RS. 1000 FOR NITHYANANDA'S FRAUDULENT BLESSINGS

I will go by the name of Chandru, lest Nithyananda may get after me for expressing certain findings and  truths, given his reputation. I belong to a very backward Barber community. I was fortunate enough to get a university degree in psychology and a Govt. job with the help of my village land lords and scholarships. I have recently retired.

In the last 2 years, Nithyananda has become a master of controversies. I was baffled at his never say die attitude. I admired his rustic elocution skills and knowledge base. I got an opportunity to visit his Temple/Ashram near to Shamshabad Airport, Hyderabad, when messages were circulated by his organizers, announcing that he was visiting and personally giving blessings in the KALPATARU programme on November 9, 2012. I was just curious to know and find out for myself the truth behind the Infamous Incarnation and the nature of his organization. I was asked to report at 2.00PM.

I reached Satamrai village, 4 KM before Shamshabad, Hyderabad, a bit early, to find out details of the Temple/Ashram of Nithyananda from the village elders and connected people. I was told that the Temple on a land of about 4.5 acres was built by a wealthy and pious lady whom they addressed as Sujata Amma. Sujata Amma owned about 125 acres of land there, and she dedicated a small part of it to her favorite Goddess Rajarajeshwari, I was told. “She donated or gifted the temple to Nithyananda about 6 years back and that Nithya had promised the lady and her family that he would start a free school for poor children and also a Vedic study center (Veda Patashala). Infact Nithya publicly announced the same during the ceremonial takeover. Though built by her, it was deemed as their village Temple. Nithya has let them down badly. He did nothing, except throwing the existing Brahmin pujari's and replacing them by his Brahmachari's. Their first act was to install a marble statue of Nithya, in the sanctom sanctorium ( Garbagudi) in front of the Diety of DEVI and fill up the whole space with Nithya's photos and books, all for sale. Business was started in all earnestness. The Brahmachari's knew no sloka's nor any mantras. They just kept the place clean, cleaned and dressed the deity's and performed the aarathi both morning and evening. Their job was to promote Nithya as an enlightened master and an Avatar of Shiva. None were familiar with Temple worship. Even now, there is no one with any knowledge of mantras and temple worship. No one visits the temple”, said the villagers.

When the Nithya's sex tape was shown on TV's in 2010, the Temple was attacked by the villagers who wanted to takeover the same. But the donors family including Sujata Amma restrained the villagers and assured them that Nithya has promised to return the Temple. Sadly this never happened. The first thing that Nithya did after coming out of jail was, to take an injunction from the court, restraining the Donor, her family members, the village surpanch and village leaders from entering the Temple by making the usual false allegations of land grabbing against the family members and village leaders. Sujata Amma died last year, a sad lady not being allowed to enter the Temple she built for her DEVI. Many villagers have seen her, parking her car near the main gate of the Temple and paying her respects to her DEVI from the main gate. The village head says that this is the Nithya Rakshasa the world should know and they are unanimous in calling Nithya a sexual pervert and a fraud. Sujata Amma died last year, but not before filing a suit against Nithya and his trust to cancel the gift deed. I was also told that one Shailendra and his wife both staunch devotees of Nithya have been appointed as head of the Temple and are in charge now. They incidentally belong to my community. I was also told that Nithya targets only the rich for donations to further his ambitions. Having heard all this from the villagers, I was apprehensive about attending  the programme. But I forced myself to fulfill the task of understanding Swami Nithya and his ways.

The place is kept clean. The hall in the basement was used for the programme. We were registered, about 20 of us in all, by filling a form which states their address in Canada and which has too many legal clauses (I am enclosing the same)  on a payment of Rs1000.00 and invited for a simple lunch. The first dampner was we were told that Nithya was in Slovakia and he would be available only on a 2 way video connection. They were quick to add, dont worry about that, Swami transforms into a KALABHAIRAVA and his energy will be the same. The Temple head and his wife were assisted by some local devotees. We learned that all instructions are given by a core group under Swami. It seemed that the group in Hyderabad were the second circle leaders of Swamy. As expected, before the programme started, there was a talk in groups about the Divinity of Swami. A story of a snake performing a puja in Bidadi Ashram was recited. We were also told that the very spirit of Swami transforms and he no longer is Swami, instead becomes the KALABHAIRAVA. In this exalted state, He can see your past births, present and future. He has a capacity for Akashic Readings. Only the chosen ones are blessed to get this opportunity. I recall, I was told on the phone, please pay in to our A/C in Kotak Bank as early as possible, we have a capacity for only 45 or 50 and already 40 are booked. But here the hall was half empty and I paid Rs1000.00 to become the chosen one. A rich and wealthy lady devotee by name Ramanasri was in- charge for registrations.

The on-line workshop started and one Ma Manisha came on the screen. The moment she came on screen there was buzz and some  volunteers  said that was from A.P and was now a confidant and in personal service of Swami and in-charge of workshops. We were given a talk of health and creation of wealth for sangha and were made to sit with strangers and had to share personal secrets and guilt with them. I did some sharing with a young man and confided about my intention of the visit. The young man also confided saying that he was on the same mission and was carrying a spy camera.We were made to do a few meditation practices including breathing exercises. Around 5.00 PM we were introduced to a meditation known as Kundalini Meditation which was exhaustive and blanks your mind. This was followed by instructions to blank your mind  i.e dropping any thought as it arises in the mind ( which they call as unclutching) is practiced. All the meditations and practices prescribed makes your body light and the mind goes blank and dizzy. In short without realizing you have been mentally conditioned to accept the larger than life figure who will be shortly presented before you as an Avatara Pursha or an Incarnation of Shiva or in this case as KALABHAIRAVA. Having studied psychology I can clearly understand that this is subtle practice of a cult. I advice the readers to google search "How to form a cult of you own" and the "Practices of cults". Practices of mental conditioning, intense fasting, sleep deprivation and then introduction of the Master as an Incarnation are all commonly adopted practices by all cults and Nithya is not doing anything new. 

During the dinner break I enquired about the original owners of the Temple. They were not very forthcoming. I however scratched the information that the earlier in-charge, just before the sex scandal broke out, was one Mrs Ragini a.k.a Ma Sachitananda, was a close devotee and secretary of Swami and was closely related to the Donors of the Temple. It has transpired that she was instrumental in inspiring and fooling the Land Lady to gift the Temple to Nithya. She is held in high respect for this act of hers in the Nithya Sangha and by Nithya himself. She now resides in Bidadi Ashram and is a close first circle member.

Instructions were given that we should write out only one personal question and KALABHAIRAVA would answer the same. We could not ask questions on behalf of relations or friends. Ma Manisha a.k.a Madhavi came on the screen again. She informed, please be prepared for Swami in the form of KALABHAIRAVA. Don't get scared, he will be full of energy and possessed by SHIVA himself. We all became a bit tense. We were told Swami in this form will see through you and if any one with a camera or a recording device will be immediately noticed by Swami. My new friend got a bit nervous, but he could do nothing about his spy camera. Finally KALABHAIRAVA jumped on to the screen. And what a joke it was. Here was KALABHAIRAVA, in full make up. He wore a tiger printed garment with a garland of small plastic skulls. He put on a scary make up on his face and stood holding a trishool shivering and shaking as if possessed by some thing. A better act could have been put up by any village drama troup. He started answering questions in the style of a possessed village witch. It was a total let down. It also did not seem like he was in Slovakia which we were told. One of his Brahmachari later confided that Swami is hiding and perhaps in Hyderabad only. I asked why and he said that he is fearing arrest in Tamil Nadu and his position in Karnataka is not tenable due to a recent court order. So much for KALABHAIRAVA. My friend with the spy camera smiled and melted away in the darkness.

Everything that happened confirmed one thing - I PAID RS. 1000.00 FOR NITHYANANDA'S FRAUDULENT BLESSINGS AT HYDERABAD
