After months of poisonous defamation by the media mafia on His Divine Holiness, The New Indian Express goes on to ‘incite hatred’, intolerance and ethical discrimination against Hindu Gurus. It categorically declares the intended result: the illegitimization of Sanatana Hindu Dharma and negatively stereotyping the Hindu Spiritual Leaders (Gurus) in Hindu community across the globe.
06 May 2010: A yellow journalist of The New Indian Express writes an article dehumanizing His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. It is not a coincidence to see several atrocious articles against His Divine Holiness come out on The Indian Express. It must be recalled that The Indian Express is not just another newspaper. The Indian Express is one of the main mediums that S. Gurumurthy used to dehumanize and persecute His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Yellow journalist Vasanth Kannabiran uses a perverted lies to incite hatred and justifies the inhumane treatment and human rights violation on Him.
- Media repeatedly peddled the obvious falsehoods – denying the systematic persecution of Hindu Gurus; discarding their spiritual legitimacy to program that they are unworthy of the reverence from the Hindu community.
- This slanderous article weaves several themes to demonize Hinduism and Hindu Gurus.
| Fact | What was written in news article | What it wants reader to believe - faulty generalization |
|---|---|---|
| Lord Hanuman is highly revered deity in Sanatana Hindu Dharma | Lord Hanuman wears underwear | The author justifies it’s atrocious content claiming that because of the fabricated footage of His |
| Lord Ganesha, the worshipped Hindu deity son of Lord Shiva | Lord Ganesha wears pantyhose | Divine Holiness, society will stop respecting Hanuman and Ganesh due to faulty generalization. Therefore treatment of His Divine Holiness worse than a terrorist is justified. |
|---|---|---|
| A fabricated obscene video was made to attack His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda | Vasanth Kannabiran compares His Divine Holiness to terrorist and cricket match fixer. |
In reference to the fake video released on March 2, 2010, the Kannabiran begins the article by questioning, “Why should swamis be forced to be celibate? Were Nithyananda’s human rights to pursue sexual activity with a consenting adult and his right to privacy not being violated?”
The yellow journalist Kannabiran diverts the attention of the reader from noticing Human Rights Violation of His Divine Holiness by torture in prison to claiming that His Divine Nithyananda’s only human rights which was violated was right to have engage sex by consent. It plays down the entire happening and dismisses it as a case of “Ganesha wearing pantyhose.”
Without any hindrance, the author questions the practice and innermost workings of Sanatana Hindu Dharma, the oldest living group of religions on planet Earth. Without any effort to learn and express the correct terminology and science behind the practice, New Indian Express reporter throws misleading doubts against His Divine Holiness and what He stands for.
FACTS
- His Divine Holiness has been a celibate since childhood.
- Celibacy is the vital practice of brahmacharya, which means, "live like God" beyond the hormonal needs.
The author introduces His Divine Holiness as someone who assumes, “the garb of sanyasis (monks) which implies both celibacy and renunciation of worldly values and then proceeds to abuse women”. With these exact vulgar words, the reporter makes drastic generalizations based on completely false claims:
FALSE CLAIMS
- abusing several women and several rape accusers. - citing a fictitious non-existent disclosure agreement that was never signed by His Divine Holiness or any real person dead or alive.
- making false claims that His Divine Holiness evaded taxes - which was a rumor completely fabricated by the media.
Finally, as a take-away from the entire article Kannabiran states, "We need to understand that greed, violence, hate and insecurity that cloud our minds cannot be dispelled by these creatures who sell god as a commodity to be conjured up by a few magic tricks"
- Stating, "He could be a IPL chief or terrorist" they painted His Divine Holiness as a public enemy, thus justifying His third degree torture in prison
- Creating images such as "Hanuman in underwear and Ganesha in pantyhose" to make a point is unnecessary gross abusal.
- Kannabiran thoroughly dehumanizes His Divine Holiness and his hard work for the spiritual and material enrichment of humanity, by diminishing Him as a "creature" and His work as a "magic trick".
FACTS:
- In this subtle and poisonous way, The New Indian Express created destructive faulty generalizations to incite hatred against His Divine Holiness.
- Allowing such abuse and fear-mongering to go unchecked is a violation of constitutional rights.
- No logic or reason comes in the picture. The intolerance this type of media breeds is something to be afraid of.
- This is a clear violation of Article 11 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights under the United Nations - all persons are innocent until proven guilty; to crucify a man publicly without evidence is beyond morally wrong. It is equal to silently accepting a genocide in making. This also violates Articles 2 and 7, which secures that all humans have equal rights under the law, regardless of race, religion or belief.
