The Enraging “Cultural Genocide”
This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.
The cultural cleansing of the temple based heritage and community represents an affront to the human rights of the affected minority population of ‘Adi Shaiva’ disciples, their ethnic and religious identities. In addition, the illicit trafficking of cultural properties was being used to finance criminal activities and generate income for Hindi militant terrorist groups.
These local Hindu extremist militant groups remained dormant as long as their supremacy was sustained and un-revolted by the Pontiffs of the Aadheenams. They continue running their ‘extremist’ empire, unseen from the public eye pressurizing the spiritual leaders.
Swami Atmananda requests financial aid to run his college
Swami Atmananda requested Paramahamsa Nithyananda for financial aid on 22 November 2013 to run the Sri Sarada Niketan Ladies Arts & Science College (http://www.ssnc.org.in/) in Salem and Karaikudi and also wanted Him to be a lifetime trustee in the College. Paramahamsa Nithyananda agreed to give the financial aid and transferred over 4 crores (Rs. 4,00,00,000 which is more than half a million US $) from His organizations’ trusts, only for the construction as well as everyday food expenses for Sarada Devi Niketan Arts & Science Colleges at Salem and Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu. )
The MURDEROUS ATTACKS at Four Mutt on Sanyasis and devotees
of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda
As Swami Atmananda was being pressurized by Hindu extremist forces, he was forced to silently cooperate with them and turned hostile towards His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
He first asked the Sanyasis (monks) to get out of the Sarada college campus. The only Sanyasi who persisted to continue staying there was poisoned through food and forced to move. Then, Swami Atmananda sent his aide named Jnaneshwar to all the four mutts to ruthlessly and
persistently attack the Sanyasis and devotees, till they would move out fearing for their life. These dedicated monks and disciples were beaten to near-death, and the mutts were thrashed and mutilated, the temple traditions and humanitarian activities being revived were inhumanly aborted.
The police and revenue officials formed nexus with the local hindu extremists to execute the attacks and the cultural cleaning. In the following days, the Sanyasis and devotees had to endure the worst of attacks at multiple locations. These blood-chilling incidents will forever speak of the dedication of His Divine Holiness, and the courage of His Hindu monks to withstand the grassroots negativity in preserving Sanatana Hindu Dharma and its traditions. Following is a brief summary of the various attacks: POISONING ATTEMPT - Sri Achalananda, Sanyasi of the Nithyananda Order was the only one left in the Sarada College, Salem. His brother and sister Sanyasis had left. Jnaneshwar, Swami Atmananda's aide added poisonous substances such as worms in Sri Achalananda's food. After persistent and severe stomach pain, Sri Achalananda discovered the poisoning attempt and left the place immediately.
Heritage Mutt (Monastery) 1: Sri Somanatha Swamigal Mutt and Temple, Tiruvarur, South India
a. 23 OCT 2015, FIRST LIFE ATTACK - ASSASSIN WIELDS KNIFE AT MONK’S THROAT - One grassroot Hindu extremist, an auditor named Dhanasekar, his son Chinnathambi, who was illegally using the temple property for his personal utility, barged in with few assassins. They abused the monk Sri Achalananda, with hate speech, calling him a “Monk Dog!” and threw a life-threat on him, wielding a knife at his throat, “If you are here beyond today, you will die. Run away from here, or else we will kill you. You will see your own blood. We will pull out your intestine!”
Achalananda had only legal recourse to take. As a Sanyasi he was on the path of non-violence (ahimsa). He immediately filed a police complaint against the attackers and continued the services with more dedication.
b. 28 Oct 2015 - SECOND LIFE ATTACK – FEMALE MONK PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED - Ma Nithya Jyotikananda Swami, a young female Sanyasi in her 30’s was attacked by Dilipan, a 35-year old extremist individual, aided by DMK party Councillor Shankar. When she tried to stop him from taking pictures of the female monks, he caught her hand and dragged her all the way to the temple entrance, and pushed her to the ground and tried to stamp her. He then hurled life threats at everyone and said nothing can stop him from killing them. The peak atrocity was, the local police completely dismissed her complaint but accepted a false complaint filed by Dilipan - her attacker - that too telephonically! She had to run from the office of the Superintendent of Police to that of the Deputy Superintendent of Police, before a simple complaint was filed. She still awaits justice.
c. 26 NOV 2015 - THIRD ATTACK - ATTEMPT TO MURDER SANYASI AND VOLUNTEER - The Sanyasis came as a hindrance to the locals who were in agreement with Swami Atmananda to use the temple property illegally. One such local - Auditor Selvaraj and his family, came with his son, wife Kalaichelvi, the temple priest - Ramamurthy and a few unknown men. They abused, beat and screamed murder threats to Sri Nithya Achalananda verbally, "If you continue to stay here, I will murder you." They then chased him of the mutt and beat them heavily on the head with iron rods.
d. 27 DEC 2015 - FOURTH ATTACK - A DISCIPLE ALMOST LOSES AN EYE - On December 23, 2015, Kalaichelvi, wife of Selvaraj, entered the Tiruvarur Temple complex, along with several other unsavory ladies, claiming that they have rights to the temple and its properties. When Rishi Nithya Shambhavananda non-violently tried to stop them from entering the temple as they did not have permission under the prevalent hostile circumstances, Kalaichelvi spat on his face, beat him with a weapon and threatened to “kill him”.
On 27 Dec 2015, one Prabakharan, a known assassin along with 6 of his accomplices attacked. When Rishi Nithya Shambhavananda enquired about the trespassing on temple property, Prabakharan reacted by sucker-punching hitting Rishi Nithya Shambhavananda in the face with a metal rod between his fingers, with the words, “Die you DOG with this!” Shambava’s eyes bled profusely and went blank. Prabhakar beat him further. The other assassins swung an iron rod straight on volunteer Vijay’s head and hit him. Vijay shouted in pain and fell unconscious. Shambhava, with his entire face and upper body dripping with blood, took Vijay to the nearest government hospital and both of them got themselves admitted. He almost went blind with his injured eye and the doctors had to administer sutures, just millimeters away from the eye.
The murderer Prabhakar got himself admitted in the same hospital in the name of being beaten by Rishi Shambhavananda and continued to threaten him even in the hospital! A police complaint has been registered for the inhuman life attack.
Heritage Mutt (Monastery) 2: Sri Palsamy Mutt, Thanjavur and Sri
Sankara Swami Mutt, Thanjavur
e. 7 JAN 2015 - FIRST ATTACK - ON A SINGLE SANYASI - Sri Nithyasthananda, the Sanyasi at the mutt refused to move when told to vacate the place. Swami Atmananda sent a mob of 20 assassins armed with iron rods, wooden rods and iron chains. They beat him brutally till he collapsed. They then dragged him out of the mutt, left him helpless bleeding, and left. Nithyasthananda, with his head bleeding, pulled himself together and went on his own to the hospital. He also filed a police complaint.
f. 24 NOV 2015 - SECOND ATTACK - FEMALE SANYASI FAINTS NOTWITHSTANDING THE BRUTAL ATTACK - Ma Nithya Preetananda, a female Sanyasi and victim of the witchful second attack in the Tanjore mutt, recalls, “They called us prostitutes. They jumped on me and started pulling my hands. Two or three people had their face covered and tried to attack us using sharp weapons. One voice said, ‘I have done so many crimes. I don’t mind doing one more, even if it means doing it in front of many people. She is so fair and nice! I will have physical relationship with her in front of these people; I don’t care!’ Hearing this, my whole body started shivering. I fell down on the floor and fainted. I was not only unconscious, my breathing itself stopped. My sister Swamis were terrified. They were trying to give first aid to retrieve my breathing, and I was still on the floor. To their utmost shock, one man screamed to another man saying, ‘Dei, they are acting! Go and lie on top of her! We will then come to know whether she is acting or really fainted. Anyways, she is looking beautiful.’ Saying this, they came near me in spite of everyone there. One woman police officer held me on the other side and helped to carry me towards the vehicle to take me to the hospital. I got admitted in a Government Hospital and got conscious after a few hours. Even there, the assassins came searching for me! I discontinued the hospital treatment to protect my life. All this happened in front of the media. But none of them presented the actual attack. Instead, they portrayed my sisters and me as instigators, and sided with the assassins who tried to rape and kill us.”
Heritage Mutt (Monastery) 3: Sri Arunachala Gnandesikar Swami Temple & Mutt in Vedaranyam
g. 30 OCTOBER 2015 - FIRST ATTACK - MALE AND FEMALE SANYASIS (MONKS) ABUSED AND KICKED OUT OF THE MUTT Swami Atmananda's aide Jnaneshwar, came with an assassin mob and started abusing the male and female Sanyasis alike. They then broke all the temple property and items in the mutt, symbolically showing that the Sanyasis and their spiritual leader, His Divine Holiness will be destroyed. Finally, they physically assaulted the whole group of Sanyasis out of the mutt, and locked it, threatening to kill them if they returned.
h. 27 NOVEMBER 2015 – SECOND NEAR-FATAL ATTACK ON TWO SANYASIS
- Two Sanyasis, Sri Nithya Yogamayananda and Sri Nithya Jnanaprabhananda were attacked by a group of 10-15 assassins, who entered and looked around taking stock of the people and temple property. Soon, 50 people barged in and started beating and breaking all the things. They used iron rods and beat up the Sanyasis. The main leads of the attack were Shivanandam and Rajashekar. They lifted the heavy furniture, vessels and smashed them on their heads and body. When one of them smashed a vessel on Yogamayananda's head, he almost fainted but held on. They then dragged both of them onto the road. A huge mob gathered around and watched the gory scene. A few of them realised that Yogamayananda was recording the happenings and went behind Yogamayananda's life. They chased him for more than a kilometer and gave up. Another monk, Jnanaprabhananda who had fainted in the attack, recovered and admitted himself in the government hospital and gave a police complaint describing the life attack. But as always, even after escaping from death, the complaint fell on deaf ears. Only after much persistence, the police would even receive the complaint. i. THIRD ATTACK - POLICE TURN CRIMINAL, BEAT UP TWO SANYASIS - Jnaneshwar, the assistant and aide of Atmananda brought the local police and Tahsildar (local revenue officer), none of whom was interested in the righteous running of the mutts, and beat up the Sanyasis - Sri Nithya Yogamayananda, Sri Nithya Shuddhananda and Sri Nithya Nirvikalpananda in the most atrocious and shameful happening ever. They then locked the mutt and gave the keys to the Tahsildar - A blatantly illegal act, when the rightful owners are the Sanyasis of the Nithyananda Order. They had brought the media with them. The media covered the incident reporting that the Nithyananda Order Sanyasis had locked the mutt and the Tahsildar had come to investigate the matter! A blatant lie. j. 1 MAR 2016 - FOURTH INHUMAN LIFE-ATTACK ON SANYASIS - Two male Sanyasis, Sri Nithya Yogamayananda and Sri Nithyansthananda and two devotees Sri Swarupananda and Kumaresan were in the mutt, when a mob of 100 assassins led by Jnaneshwar, aide of Atmananda, entered the mutt and started disconnecting the CCTV cameras and its connections. The Police were also present! The attackers stole all the items including the personal items of the Sanyasis such as the saffron robes. The mutt was emptied. The police then beat up Nithyasthananda and the assassins mass-attacked all four of them with crude weapons. BRUTAL ETHNIC CLEANSING: They then dragged the four of them onto the road like dogs, pulling the Sanyasis by their ‘sacred’ small tuft of hair (worn as the brahmacharya monk tradition). They stripped the clothes off the Sanyasis, cut their sacred rudraksha rosaries, snapped their sacred white thread (poonal), broke their phones and smashed the spectacles on the very eyes of Swarupananda. As usual, they brought the media with them. The media mafia covered the incident with fabricated lies, inciting mob violence, and the police managed to retrieve the mutt from the hands of the Sanyasis of the Nithyananda Order and illicitly give it back to Jnaneshwar / Atmananda! The Tahsildar - the local revenue officer joined hands with the murderers by blatantly lying that the mutt belongs to Swami Atmananda.
k. 4 AUG 2017 – FIFTH ATTACK – ON THE ROAD – Sri Nithya Tejomayananda, a senior Sanyasi recalls the attack, “We were traveling towards the Vedaranyam mutt in a car: Sri Nithya Tejomayananda (myself), Sri Nithya Sadashivamayananda and Sri Nithya Paratattvananda. Five men in two bikes overtook our car and blocked the road. They threw huge stones at our car. They opened the doors, grabbed Sri Nithya Sadashivamayananda and gave deathly blows on the face, neck, lower abdomen and back. I (Sri Nithya Tejomayananda Swami) stepped out of the vehicle to stop them. They punched me on my head. I hit my head on the vehicle, lost balance and fell down. One of them named Selvaraj (auditor Selvaraj who had attacked our Sanyasis in the other mutt) hurled a threat at us, ‘We will destroy all of you’. They also threatened us not to be present at the peace meeting convened by the revenue officials on August 5, and not to mess with Jnaneshwarananda and Swami Atmananda. They took away our car keys leaving us stranded in the middle of nowhere at midnight! We somehow managed to admit ourselves at a Government hospital and underwent an MRI scan and treatment for the injuries.”
Heritage Mutt (Monastery) 4: Sri Po.Ka. Sadhukkal Mutt, Panchanathikulam
I. 30 OCT 2015 - FIRST ATTACK - LONE SANYASI BEATEN TO NEAR-DEATH - Sri Nithya Yogamayananda was taking care of the socio-spiritual services when one day, suddenly, led by Jnaneshwar, aide of Swami Atmananda, a mob of 20 assassins entered, and started telling him that there was no need for him to stay there and that they would take care of the temple. They were a group of people enjoying the temple property illegally. Kandaswamy Thevar had his whole Casuarina tree grove in the temple property! They physically assaulted Yogamayananda using all the sharp objects as weapons. They dragged him to the road like a dog and beat him there also.
Despite the Court Orders, the persecution continues
When the life-attacks by Atmananda and his aide Jnaneshwar increased, His Divine Holiness took legal recourse by getting an injunction order restraining them from entering or interfering with the mutt activities. Completely ignoring the court order, Atmananda and Jnaneshwar continued the ruthless attacks.
