Through a CD, Nithyananda’s former disciple Arathi Rao has denied the allegations the swami has levelled against her. She said he is spreading rumours about her.
As Arathi has gone into a hiding, her father Sethumadhav Rao held a press conference in the city on Friday and distributed the CD containing her message. In her message, Arathi has stated that she is not suffering from herpes 2—a sexually transmitted disease—and Nithyananda was spreading such rumours only to keep her quiet. She said she was willing to undergo a medical test.
She said she cannot step out as there is a threat to her life from Nithyananda. Nevertheless, she said, she would not be cowed down and fight till her last breath.
Her father said Nithyananda has accused her of blackmailing him (that she would make public an “explosive” CD of his) and making a huge amount of money by disseminating his techniques through her private yoga classes.
Veena of Spandana, an NGO that is supporting Arathi, said the organisation would soon file a PIL in the high court regarding huge donations that Nithyananda had been receiving for his offshore ashrams. Further, she said an American newspaper had reported about the swami’s links with Sri Lanka’s banned militant outfit, LTTE. She said all these angles should be investigated.
