THE BIG LIES PROPAGANDA
TV9 used the ‘Big Lie’ propaganda technique. A big lie (German: große Lüge) is a propaganda technique. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, in his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously" and so abusive that by very action of defending the victim makes a ridicule of himself.
Following is the list of some of atrocity and defamatory content published by the TV9 channel. Few of the defamatory videos have been cited here and refuted with actual facts, to share with the candid reader, the extremity of big lies aired incessantly to defame and character assassinate His Divine Holiness.
25 March 2010 - Nithyananda Sakkath Famous (Nithyananda is very famous)
ABUSE, DEFAMATION, BLATANT LIES in video:
- Person dressed as Paramahamsa Nithyananda, mocking him, at TTL College, Saraswathipuram. He mocks Paramahamsa Nithyananda by pretending to smoke, kissing foreign women, and pretending to bring alive a dead man.
FACT:
- This is an example of the mockery and abuse shows the TV featured. It is defamation at its worst. This, along with thousand such comedy shows, were aired to tune the public into having a cheap and sleazy image of Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
30 March 2010 - Nithya Satya (Truth of Nithya)
ABUSE, DEFAMATION, BIG LIES in video:
- Executing the instructions of S Gurumurthy, TV9 claimed that His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda has left all his positions at Dhyanapeetam and its trust. It was a cunning conspiracy of Gurumurthy which never crystalized.
- Complaint by Douglas Mckallor in America where he cheated many devotees financially. Douglas was appointed to guard the room when Paramahamsa Nithyananda was inside with a woman.
- Rajiv Malhotra sent TV9 an email with details of Nithyananda case - how he should resign position at Dhyanapeetam, how the CD exposing him went to Karnataka politicians before media, advice from Rajiv malhotra to resign all positions, and also to give all property to Hindu religious heads, not government.
FACT:
- It has been proven multiple times that Douglas McKallor is a narcissist and cyberbully, a mentally unstable and abusive criminal. By quoting his words and by showing him to be a key witness in this case, it is only obvious that TV9 is working with the Extremist Hindu Militant Groups to incite public hate and character assassinate him.
30 March 2010 - Nithya Satya
ABUSE, DEFAMATION, BIG LIES in video:
- TV9 mocked and demeaned the sanyas monk tradition - questioning the credibility of the "kaavi" (orange robe worn by a Hindu monk) by His Divine Holiness. TV9 questioned the validity of sannyas initiation, asking for a proof that initiation into sannyas was really done by a Guru.
- TV9 alleged that books published by "Nithyananda University Press" were written by someone called Valampuri John, and not based on discourses given by His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
- TV9 went to the ridiculous extent of alleging that Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s Autobiography was also written by a third party like Valampuri John, for which Valampuri John was refused payment.
- One of the TV show panelist claims he wanted to donate land to the Dhyanapeetam Trust, but he was unable to donate the land because he did not want the sole authority of the land to be Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
FACT:
- Paramahamsa Nithyananda belongs to a clear unbroken lineage of reincarnations of MahaSadashiva (primordial Hindu divinity) from Tiruvannamalai, South India with a sanyas Initiation (monk) from His Guru Sri Arunagiri Yogishwara (Sadashiva’s incarnation) at the age of 10.
- Valampuri John was a devotee who came for healing to His Divine Holiness. He did not write any book for Him, and it is impossible to imagine him of writing anything as it would have required extensive knowledge of Sanskrit. Nithyananda University Press, the publications team of His Divine Holiness has been working in the Aadheenam for more than 15 years, transcribing and compiling the sacred words of His Divine Holiness and over 300 books been personally edited by His Divine Holiness. No one can write His books.
- The claims made by the panelist regarding land donation are completely false. Paid or instigated people or actors were brought in the show with no credibility to just make false allegations to manipulate negatively people’s opinions and tarnish the repute.
05 May 2010 - Neevu Hellidu, Naavu Kellidu (You Tell, I will Hear)
ABUSE, DEFAMATION, BIG LIES in video:
- As bizarre as it may seem, Ravi Prakash used TV9 for making some of the world’s most absurd erotic news stories. Ravi Prakash in his erotic news program claimed that actress Ranjitha was desired by every 10th standard school goer. He claimed that His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda was one of them who had embarked to becoming a Swami only to fulfill the dream every 10th standard school child had according to Ravi Prakash.
- Ravi Prakash expressed his joy that now His Divine Holiness was isolated in a jail, with no devotees around, but only mosquitoes and bed bugs.
FACT:
- Anyone reading the statements made in this absurd, preposterous video can testify that is FALSE - there is no basis, no logic and no intelligence to the truly sadistic accusation being made here.
23 March 2012 - ‘Namo Nithya Namo...”
ABUSE, DEFAMATION, BIG LIES spread by Ravi Prakash through this video on TV9:
- Attacking devotees of His Divine Holiness, Ravi Prakash claimed that devotees had tantric sex with Him.
- Ravi Prakash also claimed that female devotees engaged in oral sex.
- Ravi Prakash claimed that female devotees were sexually harassed.
- Ravi Prakash alleged that CID has submitted additional charge sheet with new witness statements.
- Ravi Prakash alleged that a young boy from Mumbai has come forward and claimed to have had homosexual relationship with Him.
- Ravi Prakash through TV9 openly proclaimed to have procured sexual conversations. It was a cunning way of saying that TV9 had manufactured erotic content to dehumanize His Divine Holiness and justify multiple assassination attempts on His life.
- TV9 claimed that the close disciple Jamunarani would get devotees to sign the NDA - she absconded when the video was released - and will now be a strong evidence for this case. According to Forensic testing, her signature is proved to be in the NDA. She is Trustee in Nithyananda’s Trust.
- TV9 claimed that charge sheet showed there are sexual attacks on women.
- TV9 claimed that IIT rank-holders chose to get sexually harassed.
- TV9 claimed to have heard and have record of telephonic sexual conversation of Lenin.
- It is claimed by TV9 that all volunteers have to sign an NDA - in that it says you must engage in tantric sex, and watch obscene movies, as watching obscene movies makes you develop physical and mental control needed for Sanyas. If you do not agree to this you are not eligible to be a volunteer. Also, they must not speak about property or donation.
FACTS:
- Each of the above news are baseless accusations manufactured by TV9. These are simply ungrounded lies against Paramahamsa Nithyananda without any fact, any evidence.
- These ‘non-existent’ witnesses came out only on media channels such as TV9 !
- There was no NDA, it was the propaganda of spreading big lies told many times by the media to program the public. TV9 had no NDA to show.
- There is no telephone conversation existing. It is totally baseless news.
- TV9 cunningly presented a child rapist - relative of Samay TV chief - Vinay Bharadwaj (who was by jailed in US for raping children multiple times) as a “IIT rank holder.” August 14, 2012 - The court found Vinay Bharadwaj guilty on 3 separate felony counts of child molestation and a fourth count of communicating with a child for immoral purposes. Child molestation is considered among the most serious crimes in the U.S. and Bharadwaj was immediately taken into custody without bail. He was imprisoned in the highest security prison in the USA where most dangerous murderers are kept. The court acknowledged that his allegations against His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda Swami were obviously a ruse to protect himself. They stated they did not see any truth in those statements.
26 March 2012 - Swami Leele - Swami’s Leela
TV9’s Big Lies in video:
- Ravi Prakash claimed that female devotees aborted babies and were raped.
- Ravi Prakash wrote defamatory erotic news stories where he claimed an anonymous volunteer signed agreements and were compelled by some other volunteers to engage in sexual activity. Through TV9 Ravi Prakash claimed that the volunteer read books, which claimed sexual activity as a prerequisite for any spiritual practice. Ravi Prakash went overboard to claim that the volunteer was raped because she did not read the books.
FACTS
- It is very easy to cook up an anonymous identity and slap any claim against any person whom they seek to victimize and threaten. Countless times, TV9 has cooked up false allegations and presented it as “witness statements”, claiming that it was information they received from ‘unknown’ insider sources. No evidence needs to be produced by the channel because they know they are on of 100s of channels doing this so they know they will not face socio-legal repercussions.

Following are the some of the videos that TV9 (Kannada) telecasted. Hundreds of news coverages with incessant repeat telecasts were done by this TV9 across their multiple regional language channels for several years, starting March 2010.
In an unprecedented record in history of Indian mainstream media, no public figure or celebrity has been targeted with this level, volume and intensity of character assassination, which a Hindu spiritual leader, His Divine Holiness was put through. It is persecution not controversy - with a huge nexus of Media, Police, extremist Hindu militant and many hidden conspirators. Billions of opinions were falsely programmed with 'Nithyananda' as ephithet for sex and danger for human society !
