Propaganda on Paramahamsa Nithyananda
The prejudicial attitudes of public for His Divine Holiness made his disciples struggle to establish roots of their chosen monastic life in an all encompassing Sanatana Hindu Dharma. Disciples were disparaged by their families and society at large for following the highest path of sannyas. The hate propaganda against Hindu Gurus and subtle attack on Sannyas (Hindu Monkhood) had pernicious and pervasive consequences for the promising youth leaders.
“Suvarna TV poisoned the minds of my family, and turned my own parents against me.”
Sri Shantimayananda Swami, a monastic disciple of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, shares his heart-wrenching story about the misery caused by Kannada news channel, Suvarna TV. By assassinating Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s character, Suvarna TV brainwashed His own disciples to file a case against Him.
Following are the personal accounts of Sri Shantimaya Swami:
My Introduction:
I am Sri Nithya Shantimayananda Swami, a Sanyasi (Hindu monk) of the Nithyananda Order. From year 2009, I am living under the guidance of my Master, His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. I am from a Brahmin family, belonging to Smartha community in Karnataka. I am a graduate and have worked abroad for 6 years. What I went through during the attack, and what I am going through till date, I shall try and express in this article:
In March 2010, the fake video was released. This was done to destroy Paramahamsa Nithyananda and His mission. I continued to live in aadheenam (monastery). I was shaken to my core, but continued my path under my master's guidance. My parents were happy to see me stay supportive of my master (video clips are available). That is how I was brought up by my family. Attacks continued in physical and emotional level via media, assassins, etc. till date.
June 7th 2012, The Media Attack:

Suvarna TV anchor, Ajith Hanumakkanavar, tried to serve a summons in a peaceful press meet called by us at our Bidadi aadheenam. It is an illegal act to serve summons by a media person. I could not understand what was happening. We avoided him going near our Master because we do not know what was hidden in that fat envelope. He created ruckus, brought some thugs, and beat innocent monks. I was shocked and did not know what to do. In the aadheenam (monastery), we lived a peaceful life meditating, serving people, healing people, taking care of the temple, etc. It was a cultural shock. I had never experienced this in my life before and had never even thought about media this way. I always thought media meant a sincere people working for welfare of society. I expected them to be polished, educated, well mannered.

June 10th 2012:
“I lost my parents......Suvarna TV is responsible for all this. Suvarna TV had abused me, tortured me, and destroyed 10 years of my life” says the victim of media crime, Sri Shantimaya Swami
“Suvarna TV brings my innocent father to their studio and poisons his innocent inner space since he was uneducated. They forced him to put a Habeas Corpus petition on my Guru saying, I am kept in ashram by force against my will. Suvarna TV is only responsible for his pain. They destroyed our life for their personal gain. They destroyed my happy relationship between my father and me. They destroyed his faith on Gurus, religion, Gods, and spiritual path. I lost my father, my loving mother, and all my relatives. How much I loved them for 35 years of my life! I do not know when I will get them back and how they are. This damage cannot be repaired. Day and night I pray for their happiness. I want them to be healthy and happy. They made my strong mother cry in the media and made her not to talk to me. They destroyed my loving relationship with my sister also. They changed my relatives’ mind. They built a big wall between us. In last 10 years of attack, only once I went home -- that is for my grandmother's funeral. Even during the funeral, my parents did not talk to me.
This was not how I grew up. My parents took care of me so much. I was the most pampered in my whole family. I know now my parents will suffer physically and emotionally with the torture they are being put through. Suvarna TV is responsible for all this. I know my parents are in deep pain, lost their health, wealth, and everything. Why did they have to make my parents cry in their tv channel for so many days? And repeatedly show the same thing again and again. This shocked me. I went into depression. They used my family as an emotional puppet for their personal gains. I was shattered to see my father crying on TV. He was like a tiger all his life till this Suvarna TV came into our life.
It was such a sickening experience to go through for both me and my parents. I had to take the help of a psychiatrist to settle down.
Suvarna TV abused me, tortured me, and destroyed 10 years of my life. Even now, it still haunts me in the back of my head. Because of constant compassion and care of my Guru, I am surviving and trying to stand up. I am still waiting to get justice for my life, my family, and my Master.
I do not know if it will happen in this lifetime.”
~ Sri Nithya Shantimayananda Swami
This brutal attack against Paramahamsa Nithyananda and His disciples by Suvarna TV is a direct violation of Article 12 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights which protects a person from attacks upon his honour and reputation.
