நித்தியானந்தா

உத்தரப் பிரதேச மாநிலம் காசியிலுள்ள விஸ்வநாதர் கோயிலில் தடையை மீறி படம் எடுக்க முயன்ற நித்தியானந்தாவின் சீடரிடமிருந்து கேமரா பறிமுதல் செய்யப்பட்டது.
இதுதொடர்பாக விளக்கம் கேட்டு நோட்டீஸ் அனுப்பப்பட்டுள்ளதுடன் விசாரணைக்கும் உத்தரவிடப்பட்டுள்ளது.
தீவிரவாத அச்சுறுத்தல் காரணமாக, காசி விஸ்வநாதர் கோயில் மத்திய பாதுகாப்புப் படையின் கண்காணிப்பில் உள்ளது. இந்த கோயிலின் வளாகத்தினுள் புகைப்படம் மற்றும் விடியோ கேமரா எடுத்துச் செல்லவும் படம் எடுக்கவும் தடை விதிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.
இந்நிலையில், அங்கு பூஜை செய்வதற்காக நித்தியானந்தா தனது மூன்று சிஷ்யர்களுடன் கடந்த வெள்ளிக்கிழமை சென்றார். கோயிலின் கர்பக்கிரஹம் அருகில் நித்தியானந்தா பூஜை செய்யத் தொடங்கியபோது, அதைப் படம் எடுப்பதற்காக அவருடன் வந்த சிஷ்யர் கேமராவை பையிலிருந்து எடுத்திருக்கிறார். இதை சிசிடிவி கேமரா மூலம் பார்த்த பாதுகாப்பு போலீசார், உடனடியாக கேமராவை பறிமுதல் செய்தனர்.
பின்னர் நடந்த முதல்கட்ட விசாரணைக்கு பின் கேமராவை திருப்பித் தந்தனர். இந்த கேமராவின் உரிமையாளரும் நித்தியானந்தாவை உள்ளே அழைத்துச் சென்றவருமான சங்கர்புரியிடமும் விசாரணை நடத்தினர்.
இதுகுறித்து, அதன் கியான்வாபி பகுதி காவல்துறை கண்காணிப்பாளர் டாக்டர்.அணில்குமார் பாண்டே கூறுகையில், "தடையை மீறி கேமராவை உள்ளே கொண்டு வந்தமைக்காக சங்கர்புரியின் மீது ஏன் நடவடிக்கை எடுக்கக் கூடாது எனக் கேட்டு அவருக்கு நோட்டீஸ் அனுப்பப்பட்டுள்ளது. பலத்த பாதுகாப்பை மீறி கேமராவை கொண்டு சென்றது எப்படி என விசாரிக்கவும் உத்தரவிடப்பட்டுள்ளது" என்றார்.
வழக்கமாக, நித்தியானந்தாவைப் போல் வரும் சாமியார்களிடம் பாதுகாப்பு போலீசார் தீவிர சோதனை செய்வதில்லை. இதனால், படம் எடுப்பதற்கான ஏற்பாடுகளை நித்தியானந்தாவே செய்திருக்கலாம் என சர்ச்சை எழுந்துள்ளது.
நித்தியானந்தா சர்ச்சையில் சிக்குவது இது முதன்முறை அல்ல. இதற்கு முன்பு கடந்த ஆண்டு நடந்த கும்பமேளாவில், அவருக்கு நிர்வாணி அஹாடா எனும் சாதுக்களின் சபையால் ரகசியமாக கொடுக்கப்பட்ட ‘மஹா மண்டலேஷ்வர்’ பட்டம் சர்ச்சைக்குள்ளானது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.

UP Police seized a camera from Nithyananda discple when he tried to take photos against the strict rules of the Kashi Vishwanath temple. In connection with this issue, a notice demanding an explanation has been sent and an enquiry into this matter has been ordered. Due to concerns of terrorist attacks, the Kashi Vishwanath temple is under the surveillance of Central Reserve Police. In this temple premises, carrying a photo or video camera or shooting photography or videography is strictly prohibited.
Under these circumstances, Nithynanda visited the temple on Friday to do puja along with his 3 disciples. In the temple Garba gruha (sanctum sanctorium), when Nithyananda started to do puja, his disciple pulled out the camera to take pictures. The police officers who observed this through CCTV immediately seized the camera from Nithyananda disciple. After the 1st level enquiry that followed the camera was returned. However they conducted enquiry with Shankarpuri, the owner of the camera who also arranged for Nithyananda's visit inside the temple.
Regarding this, the Gyanvapi section police in-charge Dr. Anil Kumar Pande said, "a notice has been sent to Mr. Shankarpuri demanding an explanation why action should be taken against him for carrying a camera (inside the temple) against the stringent rules prohibiting it. Also an investigation has been ordered into how the camera was taken inside despite the heavy security measures."
Normally, security officers do not do very strict checking of swamis who visit the temple like Nithyananda. This has raised a strong suspicion and controversy that
Nithyananda may be involved in sneaking the camera inside. This is not the first time Nithyananda is entangled in a controversy.Last year during Kumbh Mela, the Nirvani akhada's secret annointment of Nithyananda as a Mahamandaleshwar, is yet another controversy worth noting.

Outcry in Kumbakonam: Nithyananda disciples tried to take over sculpting laborer’s house
Nithyananda’s disciples caused an uproar in Kumbakonam when they attempted to take over Rs. 20 lacs worth house and property of a sculpting laborer. Mohandas belongs to Kumabakonam Mukkannar Street. His son Karthi (age 30) and he are both sculpting laborers. For past few years, both have been staying in Nithyananda ashram in Bidadi, Karnataka to make silver items. At that time they were given 235 Kg silver and told to make silver statues, simhasanas (throne), plates, etc. Mohandas took 65 people, mostly his relatives and friends, and finished the work and gave. However, it is said that silver was mixed with cheap metal (uloham) and cheated, causing loss worth Rs. 30 lakhs, so ashram administrators told that they must stay there and pay the amount. It is said that Karthi told he will give them his house to compensate for the loss, and he returned to Kumbakonam.
On that reason, Nithyananda disciples Rishi Shambavananda, Rishi Devaja, and Kalaiselvan came to Karthi’s house in Kumbakonam yesterday. It is told that Karthi handed over the house documents to them, and at that time he screamed that Nithyananda disciples are threatening him, trying to grab his property and have vandalized & damaged his house. On hearing this, lawyers, Hindu organizations and Karthi’s relatives gathered there.
Regarding this, Karthi told, “I and my father have been going to Nithyananda ashram for last 8 years. Past 1 year we made & gave silver statues, simhasanas (throne), plates, etc in the ashram. Because they demanded that the work should be completed fast, I took 65 people to work with me from Kumbakonam, Tarasuram, Tiruvalamsuzhi, Swami malai, Kovilpatti and Madurai. We did the work on contract basis. All contracts were in English. On the instruction of ashram administrators ¬I signed the documents. I know only Tamil. I and the laborers made 235 kilos of silver statues, plates and other such items and gave them and tried to return to Kumbakonam last January. At that time, ashram officials told me not to leave. I told them that my marriage has been fixed. They said, “Conduct your marriage in the ashram itself, we will find a girl for you”, but I refused. Then I left my father there and came back. Today (yesterday) the disciples who came from ashram told that in the items that I made silver was mixed with some other metal and that I had stolen the silver worth Rs. 30 lacs, and they threatened that I should give them my house and property as compensation for the loss.”
Regarding this, Nithyananda disciples Rishi Shambavananda& Rishi Devaja said, “items are stolen from ashram, further when statues were made they were mixed with cheap metals. At that time, Karthi had said that he will give his house as a compensation for the stolen articles. So we went today (yesterday) to see the place he promised to give, and to check the documents.”
Regarding this, Mohandas’ wife Shanthi gave a complaint in Kumbakonam East Police Station. Inspector Rajmohan and other policemen are conducting enquiry with both parties. This incident has created a huge outcry in Kumbakonam.
