The Saga of persecution related to Thondaimandala Aadheenam🔗

A Profile of Raja T. Vijaykumar: Conspirator against Paramahamsa Nithyananda in Thondaimandala Aadheenam

Raja T.Vijaykumar was a member of the Seikizhar Kalvi Panpattu Kazhagam, an organisation that is involved in the Thondaimandala Aadheenam administration. He had aspirations to grab the political power that comes with being the head of the ancient spiritual order of Thondaimandala Aadheenam, and also lusted after the financial benefits that come with it. When he launched the conspiracy to take control of the Aadheenam, many of his scams and internal politics were exposed. His entire persecution of this Aadheenam was masterminded by Kalyanaraman Rangaswamy, who spearheaded the entire media attack against Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Raja Vijaykumar committed several crimes against the Thondaimandalam Aadheenam, including cheating and embezzling money from the mutt. In one such instance, he illegally leased out one of the properties of the Aadheenam without the knowledge of the 232nd pontiff, collecting a lease of 7 lakh rupees which he used for his personal benefit. For this, the 232rd Pontiff (Guru Mahasannidhanam) lodged a police complaint against him.

Raja’s dread for His Divine Holiness

The 232rd pontiff was aging and when Paramahamsa Nithyananda was named the 233rd pontiff of the Aadheenam, this threatened Raja’s criminal conspiracies. Being much younger and with a growing organization Raja clearly saw that His Divine Holiness had the administrative capacity to run the Aadheenam successfully.

Following is a timeline of Raja’s conspiracy against Paramahamsa Nithyananda:

Open discussion to eliminate His Divine Holiness

26th June, 2017 – Raja gathered a group of individuals to pose as representatives of other mutts at the Thondaimandala Aadheenam and started a discussion on how to remove Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s disciples from the mutt. A few days later, Raja Vijaykumar came to the mutt (monastery) and met with Sannidhanam. He told him not to make use of any of the support given by Paramahamsa Nithyananda and instead use all the facilities arranged by Raja himself. Calling his men over and shouting, he openly threatened Paramahamsa Nithyananda disciples to move out of the Aadheenam immediately, warning them that if they didn’t leave, that he would have them killed.

A false letter On 2 July 2017, he sent a letter through a representative of Hindu Makkal Katchi (a Hindu Nationalist party) threatening Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s devotees; claiming they were engaging in illegal activities and to vacate the mutt immediately, failing which, they would be killed. Later Raja Vijay kumar met Sannidhanam and handed a copy of a 6-page letter which included a fake court order to remove Sannidhanam from the mutt. The letter falsely stated that: • Paramahamsa Nithyananda was encroaching on the mutt. • Paramahamsa Nithyananda was planning to keep one of his devotees as a successor, after Sannidhanam. • The Sannidhanam was planning to escape to Bengaluru. • Urging the community members to come and rescue the mutt from Paramahamsa Nithyananda and Sannidhanam

Sannidhanam clarifies the created confusion: All the above mentioned statements were fabricated to create chaos in the community-• Sannidhanam himself expressed to the media and the Police officials, that His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda and his disciples were at the mutt only to take care of him. • He stated, no one can decide the successor of the mutt other than himself.

Raja’s rumour about Sannidhanam being kidnapped by His Divine Holiness: On 20 July 2017, Sannidhanam went to Bengaluru while his brother was being healed by Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Raja Vijaykumar came to the mutt during his absence and created more trouble. He started spreading the rumor that Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s devotees had kidnapped Sannidhanam. On the same day, he threatened the devotees of Paramahamsa Nithyananda saying that the mutt belongs to him (Raja). He said that he was the one who introduced the Sannidhanam to this mutt and only he had the authority and right to appoint the next Sannidhanam! When he toured the South of Tamil Nadu, he himself posed as the Ilaya Sannidhanam (junior pontiff) of the mutt and posted about it on platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook.

Sannidhanam’s reply through a media interview:

While in Bengaluru Aadheenam, Sannidhanam gave a statement assuring the public that he was not kidnapped and there on his own free will. Very often he would frequently visit Bengaluru Aadheenam and this is one such occasion.

Mis-propaganda, dehumanization, character assassination

On 25 July 2017, Raja informed all the local media and the police that the Sannidhanam had been kidnapped by Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s devotees. Based on his rumors, all the media and police personnel visited the mutt and interviewed Sannidhanam.

On 26 July 2017 all the local media people published abusive articles against Paramahamsa Nithyananda and Sannidhanam. This publicly lead to a character assassination, dehumanization and discrimination of His Divine Holiness.

Calling the local community together on July 30th, 2017 he created programmed confusion, desiring a scenario of mob lynching. Raja came to the mutt bringing a group of local politicians and media persons. He created a false scene that Sannidhanam had been kidnapped, by showing the locked gate of the mutt. In actuality the mutt was locked for its safety, as Sannidhanam was out of station.

On the same day he gave complaints to the police, HR & CE (Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department) office's mentioning that Sannidhanam had been kidnapped.

On 31 July 2017 the HR, CE and police personnel visited the mutt inquiring on the whereabouts of Sannidhanam. They spoke to the Sannidhanam over the phone and confirmed his safety. He informed them that he had not been kidnapped by Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s devotees. Stating he went as a guest speaker to participate in a program. Raja continuously tried to undermine both Sannidhanam and Paramahamsa Nithyananda to take over the organization but instead miserably failed at every attempt.

Raja indulges in unwarranted protests

On 4th and 7th Aug 2017 Raja conducted two protests publicly against Sannidhanam and Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Using his absence to justify the necessity for Raja to take control of the mutt, he goes on a tour of South Tamil Nadu. Trying to gain the support from community members, and other Aadheenams like Dharmapuri Aadheenam, Thirupananthal Aadheenam and Thiruvaduthurai Aadheenam.

An abrupt end to Raja’s spiteful campaign Efforts on for eliminating His Divine Holiness On 20 Aug 2017, Raja conducted a meeting in Chidambaram, Tamilnadu, and finalized a decision to form a new advisory committee to remove the existing Sannidhanam and appoint a new Sannidhanam for the mutt. Raja Vijaykumar’s attempts to extort money and power from the rightful hands of Paramahamsa Nithyananda and his disciples failed severely when he experienced a sudden heart attack on 27th Sept, 2017 and passed away. These continuous attempts by Raja Vijaykumar against His Divine Holiness leading to character assassination, dehumanization and discrimination are a direct violation of the UN Human Rights articles 3, 12 & 18.

2 July 2017 - Assault and Death Threats to Disciples of Paramahamsa Nithyananda in Kanchipuram

2 July 2017 The Hindu extremists and conspirators in the name of promoting Hinduism in the society come up with various cunning strategies like “segregation and isolation” and “exploiting weakness”. This is done to take over the old Hindu mutts (monasteries), replace the pontiff with a member belonging to its own party to take over the property for its own illegal purposes.

Sri KP Gnanamoorthy, a disciple of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, was brutally beaten and nearly killed by a Hindu organization called Hindu Makkal Katchi. Those members also threatened to rape his wife and murder the elderly pontiff of Thondaimandala Aadheenam, who was under his care. Their original cunning intention to take the life of Paramahamsa Nithyananda failed miserably since he was not on the premises at the time. Upon realizing this, they then resorted to threatening his disciples.

Hindu Makkal Katchi (HMK), a Hindu organization in Tamil Nadu, misled and funded by Raja Vijaykumar (single conspirator in the atrocities against Thondaimandala Aadheenam) continuously spreading false news about Paramahamsa Nithyananda, launched several attacks on His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda after the release of the fake and morphed video against Paramahamsa Nithyananda in 2010. For several years, HMK continued its repeated abuse against Paramahamsa Nithyananda and his thousands of disciples in their various Aadheenams (temple-monastery complexes).

Disciples and Sanyasis of Paramahamsa Nithyananda were immediately sent and were residing in the Aadheenam since 2005. Supporting the elderly pontiff by taking care of his health, maintaining the grounds and expanding the activities of the Aadheenam.

Sri KP Gnanamoorthy and his family have been residing at Thondaimandala Aadheenam since 2015. Under the direct guidance of Paramahamsa Nithyananda they have been both running the Aadheenam and maintaining its ancient traditions. On the 5th of July, 2017, Sri KP Gnanamoorthy filed a complaint against the Hindu Makkal Katchi organization in response to a letter that the family received. The threatening letter demanded that the Sannidanam, his assistants and disciples of His Divine Holiness vacate the premises of the aadheenam immediately or else face their brutal deaths. In doing so, disciples of His Divine Holiness are denied security and privacy. (Violation of Basic Human Rights declared by the UN – Article 3, 12.)

Police does not take any action “Despite the complaint being filed and such a gross violation of a woman’s rights, the violence inflicted upon this loyal and devoted family, justice was not delivered. For the umpteenth time, Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s life was in mortal danger, and by proxy, his disciples’ lives as well. The seriousness of this attempt was not given its due diligence by the authorities. The CSR (mere police acknowledgement to the complaint) remained as it was, no FIR (First Information Report that converts the complaint into a case that will be investigated.) was registered by the police and no action was taken against HMK. HMK’s political clout in the area protected them from any consequences.

From,

To,

Respected Sir,

I am Sri K.P. Gnanamurthy S/O K.N.Palani Mudaliyar, residing at Thondai Mandala aadheenam Kanchipuram.I am the power of attorney sreekaryam of Thondai Mandala aadhenam sannidhanam. I have been a long standing disciple of the 232nd Guru MahaSannidhanam Sri La Sri Thiruvambala Desika Gnanaprakasa Swamigal, the Madathipathy of Thondaimandala Adheenam, Kancheepuram, MeikandarPeedam and having Headquarters at 57, V.C.Paramasivam street , PeriyaKancheepuram, kancheepuram-631502. I need to register a complaint reporting some serious threats that Sannidhanam and I have received:

Sannidhanam has received threats including a letter from Hindu Makkal Katchi Kanchipuram head Mr. Rajesh, threatening him with serious consequences if he does not evict me and other disciples from here.

I hail from Thondai Mandala Saiva Vellalar community, and am a long time initiated disciple of Thondaimandala Adheenam of Kancheepuram. There are other co-disciples of mine who on the request of sannidhanam have been serving at Thondaimandala aadheenam since over 15 years as they offer their spiritual services here, namely Sri Nithya Pranananda, Sri Nithya Ambananda, Sri Nithya Raajaananda, Sri Nithya Hamsananda, Sri Nithyasthananda, among others. Sri Nithyananda swami himself has been associated with the Thondaimandala Aadheenam since 2001 as evidenced by photographs and videograph records.

Sannidhanam had appointed me as his power of attorney sreekaryam to take care of him and for attending to all legal cases concerning Thondaimandala Adheenam and for taking care and doing administration of the properties of Thondaimandala Adheenam.

Yesterday on 2 July 2017, a Hindu Makkal Katchi person came with a letter (attached) threatening Sannidhanam and the rest of us. Sannidhanam, my wife Shakila and I were there at the Aadheenam at that time. After that person handed over this threat letter, Shakila and I went out towards the entrance. We saw couple of men outside our Aadheenam premises and we could hear them talking; as Raja Vijaykumar had said and Arjun Sampath of Hindu Makkal Katchi had agreed, there are Nithyananda disciples here, so surely there must be women here, like they did in Chennai we can attack the modesty of these women and evict them. Hearing this my wife was shocked and shaken. We decided to stand and hear more of their plans. We also heard the names of one Sukumaran who in the conversation i heard as being son of one Jagannatha Mudaliar, from Salem and Kumaresan, who was told as son of a Nataraja Mudaliar from Kanchipuram as we heard them talk about the plan to threaten Sannidhanam that he will lose his life if he doesn't agree to paying the money they would extort from him. I could not tolerate this anymore and went out though Shakila advised me against it. The 2 men saw me and realizing I may have overheard their conspiracy and extortion plans, they came menacingly towards me, pushed me physically and started threatening that if I would tell anybody about what they spoke, they will kill both Sannidhanam and me. Shakila got scared for my life and came running out. The 2 men had a dirty laugh and went towards Shakila. Before I could respond, one of the men pulled Shakila's sari and the other touched her on her breasts. We were shocked at this blatant goondaism. The 2 men threatened me again from saying anything to anybody else they said they will rape my wife in front of me. We were shocked and stumped. They threatened and left.

I am indeed very concerned at these threats, and I strongly suspect Mr. Raja Vijaykumar, Arjun Sampath, Sukumaran and Kumaresan to be behind these threats and blatant attacks on me, my wife and threats to Sannidhanam, as I clearly heard these names and the intention with which the HMK person came with the letter and the 2 men who accompanied him had come with.

I want to put on record that of anything happens to me or my co-disciples, Raja Vijaykumar, Sukumaran and Kumaresan and their accomplices are solely responsible. Hence, I strongly request to make this complaint against Hindu Makkal Katchi, Rajesh, Arjun sampath, Raja Vijaykumar, Sukumaran and Kumaresan and do a thorough investigation of the matter and bring all the culprits to book, and seek justice and protection for me and Thondaimandalam Aadheenam

Thanking You

The trauma and pain that Sri KP Gnanamoorthy and his family went through is irreparable. This is the outright proof of the ethnic cleansing, the systematic and forceful extermination of Hindus, happening in this country today, at the hands of those who claim to be concerned with maintaining Hindu Dharma. “The constant harassment of Hindu incarnations such as Paramahamsa Nithyananda, who have committed their lives to reviving the ancient Sanatana Hindu Dharma, is the culmination of thousands of years of invasions and cultural genocide of Sanatana Hindu Dharma.” says Ma Jnanapriyananda, wife of Sri KP Gnanamoorty.

15 July 2017 - Kidnap and Torture: Media Propaganda Creates Hostile Situation in Kanchipuram

15 Jul 2017

Media channels and newspapers in Tamil Nadu created a pandemonium in Kanchipuram by wrongfully accusing His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda of kidnap and torture. Paid media claimed that Paramahamsa Nithyananda and his disciples had kidnapped the Pontiff of the ancient Thondaimandala Aadheenam, with the intention to usurp his property and take over his organization. As a result of these lies, violence and protests followed these fake media reports.

What the media FALSELY REPORTED: Paid media claimed that Paramahamsa Nithyananda and his disciples had kidnapped the Guru Mahasannidhanam (Pontiff )of the ancient Thondaimandala Aadheenam, with the intention to usurp his property and take over his organization ,intentionally programing confusion in people's minds. The TRUTH: Guru Mahasannidhanam (Pontiff) had voluntarily been to Nithyananda Peetham, Bengaluru Aadheenam and was addressing the gathering there when this false news was published! Then the Guru Mahasannidhanam expressed his shock and disbelief at such baseless rumors. He declared that He will continue to stay at Bengaluru Aadheenam until these anti-Hindu forces publicly apologize to him for creating such rumors and baseless allegations relating to Him and his Aadheenam.

CLARIFICATIONS MADE TO ALL THE PRESS REGARDING THE STATEMENT OF THONDAIMANDALA AADHEENAM 232ND GURUMAHASANNIDHAM.

On July 31, 2017 the PR team of Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam sent a Press release to all the Press clarifying about the false news of the kidnap of the Pontiff of Thondaimandala Aadheenam. How is it that the Press never reported or published this clarification anywhere in their media ?

Following is the email evidence and the email photo: 31 July 2017 This is to bring to your attention about the video recording of Sri Thiruvambaladesika Jnanaprakasha Swamigal in today’s (31st July 2017) Nithya Satsang at 8:30 am at Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam Bengaluru Aadheenam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSXqGB8mnzU

In the video, the Guru Mahasannidhanam expresses that he was shocked to witness the unfortunate display of anti-Hindu forces attacking the roots of Hinduism in Thondaimandala Aadheenam at Kancheepuram. Yesterday, The Guru Mahasannidhanam was addressing a public function and was attending to a spiritual publication at Thakkolam near Kancheepuram but certain vested Hindu militant forces created baseless rumors that he has been kidnapped by the disciples of Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

Addressing today’s morning Satsang (discourse), the Guru Mahasannidhanam expressed his shock and disbelief at such baseless rumours. He declared that He will continue to stay at Nithyananda Peetham, Bengaluru Aadheenam till these anti-Hindu forces publicly apologize to him for creating such rumors and baseless allegations relating to Him and His Aadheenam.

The use of such doctored content based on lies, false allegations and hatred is nothing but inciting confusion, paranoia and hostility which creates a division in the community. This directly hits Paramahamsa Nithyananda character and aims to destroys him. There is no organization in place to hold them accountable so unless slapped with court case by the complainant, there is no accountability. These sinister attacks by paid mainstream media conspiring with Hindu extremists militant groups are aiming at breaking the very backbone of Sanatan Hindu Dharma (Hinduism) that is the Guru- Shishya parampara (Guru- Disciple relationship). It is our basic human right to live in freedom and to practice our religion of choice as stated in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, article 18.

29 July 2017 - False propaganda spread by Raja Vijay Kumar - Conspiracy by a group of vested interest parties

It is well-known that in India, ‘mob-lynching’ is a clear strategy to eliminate someone without any particular individual or organisation to blame for it. Hindu terrorist groups, who are looking to destroy all Guru-based traditions, have been long known to use such strategies.

Raja T. Vijaykumar, the chief conspirator in all the Thondaimandala Aadheenam attacks, was instrumental in planning several assassination attempts against His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Paramahamsa Nithyananda had been lawfully named as the next Pontiff of the Aadheenam. He bought into confidence and lied to his associates to gain support and maximize mob strength to create a frenzied mob to lynch and execute His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, and his disciples. He involved all his associates in planning the systematic execution of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, and through that, to usurp the title of the 233rd Guru Maha Sannidhanam of the Thondaimandala Aadheenam. Hence basic rights violated under Article 3,5,12,18 (Declarations by The UN)

This was extensively circulated on Whatsapp, Facebook and other social media: R Vijaykumar and his group; meeting with Dharmapuram Adheenam and influence them by spreading false news about Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

30 July 2017 - Disciples Trapped: Attempt-to-Murder in Thondaimandala Aadheenam

Three disciples of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda were attacked and held hostage in their own home within the Thondaimandala Aadheenam as hired attackers tried to break down their doors with the intent of ending their lives.

It was a morning like any other, except that there was strange activity happening outside. Sri Nithya Pranapriyananda, Ma Nithya Jnanapriyananda, and her brother, N.S. Prabhakaran, heard a strange noise outside the Thondaimandalam Aadheenam. They were taking care of the current Pontiff's health, and supporting him to maintain the property and keep up the religious rituals.
