| A group of non-resident Indians (NRIs) has moved legally to invoke a United States federal law, whose intended use is it to prosecute the American mafia, against a non-profit organisation of Nithyananda, who is already at the centre of a controversy. | |||||||||
 About 30 NRIs recently filed in the superior court in San Bernardino county of California a criminal case against a Oklahoma-based non-profit organisation, Nithyananda Foundation, and two of its directors, Ma Nithya Sadhananda, alias D Jamunarani, and Siva Vallabhaneni, alias Nithya Sachitananda. The court summons was served on Sachitananda on March 4, but it could not be served on Jamunarani, the wife of Nithyananda’s secretary Sadhananda, alias Dhanasekaran, since she is absconding from the Bidadi ashram near here.The NRIs have slapped charges under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organisations (RICO) Act and other criminal and civil charges involving fraud, conspiracy, breach of contract and unfair business practices. Under RICO, a person who is a member of an enterprise that has committed any two of 35 crimes—27 federal crimes and eight state crimes—within a 10-year period can be charged with racketeering. Those found guilty of racketeering can be fined up to $25,000 and sentenced to 20 years in prison per racketeering count. In addition, the racketeer must forfeit all ill-gotten gains and interest in any business gained through a pattern of "racketeering activity." According to the petition in the San Bernardino court, a copy of which is available with Deccan Herald, Nithyananda has at all times “controlled and operated the foundation as his own personal asset and piggybank”. The petition alleges that Nithyananda “controls numerous other organisations and transfers monies from one entity to another at will, including monies from the foundation to a company, Nithyananda Export and Import, that was created, operated and is run by Nithyananda’s brother.” The petition provides a specific example of invoices totalling $550,386.82 from Nithyananda Imports and Exports to Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam Temple and Cultural Centre for statues that were worth less than $100,000. | |||||||||

This is a lesson for all those who do not believe in their own God-given potentials and empower self-professed Gurus from India and around the World; irrespective of what religion these vampires come from.
ReplyDeleteNithyananda and his goons are Vampires who prey on the weak and vulnerables. These Vampires are not so bad but, those low grade brainless followers who continue to feed them (in the Ashram and around the World)despite, all the exposures; are worst then these Scumbags.
I see Eliyasekaran@Rajasekaran and his goons' doomsday are approaching them at a very fast rate
Halilooyah to Dharmananda's excellent work in exposing the Scumbags!
i'm not sure how much worth the mercury lingams are? i got one for $275 which i thought was way too expensive, but got it to have something significant.
ReplyDeleteIs he a business man or a spiritual role model? does he make the past masters proud? i am ashamed that i served this man for years hoping to be liberated or enlightened!
ReplyDeleteWhatelse you can expect from a person who is said to have got stone lingams for Rs5000/- and sold to devotees at Rs 50,000, for installing at the Tiruvannamalai Ashram!.Guess the magnitude of money made from 1008 such lingams (5 crs!) by this businessman nay a greedy man
ReplyDeleteThis is SWEET. Nithy is getting his A$$ kicked in Us court system. The NRI should make sure all the establishments there are shut down. The Milpitas temple should also be shut down and the Mayi who runs it arrested for money scams. More power to the cult free people.
