at the Sanyasis who were by now running for their lives to protect themselves in the nearest shelter. The attack lasted for over an hour till the police arrived. The attackers used metal rods, wooden rods, other sharp objects, stones and anything they got in their hands to attack. Life and Property attacked ruthlessly
- Several Sanyasis saw bloodshed but had to remain hidden where they were lest their very life would be taken away by the attackers.
- Two cars were smashed down and overturned
- Two mobile rathas - temple vehicles carrying Hindu deities - were smashed down thus directly abusing the Hindu deities they were carrying.
- All the CCTV surveillance cameras were smashed
- Sanyasis' laptops, PCs, printers and mobile phones were destroyed.
- All the doors and windows were broken
- Several large water tanks were torn and punctured
- Furniture was broken.
- Electrical fittings and plumbing connections were broken
- The cooked food was overturned to the ground. and much more... And a peak atrocity done to the Sanyasis amidst the brutal attack was: the attackers connived with the police and filed a false complaint against Sri Nithya Yogaswarupananda, a male Sanyasi claiming he indulged in eve-teasing of a lady from the attackers side. The Sanyasis were shocked with disbelief at the false complaint. Helplessly, everyone stood, watching their own innocent Sanyasi being taken away by the Police, even though he was the one who was being violently attacked. The Sanyasis filed a police complaint against the attackers. This time, the police could not but take action because the threat and damage were irrefutable.
