Days after one of his organisations was sued for fraud in the United States, lawyers representing Nithyananda and his several organisations in that country have denied he has any links with those so-called non-profit enterprises. | |||
| The “memorandum of points and authorities”, which are essentially rebuttals of the allegations made against Oklahoma-based Nithyananda Foundation by some non-residents Indians (NRIs) who in December last year brought criminal and civil charges of fraud, racketeering, breach of contract and unfair business practices, claims: “Swami is not a Foundation Board Member, is not a shareholder or member of the Foundation, is not an employee of the Foundation, and is not an agent of the Foundation.” Two directors of the foundation were also slapped with the same charges. A copy of the two-page document, which is in the possession of Deccan Herald, quotes the NRIs’ criminal case petition, filed in the superior court in San Bernadino county of California, saying: “Plaintiff (NRIs) alleges that Swami (not the Foundation) agreed in writing to transfer ownership of the property to plaintiff as a return of plaintiff’s $1.7 million investment” and that “despite the Swami’s agreement to transfer ownership of the property, the Foundation breached the contract and refuses to convey the property”. The document claims that “Swami had no authority to authorise such transfer”. It appears that the foundation lawyer’s response to the criminal case is more an attemp to delink Nithyananda from not just that particular entity but also at least a dozen other not-for-profit organisations that Nithyananda’s senior devotees ran across the United States. The NRI’s criminal petition provides specific examples of wire transfer of huge sums of money, in the form of donations by devotees, from the foundation to a company known as Nithyananda Export and Import, which was “created, operated and is run by Nithyananda’s brother”. In the light of the allegations made by the NRIs and the response to the charges, several former Nithyananda devotees are now wondering why an attempt is being made to show that he has no ties with the many money-spinning organisations that were established under his name. One such entity was the Nithyananda Investment Fund I LP (limited partnership), a hedge fund, of which Nithyananda was the promoter. | |||

ReplyDeleteBEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH!
Sri Nithyananda, March is here again. It's been an eventful year. Let's recap the year so quickly gone by. Amazing! the way you have scaled the heights of story telling and lies. You have indeed
developed it in to an art form. Not to be left behind, your first circle and also your second circle, who have also done a remarkable job of
lies and half truths to save and defend their Master. What a pity! You have ruined their families and have left them with no independent
identity nor rational and logical thought. You have brainwashed them to believe that their first duty is to defend their Master at any
cost, even at the cost of Truth. Have you not told them that Truth is different from Fact? All this only to save yourself and keep your
organization intact. Poor fellows, they don't even know that they are being used.
As an independent investigator, I have met a number of your supporters and a few important members of your Ashram who are in close contact
with you. I purposely avoided meeting you, the accused first circle Ananda's and other second circle who gave the interviews. There was no
need to meet, because the talks and interviews given were sufficient eye opener and indicative of their line of thought. I made it a point
to meet a number of your ex-devotees who gave a lot to your Mission to make it what it is today. I met your ex- Maha-Acharya's, Acharya's,
Major Donors, ex-Brahmacharis, advisers, members of your publishing department and sincere volunteers both in India and the U.S who have
given a heart-rending tale of your betrayal and fraud.
Your run-and-hide days and the fact that during the first fortnight of the expose' you admitted to having a relationship with the woman-in-the-video to many close and important devotees has been well covered and needs no wastage of time and space. During those days you also admitted on the U-tube and the visual media that you were 'experimenting' and that your privacy was invaded and later admitted that the tape was
partially true and partially altered. In your subsequent interviews you back tracked and presently you and your partner in the video
refuse to admit that you are the persons in the video. The police and the labs have beyond doubt established that you and your partner (the woman in the video) are really the persons in the video and the Fact and Truth in this case remain the same. I wonder how you managed to brainwash your
present devotees in to believing all your lies. You deserve a medal for dishonesty and brainwashing.
We won't waste much time about your arrest, the feigning of heart pain and hospitalization to avoid interrogation. Your admission to the police to having an intimate relationship with not just the woman in the video but also admitting to having sex with over 12 women. However, your own confession in front of the police is not a legally admissible evidence in the courts... so you are at an advantage here. Nithyananda! Are these the ways of a real/genuine day Enlightened Master? No! certainly no
