India mourns for Delhi gang rape victim

India mourns for the brave victim of Delhi gang rape. Deepest condolences to her family. may her soul rest in peace. 

 The prime minister has promised that her death will not be in vain. We hope stricter rape laws will be brought so that rape trials will be conducted in special courts in daily basis, and all the legal loopholes exploited by rapists will be fixed to give them the harshest punishments.

  Rape and all forms of violence against women is a shame to this country where women are worshipped as goddesses. The youth of our country have spoken out in a single voice against such violence. We hope this will give courage to all victims to speak out against their abuse and seek swift justice against their abusers

TRUE FACTS OF THRUVNANNAMALAI TEMPLE/ASHRAM, AN EYE OPENER FOR DEVOTEES AND GENERAL PUBLIC

Thrunannamalai Temple and Ashram of NITHYA is under Govt. focus and news. Everyone is aware of the fiasco that is being enacted there. Its time people know the true facts and details of the Temple/Ashram of Nithya. Its more important that all the present brainwashed devotees know the real facts and intentions of Nithya. Perhaps this will help them to use their rational mind and come out of the spell of Nithya. 

                                             ( now )
 
I am assuming the name as Tamilselvan, a long time devotee of Nithya and a local resident. I am coming out of his spell.
Everyone and especially all old devotees are aware that the Temple and Ashram of Nithya in Thrunannamalai was inaguarated on April 19, 2008. Pranapratishta, yagam, Abishekam and pancha Aarathi was performed by none other than Nithya himself. Mulikas, a total of 1008 were offered in the yagam performed by Nithya himself. Navapashanam and yantras was offered and placed under the dieties of SHIVA and PARVATI, lingas and the navagrahas as a sacred ritual of PRANAPRATISHTA. This was done all by Nithya himself. Tamil director cum actor Visu, local MLA's and chairman of Panchayat were the dignitaries invited. I was present and a witness and volunteer to all the proceedings of the function. More than 5000 people attended this function.


I was part of the team under Sharanagatha Maharaj, which also included Chidambarananda, Alagan and Dorai. In 15 days we were ordered by Nithya to place orders, get the Lingas sculpted and delivered in Thirunannamalai, 1008 in all, (108 bigger size lingas and balance smaller lingas) from Mahabalipuram. We did not sleep for those 15 days. Sharanagataha and Chdambarananda were constantly scolded and abused by Nithya for delays in delivery schedule. Infact Nithya and his personal team visited Thrunannamalai not less than 7 times to supervise and instuct. Nithya and his team stayed at organiser Jaya Kumars’s and donor Sounderrajan’s home. Constant phone calls were received to our agony from Pranananda and Gopika who would pass on the phone to Nithya who would shower abuses on our team. It was a nightmare best forgotten. We consoled ourselves thinking that it was a service to Master and for the larger cause of the Temple. Each small Linga was purchased for Rs2000.00 and the cost of each bigger Linga was Rs6000.00. The orders for bigger Idols of SHIVA (Anandeshwara) and PARVATI (Anandeshwari) were placed earlier and procured for Rs55,000.00. Idol of Nandi was procured for Rs12,000.00. Similarly, the cost of Murgan Idol with Valli Daivanai cost Rs30,000.00. Ganapati Idol for Rs8,000.00 and Navagraha Idols were bought outright at nominal cost. More than 100 artisans were working round the clock and Nithya did not release payment on time. We had a spat with the main Sthapathi. On Sharanagatha’s and Chidambarananda’s personal assurance the Idols were despatched. A total of 12 trucks were loaded with the above idols and despatched to Tirunannamalai.

                                       
                            ( 19 th-04- 2008 to 30-10-2012)

For sake of authenticity, I will also inform that Nithya wanted to install the 21.00 feet high Navapashana Linga, but sadly the local corporation and HR & CE deptt., objected to the same. In the mean while the construction in-charge volunteer Krishnamurthy and Jaya kumar dug up a huge pit 8.00ft deep of size 40.00x40.00 feet, for foundation to the Linga. This was kept open for a long time and closed up much later when it was realised that Corporation would never permit the same

 Now coming to the marketing part, this was most shocking. We all knew that Nithya was an excellent spiritual and religious marketing man, proclaiming to be an Avatar of Shiva, with his work shops and abilities to mesmerize and convince devotees. But this was too much for us to digest. 

                              19 th-04- 2008 to 30-10-2012


A separate Linga donation marketing and focus team was created. Flex, banners, posters and pamphlets were printed and distributed to various centers soliciting devotees to sponsor the lingas by paying Rs50,000.00 for small lingas and Rs1,00,000.00 for bigger lingas. It was assured that the name of the donor will be inscribed on the linga along with his gothra and puja and aarthi will be performed and his sanyas parampara would continue this for ages to come. And you would get rid of all kind of doshas. As long as Son and Moon were existing. Separate counters were placed at ASP and NSP programs and Linga donations were solicited. Ma Yogeshwari was specially made in-charge for the collections. 

The PRO Sevananda a.k.a Palaniappan was also given the task of propagating, inspiring and collecting bookings for Lingas.
The response from the devotee base was overwhelming. The Malaysian organiser and ashramites were the first to book about 80 lingas. Orders from Los Angles were to the tune of 200. There were a few orders from Hyderabad, Bangalore and other centers. All centers from Tamil Nadu contributed. All the lingas were booked in no time. There was no looking back for Nithya. Arrogance started showing up in Nithya. 

Nithya’s Deepam speech was full of hollow emotion. This is not just to criticize him. Its perhaps due to my better understanding of the evil genius in him. Nithya started off by offering gratitude and thanking all the existing brainwashed ashramites, organisers and devotees starting with Pranananda, Atamprabhananda, Bhaktika, Rishi, chandran and many other brainwashed slaves. In your ASP program you clearly explained that everyone seeks attention. You have pandered to this emotion in them. They must have been in tearful joy. Well done Nithya. Your voice was shrill and seemed desperate.

 What happened to you. Humility was never your trait. You were charging Rs25,00,000.00 per day per visit to any outstation city before the scandal brokeout. What a reversal in fortune. We could see the pain you felt at the prospect of losing just 3.00 acres of land with sheds to the Govt. Have you ever thought what must be going through the hearts of Donors who donated Temples and Lands in Rajapalaiam, Trichunapally, Teni, Salem, Hyderabad and Los Angles. You masqueraded as an Avatar gave false promises and defrauded them into donating their property.

                                      (2008 to 2010)

 You have misused the God gift that you have, of high IQ, great knowledge base, excellent elocution and mesmeric talk. You have perpetuated a cult, brainwashed your devotees and made them your slaves and are still continuing to do so. Your days seem numbered. The wheels of destiny grinds slowly but truly.
I will end this note, but not before quoting what the Advocate General of Tamil Nadu said in his affidavit filed in the Honorable High Court of Madras. “ Nithyananda is a man of low character. Any prudent person will not accept Nithyananda as the head of a religious institution, even to a secular institution. Where ever Nithyananda goes, he brings social discord and unrest”.
The choice is yours.

SUN TV Saxena's Police Complaint: NO TALK of Nithyananda CD Morphing

Dec 18, 2012, 03.48 AM IST
 
Talk of a comeback. Just over a year after his arrest on charges of cheating, Hansraj Saxena has managed to strike out on his own in Kollywood. Out on bail after 72 days in jail, he launched a film production and distribution company named Sax Pictures, which made its debut with a moderately successful multi-lingual feature, 'Chaarulatha'. Sax Pictures is now busy putting final touches on a second project, a Tamil-Telugu bilingual named 'Shivani'.

His resurgence is evident from the fact that there is talk of a movie starring Rajinikanth. The project has the industry waiting in anticipation as it could mark the coming together of the Superstar and the marketing talent of Sax, as he is popularly known.

All this was inconceivable a year ago when Saxena was arrested at Chennai airport soon after he arrived on a flight from Hyderabad. "My success made me a bad boy. When we took over the reins of 'Enthiran' from its original producers Ayngaran International, nobody expected it to become such a huge hit. But I convinced Kalanithi Maran (Sun TV Network chairman, who also owns Sun Pictures) that we could make it work. After the movie made a lot of money, my former colleagues became jealous of my success. And they got false cases foisted on me."And this resulted, he claims, in his fall from grace.

"Kalanithi dissociated himself from me..." From being the CEO of the most influential film production house in south India, he ended up a jailbird. "I am not a terrorist. What was the reason to pick me up at the airport? I guess after a complaint was filed, some cops got excited and thought they could use me to get a handle on Kalanithi Maran. And they were very disappointed when I had nothing sensational to disclose about the Sun group. I don't blame the government or the cops for my arrest because I know for a fact that my former colleagues in Sun TV misled them," he says.

During his tenure, Sun Pictures was accused of arm-twisting producers using political and financial muscle, but Sax insists the deals he entered into were above board. He says, "I was doing genuine business. Even if someone had accused me of cheating, it would just have been a civil case, there was no reason to arrest me; we could have sat across the table and resolved any problem."

Sun TV chose to steer clear of Saxena after cheating cases were filed against him, preferring to settle directly with those who he had done business with on their behalf. However, Saxena claims it was his erstwhile colleagues who misrepresented his role before the Sun management. If his dealings were not above board, why would people who complained against him come back to work with him after his release, asks Sax, quoting the example of producer-director Sakthi Chidambaram. The latter says, "I had filed a case against Sax and R Ayyappan (film distributor, who owns Sri Devar Pictures) as some money was due to me from Sun Pictures after I distributed 'Enthiran' in Chengalpattu.

As I did not receive the money even after a year, I filed a complaint with the police. Later, I realized they were not to blame, and I withdrew the complaint." Today, though most cases have been withdrawn, the ordeal he faced in jail still rankles Sax. Also, there is still the unresolved issue of transactions dating back to that period. But Saxenapresents himself as blameless and chooses to put the onus entirely on his ex-employer. Despite repeated attempts, no official from Sun was available for comment.

Distributor demands payments

A close aide of Hansraj Saxena, film distributor R Ayyappan, on Monday filed a police complaint against Sun Group chief Kalanithi Maran and three others on charges of cheating and criminal intimidation. Saxena was with Ayyappan when he submitted the complaint to Chennai police commissioner S George. In his complaint, Ayyappan said he had been in film production and distribution rights for 20 years. He said he had secured the distribution rights for 17 films produced by Sun Pictures, and distributed them for screening, with an oral agreement of two per cent as commission per film. He said the Sun had earned nearly Rs 400 crore through screening of the films across the state but failed to pay the agreed amount to him and other distributors, which works out to Rs 24 crore. Ayyappan said he was forced to pay Rs 4.36 crore from his pocket to some distributors.

அதுகுறித்து கருத்து சொல்ல விரும்பவில்லை. இவ்வாறு கூறினார்.

Madurai Adheenam & Nithyananda’s petition dismissed

The principal sub court here on Saturday dismissed the petition filed by Madurai adheenam

Arunagirinatha Desikar, in his plea, had also requested the court to dismiss the case filed by the Department of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR and CE), seeking his removal from the Madurai adheenam.

Stating that HR and CE department’s earlier plea filed in 1984 to remove him from the mutt was dismissed in 2001, he said that the case before the principal sub court here should be dismissed.

Principal sub-judge K. Guruviah, however, noted that the HR and CE department had filed a petition to revive the case. Therefore, he dismissed Arunagirinatha Desikar’s petition. The judge also declined to issue directions to the sub-registrar of Madurai South to cancel the registration of the Trust formed in collaboration with Nithyananda.

Nithyananda, in an impleading petition, sought to name the HR and CE Commissioner and Madurai South sub-registrar as respondents in the Adheenam’s case. It was also dismissed on Saturday.

The HR and CE department has accused the Madurai adheenam of trying to amass the mutt’s wealth by bidding to sell the properties for a cheap price. Arunagirinathar did not get permission from the department before forming a trust with Nithyananda, said HR and CE Commissioner P. Dhanapal in a petition, through which he also sought Arunagirinathar’s removal as the Madurai Adheenam. The HR and CE department’s case has been adjourned to Monday.

Seer’s case adjourned

MADURAI, December 14, 2012

The Principal Sub-Judge here has posted the case filed by the Department of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR and CE) seeking the removal of the incumbent Madurai adheenam on Saturday for final orders.

Originally HR and CE Commissioner, P. Dhanapal, had filed a petition seeking removal of Arunagirinatha Gurugnanasambanda Desikar from being the head of Madurai adheenam for violating provisions of Tamil Nadu HR and CE Act.

According to the Commissioner, Mr. Arunagirinatha Desikar sold two properties belonging to the mutt at a lower cost in the year 1995. Besides, he formed a trust along with Nithyananda without obtaining approval from the HR and CE department, as mandated by Tamil Nadu HR and CE Act.

Therefore, Mr. Arunagirinatha Desikar should be removed from being Madurai adheenam and HR and CE department should be allowed to take charge of the mutt until appointment of a new head, it was prayed. Principal Sub-Judge K. Guruviyah, on Thursday heard the arguments of both the sides and posted the case for Saturday.

Meanwhile, the judge also adjourned to Saturday Arunagirinatha Desikar’s original suit to restrain Nithayananda and his followers from entering the 1500-year-old Saivaite mutt and to direct the sub-registrar of Madurai South to cancel the registration of the trust he formed in collaboration with Nithyananda.

The case was adjourned after HR and CE department’s counsel sought for time to file counter affidavit. Nithyananda had also impleaded himself in the case

Nithyananda Cheating: Hyderabad Ashram Donor

A generous soul Sujata Reddy donated to Nithyananda a beautiful & sprawling 5 acre Rajarajeshwari temple in Hyderabad. Not only land but she also donated to Nithyananda around 50 lakhs cash for running the temple, with the condition that the temple will be used for spreading Vedic traditions, starting a veda patashala, etc. Nithyananda promised to do all that, but instead turned it soon into a business proposition that earns him money. After the sex sanda in 2010, the donor Mrs. Sujata Reddy was shocked and disappointed, so she requested Nithyananda lto return the temple. In March 2010 Nithyananda returned the 50 lacks cash she had donoated, with a promise to return the temple soon. But later, he not only refused to return the temple, but also brought an injunction (court order) to prevent Sujata Reddy or any of her family members from even entering the temple. The donor died in grief that she coud not even enter the temple she had built with so much love and devotion. Now her son is continuing to fight the case in court to cancel the gift deed to Nithyananda. "Nithyananda, if he is a genuine Swami, should be gracious enough to return a gift if a donor feels unhappy. He should not wait for the court to force him to return it", says Sujata reddy's son.

Mind Control and Religion

Coercive persuasion is secular conduct. Insofar as it is recognized as coercion and "undue influence," it is illegal conduct. Prohibition of this specific conduct will protect the State itself and the free exercise rights of all citizens without infringing on the free exercise rights of religious organizations.

Coercive persuasion is antithetical to the First Amendment. It achieves much of the harmful result of fraud, false imprisonment, coercion, undue influence, involuntary, servitude, intentional infliction of emotional distress, outrageous conduct, and other tortuous acts.

Coercive persuasion is unfair manipulation of the biological and psychological weaknesses and susceptibilities of one's fellow men. It is an opposite to charity and kindness. It is a psychological modus operandi of a criminal or totalitarian society.

Coercive persuasion is not a religious practice. It is a covert control technology. It is not a belief or an ideology. It is a technological process that impairs rationality.

As a process it can be examined separately from any message content that may be associated with its practitioners. This is like examining the technical processes used in hypnotic induction separately from examining the meaning or value of any hypnotic suggestion given during hypnosis. Examining processes, never beliefs, will not violate anyone's First Amendment religious protections.

John Dewey believed that, "the human power to respond to reason and truth protects democracy." Any organization using coercive persuasion on its members that also claims to be a religion is turning the sacred trust and privileges of our democratic First Amendment sanctuary into a fortress for psychological assault. It is covertly twisting "religious freedom" to deny our more basic constitutional right to unfettered rationality in our freedom of thought and free will.

Freedom of religion cannot exist without first having an absolutely protected freedom of thought. Freedom of religion without freedom of thought is an absurdity.

"... [a] church cannot seek the protection of one constitutional amendment while it allegedly deprives citizens of the protection of other constitutional guarantees."

Danger of Cults is Growing - Part 3

Despite the human and societal damage caused by cults, few organizations exist to help prevent or lessen the damage. Until very recently, governments worldwide have not created systematic programs to respond to the problem. The work has been done by non-profit organizations and by people working on individual bases, studying the cult phenomenon, counseling cult members and ex-members, prosecuting those guilty of cult-related crimes and abuses, and educating others on the dangers of cults. The cult problem is growing quickly and is expected to accelerate as the millennium approaches.

Fortunately, for all its destructiveness, mind control can be diffused rather easily. Education is vital in helping cult members leave the destructive organizations they feel tied to. According to Dr. Singer, 90% of cult members, given the opportunity to take a few days away from the group to be given full information, consequently leave the destructive organization.

In recent months, other government organizations have also begun plans to address the cult problem. The European Parliament recently proposed solutions to the cult problem which focus on education and prevention. The United Nations Commission on Human Rights brought a Special Rapporteur to the United States in January to discuss dangers posed by cults. In April, the Belgian Parliament approved the establishment of a public Information and Advice Center on Harmful Cults. The center's purpose is to study cults, provide information and advice to the public, and set up a study center accessible by the general population.

FACTNet, as a nonprofit provider of solutions to cult and mind control problems, is extremely pleased that governments are taking initiative to actively address the cult problem, but is concerned that many people are still uninformed about the harms cults are capable are doing to their families and our societies. Please forward this notice to anyone you think might benefit from the information.

Danger of Cults is Growing - Part 2

Somber Statistics

While recent cult tragedies have received a great deal of media coverage, many facts regarding cults are rarely divulged to the general public.

• 
  

• Of the 912 People's Temple members who died in Jonestown, Guyana in 1978, 276 were children, and of more than 80 who died at Waco, Texas in 1993, 25 were children.

• An estimated 5,000 economic, political, and religious groups operate in the United States alone at any given time, with 2.5 million members. Over the last ten years, cults have used tactics of coercive mind control to negatively impact an estimated 20 million victims in the last ten years. Worldwide figures are even greater. [Cult expert Dr. Margaret Singer , Cults in Our Midst].

• The cult problem is so prevalent, the chances of a family member joining a cult are greater than a family member catching chicken pox, four times greater than contracting AIDS, 90 times greater than contracting measles, and 45,000 times greater than contracting polio. [Dr. Paul Martin, cult expert and director of Wellspring Retreat & Resource Center, Ohio, USA].

• 25% of the millions of cult members worldwide "will suffer enduring, irreversible harm that will affect their ability to function adequately in emotional, social, family, and occupational domains," according to Dr. Martin. For every person who becomes a cult member, many more are impacted; parents, children, other family, and friends suffer personal and often economic loss.

• Entire societies, numbed by coercive psychological influence, are more likely to allow large-scale tragedies. Perhaps the most devastating example is the Holocaust. Cult mind control is totalitarian, and as such is anathema to democracy. Democracy is founded on the principle that humanity is rational; for democracy to work, people must be capable of using their critical faculties. Mind control works by bypassing rationality and eliminating free will. Without free will, all other basic human freedoms, such as freedom of expression, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, become utterly meaningless. Eventually if left unchecked, mind control would destroy all basic human freedoms and ruin democracy.

• According to Dr. Martin, "Compared to other social or medical problems, the havoc created by destructive cultism is the most understudied, neglected, and ignored mental health and social problem in the world... If the symptoms exhibited in former cult members were attributed to a virus, it would be considered a worldwide epidemic."

Nithy's brainwashed telemarketers

This was an actual message left by one of Nithy's brainwashed telemarketers. See how he tries to lure past victims right back into the cult's trap. He uses lies, deceit, and YouTube videos. And, since 2012 is a hot 'spiritual' topic, Nithy exploits the fact that weak minds are already 'worried' about this hoax. Nithy will then try to capture a new audience through a combination of fear, greed, spiritual 'adventure', and false promises.

However, Nithy should be focusing on his own future. A lengthy prison sentence is 'in the stars' for him. One BRAVE victim has made an official criminal complaint. His other violent and greedy lieutenants are prison-bound too.

Please pass this video on to your family and friends. It just might save them from falling into a horrible and heinous cult.

If you are a victim of Nithy's telemarketing fraud, please report him to the FCC at these URLs:

Be sure to mention both of these organizations and their EIN (tax identification):

1. Life Bliss Foundation (where the YouTube Videos are)
