This is a personal sharing by Sri Nithya Yogananda Swami where he was physically attacked by a seemingly random mob in the Bangalore Aadheenam (Temple monastery complex ). He very quickly came to realise the random mob was not random at all, but rather a cleverly disguised targeted attempt to assassinate his beloved Guru, His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. It is a traumatic experience that still haunts him to this day.
“This was in 2010, the media telecasted something wrongly about Swamiji. There was a lot of people like over 50 to more than 100 people with sticks and stones. They barged into the area, pulled up my shoulder, pushed me against the wall and slapped me left and right They started kicking me and pushing me, just holding my neck asking me “Where is Swamiji? Where is Swamiji?”
Caught completely off guard and defenceless, he did his best to protect himself from the relentless physical attacks. He was confused, frightened and disoriented by the events unfolding. The level of violence the mob was displaying was alarming. He remembers the violence vividly:
“I couldn’t see a trace of humanity in any of them. One after another they starting surrounding me, tieing my hand behind me. One after another, they kept asking me “Where is Swamiji? Where is Swamiji?” They started waving fire at me!”
Throughout the ordeal, he watched the media, indifferent to the suffering of those being attacked and the destruction of the Aadheenam taking place, expertly capturing footage of all that was happening. The slight hope he had on human compassion coming in the form of their aide quickly fizzled out when he understood the media and the 'mob' were not separate entities, but rather a joined faction. He recalls the scene:
“Even though the whole thing was told it was a random mob, they were very clearly targeting only Swamiji. They were well armed with firearms along with a camera crew along so that they were so precisely clearly going for Swamiji putting everything on fire. Every single place where Swamiji could be, they were burning it down, they were actually going to kill Swamiji. They have planned to kill. The mob was going in every direction. Very very wild putting fire on every single possible place where Swamiji could be. That was the most disturbing thing. I am praying that nothing is going to happen to him. Somehow escape this whole thing and be alive. I couldn’t do anything. I thought the whole world was shown like a public thing but it was not, we know what was the original intention because we faced it. The truth has to be told. The truth has to be told.
It was not anything general, it was a very targeted thing. It was not at all what was told in the media but very fortunately some of the people helped Swamiji from this whole thing and get him out to safety.”
Sri Nithya Yogananda Swami still carries the pain of this unjustified attack. As a monk, he always holds the best for humanity in his heart, yet what he witnessed in this orchestrated assassination attempt against His Divine Holiness has left him disillusioned about the real state India is in.
He shares, "There was a lot more of these things but this was the most painful thing for the very first time that I was seeing things how this whole thing in a most tortured manner, in such a ruthless manner not considering any single was human just going behind somebody just to kill no matter what. It was such a violent experience. It was really really violent experience.
It is not at all what the world has seen. It is completely different. The world is deliberately shown something which did not happen. This is what was happening."
He has not completely given up in the hope of justice, which is why he shares his experience today. The media has so far controlled what the public has seen in these staged attacks, but he is here to stand up and speak the truth of what really happened. He is a real victim of these attacks that has never been given an arena to share the truth - an emotional suppression that is given some healing here today.
