BANGALORE: South Indian film actress Ranjitha, who courted controversy a few years ago after a sleaze video involving her and godman Swami Nithyananda Paramanandawent viral, on Thursday took a vow and became a sanyasin at the godman's ashram near Bidadi, off Mysore Road and 30 km from Bangalore.
Ranjitha was among 40 others who were given the deeksha (oath) by Nithyananda to coincide with his birthday celebrations. The actor has been re-christened as Ma Anandamayi.
Ranjitha, a disciple of Nithyananda, had been in the news for the wrong reasons after her alleged romp with the godman was aired in various television channels.
Sources close to the actor said she has decided to spend the rest of her life at the ashram wearing saffron robes. She has been assigned the responsibility of taking care of the foreign operations of the ashram.
Activists of several pro-Kannada organizations, meanwhile, staged a protest in front of the Nithyananda Dhyanapeetham in Bidadi as news of the actor becoming a sanyasin spread.
Deputy superintendent of police Ramalingappa of Ramanagaram sub division told TOI that the disturbance lasted only for a few minutes. The protesters dispersed after the ashram authorities locked the gates preventing the crowd from gate-crashing into the premises where the ceremony was in progress.

Actor Ranjitha becomes Nithyananda's sanyasini
Tamil film actress Ranjitha, whose name was closely linked to the alleged sex scandal involving Bidadi Dhyanapeet Ashram’s Swami Nithyananda, was conferred ‘Sanyasa Deekshe’ by the controversial godman on his 37th birthday on Friday.
The actress was among 70 devotees, including a few foreign nationals, who received the deekshe. Ranjitha was clad in a saffron dress and chanted mantras (prayers) before being administered the sacred vow, sources in the ashram said. She has now assumed the name Maa Anandamayi.
Over a hundred devotees from Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Tamil Nadu attended the event. Religious rituals started at 6 am and went on till 9 pm. A few hoardings of Nithyananda were installed on the premises and Kannada and Tamil film songs were sung during a procession preceding the deeksha ceremony.

A few hoardings of Nithyananda were installed on the premises and Kannada and Tamil film songs were sung during a procession preceding the deeksha ceremony.
Entry for visitors was restricted and four policemen were guarding the premises. The ashram residents themselves had made the security arrangements and closed the main door. Tension prevailed for a while when a handful of cameramen climbed the compound of the ashram and started shooting the proceedings. The ashramites allegedly threw stones at them and berated them for the intrusion.
A few Kannada organisations held protests outside the ashram and demanded that Nithyananda be exiled from the State. They tore down banners and hoardings and set tyres on fire, shouting anti-Nithyananda slogans and performed a mock funeral procession.

Actress Ranjitha turns to sanyas, to live in Nithyananda Ashram - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcZjkk1b2BQ
ReplyDeleteThese gurus like Nithyanada and Asaram are the worst enemies of Hinduism. They should be outcasted for bringing very bad reputation to Hinduism in addition to being tried in criminal courts.
ReplyDeleteA sanyasi should be an ascetic who has renounced all carnal pleasures and single mindedly pursuing 'Brhama', the 'truth'!
Sanyasa is the renouncement of all worldly things except sustenance.
ReplyDeleteThere were non-celibate ascetics - but they cannot be called Sanyasis. Regardless of semantics of these words, we need to look at the topic on hand. I have read about Rishis. They were all Sathwiks. I have never read or heard of any Rishis who had many unmarried partners.for carnal pleasures. If such people existed, they would have been categorized as Thamasik and not sathwik. Thamasik is the way down in the 'paramrathik' evolution path. These Self styled gurus like Nithyananda are dangerous to Sanathana Dharma. Even worse are people like Asarams where they do one thing and preach the exact opposite! We should not blindly support these Gurus just because they are 'our' people. A weed is weed whether it is in our yard or our neighbors! Let us hope the weed gets withered out naturally.
If he is as innocent as you claim, why did he hide himself in the first instance, in HP ??? A true Yogi is fearless and is ready to face any consequence. You are as naive as actress !!!!!!,
ReplyDelete"Rishis who obliged were not tamasic.."
ReplyDeleteTrue. They did not do it for fun either nor they were indulging in orgies for the pleasure sake.
Don't degrade those sages comparing them to Nithyananda. His charm, knowledge and oratory are a waste. Why should he entice "Para sthree". Even if they come on their own, he has the moral duty to them lead them on the right path rather than 'using' them for his pleasure. Nothing can be worse than that!
Oratory or knowledge alone cannot make one a great. I don't know if you understand Kannada. We have an adage: "Ella BaNNa masi nungithu". That is what is happening in the case of Nithyanada. He should change his name as NithyaKamathurananda.
These Swamis should take Swami Vivekanand, Swami Dayananda etc., as their role models. They should not go perverted like Rajneesh. Nityananda is more devil than Rajneesh.
ReplyDeleteYou are trying to justify Nityananda by comparing to the beliefs of the ancient world. Those days they believed that a mango from a tantrik can fertilize a woman. Do you give a mango of a tantrik to your wife to have a son? Wake up my boy, don't be stupid.
ReplyDeleteGasivas's comments are very sensible.
That is all you have to defend your swami against what I wrote?
ReplyDeleteSo what is false? Is it not true that Swami indulges in sx with sanyasins? Or Swami ran away to north and hid when there were complaints?
Is it false that the sanyasi (who is supposed to be sarva sanga parithyagi) is amassing huge wealth so that he can indulge?
Like all crooks, he does a little bit of 'social service' as a facade and uses his oratorical skill to fool people?
No body can take away ethics OR insult you with out your permission. Noble British taught us sense of Justice & fair play. People like nithyananda are corrupting the system. Dont Send mother or sister to this fake godman .
ReplyDeletethe idiot. Heknows Beams his talks to USA in disgusting english & stale jokes. I heard the fake telling a devotee ,after his (DEVOTEES)death, it may take 6 months for his rebirth!!!Some how he has his gang towork for him as bouncers in a pub
ReplyDeletedisgusting english coverage of talks in english as beams his talk on TV to USA. Stale jokes. I heard the fake tell a devotee it will take 6 months for him (for devotee) after his death. . I was also told hthe fake guru was regularly sleeping with the wife of one devotee & he set up a temple in some city in uSA for his benefit
ReplyDeleteNithyananda shamelessly licked the feet of foreign nationals to get dollars and euros. Now he cant set foot in US(he will be jailed the moment he sets his foot there), all he does is blame other religions. He has travelled to Nepal, malyasia etc, why hasn't he gone to US since 2010(after the video came) ? Earlier he used to be in US/Canada twice a year.

ReplyDeleteNithayanada claims to be God, so u r ok to compare him with a politician ? Nithya himself said he is not a man, so looks like you guys are following a eunuch then ? You brain dead followers keep changing your tracks when cornered. What has Cuba got to do with this, shows you are so brain dead that you can't even hold a proper argument.
ReplyDeleteJust because a guy calls himself a guru does not make him a guru. Dont compare this scumbag to the great masters of India. Just because I am a hindu does not mean I will accept the abuse of my great religion by these crooks. It is crooks like Nithyananda and Asaram who have spoiled the name of a glorious religion. These people are not holy men period, just because they wear saffron clothes. These people claim to have divine powers, why are they relying on the courts which are run by mere mortals ? Shouldn't they do something divine to prove they are innocents instead of blabbering the same nonsense that politicians spew, when cornered ?
ReplyDeleteA real swami does not claim to be god(see Swami Vivekananda, Ramana etc), but this man explicitly claimed to be Kalabhairava and has his idol installed and worshipped, so there goes your bloody lies. The media does not have to tell me, my own exposure to his activities tell me that he is a crook. You shamelessly bring church and other religions here, when he shamelessly went to US and other countries to get disciples and Dollars. So stop your yoursense.
ReplyDeleteOk nobody is born sinner, but can commit sin in later life. If according to you we are all divine, then why did Nithyananda berate and call a ...? He in all his divine knowledge should have been compassionate and should have had kind words for her, despite what she allegedly(emphasis here) did to him. No he went on a rampage like a drunk rowdy against a woamn, and now you preach some BS that we all have some divinity.

ReplyDeleteHindu or non-hindu, atleast I have a brain to think and question unlike you brain dead retards. And your guru is not even a human being for abusing so many women.
ReplyDeleteNobody worships gurus. Gurus are not gods. If you understood even a bit of Hinduism, you'd appreciate Tat Tvam Asi as the core basis for the respect accorded to individuals who have more knowledge then us.
ReplyDeleteA prostitube being made a sanyasi by a Pimp... I mean what kind of people in karnataka tolerate these scumbags... We have people like Vivek who are paid trolls of Mr Nityananda pimp posting and defending their master... The time is not far where we can expel this idiot from bangalore. Just like they kicked him out of that Madurai temple....
ReplyDeleteRanjitha copied the name from fake Rajnish partner Maa Anandamayi later called rajneesh a spoiled brat!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletePlease close the Ashram ASAP. Let Mr. Nitya and his followers go their home state of Tamil Nadu. The people there will give them the treatment they deserve. Can someone tell me who gave the land to this gang?? They need to be hanged first
ReplyDeletewonder why people become devotees or followers of such god men. There is god within you. No need to approach god man.
ReplyDeletePerhaps now they can live together
ReplyDeleteanother drama by nithyananda.......these people are fooling the people...
ReplyDeleteTricks and treachery are the practice of the fools, that don't have brains enough to be honest. These people never know that merit and good fortunes are closely united. So they look for good fortune in such dramas
ReplyDeleteHow come the law has not caught up with Nityananda so far and why is he allowed to roam free? While Asaram is languishing in jail, he is allowed freedom. This does not stand to reason. Ranjitha will not be another Ma Amritandamayi, just by donning similar name!
