Self-proclaimed godman Swami Nithyananda's troubles, it seems, are here to stay. New investigations have revealed that the swami had sodomised some of his disciples.

him to take back the complaint. He claimed that Nithyananda had offered
him Rs 20 crore for not filing the complaint. Pic/Ramesh H S
An investigating officer said that Nithyananda and his men are allegedly threatening witnesses connected with the case. His sexual romp with men and women was revealed by a witness's statement that was attached with the chargesheet filed by the CID.
Sources say that Nithyananda sodomised Vinay Bharadwaj, a disciple, and later booked a criminal case against him because he had 'gotten too big for his shoes'. One of the witnesses, who was repeatedly raped by the swami said that Vinay, who was the spiritual head of a Nithyananda Vedic Temple in the West Coast (US), was removed from the position because of his 'ego'. According to her, Vinay called her in July 2009, and shared information about Nithyananda's relations with many women, and the relationship between him and the swami.
According to Vinay, Nithyananda was power-hungry, and loved only himself. But the witness did not converse with him for long, as Nithyananda had directed her to keep her distance from him. Later, Nithyananda told her that Vinay was having ego clashes with him, and had subsequently left the mission. Nithyananda had added that Vinay was spreading false allegations about him.
The swami went to the US from September to October 2009, and the witness was with him. During that visit, Nithyananda told her that Vinay had been 'taken care of', and he was not a cause for concern anymore.
She says, "After the scandal broke out in March 2010, I found that within 10 days of sending that e-mail to the Ashram, Nithyananda's team had drafted legal documents, which implicated Vinay in false charges. The team also pressurised him to sign the document, and withdraw his statements. If he failed to do so, Nithyananda had threatened him with legal action in the US.
Witness tampering
In the meantime, CID officers alleged that Nithyananda and his henchmen are threatening the witnesses connected with the case. Some witnesses who are in US had agreed to depose before the department, but later developed cold feet.
An officer said "We learnt Nithyananda and his disciples were intimidating them." Vinay had agreed in the FIR against the swami that he was a victim of sodomy. Vinay had agreed to come to India to depose against the swami, but failed to turn up.
Later, it was learnt that in order to prevent him from coming to India, a criminal case was booked against him by the Nithyananda Ashram in the US.

Looks like Nithyananda did a pre-emptive attack on Vinay by filing wrong allegations to prevent him sharing any info with CID.
ReplyDeleteAlso to scare any U.S devotees coming forward to be witness to CID.
Spiritual organization becoming like a mafia ... alas ...
I know vinay bharadwaj for almost four yrs, very well behaved & always smiling person, very innocent. i was shocked to hear the news that for such kind of person one kido filed case that also child molestation. I wonder wether that kid really knows what is molestation means. If she files case against "Nithyananda" we all can understand because he doesn't have anyhing for that girls can fall for - no look, no qualification. so has to force girls. but if you see vinay's qualification & look you will understand he doesn't have to molest anyone infact he can get molested. and thats exactly happened.

If he decide, any girl can fall for him. so guys open your eyes, follow Dharma & please support vinay
Stop blabbering Kutarka, Vitarks and all. Just because Rajasekaran and the fools following him got some minor understanding of these concepts in last year's Patanjali sutra discourses doesn't mean you start talking like some enlightened saint. We, the Hindus, know how to respect Saints from all religions. But we take good care of frauds too, as you will see shortly. By the way, do you know what "Right Knowledge" is in the Patanjai Sutras. One of them is acquired through direct observation.
ReplyDeleteWorking as GOD MEN and running ashrams and such things is a booming business. Demand for swamis is sky high and their business ventures are also equally racing in high speed. Swamis enjoy high social status and connectons with influential people. They exploit weaknesses and many of them are crooks. They helped the country in achiving 5th position for corruption in the world.
ReplyDeleteNityananda is a rouge swami.These type of sex swami,s are spoiling the image of Hinduism .This sex swami must be kept in jail, his entire life, for his notorious illegal activities .He is spoiling so many young lives in the name of Godly powers.These type of sex Swami,s are dangerous for the society and the country.

ReplyDeleteI know Vinay Bharadwaj for the past four years.
ReplyDeleteYes, he has definitely been framed.This is like any other mafia act. I know the family which has shamelessly come forward to give complaint against such an innocent human being. They are thinking they are doing seva to their Guru. What a lowly act ! and they think they are LIVING ENLIGHTENMENT and SPIRITUAL. First step in spirituality is compassion, forgiveness and unconditional love which is totally absent in the followers and disciples of NITHYANANDA
Lenin thanks for what you have done to awaken the masses. Now, please save Vinay Bharadwaj.
ReplyDeleteVimalananda left the cult sometime around june'09. They started troubling him when Nithy got into trouble. The person who has done this is the Poojachari of Seattle temple saying his daughter now 13 (at the time of lodging the complaint),was molested by him when she was 11. They filed a case now after nithy went to jail. It is surely a case of vengence.
ReplyDeleteIf you understand US, you know for sure handsome and highly educated guys like Vinay will have no shortage of beautiful single girls.. There is no reason for guys like Vinay to molest children.. If anyone has few active brain cells then will not disregard this fact.. Look at Vinay's record guys... it is very obvious, Vinay is a very disciplined and spiritual guy. Truth will prevail.. It is matter of time. I can forgive Nithyanada for his sexual weakness and indulging short term pleasures.. I can not forgive him for his criminal conduct of taking revenge of honest people who brought the truth to the world.. Truth will prevail. Hey Nithi..don't think you can get away with this...
