The New Indian Express negatively stereotypes Hindu Spiritual Leaders and denounces Sanatana Hindu Dharma

After months of poisonous defamation by the media mafia on His Divine Holiness, goes on to ‘incite hatred’, intolerance and ethical discrimination against Hindu . It categorically declares the intended result: the illegitimization of Sanatana Hindu Dharma and negatively stereotyping the Hindu Spiritual Leaders (Gurus) in Hindu community across the globe.

06 May 2010: A yellow journalist of The New Indian Express writes an article ​ dehumanizing His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. It is not a coincidence ​ to see several atrocious articles against His Divine Holiness come out on The Indian Express. It must be recalled that The Indian Express is not just another newspaper. The Indian Express is one of the main mediums that S. Gurumurthy used to dehumanize and persecute His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Yellow journalist Vasanth Kannabiran uses a perverted lies to incite ​ hatred and justifies the inhumane treatment and human rights violation on Him.

- Media repeatedly peddled the obvious falsehoods – denying the systematic persecution of Hindu Gurus; discarding their spiritual legitimacy to program that they are unworthy of the reverence from the Hindu community. - This slanderous article weaves several themes to demonize and Hindu Gurus.

Fact What was written in What it wants reader to news article believe - faulty generalization

Lord , the Lord Ganesha wears Divine Holiness, society worshipped Hindu deity son pantyhose will stop respecting of Lord Hanuman and Ganesh due to faulty generalization. A fabricated obscene video Vasanth Kannabiran Therefore treatment of His was made to attack His compares His Divine Divine Holiness worse than Divine Holiness Holiness to terrorist and a terrorist is justified. Paramahamsa Nithyananda cricket match fixer.

In reference to the fake video released on March 2, 2010, the Kannabiran begins the article by questioning, “Why should swamis be forced to be celibate? Were Nithyananda’s human rights to pursue sexual activity with a consenting adult and his right to privacy not being violated?”

The yellow journalist Kannabiran diverts the attention of the reader from noticing Human Rights Violation of His Divine Holiness by torture in prison to claiming that His Divine Nithyananda’s only human rights which was violated was right to have engage sex by consent. It plays down the entire happening and dismisses it as a case of “Ganesha wearing pantyhose.”

Without any hindrance, the author questions the practice and innermost workings of Sanatana Hindu Dharma, the oldest living group of religions on planet Earth. Without any effort to learn and express the correct terminology and science behind the practice, New Indian Express reporter throws misleading doubts against His Divine Holiness and what He stands for.

FACTS - His Divine Holiness has been a celibate since childhood. - Celibacy is the vital practice of brahmacharya, which means, "live like God" beyond the hormonal needs.

The author introduces His Divine Holiness as someone who assumes, “the garb of sanyasis (monks) which implies both celibacy and renunciation of worldly values and then proceeds to abuse women”. With these exact vulgar words, the reporter makes drastic generalizations based on completely false claims:

FALSE CLAIMS ● abusing several women and several rape accusers.

40

● citing a fictitious non-existent disclosure agreement that was never signed by His Divine Holiness or any real person dead or alive. ● making false claims that His Divine Holiness evaded taxes - which was a rumor completely fabricated by the media.

Finally, as a take-away from the entire article Kannabiran states, “We need to understand that greed, violence, hate and insecurity that cloud our minds cannot be dispelled by these creatures who sell god as a commodity to be conjured up by a few magic tricks”

● Stating, “He could be a IPL chief or terrorist” they painted His Divine Holiness as a public enemy, thus justifying His third degree torture in prison ● Creating images such as “Hanuman in underwear and Ganesha in pantyhose” to make a point is unnecessary gross abusal. ● Kannabiran thoroughly dehumanizes His Divine Holiness and his hard work for the spiritual and material enrichment of humanity, by diminishing Him as a “creature” and His work as a “magic trick”.

FACTS: - In this subtle and poisonous way, The New Indian Express created destructive faulty generalizations to incite hatred against His Divine Holiness. ​ ​ - Allowing such abuse and fear-mongering to go unchecked is a violation of constitutional rights. - No logic or reason comes in the picture. The intolerance this type of media breeds is something to be afraid of. - This is a clear violation of Article 11 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights under the United Nations - all persons are innocent until proven guilty; to crucify a man publicly without evidence is beyond morally wrong. It is equal to silently accepting a genocide in making. This also violates Articles 2 and 7, which secures that all humans have equal rights under the law, regardless of race, religion or belief.

Conspirator Poses as Victim in a Ploy to Attack His Divine Holiness

Lenin Karuppan, the implant of Hindu extremist groups, claims that a group of 15-20 female sanyasis (monks) were a threat to His life at a press conference, creating more justification propaganda against His Divine Holiness. The truth shows a cunning ploy to accuse and assassinate through poisonous defamation.

10 December 2010 - Disciples and devotees of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda heard that the conspirator Lenin Karuppan, was holding a press meet in Bangalore. This article claims numerous blatant lies.

42

FALSE CLAIM BY MEDIA: The article states that the press conference was interrupted ​ by 15-20 devotees, which included women and that Lenin stated that this incident, “proves there was a threat to his life” and “he is not safe….” FACT: ● A press meet can be attended by anybody. Disciples of His Holiness went to the press meet to hear what is being told to the press first hand instead of reading it in the papers later. ● A group of 15 female monks with one or two men were stopped from even entering the press conference and yet Lenin accuses that his life was threatened by this. ● When they arrived at the gates of the press club, they were denied entry. Without a bit of resistance, they turned around and started quietly walking back. How can a group of peaceful female monks (sanyasis) be a life threat to this Lenin? In fact, the police handled them very stiffly and forced them to leave for no reason!

The disciples walking into the Press Meet is deliberately portrayed as some attack! Innocent readers who are clueless about what actually happened will be programmed to believe this lie and demonize His Divine Holiness and His disciples, while conveniently ignoring the real life attacks done against His Divine Holiness.

This articles exposes the sinister design by Hindu Militant extremists to dethrone, deprive or dispose the Hindu community from their last bastions (the Gurus who strongly defend and uphold the Sanatana Hindu Dharma).

The article elaborates on the lies that Lenin has claimed:

● FALSE CLAIM: Article claims that Lenin alleges that His Divine Holiness used to beat his disciples with a stick. FACT: This never happened. In an spiritual organization that attracts thousands of followers every year from all over the world, there has not been any case of violence or inhuman activity ever spoken of. In a world of social media and instant communications, how can any uncivil activity stay hidden where several thousand people congregate? Only Lenin out of many thousands has accused this in years; while rest of the world celebrates visiting and residing at the Aaadhenam (temple monastery). Thousands of people worldwide have only shared their extraordinary experiences of healing and transformation done by His Divine Holiness.

43

● FALSE CLAIM: Lenin claimed that these cases were filed against him to psychologically attack him to make him withdraw the case he filed against His Divine Holiness. FACT: Today, Lenin is a convicted rapist, habitual offender and money scammer while his case against His Divine Holiness remains utterly unsubstantiated.

POISONOUS DEFAMATION

● This was a Justification Propaganda to poisonously defame His Divine Holiness further by demeaning His disciples. ● Hindu Gurus and their disciples have been slandered, thrown into jail and maligned to death, time and again. ● The hate propaganda against Enlightened Hindu Gurus and their disciples widely deterred masses towards universal spirituality propagated in Sanatana Hindu Dharma.

For a supposedly credible newspaper to publish such deceitful articles is the evidence of their co-conspiracy with criminals like convicted rapist, Lenin. They attacked the dignity of His Divine Holiness and his disciples as declared in Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by United Nations.

Scientific Recordings for well being rebuked as a ‘con, comedy and repulsive show’ Mainstream Media

When the media was invited by His Divine Holiness on the sacred day of Purnima (Hindu festival that reveres spiritual master) to witness the live scientific recording and research of ‘Activation of parts of the human brain through initiation into the ancient spiritual technique of kundalini awakening and Levitation’ (anti-gravity), they misrepresented it as a ‘con, comedy and repulsive show’ .

- The character assassination has been the regular practice in arsenal of the news media for psychological warfare against His Divine Holiness. - With the constant poisonous defamation of Hindu Gurus neither can lineages sustain nor can cultures survive. - When Yoga or any mystical Science was 'discovered' not only it was dissociated from Sanatana Hindu Dharma but also universal scientific philosophical system that encouraged open minded enquiry of the disciple with his Guru was purposely ignored. - Only Gurus can transmit spiritual energy to his disciple in infinite measure by initiations however they have been brutally attacked through scrutiny cynicism and falsehoods in last 2000 years. - Spiritual seekers around the world are experiencing levitation after being initiated by Paramahamsa Nithyananda. However, instead of reverence anti-Guru forces ridiculed Him as unbalanced, irrational. - The efforts of demonstrating ancient Vedic science in the language of modern scientific research were completely subdued in the mockery and ridicule of media-Hindu militant extremists’ anti-Guru agenda. - Media slanted His Divine Holiness for conducting ‘magic’ on female disciples with outrageously humiliating headlines.

15 July 2011 - ​

46

A team of qualified doctors, practitioners and professionals in medical research, in the area of neurofeedback and QEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalography) conducted Scientific studies on the Kundalini Awakening initiation process of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda at Nithyananda Peetham, Bengaluru Aadheenam. This is the first of many researches done on the phenomenon of Kundalini awakening, and manifesting the superpowers of Sadashiva (superconsciousness).

While the LIVE scientific experiments were done by the researchers on July 13th, 14th, and 15th, with the invited presence of several media houses, renowned researchers and doctors such as Dr. Krishna Rao and Dr. Kanak Pandey explained about their findings and read the readings of the live experiment on the 15th of July. The researchers as well as His Divine Holiness Himself made themselves available for the media to answer their questions.

The corrupt and inhuman mainstream media houses such as the Kannada news ​ channel Suvarna TV, Aaj Tak () News Channel, TV9 News Channels, which ​ telecast this event in multiple regional languages - ● Made a gross mockery of this scientific research and a hate comedy piece out of it. ● Did huge abusal to the whole scientific research and scientific faculty. ● Further they featured only the women visuals with dramatic sounds to sexualize the whole experiment using obscene narratives. For the audience this video news piece directly associated to all the other atrocity material in which His Divine Holiness is falsely sexualized. ● Showing the women while levitating, is programming public with sexual activity, which furthermore defames and instigates hate in people against His Divine Holiness and Hindu Gurus in general.

Aaj Tak, a popular Indian channel in Hindi language, took this opportunity only to defame His Divine Holiness further. The character assassination continues this way, further desentizing the public for His Divine Holiness and His tremendous good work for humanity.

Video Transcript: Aaj Tak focused mainly on women experiencing kundalini awakening and made mockery of it.

48

(In these videos from TV and TV 9 nothing is told about the research and its findings, only the women are shown in an abusive way while levitating during the scientific experiment)

49

Furthermore, to portray a celibate living Guru in association with sex, totally kills His character. Through this the UN Human Rights of freedom and human dignity (Articles 1 and 22) were again deeply violated.

FACTS The following is the actual purpose and outcome of the scientific study that was conducted. Its is ultimate irony that the media which was invited to cover the great scientific study to share the findings for the wellbeing of the society mocked and rebuked it, instead of sharing it truthfully for the betterment of the world.

Awakening by Paramahamsa Nithyananda

The Kundalini energy is our inherent peak potential energy lying dormant inside us which when awakened through powerful spiritual initiation processes as described in our ancient Vedic methods, evolves human beings to move towards Higher Consciousness. The study was conducted by research doctor and leading scientist Dr. Krishna Rao and Kanak Pandey, a neurofeedback specialist and practicing psychologist for the last 27 years. Kanak Pandey has been practicing exclusively in neurofeedback and QEEG for 10 years.

Background of the Technique

The Scientific methods used to quantify the above study were employed first by NASA while training fighter pilots and is now used worldwide to read brain wave signals and to interpret and help treat various brain/mental disorders as well.

Equipment Used for this research

The QEEG equipment is a sophisticated equipment approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and conforms to the CE Standards, is being used to record the brain waves. All data is being recorded on the Nexus 32 QEEG machine which is approved for the study. This equipment was operated by a team of trained technicians under the supervision of Dr. Kanak Pandey following all study standards.

In the Presence of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, the Kundalini Awakening Initiation was studied and recorded. While those who were experiencing the

50

Kundalini Awakening in Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s presence needed no proof as they were experiencing it in their own body, mind and consciousness, this study scientifically demonstrated the Awakening of the Kundalini Energy upon initiation by Paramahamsa Nithyananda, thus bridging Science and Spirituality.

Live Experiments on July 15th

While the experiments were being done to the satisfaction of the researchers on July 13th, 14th, and 15th, the experiment were conducted live in front of media houses as both Dr. Krishna Rao and Dr. Kanak Pandey explained about their findings as well as read the readings of the live experiment on the 15th of July. The researchers also made themselves available to answer questions from the media before and after the experiment. His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda Himself threw open the forum to all questions related to the process from any person from media.

Results

The actual observations were astounding and prominent. Dr. Kanak Pandey stated that in all her years of practising, she had never seen brain wave activity like in these experiments of Kundalini Awakening in the Presence of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Although the researchers were available all the time for clarification, the media misrepresented the entire study and experiments. Due to the importance of this research which was done by FDA standards, it was requested by the doctors that a regulatory body should look into this matter and rectify the reporting of this data. It was not understood by media how important this research is to mankind and the potential to help not only towards the CONSCIOUS growth for one’s own enlightenment, but also cure many brain/mental disorders in people. The media literally robbed the people of the wonderful opportunity of powerful ancient Vedic initiation process to uplift themselves. It is also worth noting that other research projects in relation to energy activation, meditation and yoga at Nithyananda Peetham have been approved by the Ohio State Medical School in the United States, and that serious research is in progress using well established scientific protocols. The results as well as the certificates of the researchers are produced below

‘News Minute’ publishes an outdated article on the falsified “sex contract”

Media puts forward false article to mislead common people creating an image of ‘Sex Swami’ for His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

- Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s envisions to synthesise and universalise Sanatana Hindu Dharma to give superconscious breakthrough to humanity and elevate it from its social, economic and spiritual crises. - This speaks volumes about the frequency and magnitude of character assassination propaganda against Him in mainstream media by Hindu militant extremists who aims to be sole authority for one billion Hindus all over the world. - Different Media propagates the same messages against His Divine Holiness so as make Hindus socially boycott Him by deviously proclaiming Him as a sex offender. - Character assassination is often used as part of framing media strategy to impact public opinion and emotion. - The character of every attacked Hindu Guru is assassinated with the most successful themes of ‘sex’ or ‘murder’ which register with masses easily, with the clear purpose of trashing the very lineage they represent.

The News Minute, 28th August 2017: The News Minute reporter makes outdated, false ​ ​ claims against His Divine Holiness.

FALSE CLAIM: The survivors of sexual assaults in 'Swami' Nithyananda's ashram have ​ spoken out about non-disclosure agreements and sex contracts. The chargesheet of the rape case against Nithyananda reveals that sexual exploitation was masked in the guise of a 'Learning from the Master' programme.

FACTS: ​ ● No such non-disclosure agreement exists. ● The entire itinerary of His Divine Holiness is available on nithyananda.org website as far back as 2004. There was never any program called “Learning from the Master”.

59

● Out of the millions of devotees that follow the teachings of Paramahamsa Nithyananda today, only two people who are criminals claim to have signed this contract. 1.) Vinay Bharadwaj, the convicted child rapist who spent 5 years in the highest security prison in the United States after which he was deported from the U.S and not allowed to return forever 2.) Aarthi Rao, the false rape accuser who has 4 STDs which were not considered once when she became a witness for the false rape case against His Divine Holiness ● Out of millions of devotees TheNewsMinute claim as though there are numerous people who have come forward...Such is the way of yellow tabloidism - which follows no line of facts and truth. ● This article is coming out seven years after the non-existent non-disclosure agreement failed to appear as evidence in the court as it was completely fabricated.

FALSE CLAIM: Affidavits and counter affidavits have been filed to delay the case. Though the complaint of rape was registered in 2009, the victim has been pushed from pillar to post, with justice delayed for eight long years

FACT: ● The affidavits which prove that a rape case against His Divine Holiness DOES NOT EXIST. Documents have been put forward as proof of this. They are the following: 1.) 4 United States based lab reports showing that the video released on 2 March 2010 to defame His Divine Holiness was indeed morphed 2.) Arathi Rao’s medical records, showing that she has 4 incurable STDs which can be evn transmitted through skin contact 3.) Potency test conducted on His Divine Holiness which show that he is 100% STD free and that he has the testosterone level equivalent of a 5 year old child, which makes Him incapable of the acts that Arathi Rao alleges 4.) Doctors’ affidavits stating that based on the potency test and Arathi Rao’s medical records, it would be impossible for His Divine Holiness to commit such an act which she is claiming

60

FACT: The article fabricates the victim’s suffering over a rape which does not reveal the gory violence, extreme brutality and life-attempts against His Divine Holiness that have happened countlessly in the last eight years.

FACT: The 8 year delay is mainly caused by innumerable failures to appear in ​ court on the matter of her false rape allegation against His Divine Holiness.

This article is a direct by-product of a current character assassination where two of the chief co-conspirators in the false charges against Paramahamsa Nithyananda of rape, unnatural sex and cheating, in connivance with sensation-hungry media, function to meticulously destroy His Divine Holiness and His Hindu organisation. Through this character assassination, human dignity to His Divine Holiness and other Hindu Gurus have been denied as declared in Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by United Nations.

2017-09-11 ​ Obscene headlines from Outlook Magazine that aim to character assassinate

Outlook Magazine encashes on the title, “Tantric Rites in Bed” and fictitious story in order to assassinate the character of His Divine Holiness as a spiritual Guru.

- Within ten years of public life His Divine Holiness was being revered as ‘God’ by some and hated as ‘sex monster’ by others. His immense popularity among masses and highest spiritual state made Him “Ideal Victim” of Character assassination campaign led by Hindu militant extremists forces. - An avalanche of false criminalistic allegations was descended on his budding spiritual community by unbridled, prominent and acerbic state sponsored Media. - An ad hominem fallacious attack on Paramahamsa Nithyananda to persuade vulnerable seekers to falsely conclude that He was diabolical and fraud. - Falsehoods were served to the masses by Indian mainstream media in a strong, theatrical manner to capitalize on their fear and confusion, - With the unthinking acceptance, the poisonous defamatory appealed to their lowest instincts and they succumbed to the conspiracy of Hindu militant extremists’ anti-Guru agenda. - The toxic media ecosystem made it almost impossible for His Divine Holiness to claim the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

FALSE CLAIM: Nithyananda, in 2009, had the other victim and rest of the ashram inmates to sign pre-dated non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) under which the disciples are expected to have tantric sex.

The news reported is completely false. False allegations directed to destroy the public image of His Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, incite hatred and justify the subsequent mob lynching attacks against Him. The Outlook news reporter conveniently ignored the following court-verified facts:

FACT: ● No such non-disclosure agreement exists

66

● Out of the millions of devotees that follow the teachings of Paramahamsa Nithyananda today, only two people claim to have signed this contract. 1. Vinay Bharadwaj, the convicted child rapist who spent 5 years in the highest security prison in the United States after which he was deported from the U.S and not allowed to return forever 2. Arathi Rao, the false rape accuser who has 4 STDs which were not considered once when she became a witness for the false rape case against His Divine Holiness ● This article is coming out 7 years after the non-existent non-disclosure agreement failed to appear as evidence in the court as it was completely fabricated

The article continues making more fabricated claims in order to build its story.

FALSE CLAIM: Eventually, following a Supreme Court directive, Nithi underwent a test. ​ A Bangalore hospital certified that he was not impotent and mentioned in its report that he did not cooperate when more tests were required, he adds.

FACT: ● In 2010, His Divine Holiness told the CID to do a potency test done on Him to show that He is not capable of any sexual act. However, the CID was not interested in attaining any facts and only in colluding with the media to create even more atrocious material against Him. ● The report published by Victoria Hospital clearly shows that His Divine Holiness has extremely low levels of testosterone which make him incapable of any sexual act. The doctors acknowledge this in the report. ● In order to force His Divine Holiness to have an erection, which was not produced even after showing Him illegal blue films, the doctors forced Him to take an injection which His Divine Holiness did not consent because the symptoms included cardiac arrest. Despite this, the injection was illegally administered. His Divine Holiness experienced severe pain and near fatal blood pressure. The unmonitored amounts of the injection was found to be a attempt to murder Him.

Further the article FALSELY CLAIMS: “After protests from the public and the state’s own HR&CE department, he was removed from the post after five months”

FACT:

67

● His Divine Holiness was appointed as 293rd Guru Maha Sannidhanam (Pontiff) of Madurai Aadheenam on April 27 2012. ● As per the regulations put in place for the appointment of this position, it cannot be removed once appointment has been given.

After so much of repeated lying the reporter dares to pose ridiculous questions, such as, “If he is innocent why is he delaying the trial?”. They even claim the fake, obscene video was proven real by unspecified labs.

FACT: ● Though the evidence is piling up showing that His Divine Holiness is indeed a victim of a huge conspiracy, because of repeated failures to show up in court by the so called victim, there has been a huge delay in the court proceedings. ● Four highly credential U.S. forensic laboratories proved by 60 technical points that the video was fabricated and provided affidavits.

Conclusion:

When even the CID officials and Indian courts are still working to get to the bottom of the conspiracy against His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, newspapers and television channels are running a media trial screaming with obscene titles trying to program people’s minds with false news about Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

In a violation of Human Rights as per the UN Declaration of Rights, specifically Article 1, the right to equality in dignity and rights, the mainstream media colluded with extremist Hindu-terrorist groups in the ultimate plot to murder His Divine Holiness.

Presstitutes Exposed - Fabricated Obscene Video never submitted at CFSL Labs (Central Forensic Sciences Labs) for Analysis - The brutal character assassination campaign produced by Hindu militant extremists against His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda is the direct testimony to the magnanimous spiritual legitimacy He established as a Hindu Guru among His followers. - The dark art of rumor-driven poisonous defamation was monstrously executed by Indian mainstream media. - The persecution when the ‘fake video’ went viral in mainstream media, fueling public hatred and internet made it a prominent international sex scandal. - The poisonous defamation campaign had sunk to the lowest depths possible when the slanderous false claims of ‘fake video’ being genuine were published with fake test reports.

69

- There were several other false accusations to defame His Divine Holiness however their reputational implications had far lesser gravity than those which were meant to sexualise His image. - The belligerent populist rhetoric, hate speech, and public insults portrayed Him permanently in the psyche of masses as ‘sex swami’ for years, perhaps centuries. - It subsequently destroyed His spiritual legitimacy among seekers worldwide and led to permanent displacement of His spiritual community.

Official Information from Directorate of Forensic Sciences - New Delhi (Documentary evidences) gave a SHOCKING revelation that the scandalous fake video on His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda was never even submitted at any of the Central Forensic Sciences Labs - CFSL - in India for Examination/Analysis. It has exposed and consolidated the role of Paid Media in the organised Media Trial against His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda and Sanatana Hindu Dharma.

On 22nd November 2017, All National and regional News Media had broadcasted a sensational defamatory false news that the “Controversial Sex Scandal Video portraying Nithyananda and Actress Ranjitha in a compromising position is true” and that “The Central forensic Labs (CFSL) of Delhi and Hyderabad had conformed in the Video Analysis Reports”. This defamatory and false news was also spread via Print media and Social Media Networks virally as a planned attack on His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda and Sanatan Hindu Dharma. To expose the false media trial, an RTI (Right to Information Act) application was applied to the 'Directorate of Forensic Sciences – New Delhi' on 23 Nov 2017, seeking information regarding the Analysis reports of Controversial Sex Scandal Video, portraying Paramahamsa Nithyananda and Actress Ranjitha.

CONCLUSION:

The Official Reply/Information from the Directorate of Forensic Sciences - New Delhi, via various CFSL Labs including the CFSL-Hyderabad and CFSL CBI-New Delhi categorically proves the following truth,

1. No video portraying His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda and the Actress had been submitted in any of the CFSL Labs throughout India. It proves the whole false 'Paid Media trial'. 2. The Hyderabad and Delhi Labs had also confirmed that no such information is available in their Labs. This proves that the fake and defamatory news broadcasted by the media mafia, is a conspiracy to assassinate against Paramahamsa Nithyananda. 3. Also, this proves that the planned attack against Paramahamsa Nithyananda and Sanatana Hindu Dharma was done by Extremist Hindu Militant Elements backed by the unethical and corrupt 'Paid Media houses'. The official documents from CFSL Labs have once again proved and exposed the conspiracy of False Paid Media Trial against His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

This revelation exposes the cunning criminal agenda of Paid Media Houses and the existence of international Extremist Hindu Militant forces whose vested interest is to destabilize Sanatana Hindu Dharma and eliminate His Divine Holiness.

Video Transcript Question: Swamiji you made a very big statement saying that the CD which was released was morphed but it was tested from the very reputed agency FSL in Hyderabad in Hyderabad, they say that CD is genuine

Swamiji: Can I answer two things, first chain of custody the no FSL lan can speak the authenticity of any video without having the clear understanding about the chain of custody when it was shot where it was kept see You can answer,yes

I would like to say a few things about the video. First of all many of you might be relying upon a CFSL report and we saying that if CFSL laboratory is confirming that this is authentic, this means authentic but unfortunately the CFSL laboratory should never have even touched this video because the video has a date on it.

That date happens to be 25th of December 2009 and the CFSL received the video some time in May and the Chennai police receive the video on 4th of March 2010. Between 25th December 2009 and 4th March 2010,nobody knows the whereabouts of this video and for any video to be called evidence there is something known as a chain of custody. A laboratory should be in the position to pinpoint where this video was between 25th of December 2009 and the 4th of March 2010. The laboratory

83

simply has no such information because nobody in the world knows where this video was doing what in that period. CFSL should have never touched this but having actually touched the video having actually given a certain report many things actually come into doubt. First and foremost what is the basis for CFSL to say that this is genuine because this is digital video you are dealing with digital video to speak of .Number one this is not analogue, number two-the authenticity of a distilled video is always open to doubt and question. It is only approximate and nobody can be certain, not even CFSL is certain and it would be inappropriate for anybody outside of CFSL to say that yes this is true. And also lawyers and forensic scientist in the United States are now going through this video they don't have the entire video with them, they have actually the clippings of the video and they are startled actually to find out that in India that thing like this is believed by the masses and they are saying that they will give an affidavit very shortly to say that video is only morphed.They are saying that the quantum of light actually generated by the video is the exact quantum that is necessary to morph the video and to create a reasonable doubt to the naked eye.So there are several inconsistencies that they have pointed out and unfortunately I cannot give you the exact inconsistency. But I will give you a reference,there is a timestamp in the video that time stamp says 8 o'clock in the morning but the video has an alarm clock,alarm clock says 11 o'clock in the morning.Now when video timestamp becomes 8 o'clock, if I go from 8 o'clock to 8:15 what do you think the alarm clock in the video should be displaying? 11:15 but unfortunately it does not display 11:15, it displays 3:30. Number 2, there is a network that is being shown, there is a television that is playing inside the video, there is a particular network actually that is playing on the television and the forensic scientist in the United States are now saying that they have ascertained that, that particular network never telecast that particular program on that day. But what they are all baffled with is that is the choice of the day 25th of December 2009 maybe we all miss the significance of that day because this is an arbitrary date, for a person who would morph actually any one of the 365 days in the year would be valid why on earth that they choose 25th of December 2009 or for that matter 25th of December. The lawyers, forensic scientists in the US are actually baffled they just don't understand, why 25th of December- all the dates in the world. Because they believe 25th of December is a sacred day for them. That's the birthday of Lord Jesus the Christ and there are furthermore inconsistencies. The video specifically, the charge sheet lists out the maker and manufacturer of the video. And the scientists in the United States they have been able to find out the speed at which the video shoots,it is something like 30 frames per second. And they say for a speed like this there is a table fan that is captured inside the video and they basically have calculated the speed of the blade within the table fan and they are saying when the video shoots at 30 frames per second and when a still is taken out of that video, the Blade should appear in a certain way but the blade is appearing in the exact,opposite way and these are the things that will be given later in the form of an affidavit for all those who would want to believe that the video is genuine. The video is not genuine and the

84

video represents an extraordinary digital manipulation. Because it is, if we want to believe yes they took 2 months, one might want to wonder, what was the video doing in those two months, In those 2 months and there are 7-8 other inconsistencies unfortunately I am not been authorised to divulge those inconsistencies at this point of time. But I just wish to tell you this, Hollywood would be delighted because it is believed that the people in the US are saying the video represents finest Hollywood work and all Hollywood labs would be delighted once basically they realise that people believe this is true, this is real that is all. Thank you.

News Minute Distorts and misrepresents the legal counsel of His Divine Holiness - The mainstream media became fertile ground for character attacks, incivility and deception against Paramahamsa Nithyananda. - Negativity became profitable for Indian media houses when gullible masses were polarized by poisonous defamation against Him. - Hence, creating a media environment where rumors, conspiracy, and character attacks on His Divine Holiness thrived. - A heavy dose of insulting language, name-calling, dramatic negative exaggeration, and mockery was fed to masses to poisonously defame His Divine Holiness. - Arguably, the high dosage of emotional influence in news coverage made character assassination campaigns acceptable by the masses and He was inevitably discarded by spiritual seekers.

85

In the false rape case foisted on His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, the false accuser Aarthi Rao changed her stand from 'rape' to 'consensual sex', the moment her statements were discredited by the US courts where she filed a similar false case against His Divine Holiness. Medical tests done on His Divine Holiness have clearly proven His impotency.

17 March 2018:

FALSE CLAIM: In this News Minute article, it shows as if the Counsel to His Divine Holiness made a statement deterring from the earlier statement of impotency to saying it is 'consensual sex'! It claims, ‘Nithyananda changes tune in rape case…’

FACT:

● His Divine Holiness has not changed His statements throughout the case. He has stated from day one of this false case that he is innocent. ● FALSE CLAIM: “In November 2014, the CID finally submitted the results of the potency test to the Ramanagara sessions court where it was proved that Nithyananda’s claims of impotency was false…..” FACT: This is a complete lie. The potency test results clearly prove the ‘impotency’ of His Divine Holiness: ● That he is impotent; Testosterone hormone levels at 12.5 ng/dl are ​ extremely low ● That male hormone level is that of a child ● That the male reproductive system itself has been unused for decades ● Psychological examination results show unresponsive to sexual urge, had no sexual activity during his lifetime, no history of masturbation, no wet dreams or erections. - World renowned doctors and medical experts have given their affidavits proving the clear impotency of His Divine Holiness. (Affidavit enclosed of Dr Robert De Lorento, MD) - The fact of the matter is, the false rape accuser Aarthi Rao is the one who ​ changed her words multiple times, finally alleging it was 'consensual', when she was not able to get any evidence or traction on her bogus claims of

86

rape. However, News Minute brazenly twists the story and spreads lies about His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda even quoting the

Attached is the letter from the advocate of His Divine Holiness, Mr. J. Elayaraj, who mentions that: ● It is complete misrepresentation of facts. ● The counsel never made a statement that there was a ‘consensual’ relation between the accused and the false rape victim Aarthi Rao. ● This was perversely distorted by the vested interests media to create a sensational news item to gain cheap publicity.

When people are continuously bombarded with such false information, they are programmed to conclude that Gurus are a threat to society and start harbouring animosity towards them, plaguing the public sentiment against all Hindu Gurus, legitimising religious persecution. This character assassination, a violation of the freedom and freedom to develop personality (Article 1 and 22 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights), is set up and persistently applied in such a way that it is bound to lead to physical assassination, which is the most extreme violation of human right of life and security (article 3 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights).

INCITEMENT TO HATRED BY MEDIA TIMELINE

From One Fake Video to 30 Tapes - The Blatant Lies in DNA Newspaper to Incite Hate

A yellow journal, DNA newspaper published blatant lies that 30 more tapes from Lenin Karuppan (the habitual sex offender and criminal) are sent to CID (Crime Investigation Department). Without any evidence or reliable source, the readers were programmed to make a faulty generalisation of ‘more tapes’, which did not exist. Poisonous defamation reached a new peak to incite hatred through outright lies and portray Paramahamsa Nithyananda as a gross criminal against public and His followers.

8 April 2010 - After over a month of the release of the fake video that was virally aired on Tamil television channels on March 2nd, 2010, the outright lie of the 30 more tapes was reported to completely weaken and polarize public opinion to ‘incite hatred’ against ​ ​ His Divine Holiness.

- His image of a celibate saint was systematically programmed in public eye as a sex pervert by using inflammatory language. - His immense popularity and prominence among masses was used against Him to grossly assassinate His character and distort His history.

Following this, a trial-by-media ensued as all types of accusations were hurled at Him, much like this article by DNA newspaper.

FALSE CLAIM: The article begins with a poisonously defamatory headline - ‘Nithya is entangled in more tapes’. The article goes on to claim that 30 tapes were sent to the CID. FACT: No other tapes were ever found, examined or produced before the court at any ​ point of time.

DNA has a readership of 15,06,000 readers in . With such a vast readership, DNA grossly violated journalistic integrity and commited the crime of programming millions of people against Hindu Gurus. Breaking all journalistic regulatory norms, this

3

newspaper sensationalises false news consistently to assassinate the public image of His Divine Holiness, isolating Him from His devotees and the public.

Through this character assassination, they denied the human dignity and the free development of the Personality of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa declared in Article 1 and 22 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by United Nations.

Black Propaganda to instigate destruction of Sanatana Hindu Dharma

Similar to the Nazi media during the Jewish Holocaust that abused and ridiculed the Jews for their biological inferiority, the New Indian Express creates sleazy satirical piece ridiculing the spiritual competence of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda and Hindu Gurus, to ‘incite hatred’ among millions of Hindus.

Ridicule to Ostracize His Divine Holiness 09 April 2010 - A satirical piece written by The Indian Express is nothing but a smear in the name of sadistic humour, against Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism). It is not a ​ coincidence to see several atrocity articles against His Divine Holiness from The Indian Express. It must be recalled that The Indian Express is not just another newspaper. The Indian Express is one the main mediums that S. Gurumurthy used to dehumanize His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. S. Gurumurthy is the mastermind behind persecution of His Divine Holiness.

- Criticizing one Guru is equal to criticizing the whole tradition of Gurus in Sanatana Hindu Dharma – seeing one Hindu guru in bad light generalizes the bad opinion to all gurus. During the Jewish Holocaust the Nazis media were relentless in publishing defamatory material to incite hatred towards the Jews and their religious leaders, which is now happening in a similar way to the Hindu Gurus through systematically targeting Paramahamsa Nithyananda. - Dehumanizing language was used to falsely prove His spiritual incompetence, further aiming the cultural genocide of Sanatana Hindu Dharma.

This article is a piece to a larger puzzle to humiliate and trash the very name of ‘guru’ and ‘Paramahamsa Nithyananda’ and incite mass hatred against them for centuries to come. And like the decision to hunt down and kill the Jews, the propaganda in India is being strategically used to justify the same deadly & violent acts against Hindu gurus, violating even the most basic of UN Human rights, including the Right to Freedom & Equality (Article 1) and No Discrimination (Article 2, 7). To some, these articles may

5

seem funny and light, but in actuality, this kind of humour and informal tone has the most powerful impact in influencing any reader’s mind.

DNA Maliciously Manipulates Public Opinion on Paramahamsa Nithyananda

DNA chooses an opportune time to post an opinion on celibacy and spirituality, positioning His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda as an enemy of the human family thereby inciting public hatred. An obvious effort to sway public opinion against Him. The article also discounts the Indian Judicial System.

16 April 2010 - Paid media is successfully doing its job of generating and spreading ​ atrocity material on Sanatana Hindu Dharma and its Gurus. As part of the criminal

6

conspiracy against His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, a 'scandalous' fabricated obscene video on Him was created and circulated in mass media. Referring to this and clubbing it maliciously with a child molestation crime related to a Catholic Priest, DNA publishes an opinion piece with the headline, "keep celibacy and spirituality separate".

The atrocity of the media does not end here. The media house is hand in glove with child rapist Vinay Bharadwaj who had raped daughter of a temple priest belonging to Hindu temple of Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Vinay was successfully escaping justice with the help of media.

The Indian media sides with a child rapist glorifying him and victimizing His Divine Holiness and his disciples. Later in 2017, one such media house Samaya TV was penalized to a tune of $5 Million by a US court for its atrocious lies of glorifying child rapist at the cost of justice. ​ Such a characterless media, so inhumane that it would go to any extent even siding with child rapists, even fearless to incur such huge losses in lawsuits, one is left wondering what kind of demons run mainstream media!

Media engages in 'faulty generalization' purposely to wrongly convey to readers that ​ ​ the news about Paramahamsa Nithyananda is true, which is not the case.

● Another deliberate attack this article does is the casual dismissal of the Indian Judiciary! The writer states that when Catholic priests are able to get away with such acts in more robust legal systems, one can only imagine how easy it may be for Hindu Gurus to get away with their crimes in a country like India!

This directly attacks the credibility of the Indian Judicial System.

DNA, 16 April 2010: Keep Celibacy and Spirituality Separate

By defaming His Divine Holiness, the basic Human Rights of freedom and equality and free development of personality (Articles 1 and 22, Universal Declaration of Human Rights) are blatantly violated.

- The high level of state-sanctioned hate propaganda in media was to distract public opinion and to justify the continuing denial of the fundamental human rights of His Divine Holiness. - Discrimination, hostility, and religious hatred was purposefully incited by falsely associating His Divine Holiness with supposed crimes done by spiritual figures. - By deploying the tactic of connecting Paramahamsa Nithyananda together with completely unrelated crimes of Churches, made masses to discredit both. - Negative stereotyping by gross distortions of the image of His Divine Holiness and Hindu Gurus is being implanted among, discouraging masses to follow Sanatana Hindu Dharma.

Deccan Chronicle loses credibility with its yellow journalism, publishes blatant lies

Through a blatant defamatory article title, Deccan Chronicle exposes its malicious intention to viciously propagate baseless lies through any extreme means to incite public hatred on His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

20 April 2010 - What gives Deccan Chronicle the authority to so grossly mislead the people thereby overstepping every single ethic of journalism? Who is behind such a blatantly abusive title? It is a known fact that in the complaint filed against Paramahamsa Nithyananda, there is not even the word 'rape' mentioned, nor a single ​ victim named. ​

- Deccan Chronicle grossly misuses its outreach. The absurdity of the complaint was that it was accepted without a victim. If there was a supposed “sex racket” in the ashram, shouldn’t there be at least one victim immediately coming forward? - Why would the CID keep advertising on television and newspaper asking for a victim, and even promising travel fare for those who came forward! - Through this title, it is clear that Deccan Chronicle is on a specific agenda of running a character assassination campaign against Paramahamsa Nithyananda, manipulating the minds of lakhs of vulnerable people, as instigated by Hindu extremist groups.

Not only the title but the whole article is overflowing with BIG LIES, to name the most killing ones:

- Claiming about sex with devotees, not sparing young men. - Claiming a non-disclosure agreement (sex agreement) exists. - Claiming that spiritual powers are promised for a sexual relationship. - Claiming that the CID has examined over 120 witnesses.

9

All of these are completely false and non-existing! They are cooked up in a Hindu extremists mind to finish His Divine Holiness’ character among masses and instigate the utmost deep hatred in people against His Divine Holiness. Big lies with abhorrent accusations were invented about the religious values and weaken the religious faith of the masses on Sanatana Hindu Dharma.

Facts:

- As part of the false rape case trial, His Divine Holiness voluntarily has undergone a potency test. The test results clearly show, as accepted in Court, that His Divine Holiness’ male hormone - testosterone level was only 12.9 nanogram per deciliter compared to a normal male adult having 1200 ng/dl and is therefore not capable of the sexual act. - As a Sanyasi (hindu monk) Divine Holiness lives a celibate life and promotes this lifestyle as the royal way to enlightenment. - As a part of premeditated campaign to create hate campaign against Paramahamsa Nithyananda, they wanted to destroy Sanatana Hindu Dharma worldwide by sowing the seeds of pessimism and hatred towards it.

By these blatant lies Paramahamsa Nithyananda is completely dehumanized without any regard for even the fundamental human rights of freedom and free development of personality (articles 1 and 22 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights).

Obscene Character Assassination of Paramahamsa Nithyananda by DNA

DNA smears vicious vulgarities to execute character assassination on His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Their utter insensitivity and demoniac intentions towards vulnerable readers is exposed through such irresponsible and unethical journalism.

22 April 2010 - DNA Newspaper continues its brazen character assassination against ​ His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, slandering Him as ‘sex tainted Swami’. Extreme hate speech and obscenity are used to incite public hate against Him in a tactic called “programmed confusion”. By consistent hate speech, the strategy is to silently distort his history as a ‘spiritual leader’ and emotionally program mass hatred on a ‘sexual person’.

FALSE CLAIM: The article alleges several distorted and manipulated statements. It ​ says Paramahamsa Nithyananda was “absconding” and uses headlines like ‘game over for sex tainted Swami…….” which is a direct attack on his dignity.

FACT: His Divine Holiness had made a clear statement that he was in Kumbh Mela for ​ spiritual purposes, and even gave numerous interviews throughout his trip which were telecasted on National television channels! Will an absconding person present himself to media and to a world’s largest gathering of people in Kumbh Mela? Is there no sanity to DNA Newspaper’s crafted stupidity!

Public hostility was incited by creating virtually every poisonous propaganda to present Him as a fundamental threat to society. These lies publicized in the media is a violation of Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as recognized by the United Nations, specifically, violates Article 11, the right to be innocent until proven guilty and Article 22 which is the right to have security of dignity.

Media attacks to incite hatred with groundless perverted lies

‘The Times of India’ Newspaper publishes false derogatory allegations regarding a fake non-disclosure agreement, accusing illicit relationship with devotees to condemn the motives of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda and discredit His earlier contributions. The hype, hysteria and sensationalism in the media served the attackers agenda to pose Him as a major threat to society.

By blatantly abusing the sanctity of the Guru-disciple relationship, the foundation of Sanatana Hindu Dharma, they attack and challenge legitimacy of His Divine Holiness as a Hindu Guru.

23 April 2010 - Riding on the wave of media persecution targeting His Divine Holiness, ​ The Times of India joins the bandwagon in publishing defamatory news breaking all the five core principles of journalism - namely, truth & accuracy, independence, fairness & impartiality, humanity and Accountability. Talking about a fake agreement accusing His Divine Holiness of being in multiple illicit relationships with His devotees is purely false and baseless. It is a direct attack to tarnish the character of His Divine Holiness. Isolating Him away from His followers is to execute persecution on Him and His followers.

FALSE CLAIM: Existence of Non-disclosure agreement about Tantric practices ​ between Paramahamsa Nithyananda and those who volunteer for his programs.

FACTS: ● The non-disclosure agreement is nonexistent ● Only two people in the whole world who claim to have signed this agreement is convicted child rapist, Vinay Bharadwaj and false rape accuser Arathi Rao

14

● They conveniently show a cropped shot of the agreement which does not even feature anyone's signature to shock the public with fictitious evidence. ● Nowhere is any signature found on the so-called "agreement" by His Divine Holiness or any real person.

Times of India, 23rd April 2010: The Times of India strategic fabrication of documents ​ signed for attending a program

After quotating the fictitious document, the article goes extremes in making up ‘big lies’ claiming their source as the CID.

FALSE CLAIM: “Most of those who enrolled for this program were women.” FACT: The program they are claiming is non-existing as well as the non-disclosure agreement which they claim to have signed

FALSE CLAIM: “CID Sleuths had watched a CD with more than 35 video clippings of Nityananda in compromising positions with at least five women….”

15

FACT: No such CD ever existed or exists till date. Lenin Karruppan, the habitual sex ​ offender, who was the man who morphed the first and only video, even made a statement to Deccan Herald that that he did not have any such footage.

Despite the obvious fallaciousness of this contract, the Times of India newspaper intentionally pass obscene details from it to clout the opinion of their millions of its daily readers.

Subjecting His Divine Holiness and His followers to not be able to practice their beliefs, religion and worship, thus violating Article 18 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).

Bangalore Mirror Dehumanizes His Divine Holiness on the Front Page

The newspaper used BIG LIES with headlines like ‘club class to cattle class’ creating a peak hate perception in the public that all practices in the ashram are associated with sexual perversion and demonize Him. It kills the image of Paramahamsa Nithyananda to reinforce Him as the ‘criminal’. This systematic “incitement to hatred” by media-police-state nexus was done no matter how ridiculous, contradictory and poisonous it was.

23 April 2010: This article makes baseless, unverified, inauthentic claims on ​ Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In 2010, a fake video of Paramahamsa Nithyananda was aired in the Sun TV and multiple other media houses and was continuously being aired as a part of the character assassination attempt on Paramahamsa Nithyananda. The fake video has been proven to be false by several renowned forensic labs. Why are all ​ ​

16

these points being ignored by Bangalore Mirror? Such media headlines all contribute to the elimination strategy to annihilate Him invoking mass social boycott.

- By titling articles as such, the media relate His Divine Holiness to “cattle” class with the purpose of degrading. This is a denigrating statement to Hindu ashrams that they are brothels. - The depth, breadth and vitriolic nature of this anti-Guru propaganda, twisted and spun utterly false allegations of sexual nature and made it believable, especially to a population without access to alternative points of view. - His Divine Holiness and His minority group was completely denied access to any form of media that would allow Him to explain or rebut the baseless accusations against Him.

The article makes atrocious false claims excelling in mythmaking stories:

- FALSE CLAIM: that Paramahamsa Nithyananda took charter flights across the country when He travelled, then ridicules him for travelling in an economy flight during his illegal arrest. FACT: Untrue, he did not ever travel by charter flights, nor is this information ​ relevant news in any way.

- FALSE CLAIM: Paramahamsa Nithyananda being linked to the IPL Controversy ​ happening at the time. He surrendered so that he could avoid cropping up in media reports to avoid being linked with the IPL controversy. They even go so far as to say his own devotees tipped off the police about his location to protect any more media controversies. FACT: Completely false claim, “Big Lies” to present a lie so colossal that no one ​ will believe it is untrue and force people to believe it.

❏ The non-disclosure agreement, which the reporter is referring to, is non-existent. There are only two people in the whole world who claimed to have signed this: (1) the first person was the fake rape accuser, Aarthi Rao (1) the second, the fake rape accuser, Vinay Bharadwaj who was a convicted four-time child rapist, imprisoned for 4.5 years. Both of these people were thoroughly discredited by various court verified evidences from the United States for their false allegations and fined over one million dollars each for their crimes. ❏ It is important to question: why would somebody commit a crime and purposefully leave a piece of evidence which would incriminate

17

them? Who would benefit from the NDA if it existed? Only the false ​ rape accusers - so they forged some documents and publicized it in the ​ media to destroy His Divine Holiness and the entire mission, and what He stands for.

- FALSE CLAIM: 30 clippings were found showing Paramahamsa Nithyananda ​ with several other female devotees FACT: No such CD or tape was ever found till date. There is no clipping as this ​ never happened.

This is a blatant violation of Article 1 and 22 of the Universal declaration of Rights, the right to equality in freedom and the right to social security.

Bangalore Mirror Publicizes Lies about Nonexistent Non-disclosure Agreement

Baseless allegations is published in Bangalore Mirror. It makes blatant claims of serious nature without any evidence, clearly inciting hatred. Media portrayed itself as a well wisher trying to enlighten masses about the so-called abhorrent criminal activities of Hindu Gurus in India. Sexual themes was designed by media attackers to clearly inflame the sensibilities of Hindus.

23 April 2010: The Bangalore Mirror publicizes malicious lies of serious nature against ​ Paramahamsa Nithyananda in an effort to execute relentless persecution in the media and posionsiously assassinate the character of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. The article claims two BIG LIES:

1. An agreement named Non-Disclosure Agreement, supposedly signed by volunteers at the Nithyananda Ashram (monastery) in Bengaluru. 2. Central Investigation Department (CID) sources giving a statement that there are videos of Paramahamsa Nithyananda with different girls.

FACTS - Both are blatant big lies. - There was no agreement named Non-Disclosure Agreement as this media house is claiming. It is a lie. - There was one fake video manufactured in an attempt to attack Paramahamsa Nithyananda. That video has already been proven bogus and false by Top

19

Forensic Experts of USA by 60 technical analysis points with numerous technical evidences. - Any fair examination would have revealed that allegations were wholly false and an obvious attempt to make distorted memory etched programmed in the masses about Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

The “Big Lie” Propaganda Technique

A big lie (German: große Lüge) is a propaganda technique. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously". Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany, ​ ​ Joseph Goebbels the Propaganda minister, consolidated the Big Lie Propaganda technique as, “The essential English leadership secret does ​ not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.”

The BIG LIES were created just to destroy the character of Paramahamsa Nithyananda as a spiritual guru and incite mass hatred against Him. The baseless allegations made in the article violate human rights as per the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, specifically in Article 11, the right to innocent until proven guilty.

Sadistic Reporter from Bangalore Mirror Violates Basic Human Rights

Bangalore Mirror mockingly reports His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s need to be hospitalized. A disguised story by media in an erroneous mocking, and degrading manner to incite public hatred among masses. The prolonged opposition forced on Him, exposes the officially sanctioned incitement of hatred against Him, to desensitize the masses about the inhuman torture the State Police gave in the prison.

On 28th April 2010, Bangalore Mirror published an article on the incident of His Divine ​ Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda being hospitalized after various police atrocities were made to keep him unlawfully imprisoned. It was a case of Intolerance and overt discrimination of His Divine Holiness as a spiritual leader of a minority group. A thinly veiled attempt to deflect the violent atrocity on His Divine Holiness in prison. It clearly exposes the flood of hate propaganda of media.

FACTS: The inhumane circumstances suppressed by the media led to a number of serious and dangerous health concerns for His Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. The merciless environment led to severe chest pains for Him, to the point where He had no choice but to be hospitalized while under the illegal custody.

FALSE CLAIM: They make a statement - “the swami’s hopes of staying in the hospital..” FACT: This is a completely cooked up false story. ​ - FALSE CLAIM: The article claims that after a private talk with his lawyer, Paramahamsa Nithyananda complained of chest pain - making it seem as though it was a clever ruse planned by His lawyer and Him. FACT: It was a medical condition that needed to be addressed. There was no ​ motive otherwise.

22

His Divine Holiness has been denied of a number of basic human rights as per the Human Rights Acts including the Right to Justice (Article 8, 10), no Arbitrary Arrests (Article 9) and Right to Life & Security.

Inhuman Torture in illegal custody - CCTV Video Leaked Deviously from Police, Supplied to Media to Incite Hatred

In 2010, His Divine Holiness was illegally arrested after a fabricated obscene video was released. The intention was to assassinate His character generating consistent and high volume of media atrocity material to incite public hatred against Him - to justify silently assassinating Him during custody. His Divine Holiness underwent third degree torture at the hand of State Police to force a false confession. The entire episode was captured by CCTV cameras and a part of the footage was purposefully, deviously leaked in the media.

The MEDIA-POLICE NEXUS Conspiracy

1. His Divine Holiness was illegally arrested with one and only one purpose - to assassinate Him. 2. A direct assassination at the hand of the Police would have had a serious social-political-legal backlash. It would make His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda “a hero” even in the eyes of the most well programmed enemy, His worst critics. The Police-Media nexus of conspirators could not take that risk. They needed a Silent Assassination of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, along with programmed public hatred and persecution on Him. Following were the methods: ​

Assassination Method Justification / Cover up Media story

Mob lynching in crowded place Character Assassination Take His Divine Holiness in a public place where a huge crowd (with The murder by a specially appointed assassin would be assassins implanted amongst them) gathers around Him. One of those presented as a case of lynching by a furious upset mob. A assassins would actually kill Him and vanish into the anonymity provided mob composed of devotees who were hurt. Then Police by the huge crowd. and conspirators would put the blame on a chosen

25

scapegoat (who could be devotee). The mob which was made of conspirator’s own people would naturally give a statement putting blame on the scapegoat and wipe their hands completely off the incidence. That scapegoat might fight a legal battle lasting for two or three decades while the society completely forgets this incidence.

Torture leading to suicide False confession and suicide The police tortured His Divine Holiness in following ways (1) no food, no The police would justify and cover the entire happening water for eight days (2) use of shrill scratching loud sounds of tile cutting by claiming that His Divine Holiness confessed and machine running continuously for more than 8 hours (3) use of ice and cold acknowledged to all allegations and eventually committed water to wet the floor where he sleeps (4) use of poisonous food with suicide owning to the guilt. It is to engineer this false excessive salt and giving water if and only if He agreed on false confession that the CID leaked as part of the interrogation confession. However much to their dismay His Divine Holiness endured a tapes and Times Now and other News channels aired the week without food and water (5) use of heavy strobe lights which audioless tape on which they placed their own subtitles fluctuated and are known to cause neurological and psychological which were “falsely presented as a confession of crime.” breakdown and epileptic fits. Most techniques used did not involve direct physical involvement because they leave evidence on the victim which can even be shown in the court of law, for example marks of being beaten on skin.

Poisoning Guilt leading to suicide The police poisoned using two methods - food and air. His Divine Holiness The police-media planned a cover up story. The took saw a rat eating the food and dieing which was sufficient for Him to know away His Divine Holiness’ rudraksha mala (worship that He needed to avoid that food. Second method they used was rosary beads) which was extremely sacred to Him. The poisonous dust to cause asphyxiation. His Divine Holiness was left rudraksha rosary beads were given to Him by His helpless to cover His mouth and wait for the next day to come, not masters. He carried it throughout His days of spiritual knowing if He would be able to come out or the torture would continue for wandering days when He begged and lived. The police many many days. snatched away the sacred mala and claimed that His Divine Holiness was trying to use it for committing suicide. They knew that His Divine Holiness would go to any extent including pleading in the court of law for the mala. This action they would use to claim that His Divine Holiness was trying to commit suicide and inspite of they trying to save Him, He wanted to die to save Himself from the guilt of having committed the crimes. This was CID’s cunning plans to kill Him and show it as a suicide.

Encounter Self defence The two encounter methods the police employed for assassination was, It would be claimed that the other person (could be a claiming that the victim (of encounter) was actually attacking a policeman policeman or another prisoner with whom the police or another prisoner and in self-defence the other killed him (the victim of would barter a easy bail) killed His Divine Holiness in self encounter).

3. As already explained above it is for use in “False confession and suicide” assassination justification strategy that this false news was published. Times Now and other news channels used their massive public outreach to implant the idea into the minds of millions that the His Divine Holiness had confessed - which was not true! It was a justification for the planned assassination which was to follow.

The Contents of the false confession video tape leaked by manipulating clips of the interrogation video: Following are the several media coverages about the CID leaked videos of the Illegal Custody and the interrogation of His Divine Holiness, which was deliberately shown on mainstream media.

● Heavy lights ● Undue ‘Noise’ levels ● Water mixed with Ice on bare floor ● Forced starvation and dehydration - No food or water for 8 days.

He was made to sleep on a floor which was done wet with ice water. Not allowed to sleep by the continuous shrill sound of cutting tiles.

A “ Criminal Investigation Department Interrogation” or a “Staged Encounter”?

Even after eight days of third degree interrogation, CID (criminal investigation department) was not able to force false confession out of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. The cunning plan of Criminal Investigation Department was an interrogation, through which His Divine Holiness is forced to ‘confess the lies dictated by them, and they would leak the video.

- The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) hired an agency to design a clean interrogation room specifically for their purpose of illegally leaking it out. - INTERROGATION ROOM MADE WITH HIDDEN VIEW ROOM: In the work order given to the agency by CID, it was told to design two rooms: an interrogation room and a viewing room. While it is clear the interrogation room is for His Divine Holiness and the police, the viewing room is not seen in the footage. Why? What was the need to hide it? If there was such a room made, who was in it? Were the conspirators in it, directing the interrogation with their vested interest questions? Because by now it was evident that the nexus involved virtually all the elements - the politicians, the police, the Criminal Investigation Department, the media and the Hindu extremist militant terrorist groups, each for its own vested interests.

32

The work order was the proof that CID had plans to torture him to make a false confession of crime so that they could destroy him.

The CID interrogation room had been specially created, with a special secretive work order. In the work order for the interrogation room, it was described that there should be enough space for 17 cops, how the light is to be “really harsh” and the “room ​ ​ should look real drab” and how “freaky matrix movie look” had to be avoided. ​ ​ ​

MEDIA CHANNELS VIOLATE LAW BY TELECASTING PRIVATE INTERROGATION VIDEO; POLICE BUY MORE TIME TO TORTURE AND DETAIN HIS DIVINE HOLINESS ILLEGALLY

The Media had grossly violated the Indian judiciary laws as per the various section of Evidence Act 1892, Section 204 - destruction of evidence etc.

Right after 3rd May 2010, news channels repeatedly telecasted the interrogation confidential video in the media. What were the consequences of the illegality done by the police?

The CID (criminal investigation department) had claimed that His Divine Holiness was not cooperating with the investigation which was used to buy more time to detain Him in illegal custody and torture Him further.

33

Newspaper coverage on the CID interrogation does not cover any of the torture that His Divine Holiness was given.

34

The thieves who were framed by the Criminal Investigation Department faced custody for crimes they never did.

35

Two men who worked for the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) were framed for stealing the CID interrogation and leaking it to the media. The torture that His Divine Holiness went through was never told to the world.

The New Indian Express negatively stereotypes Hindu Spiritual Leaders and denounces Sanatana Hindu Dharma

After months of poisonous defamation by the media mafia on His Divine Holiness, The New Indian Express goes on to ‘incite hatred’, intolerance and ethical discrimination against Hindu Gurus. It categorically declares the intended result: the illegitimization of Sanatana Hindu Dharma and negatively stereotyping the Hindu Spiritual Leaders (Gurus) in Hindu community across the globe.

06 May 2010: A yellow journalist of The New Indian Express writes an article ​ dehumanizing His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. It is not a coincidence ​ to see several atrocious articles against His Divine Holiness come out on The Indian Express. It must be recalled that The Indian Express is not just another newspaper. The Indian Express is one of the main mediums that S. Gurumurthy used to dehumanize and persecute His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Yellow journalist Vasanth Kannabiran uses a perverted lies to incite ​ hatred and justifies the inhumane treatment and human rights violation on Him.

- Media repeatedly peddled the obvious falsehoods – denying the systematic persecution of Hindu Gurus; discarding their spiritual legitimacy to program that they are unworthy of the reverence from the Hindu community. - This slanderous article weaves several themes to demonize Hinduism and Hindu Gurus.

Fact What was written in What it wants reader to news article believe - faulty generalization

Lord Hanuman is highly Lord Hanuman wears The author justifies it’s revered deity in Sanatana underwear atrocious content claiming Hindu Dharma that because of the fabricated footage of His

37

Lord Ganesha, the Lord Ganesha wears Divine Holiness, society worshipped Hindu deity son pantyhose will stop respecting of Lord Shiva Hanuman and Ganesh due to faulty generalization. A fabricated obscene video Vasanth Kannabiran Therefore treatment of His was made to attack His compares His Divine Divine Holiness worse than Divine Holiness Holiness to terrorist and a terrorist is justified. Paramahamsa Nithyananda cricket match fixer.

In reference to the fake video released on March 2, 2010, the Kannabiran begins the article by questioning, “Why should swamis be forced to be celibate? Were Nithyananda’s human rights to pursue sexual activity with a consenting adult and his right to privacy not being violated?”

The yellow journalist Kannabiran diverts the attention of the reader from noticing Human Rights Violation of His Divine Holiness by torture in prison to claiming that His Divine Nithyananda’s only human rights which was violated was right to have engage sex by consent. It plays down the entire happening and dismisses it as a case of “Ganesha wearing pantyhose.”

Without any hindrance, the author questions the practice and innermost workings of Sanatana Hindu Dharma, the oldest living group of religions on planet Earth. Without any effort to learn and express the correct terminology and science behind the practice, New Indian Express reporter throws misleading doubts against His Divine Holiness and what He stands for.

FACTS - His Divine Holiness has been a celibate since childhood. - Celibacy is the vital practice of brahmacharya, which means, "live like God" beyond the hormonal needs.

The author introduces His Divine Holiness as someone who assumes, “the garb of sanyasis (monks) which implies both celibacy and renunciation of worldly values and then proceeds to abuse women”. With these exact vulgar words, the reporter makes drastic generalizations based on completely false claims:

FALSE CLAIMS ● abusing several women and several rape accusers.

38

● citing a fictitious non-existent disclosure agreement that was never signed by His Divine Holiness or any real person dead or alive. ● making false claims that His Divine Holiness evaded taxes - which was a rumor completely fabricated by the media.

Finally, as a take-away from the entire article Kannabiran states, “We need to understand that greed, violence, hate and insecurity that cloud our minds cannot be dispelled by these creatures who sell god as a commodity to be conjured up by a few magic tricks”

● Stating, “He could be a IPL chief or terrorist” they painted His Divine Holiness as a public enemy, thus justifying His third degree torture in prison ● Creating images such as “Hanuman in underwear and Ganesha in pantyhose” to make a point is unnecessary gross abusal. ● Kannabiran thoroughly dehumanizes His Divine Holiness and his hard work for the spiritual and material enrichment of humanity, by diminishing Him as a “creature” and His work as a “magic trick”.

FACTS: - In this subtle and poisonous way, The New Indian Express created destructive faulty generalizations to incite hatred against His Divine Holiness. ​ ​ - Allowing such abuse and fear-mongering to go unchecked is a violation of constitutional rights. - No logic or reason comes in the picture. The intolerance this type of media breeds is something to be afraid of. - This is a clear violation of Article 11 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights under the United Nations - all persons are innocent until proven guilty; to crucify a man publicly without evidence is beyond morally wrong. It is equal to silently accepting a genocide in making. This also violates Articles 2 and 7, which secures that all humans have equal rights under the law, regardless of race, religion or belief.

DNA Yellow Journal in a criminal Media-Police Nexus, manufactures false statements

In a desperate attempt to persecute His Divine Holiness, the police denies His Divine Holiness the basic religious rights of carrying His sacred rudraksha. While the Media assassinates His character, calling him a normal man shouldering their claim by an unnamed, uncredible investigator or by some CID source. This Media-Police Nexus operated with criminal agenda to eliminate His Divine Holiness from human history. - In a shameful attempt to instill a lifelong hatred among the masses against His Divine Holiness, he was portrayed as mentally ill and depressed thereby refuting His higher spiritual state. - Dehumanizing impact of hate propaganda against Him resulted in criminalization of His Humanitarian activities. - Such hate campaigns are among the foremost predictors of actual violence against Hindu Gurus and ultimately precursors of cultural genocide of Hindus.

6 May 2010

FACTS:

● FALSE CLAIM: The articles makes unwarranted statements such as, “Meanwhile, investigators said that Nithyananda was a normal man...”, headline as “the tainted swami is a man, after all……” FACT: There are no investigators. What is the basis to define a ‘normal man’? This obscene statement is baseless.

● FALSE CLAIM: He has confessed that he experiences sexual urges once in while. During such times, he adopts a yoga posture ……... a CID source said. FACT:

41

- There is no confession from His Divine Holiness about His gender or sexuality. This is completely false. From his childhood, His Divine Holiness is a born celibate monk, is an irrefutable truth established from His spiritual traditions and also proven medically and scientifically. - Psychological examination results show unresponsiveness to sexual urge, no sexual activity during his lifetime, no history of masturbation, no wet dreams or erections. So, where is the question of sexual urges? Why will a candid reader just trust the unnamed uncredible ‘investigator’ and believe the lies to defame the purity of His Divine Holiness? - As a leader among Hindu Monks, His Divine Holiness has been elected as the spiritual leader (MahaMandaleshwar) for MahaNirvani Akhada (the oldest apex body of Sanatana Hindu Dharma) leading 10 million celibate monks. It is even medically proven that his whole male reproductive system has been unused for decades. (Refer: potency test reports) ​ ​ So, conclusively, the media making such unwarranted lies using the name of Police, proves the criminal Media-police nexus to persecute His Divine Holiness, who go to any extent of lies and cunning killings with the pen or power, unduly misusing the media and government power and authority given to them.

● FALSE CLAIM: In an extreme desperate measure to persecute His Divine Holiness, DNA attacks His spiritual strength showing Him as weak and demoralized. They claim, “why the Swami’s rosary seizes, sources said that the Godman has said he felt “demoralised” after being shown as a criminal. “The chain” was strong enough to strangulate himself, they said. FACT: ● RIGHT TO PRACTICE RELIGION: His Divine Holiness is born in the sacred Adi Shaiva lineage of Sadashiva and as a Hindu spiritual leader and Monk, he is officiated to practice His religious rights and thus, carries his sacred items such as the Rudraksha Mala (rosary). ● In not a single instance, has His Divine Holiness shown any signs of losing calm and composure throughout the inhuman persecution. In fact, he has been His natural self, healing and blessing humanity and demonstrated His highest spiritual attributes of being beyond the lower human emotions, of non-violence, of living the spiritual truths, uncompromisingly. (He chose not to eat anything than eat the impure non-veg food given to him. He upheld his truth even while forced into false confessions through third degree tortures). One look at His powerful body language is enough to prove this.

42

Throughout the illegal custody whenever His Divine Holiness was in public, His bright smile that beams forth from His eyes, tall shoulders proving the spiritual strength, and powerful persona is visible to any onlooker. Will a weak, demoralized person have this body language after such massive 50 life-attack attempts, inhumane treatments and relentless persecutions? A “normal person” will be depressed, media shy and ​ expressing a body language of shame, hurt, deprivation and isolation. So, the false claim of ‘suicidal’ tendency is refuted!

His Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda during the illegal arrest smiles and strides forward in divine confidence

43

File photo: His Divine Holiness during the illegal arrest, shines forth with His bright benevolent smile, as the tensed police force look on.

● If the Police is so responsible for protecting the life of His Divine Holiness, then why did they enforce a third degree inhuman torture on Him to literally kill him? ● SPIRITUAL STRENGTH FOR MILLIONS: How can a person who is the source of spiritual strength and solace for millions of people feel ‘demoralized’ to the extent to strangulate himself? There are upteen testimonials of His Divine Holiness healing and giving breakthrough to several thousands. His spiritual strength and a lifetime of intense training have been evident to millions who awaited His one darshan (vision) and blessing.? The truth is that after his illegal arrest, His spiritual strength brought thousands of people to help them remove their own physical and emotional disorders. If a person is traumatized by ‘being shown as a criminal,’ will he even go back to public life and give spiritual breakthrough to many thousands worldwide?

The Media-Police nexus contrived to deny the basic human rights of His Divine Holiness to freely practice his religious rights to psychologically torture

44

Him at the pretext of this ‘suicidal’ paranoia as a justification propaganda to - isolate and confuse his own followers, so as to destroy Him first by taking away His most sacred spiritual practices.

Media-Police nexus violated the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the right to independent and impartial fair trials before accusation (article 10) and for the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion,” (article 18).

DNA, 6 May 2010: Without a medical test or any substantiated evidence, DNA Newspaper made false claims. It is an example of criminal Media-Police Nexus.

Media maliciously sustains ‘criminal face’ to His Divine Holiness overriding even judiciary

Media presents the corrupt CID (State Police) officials as dutiful, trying to detain a heinous criminal while blaming and stigmatizing His Divine Holiness, to justify their actions as preemptive measures in public interest. The newspaper ‘incites hate’ focusing on community-wide implications; raises doubts on the spiritual legitimacy to destroy public faith in Him.

THE FACTS The bail order for His Divine Holiness clearly says that owing to the magnitude and dimension of the case investigation, the court does not feel it appropriate to grant bail to His Divine Holiness. (extract of court order is enclosed below).

FALSE CLAIM: The Media twist The ‘magnitude and dimension’ is because of the way the false case has been built up, with a heavy volume of allegations, which makes it heavily investigation-prone.

● The article is deliberately taking the name of the prosecution and claiming, that if His Divine Holiness is let out, He may influence the victims! ● And further, the title of the article has itself been maliciously coined as if it is a CONCLUSION that ‘if He is let out, He will influence victims!’ Even when the judiciary did not mention a word or imply that He may influence victims, the ​ ​ media is deliberately portraying His Divine Holiness as a criminal who may tamper with witnesses, titling the article itself with this made-up LIES! ● In reality, there are no victims. When CID (criminal investigation department) was questioned by the court about not having any named victims in the case, they ​ frantically made a plea to the public in newspapers for a victim to depose. No ​ victims came forward as it is a fake case. After keeping Him in prison illegally for ​ 53 days without a victim, the courts ordered Paramahamsa Nithyananda to be released.

47

It is clear that the main motive behind such spiteful headlines is 1. To delay the bail granting for His Divine Holiness to keep him physically isolated. 2. To deem Him guilty in the minds of all its readers, even before the judiciary has started any solid investigation of the case.

The nexus between the media, police, judiciary and Hindu extremists is more than obvious in this article. By posting such fallacies, Deccan Chronicle aims to make Paramahamsa Nithyananda a public enemy who should be boycotted and eliminated.

Media turns Mafia - Attacks Spiritual Seekers and families, incites hatred for Hindu Spiritual Masters

When the religious persecution went public, a disciple monk was forced to go home to her family. Inciting hatred, this article exacerbates anger, rage, cynicism and bitterness among spiritual seekers and their families for Hindu Gurus by falsely depicting their actions as wrong, destructive, or indefensible. Reverence and devotion for the spiritual master, the center of Hindu tradition, is castigated as conflictual having selfish motivations.

Nakkheeran Magazine, 30 June 2010: Devoted to Nithyananda, girls petition CoP against parents

30 June 2010: In the year 2010, religious persecution oN Paramahamsa Nithyananda forced many of the residents of the Aadheenam (monastery complex) to return to their pre-monastic homes. The Aadheenam was being attacked, the living quarters of residents were being burnt, the monks were being brutally beaten, and the women were being abused. In this environment, several residents has no choice but to return to their families, until things settled down. Ma Nithya Preetananda Swami, who was a Sanyasini-in-training at the time. For safety ​ purposes, Ma Preeta and her sister returned home temporarily. When Ma Preeta Swami ​ reached her home, her family gave their unconditional support and gave freedom to go back to the Aadheenam whenever she wished to. They extended their support for her at this difficult time and prayed that Paramahamsa Nithyananda should come out of this life attack on Him and His organisation soon.

Media Programs Family Members into Threatening their Daughter

As the days passed by, the relentless and continuous media attack which incited hatred on Paramahamsa Nithyananda started effect Ma Preeta Swami’s family. They began to question their belief in Paramahamsa Nithyananda, slowly falling for the media’s tactics of inciting public hatred. On one side, Ma Preeta kept emphasising on the brutal attacks being done to the innocent residents of the Aadheenam, and the murderous life attempts on His Divine Holiness. On the other side, the media kept plugging in false stories into the minds of their viewers, portraying His Divine Holiness as a malicious sex offender.

50

Ma Preeta Swami recalls,

‘When Swamiji was illegally arrested, I saw the news on the TV. I wasn’t able to express any emotions in front of my family. I went to the restroom and cried without anyone’s knowledge.’

Nakkheeran Magazine - Blackmailed her family with life threats

The systematised isolation being done to His Divine Holiness began happening to Ma Preeta Swami and her sister as well. Blackmail and threats came from major media houses to stop her from supporting His Divine Holiness in his innocence.

One day, when Ma Preeta’s uncle returned from his workplace, she noticed that he looked sad. She asked him what had happened. He answered that one of the ex-devotees of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, named Ramesh, had threatened and blackmailed him.

Ramesh had said,

‘Do not support or follow Swamiji. If you continue to support him, we will ​ ​ publish a defamatory article about your daughters (referring to Preeta Swami and her sister).’

Preeta Swami boldly said,

‘Don’t worry about us. Just be there for Swamiji. He will protect us.’

However, the very next day, Nakkheeran published a poisonous defamatory article about Ma Preeta and her sister. Once it was published, their family was extremely upset. At this point, her entire family’s stance on them returning to the Aadheenam had changed. They informed Ma Preeta Swami and her sister that they were absolutely banned from ever going back to the Aadheenam or to Paramahamsa Nithyananda again.

51

52

Media Attacks Force the Two Sisters to Fight Parents Legally

When the first poisonous defamatory article was published in Nakheeran Magazine, Ma Preeta Swami was in Chennai. After this, she visited Kanyakumari (Temple town in South India) for a family function, and there she was accosted by local thugs, who said to her:

‘Oh, you can be with your Swamiji, then why can’t you stay with us too!’

Unable to stand this sexual abuse, she and her sister decided to immediately head back to Chennai, while their parents decided to be in Kanyakumari for a few more weeks.

Once back in Chennai, her parents started to call them continuously and demand about their life plans and told them they cannot return back to the Aadheenam. Her parents were following the news published in newspapers and on TV continuously and becoming paranoid about their daughters. Their father told them:

“You both have to come to Kanyakumari, otherwise I will give a complaint to police, saying Swamiji kidnapped my daughters! I will send you two to prison and ​ say that Swamiji kidnapped you!”

Ma Nithya Preetananda Swami reflects over this and shares,

“When my father was saying this, I knew clearly that he would do it. Our family was well known in our local community and whatever my parents would say, people would believe. The Police would do anything my father told them to. My father had a plan to put me in prison for six months. He wanted to put me in fear so that I would not go back to the Aadheenam again.” ​

She took the courage and decided to give a police complaint against her parents. They managed to draft their complaint letter. She recollects a few words from the original complaint draft,

‘We are legally major. My parents are forcing me to get married. I’m not interested, please protect me from them. I am a Brahmacharini of the Nithyananda Order and I

53

wish to go back to the ashram. If my father gives any complaint against Swamiji, please do not accept it.’

Ma Nithya Preetananda Swami and her sister packed all their belongings that day and escaped from their hostel to go to the lawyer’s office. They knew that as soon as their parents found out, they would rush back from Kanyakumari and take action against the two sisters.

“Meanwhile, my other family members found out that our bags were not in the hostel ​ room, so they called my parents to Kanyakumari and informed them. My parents immediately came to Chennai. I immediately called my mother and told her that since my sister was working a night shift, we would return home late. However, knowing this is a lie, my mother said that she would wait till the following morning. If we did not return, they planned on going to the police.”

The lawyer told Ma Preeta and her sister to stay in his office till the next day. Ma Nithya Preetananda Swami continues:

“We agreed and the next morning, we went to the commissioner’s office and gave our complaint to him. He was the same person to whom Lenin Karuppan (one of the conspirators against His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda) gave his complaint against Swamiji to. Unknowingly, I gave my complaint to the same commissioner.’

The Sub-Inspector was sympathetic at first, until he read His Divine Holiness name on the complaint. He began to shout

‘Are you mad? Your Swamiji is a womanizer and you want to go to him? If your father will give a complaint to me, I will put you in prison’.

Ma Preeta became angry and told him:

When some stupid guy is giving you a CD, you believe him but when I am telling you directly that Swamiji is not like that, why are you not believing me? And now you are even threatening me?”

54

The Sub-Inspector told Ma Preeta that he had recorded everything that was said and that they would imprison her for what she told the commissioner. When she left his office, the press was already there.

The next morning, the episode was published in all newspapers and magazines in Tamil Nadu. The article title was ‘Nithyananda’s disciple gave a complaint to the ​ ​ commissioner”, making it falsely seem as though they filed a complaint against His ​ ​ ​ Divine Holiness.

Hounded by the Media, Not Allowed to Live in Peace

Their father gave a complaint to the police against His Divine Holiness regarding the two sisters.

“We went to Mylapore police station and we explained what was really happening. We were constantly hounded by the media for interviews. They followed our every step. With the help of devotees, we made it back to the Aadheenam safely, and continue our choice to live as Sanyasis.”

Relentless Attacks by Yellow Journalistic Tabloid

After this, Nakkheeran published another article about them, saying they returned to the Aadheenam out of fear. False statements given in the Nakkheeran article : 1. Claiming that out of fear they both went to Swamiji. 2. Claiming that the two daughters of Sivabalan were kidnapped. 3. Claiming that the two daughters were hypotized, that’s why they still want to go back to ashram.

Role of The Media

During pre-independence era, the role of the media was the voice of the unheard. But now, we see the Indian media engage in extortion, blackmail, paid-news, and attacking the monks by manipulating and misrepresenting and blaming the very people who were brutally attacked. They cast a doubt on the value, and significance of the Guru and typecasting the sacred principle as treacherous.

In the case of Ma Nithya Preetananda Swami, as per the laws laid out by the United Nations, the police authorities denied her right to recognition as a person before the law (Article 6) and the media directly violated that no one shall be subject to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation (Article 12).

Making Mockery of Hindu practices: Tactic to Spread Hindu-phobia

Bangalore Mirror actively spreads Hindu-phobia among Hindus by mocking Hindu traditions and debasing them. The unreasonable, abusive tone of mainstream media directly invoked hatred in general public towards the greatness of our indigenous Hindu culture. The Media backed by the Hindu Militant extremists trivialized, distorted and ridiculed the experiences of devotees of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, which were based on ancient Hindu sciences.

58

24 July 2010 - The media houses, namely Bangalore Mirror, is spreading the Hindu-phobia across all the nations where Hindus are the majority. They mock everything that is associated with Sanatana Hindu Dharma. Debasing the Hindu rituals and age-old traditions that have been proven scientifically to be effective seems to be an active job of these media houses. They completely fade out the benefits received by billions of people worldwide by practising the Hindu traditions and blow up a fabricated story completely demeaning them. Shockingly, they seem to do this only to Sanatana Hindu Dharma, funded by Hindu Extremists!

Cultural Genocide Mainstream media ridicules the beliefs and rituals of billions of practising Hindus. Downplaying the scientifically proven benefits of these rituals and creating fabricated stories around them is what it does to divert them. It is a concentrated and systematic effort to eradicate Hindus from their homeland - Bharat (India)

On 24th July 2010, ● Bangalore Mirror has published an article making fun of the age-old tradition of Hindus taking snana (holy dip) in the sacred waters of Vaidya Sarovar (sacred water body revered by millions) at the Nithyananda Peetham, Bengaluru Aadheenam. Even the description of the sacredness of the Vaidya Sarovar by Paramahamsa Nithyananda is ridiculed.

59

Bangalore Mirror, 24 July 2010: Bangalore Mirror mocks sacred practice of taking bath under Ananda Linga ( 21 foot linga made out of medicinal herbs in Bidadi)

Subjecting an entire race - to go against their original beliefs by ridiculing them is the focused effort made by the media to divert them from their own religion. Cleansing and cultural genocide is being tirelessly done to Sanatana Hindu Dharma to completely eradicate an entire religion itself. This act is a violation of Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which states that everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion.

Attack on Sacred Guru-disciple Relationship: Hindu Cultural Genocide Propaganda by Media

Indian Express, as part of the large hate propaganda toward His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda spreads BIG LIE about Him. They heinously paint the Guru-disciple relationship as harmful and destructive, derogatorily dehumanizing the great Indian ethnic history of over 60,000 years of sacred Guru tradition.

- This article falsely portrays disciples as irrational and brainwashed creatures and His Divine Holiness as apathetic demonic Hindu Guru. - Hate propaganda to depict the image of His Divine Holiness and other Hindu Gurus as authoritarian, deluded hypocrites and downright psychopaths; thereby urging seekers to denounce them.

61

Indian Express 9 December 2010: spreads hate propaganda against Hindu Gurus (and Sanatana Hindu Dharma) to portray them negative, chaotic and backward in the view of the masses.

09 Dec 2010 - Practising Hindus have become a minority in India and, those who are part of the Guru-shishya parampara (Guru-disciple tradition) are even lesser in number, making Sanatana Hindu Dharma foreign to Hindus themselves. Many Indians lack the understanding or interest in their own traditions. In the absence of a counter narrative to the media propaganda, when media makes egregious claims about Hindu traditions, people are inclined to believe them and hate their own sacred traditions that has kept their ethnicity alive.

When Indian Express published this absurd article about His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda abusing His disciples, Hindus should have been up in arms about this misrepresentation of the sacred Guru-disciple relationship. However, because they do not even understand it themselves, they believe only what they read and hear.

Sanatana Hindu Dharma has three pillars which has kept the whole Indian culture and its traditions alive for more than 60,000 years:

1. Guru disciple lineage ( parampara ) Example - Kashmiri (on verge of extinction)

2. Gurukul Education System Example - Nayi (Extinct Indian surgeon community)

3. Temple based civilization Example - Priest community of various ancient temples (on verge of extinction)

62

Effect of destruction of the Gurukul Education system With destruction of Gurukuls, the vocation based communities disappeared. It resulted in a major socio-economic implosion. For example, the collapse of Gurukul Education system resulted in a ​ collapse of healthcare facilities in India during the last two centuries. W Adam for example in his report (year 1830) describes the Thana of Nattore in the district of Rajshahi – The population was 1,20,928; ​ ​ ​ it had 485 villages had 123 native general medical practitioners, 205 village doctors, 21 smallpox ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ inoculators, 297 women-midwives In modern India, in 1973, the Kartar Singh Committee of the ​ ​ Government of India had recommended that there should be 1 midwife (Auxiliary nurse midwife – ​ ​ ANM) available per 10,000-12,000 people.For Thana of Nattore as surveyed by W Adam, the ratio was ​ ​ amazingly 1 midwife per 408. This is 2456% more than what the government is recommending in ​ ​ ​ ​ the modern era. This shows that the availability of health care specialists was amazing. In modern era ​ the child mortality rate in India is extraordinarily high, at 48 per 1000, for year 2015. The reason for high ​ infant mortality rate is destruction of the medical education system as part of destruction of Gurukul education system.

Effect of meditation on homicide and crime rate In 1960, Maharishi Yogi predicted that one percent of a population practicing his meditation would produce measurable improvements in the quality of life for the whole population. This phenomenon was first documented in scientific research in 1976 when it was found that when 1% of a community practiced Transcendental Meditation, the crime rate was reduced by 16% on average. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/24/AR2010052402210.html

The destruction of guru-disciple tradition and temples is likely to result in increased in legal and illegal drug consumption, increased crime rate and suicide rate. The conspiracy spearheaded by S. Gurumurthy involves making Sanatana Hindu Dharma guruless. It is not a coincidence to see several atrocious articles against His ​ Divine Holiness come out from The Indian Express. It must be recalled that The Indian Express is not just another newspaper. The Indian Express is one the main mediums that S. Gurumurthy used to dehumanize His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. It can be recalled that S. Gurumurthy was the mastermind behind persecution of His Divine Holiness.

Indian Express, under Gurumurthy completely distorts the sacred guru-disciple relationship by saying that Paramahamsa Nithyananda abuses His devotees. The intention it to spread distrust and hatred towards Hindu Gurus, directly leading to a Hindu society which can be easily controlled by the Hindu extremists militant groups.

63

Cultural Genocide

In Sanatana Hindu Dharma, Guru-disciple relationship is the most sacred, as it is the primary mechanism to transfer great spiritual truths and traditions. By condemning this relationship, they are effectively promoting religious discrimination leading to cultural genocide of this tradition. They are violating the rights of His Divine Holiness and His to practice their belief system, thus violating Article 18 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by the UN.

Two Mainstream Media Giants present opposing stories, manipulating words of His Divine Holiness

Two major print mainstream media giants, ‘The Times of India’ and ‘The Hindu’ present completely opposing news stories - manipulating and misrepresenting the words of His Divine Holiness to systematically ‘incite hatred’. One news says,”Yes, It was me in the Video”, another says , “It wasn’t me in the video”.

- Attacking the reputation of Hindu Gurus, using character assassination is a widespread strategy to incite hatred for centuries. - Several Hindu Gurus have been wrongly attacked with a single theme of being sexual perverts and embroiled in horrific exploitation of their own followers. - Incitement of hatred for Guru-disciple lineage is also with the purpose of uprooting the revival of monastic (Gurukul) education system which used to enable transmission of enlightenment science to the next generation.

02 February 2011

The Times of India

❏ FALSE CLAIM: “Yes, it was me in the video!” ​

64

FACTS: ​ ❏ This is a lie. His Divine Holiness never said or confessed that it was him in the video. In fact, it must be noted that it is this TIMES NOW Television (which is part of the Times Group) that ran a criminal agenda to defame His Divine Holiness. While Times Now had promised a live telecast, it aired the recorded interview ​ with its own superimposed false texts, reaching completely fabricated content to the many millions on national mainstream media. It was not until ​ the interview was filmed and broadcasted across national television, that the diabolical intentions of Times Now Television were known.

❏ This was misrepresented as a completely fabricated line that it was Him in the ​ video which cunningly overshadowed His words and made the viewer ​ pre-suppose that He is confessing.

The Times of India has a large circulation of 2.7 million people daily, having a strong influence on the opinions of masses. Irreparable damage was done to the social reputation of His Divine Holiness with this article. This is a direct violation of Article 12 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights which protects every person from attacks on their honour and reputation.

The Hindu

- FALSE CLAIM: His Divine Holiness is “playing the minority card”. ​ - FACTS:

❏ When asked about why anyone would target him, Paramahamsa Nithyananda explained that he is the head of a minority religious group, and a unique part of the main Sanatana Hindu Dharma (Hinduism). ❏ However, this statement is portrayed as “playing the minority card” – where it is implied that the minority status is being exploited by Paramahamsa Nithyananda to excuse Himself from the allegations against Him.

This proves that ‘The Hindu’ has vested interests in inciting mass hatred amongst its elite readers. His Divine Holiness is reputed as a powerful Hindu spiritual leader. This article attacked His image and hurt the religious sentiments of millions who follow and revere him.

65

The Hindu has a large circulation base of 1.2 million copies after Times of India, nationwide. In South India, it is has the largest circulation base. The damage done to the social image of His Divine Holiness is vividly reflected in the outreach ‘The Hindu’ has.

Both these article are the proof of orchestrated attacks on Paramahamsa Nithyananda, executed by the mainstream media in collusion with Hindu Extremist militant groups to assassinate His character, promoting public hatred against Him.

Sathya Sai Baba's Death Ridiculed by NDTV. Abuses Hurled at Paramahamsa Nithyananda

Brutal attack by NDTV, a media house, with a malicious news item about His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda's visit to Puttaparthi to offer His respects to the late (the great hindu incarnation revered by millions). This article is nothing but a ‘big lie’ of hideous exaggerations abusing two spiritual leaders and to incite conflict and hatred among their followers. To use one Guru’s death as to ridicule another, is to rub salt into deep, hurting wounds of millions of followers and to incite hatred amongst each other.

- Sanatana Hindu Dharma has perpetuated mainly through the sacred lineages of spiritual Gurus. They are not incidental but an integral part of the Indian ethnic system. Therefore, an all-out attack on the very institution of Guru lineage is as good as an outright attack on the core aspect of Sanatana Hindu Dharma. ​ - In every hate propaganda by Hindu militant extremists-Media nexus, the Hindu Gurus are attacked as sexual perverts and criminals while presenting their followers as naïve, gullible brainwashed people. - Hate mongering Hindu Militant extremists are paving the way for endless mayhem and havoc in the world, especially for Hindus by such vicious attacks. - Stereotype versions of fraud Gurus is being used to proselytise ardent believers and followers of the great Guru lineage.

27 April 2011 - There is no limit to the abuses hurled at Paramahamsa Nithyananda, as ​ media insulted and abused Him, even while offering His respects to Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba out of His devotion and close spiritual association.

The loss of such an Avatar, who entered into MahaSamadhi (ultimate liberation) on 24th April 2011, was keenly felt all over the world, and Paramahamsa Nithyananda had every right to offer His respects and love to him.

FACTS:

68

Even prior to starting His organisation, Paramahamsa Nithyananda had ended His 9-year long parivrajaka (spiritual wandering) with a visit to Puttaparthi. In that visit, Sri ​ Sathya Sai Baba had insisted to give sacred golden padukas (sandals) to His Divine ​ ​ Holiness which were actually made for Sathya Sai Baba himself. Later, on 12th June ​ 2004, Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba personally sent and gifted three divine items to His Holiness Paramahamsa Sri Nithyananda, formally coronating him as The Avatar (reincarnation) as per Sanatana Hindu Dharma. This is the closeness and ​ divine relationship that they shared for years.

Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba had coronated His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda with the rare divine items - Swarna Padukas, two sacred sandals made of ​ ​ gold and Kirita - the divine crown made of gold, which formally symbolizes and officiates ​ ​ His Holiness as the Avatar - the direct physical manifestation of superconsciousness. The President of the Shri Sathya Sai Trust, along with a group of devotees of Bhagavan Sathya Sai Baba had visited the Bengaluru Aadheenam, Nithyananda Peetham on 12th June 2014 and reverentially performed homa, the ceremonial sacred fire ritual and Paduka Puja, the offering to the sacred sandals, and made these divine offerings of Swarna Padukas and Kirita. ​ ​ ​

Following are the pictures taken on 12th June 2004 on this divine occasion of coronation of the Avatar at Bengaluru Aadheenam, Nithyananda Peetham by the devotees of Bhagavan Sathya Sai Baba:

Bhagavan Sathya Sai Baba and his spiritual organization have offered the highest spiritual recognition to His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. This leaves no question of hostile reception of His Divine Holiness or not allowing him access during the last rites ceremony as falsely stated by NDTV. The abominable lies that NDTV news spread such as - “he wasn’t allowed through VVIP entrance..”, “Baba's family members ignored his presence...”, “He even pleaded with the family members to allow him to enter through the VVIP entrance, but they did not agree.." is totally false. The whole occasion is used to belittle ​ Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Even in death, Hindu Gurus do not get the respect they deserve, nor the privacy to visit a close spiritual leader who has passed on.

NDTV deliberately attacks the character of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, crossing the line of basic journalism ethics by using hate speech, disrespecting both the spiritual leaders revered by millions worldwide.

73

This is clear media mafia propaganda by extremist Hindu groups to eliminate Hindu Gurus, the upholders of Sanatana Hindu Dharma.

respects to Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba at Puttaparthi.

PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA PAYS RESPECTS TO BHAGAVAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA

Paramahamsa Nithyananda today visited Puttaparthi and paid his last respects to Bhagavan Sri Sathya Baba, who entered into Mahasamadhi on 24th April 2011. He was received by the senior members of the organization.

Speaking to the media on the occasion, Paramahamsa Nithyananda recalled the exceptional spiritual and humanitarian services rendered by Baba to the world. “(Baba’s) contribution to the Vedic tradition is unimaginable. He is God incarnate. We offer our humble respects to him. Though Baba is not in the earthly frame, his presence will always protect his people. We pray to him that he blesses all his devotees to continue the service and his mission,” said Nithyananda.

A Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam spokesperson also added that certain sensationalist media had tried to create a controversy around Nithyananda’s visit. “It is unfortunate that even at a time like this, certain media are trying to pitch one spiritual organization against another, but fortunately they are not successful. Nobody can destroy our sacred Vedic tradition.”

Suvarna TV, a Media Mafia Intensifies Public Hate - enables BIG LIE strategy of Hindu Militants, presenting a false rape accuser

An instrument of the Hindu extremist militants, one Aarthi Rao was used in the persecution on His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Just when the false case of 2010 against Paramahamsa Nithyananda was about to be quashed for lack of any evidence or victim, an NRI woman was presented as a false victim (with pre-existing 4 sexually transmitted diseases) in 2012 on corrupt Indian Television.

01 June 2012: Even after the illegal arrest and relentless persecution, His Divine ​ Holiness served the humanity untiringly. Despite the massive attempts of the extremist Hindu militants to destroy Him, His humanitarian efforts made notable breakthroughs demonstrating His lifetime dedication to fulfill His mission. The following are the breakthroughs: ● a London-based magazine ‘Watkins’ as one amongst the 100 Most Spiritually Influential People in the World. ● Scientific evidence showing the phenomenon of materialization was published. ● His Divine Holiness began connecting to the world via two-way video conferencing, making Himself available to millions in 350 Satsang (meditation) centres across the world. ● He transmitted the science of power manifestation to give the superconscious breakthrough to humanity.

Media Used its Primary Tool to Incite hatred in Public against Paramahamsa Nithyananda

78

Seeing that the false case against Paramahamsa Nithyananda was dwindling fast and was about to be quashed in the courts for the lack of any victim or any evidence, the conspirators behind the persecution, namely S.Gurumurthy and his assistant Kalyan Raman, produced a ‘face’ of the false rape accuser Aarthi Rao, who herself has pre-existing 4 STDs (sexually transmitted diseases). To broadcast her sinister lies, they colluded with the media mafia, particularly Suvarna 24x7 News Channel, a Kannada television channel.

This media channel played the biggest role in months to come in abetting Aarthi Rao’s false accusations against Paramahamsa Nithyananda and garnering public sympathy towards herself, while increasing public hatred towards Paramahamsa Nithyananda. This enabled the perpetrators to work with Suvarna TV to organize a massive attack against His Divine Holiness in His own aadheenam (temple monastery) during a press meet in 2012.

- Media-police--Hindu militant strategists used the false rape victim to intensify the frequency and complexity of the persecution. - Ultimately, He was indiscriminately labelled as “Sex Swami” by Hindu militant forces to incite hatred against Him and distort His history.

The “Big Lie” Propaganda Technique

A big lie (German: große Lüge) is a propaganda technique. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously". Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany, ​ ​ Joseph Goebbels the Propaganda minister, consolidated the Big Lie Propaganda technique as, “The essential English leadership secret does ​ not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.”

79

THE BIG LIE of the False Rape Accuser, Aarthi Rao implanted by S. Gurumurthi and trained to make colossal lies to force public sympathy on her.

The cunning play of Aarthi Rao in giving false rape accusations, which are BIG lies

After the interview with Suvarna Television which was telecast first, Aarthi Rao appeared in many subsequent interviews, including NDTV and Samana TV to sensationalize her BIG LIE and dramatize them shamelessly. NDTV and Samana TV, whose main host is Ranganath Bharadwaj, are also the media houses intent on destroying His Divine Holiness and His mission.

Suvarna Channel nexus with Extreme Hindu Militants - Justification Propaganda Tactics Begin

80

WIth the BIG LIE strategy of Kalyan Raman, Aarthi Rao and Lenin Karuppan created a massive volumes of ‘poisonous defamation’ atrocity material with the Media Mafia, Suvarna 24×7 News Television Channel. Although factually as per the Indian law, she ​ ​ is only a witness in the case and hence legally not allowed to talk about the sub judice case, Aarthi Rao unlawfully appears on Suvarna TV and absconds from court hearings, and falsely claims she was the one who was abused by Paramahamsa Nithyananda over 40 times!

Programming of Public by the BIG LIE Interviews The media programmed the public by designing the false rape accuser’s interviews to invoke public sympathy with the following sleazy dramatizations:

● The demeanor: rigid, weak, arrogant and fozy. ● Appearance: a simple indian traditional woman with strained victimized expression, with face often hidden or shown to dramatize. ● Tone of voice: speaking low and with pauses (yet her cunningness and deceit is evident) ● content of speech: taboo content, uncensored

Suvarna TV airs meticulously-planned sessions with false accuser Aarthi Rao.

Aarathi Rao’s BIG LIE were split across several days of planned interviews by Chief editor of Crime Division, Ajith Hanumakkanavar. During this time, Suvarna even invited public phone-in and panel discussions on this subject. When Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s devotees called Suvarna TV, they were not allowed to participate in the phone-in. Significantly, no other press in electronic media picked up or ran this story. It was an exclusive tie-up. The interview video was telecast continuously for over 9 hours a day and re-telecast for several days afterwards in the most malicious tie-up.

Court Complaints on Suvarna News On 13 March 2013, Paramahamsa Nithyananda filed a defamation suit against Suvarna 24×7 at the JMFC, Ramanagara. Suvarna Channel along with Ms. Aarthi Rao, the rape accuser who is a witness in the false rape case against His Divine Holiness, have been waging a relentless vengeful slander and abuse campaign against Him.

81

On 9th March 2013, Mr. A.C. Narendran, a devotee of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, filed a complaint at the High Grounds Police Station in Cr. No. 0081/2013, against the continuous vengeful onslaught of Suvarna TV on Paramahamsa Nithyananda. The most recent one being an open, blatant show of violence on a panel discussion where the panelist wielding a chopper openly issued a threat to life to Paramahamsa Nithyananda and His followers.

Conclusion

When the case was almost dead, losing traction in the media and in the judiciary and the evidence was piling up proving the innocence of His Divine Holiness, it was necessary to raise the scale of media attack against Him. The media successfully invoked public sympathy for Aarthi Rao and utter disgust and hate on Paramahamsa Nithyananda, thus enabling another grave life attempt against His Divine Holiness which happened in June 2012.

Defaming a disciple Hindu Monk – Yellow Journalism at its worst, One India

In an extreme devious execution to incite hatred on His Divine Holiness, One India - an online yellow journal news outlet, has dragged a monastic disciple, Sri Nithya Shantimayananda Swami to manufacture fabricated news instigating public hate and controversy to drive anti-Guru sentiments deeper while defaming the Hindu Guru-disciple tradition.

- Attack on Guru-disciple relationship to sow the seedbeds of dissent among Hindus for the great Hindu lineage.

82

- Untrammelled incitement of hatred overrode the human rights of millions of seekers who wished to follow the sacred path of sannyas (monkhood) and were subjected to enforced silence. - Sanyasis exemplify the purpose of human birth as Hindus – to understand the nature of the self. Hatred towards Hindu Gurus mushroomed into a real ​ monstrous threat to the existence of Sannyas sampradaya (Monks lineage) in Sanatana Hindu Dharma.

One India, 4 July 2012:

● FALSE CLAIM: The article headline screams, “Nithyananda illegally detains boy in ashram?” calling a hotel management graduate a boy. FACT: ​ ● There is no boy who has been detained. Santhosh is an adult, well into his ​ 30’s, who made his own decision to live in the Aadheenam (temple-monastery complex) as an initiated Hindu monk. So, there is no illegal detainment. ● How can an adult hotel management graduate be called a ‘boy’? (This is done by the media to falsely program the public about some illegal activity committed by His Divine Holiness.)

● FALSE CLAIM: “the couple moved the Karnataka court accusing Nithyananda of detaining their son Santhosh since 2009 and not allowing him to meet him…”

FACT: Below is the letter written by Santosh (Sri Nithya Shantimayananda Swami) to police, who himself refuted the false claim that he is illegally detained by Paramahamsa Nithyananda. He says that media has brainwashed his parents against Him and done irreparable damage to His relationship with His pre-monastic family for their vested interest.

83

84

85

Irresponsible and unjust yellow journalism unchecked in India has been playing with immense power and crowd manipulating billions of perceptions. Due to hectic lifestyles and low attention spans, people are programmed to lap up whatever is slammed on them by the media.

Suvarna TV Made My Life Hell! - the Venomous Hate Propaganda on Paramahamsa Nithyananda

The prejudicial attitudes of public for His Divine Holiness made his disciples struggle to establish roots of their chosen monastic life in an all encompassing Sanatana Hindu Dharma. Disciples were disparaged by their families and society at large for following the highest path of sannyas. The hate propaganda against Hindu Gurus and subtle attack on Sannyas (Hindu Monkhood) had pernicious and pervasive consequences for the promising youth leaders.

“Suvarna TV poisoned the minds of my family, and turned my own parents against me.” Sri Shantimayananda Swami, a monastic disciple of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, shares his heart-wrenching story about the misery caused by Kannada news channel, Suvarna TV. By assassinating Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s character, Suvarna TV brainwashed His own disciples to file a case against Him.

Following are the personal accounts of Sri Shantimaya Swami:

My Introduction:

I am Sri Nithya Shantimayananda Swami, a Sanyasi (Hindu monk) of the Nithyananda Order. From year 2009, I am living under the guidance of my Master, His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. I am from a Brahmin family, belonging to Smartha community in Karnataka. I am a graduate and have worked abroad for 6 years. What I went through during the attack, and what I am going through till date, I shall try and express in this article:

In March 2010, the fake video was released. This was done to destroy Paramahamsa Nithyananda and His mission. I continued to live in aadheenam (monastery). I was

87

shaken to my core, but continued my path under my master’s guidance. My parents were happy to see me stay supportive of my master (video clips are available). That is how I was brought up by my family. Attacks continued in physical and emotional level via media, assassins, etc. till date.

June 7th 2012, The Media Attack:

Suvarna TV anchor, Ajith Hanumakkanavar, tried to serve a summons in a peaceful press meet called by us at our Bidadi aadheenam. It is an illegal act to serve summons by a media person. I could not understand what was happening. We avoided him going near our Master because we do not know what was hidden in that fat envelope. He created ruckus, brought some thugs, and bet innocent monks. I was shocked and did not know what to do. In the aadheenam (monastery), we lived a peaceful life meditating, serving people, healing people, taking care of the temple, etc. It was a cultural shock. I had never experienced this in my life before and had never even thought about media this way. I always thought media meant a sincere people working for welfare of society. I expected them to be polished, educated, well mannered.

VIDEO: Shantimaya Swami’s Father was brainwashed by Suvarna Television Network to give statements against His Divine Holiness.

Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si9pv7_FeOc&feature=youtu.be ​ June 10th 2012:

“I lost my parents…...Suvarna TV is responsible for all this. Suvarna TV had abused me, tortured me, and destroyed 10 years of my life” says the victim of media crime, Sri Shantimaya Swami

“Suvarna TV brings my innocent father to their studio and poisons his innocent inner space since he was uneducated. They forced him to put a Habeas Corpus petition on my Guru saying, I am kept in ashram by force against my will. Suvarna TV is only responsible for his pain. They destroyed our life for their personal gain. They destroyed my happy relationship between my father and me. They destroyed his faith on Gurus, religion, Gods, and spiritual path. I lost my father, my loving mother, and all my relatives. How much I loved them for 35 years of my life! I do not know when I will get them back and how they are. This damage cannot be repaired. Day and night I pray for their happiness. I want them to be healthy and happy. They made my strong mother cry in the media and made her not to talk to me. They destroyed my loving relationship with my sister also. They changed my relatives’ mind. They built a big wall between us. In last 10 years of attack, only once I went home -- that is for my grandmother's funeral. Even during the funeral, my parents did not talk to me.

89

This was not how I grew up. My parents took care of me so much. I was the most pampered in my whole family. I know now my parents will suffer physically and emotionally with the torture they are being put through. Suvarna TV is responsible for all this. I know my parents are in deep pain, lost their health, wealth, and everything. Why did they have to make my parents cry in their tv channel for so many days? And repeatedly show the same thing again and again. This shocked me. I went into depression. They used my family as an emotional puppet for their personal gains. I was shattered to see my father crying on TV. He was like a tiger all his life till this Suvarna TV came into our life.

It was such a sickening experience to go through for both me and my parents. I had to take the help of a psychiatrist to settle down.

Suvarna TV abused me, tortured me, and destroyed 10 years of my life. Even now, ​ it still haunts me in the back of my head. Because of constant compassion and care of my Guru, I am surviving and trying to stand up. I am still waiting to get justice for my life, my family, and my Master.

I do not know if it will happen in this lifetime.”

~ Sri Nithya Shantimayananda Swami

This brutal attack against Paramahamsa Nithyananda and His disciples by Suvarna TV is a direct violation of Article 12 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights which protects a person from attacks upon his honour and reputation.

Hate Speech: Times of India Hurls Gender Abusal on Paramahamsa Nithyananda

Media abuses His Divine Holiness’ impotency, which is medically proven and is a physiological effect of his purity and yogic body beyond lower hormones. Media trial continues to inhumanely character assassinate the Hindu Saint. Disregarding the real statements and evidence of His Divine Holiness and his medical

90

reports, they throw gender abusals to incite mob violence and public hate to deliberately harm Him.

- Media-state nexus’ conduct dehumanized and ridiculed His Divine Holiness and disrespected the highest spiritual state - ‘Enlightenment’, millions of spiritual seekers and Sanatana Hindu Dharma. - The slanderous article diminished, shattered and ultimately destroyed the His Divine Holiness’ reputation in the court of public opinion mercilessly in the state run poisonous defamation campaign against Him. - Constant denial of the existence of religious dignity and human rights of Hindu Gurus by committing outrages upon their personal dignity to exterminate them from the history of mankind.

14 September 2014 - The Times of India flashes the atrocious headline, "I Am Not A Man" as an absurd statement claimed by His Divine Holiness, abusing his character without seeing the medical evidence and statements from His Divine Holiness and the spiritual context. They constantly use terms like 'Godman' to make a grim mockery, denying Him His basic dignity.

What the Media Falsely Said:

● 'I am not a man: Swami Nithyananda'. ● ".. a CD that has 36 video clips with at least 5 different women. The CID has sent the CD to Hyderabad" ● " she was one of the women who signed the disclosure agreement..."

Facts:

● Medical Potency tests results prove that His Divine Holiness is 'impotent,' which means that He has low levels of testosterone. This has nothing to do with being transgender. In reality, it is the ultimate spiritual state of living beyond gender as a celibate. ● The media unabashedly talks about the gender on the passport. The fact is the male gender is a physical attribute, but the physiology of His Divine Holiness is a yogic body beyond gender. As revealed in the Hindu scriptures, this is the

91

science of evolved species, which is beyond hormones and India has had thousands of evolved Yogis who have these attributes. ● There is no CD with 36 video clips. This is a blatant lie with unwarranted and unnamed sources, projected as 'reporting' - classic third grade yellow journalism. Till date, no such CDs exists or have come out. The Times of India violates the basic journalistic ethics by not investigating the story but presenting false fake news as fact. ● The claim about a non disclosure agreement is totally baseless: They have reported gossip with absolutely no evidence, proof, or statements.

What media never said:

Potency tests, released on October 1, 2014, reveal how Paramahamsa Nithyananda's claims of impotency were true.

95

Clarifications made to all the press regarding the false and blatant lies being spread by media about the medical tests results of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

On September 14, 2014, the Public Relations Team of Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam sent a press release to all the press clarifying about the false and blatant lies being spread by the media regarding the medical test results of His Divine Holiness. Yet, the press never reported or published this clarification anywhere in their media.

Following is the email evidence and the email photo:

8 September 2014 As per court directions medical test is successfully being conducted. Legal action is being taken against false and blatant lies being spread by certain media with vested interests about the results of the tests. We wish to clarify this and request honest ethical media to take this into account and take a strong stand against the media sections who are spreading lies in the name of journalism and bringing shame on the whole fraternity and profession.

96

His Divine Holiness team sends a clear message to media to stop lies on medical tests conducted on Him.

It was direct attack on the dignity of His Divine Holiness. He was denied basic human rights as per the Universal declaration of Human rights to have human dignity (article 1).

INCITEMENT TO VIOLENCE BY MEDIA TIMELINE

Media Cruelty Campaign: Turns Life Attack into dehumanizing mockery inciting mob violence

Media’s cruel intentions of inciting mob violence on His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda are exposed when national television channels such as NDTV and TV 9 constantly aired the few seconds scene of a disrespectfully thrown slipper on Him. ​ State-sponsored persecution easily led to escalating violence against His vulnerable Hindu minority.

April 23 2010:

FACTS:

On April 23 2010, there was a direct attack to incite mob violence on His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda when He arrived in the Bengaluru airport. There was unprecedented huge mob inside the restricted area. Among witnesses and those watching on TV across the globe, paranoia distressed all as His Divine Holiness had no security whatsoever. The moment He reached the terminal, the policeman surrounded Him in a square formation, as if taking a first class criminal to His execution

In a pre-planned conspiracy of triggering the mob violence, even while surrounded by scores of police, just as His Divine Holiness was going to be escorted in the car, a lethal acid egg was thrown at Him. He managed to escape the hit and just after that, a slipper was thrown at Him to physically assault and publicly disgrace Him - all to incite mob violence.

THE INTENTIONS OF THE CRUELTY CAMPAIGN

In a world where the civilized society aspires to be non-violent and respects the dignity of a human being, in a country where Hindu saints were always revered with all humility,

3

there also exist the dark cruel side of Indian Media Czars who encash on the refusal and dehumanization of a great spiritual leader, who is revered and worshipped by millions worldwide. Media demonologists worked even harder to incite Mob violence on ​ ​ His Divine Holiness after its monstrous hate propaganda. - To deprive and abuse the basic human dignity of His Divine Holiness and his community and followers - by showing visuals of the disrespectful act of physical abusal. - to frame a scorned and shameful public image of His Divine Holiness to program public hate and incite mob violence destroying the sacred ideology associated ​ with Him of a revered Hindu monkhood. Public will then be programmed to naturally hate and assault any Hindu monk or a spiritual leader! - by unabashedly tilting the video as, “Chappal (slipper) Offering for ‘Sex’ Swami” ​ NDTV does two things: ○ Grossly disrespects and violates the dignity of a Humanitarian who is revered by millions, by mocking at the act of worshipping spiritual Masters. ○ Labels with pervert hate speech such as as “Sex Swami” to trigger even more public hate and alienate him from human family, and thus justify the hidden agenda to eliminate Him smoothy.

With this combination, the TV Channels such as NDTV, TV9 and newspapers such as DNA, blatantly encourage the inhumane treatment against Paramahamsa Nithyananda though it is an outright violation of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights (article 5). By doing this, the third degree torture that His Divine Holiness endured by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) when He was in judicial custody was justified in the minds of those who inflicted this treatment on Him.

The persecution history of religious figures of Sanatana Hindu Dharma dates back to several centuries. In the current scenario, the Media in nexus with the Hindu extremists militant groups held a deep hostility against Hindu Gurus, and dealt brutally to destroy them.

Bangalore Mirror Fabricates Lies about Paramahamsa Nithyananda

This article exposes the nexus of media-police-hindu extremists against His Divine Holiness. Bangalore Mirror commits journalism malpractice by the ‘big lie’ it spills by vulgar hate speech just to incite mob violence using phrases such as - ‘Sex Swami’, ‘100s of obscene CDs…” In truth, there is no basis any allegation they claim.

● The State Police CID (criminal investigation department) claimed it got CDs and hard discs from Ashram during raid which portrayed His Divine Holiness with five more women; ● it was a blatant lie to extend His illegal custody. Their details were neither given in media nor to His Divine Holiness for interrogation. ● Article claims that FSL confirmed the authenticity of these CDs and Hard Discs. Without sharing reports, the claim of authenticity of the video was made. Also, nobody know which videos were shared with FSL. ● On the basis of such baseless claims Judiciary extended the illegal custody of His Divine Holiness.

By SYSTEMATICALLY publishing such articles that discredited His Divine Holiness as below human, they incited mob violence. They corrupted the minds of public (at least 1.5 lakh readers) to systematically portray His Divine Holiness as a criminal and isolate Him from public, which is violation of article 7 of UN human rights, the right to not be subjected to discrimination.

Stigmatization of Hindu Monks - Inciting mob violence

Indian Express proves its antagonistic propaganda in the disguise of liberal National views, fueled by the Extremist Hindu groups. It was a direct exhortation to communities, urging them to take part in extremism and violence against Hindu Sanyasis (Monks). It makes faulty generalizations that all monks are unchaste, cheats and law offenders. Ethnic hatred, resentment and violence was implanted for the Hindu sanyasis (Monks) among masses which led to effect the genocide of Hindus.

11 May 2010

FACTS: ​ ● Hindu monks who adorn the saffron-robe are revered in the Hindu culture for the highest spiritual values they uphold, living the purest lifestyle of non-violence and renunciation. However, media houses are creating a large amount of atrocity material against them to incite mob violence. ● FALSE STATEMENT: The article starts with “Nithyananda’s sexcapades have sullied the reputation of the saffron robe in Karnataka…..” and dirty hate speech of ‘‘sex-ananda…” et. strategically fronting the name of ‘Nithyananda’ to sexualize His name, inciting violence against Him and rebuking anything sacred in Sanatana Hindu Dharma.

FACT: His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda is the glory of the saffron robe, that is most ancient order of Hindu Monks. He is spiritual leader (mahamandaleshwar) who is leading over 10 million Hindu monks.

● A sex scandal made out of fake video was used to programme people against Paramahamsa Nithyananda who is a yogi beyond gender. Later, same video was ​ ​ proven false by US forensic experts. ​ ● The fight over power roles regarding Swami Pranavananda was completely unsubstantiated, distorted event, blown up disproportionately in the news.

15

● Unreasonable comparison is done between two Hindu monks without substantiation again leading vulnerable readers to peak hatred that will lead to mob violence.

The only stories about Sanatana Hindu Dharma getting published are negative, abusive, and far-fetched. Media has made a mockery of our revered sacred monks and ethnic values, but the atrocity material generated has reached a peak where the only term associated with a monk or guru is ‘fraud’ or ‘self-proclaimed godman’. The media-police nexus as the instruments Extremist Hindu Militant Groups have single-handedly degraded and destroyed the most ancient spiritual tradition in the world.

Indian Express, through its articulate abusal is violating UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 10), the right to independent and impartial fair trials before accusation.

Extortion Crimes: Filmmakers of ‘Satyananda’ film do criminal & mocking distortion

In the satirical film “Satyananda”, corrupt film producer Madan Patel and actor Sri Ravi Chetan sexualized the sacred image of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda and blackmailed the disciples representing Him for an extortion fee of Rs. 4 crore (40 million US dollars). A huge piece of justification propaganda to incite hatred and violence through virulent depiction of Him as a public enemy.

- This movie was audaciously filmed to incite the masses to hatred about Paramahamsa Nithyananda, the youngest popular spiritual leader revered by millions worldwide, to disqualify Him as a true Spiritual leader. - Defaming Hindu spiritual leaders is not a new or unusual theme in Indian films. They have had a clear purpose of trashing the very institution of Guru tradition and of obsessively ridiculing Hindu Gurus by masquerading criminals as holy men. - Symbols representing His Divine Holiness became targets of violent acts in the movie which exorbitantly exhibits the jealousy and prejudice of anti-human forces who wanted to eliminate Him.

05 April 2011 - Satyananda is a film released in 2011, with a plot revolving around the ​ release of a video of a Hindu celibate monk drugging and raping a woman. The film is criminal distortion of the persecution on His Divine of Holiness, erasing the amount of violence, pain, blackmail, extortion, torture and murder attempts that actually happened in the span of one year against Paramahamsa Nithyananda. It instead becomes a huge piece of justification propaganda, in slandering and viciously defaming the Hindu

19

sanyasis (monks) as exploitative, by directly targeting the greatest Hindu Spiritual Leader of this age, His Divine Holiness.

The disciples of His Divine Holiness filed a complaint to stop the release of this hateful film, which is a shame to the movie industry. In the complaint, a demand for immediate action to stop the release of the film was made as it contained defaming and false information which would poisonously defame the sacred reput of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, and in effect, impact the faith and belief of millions of followers all over the world. One morphed video had caused an insane amount of hatred and violence toward His Divine Holiness.

In an attempt to discuss and know the hidden motives of the movie producers, 3 monastery residents arranged a meeting with the movie producer Madan Patel and his brother. In a video taken during this discussion, the extortion was clearly recorded - Madan Patel blatantly blackmails the residents that - if an extortion fee of 4 Crores is ​ not paid, they would release all the fabricated content against Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

When the Police was contacted to report the attempted extortion, they did not accept the Police. The judiciary made hardly any effort to stop the release of the film. Finally, it was released in various languages across India. Clearly it was a planned and systematic persecution to isolate Him and to significantly incite public hatred and mob attacks.

Media Crimes against Humanity - Paramahamsa Nithyananda - Inciting Mob Violence on National television - The ongoing hate propaganda against His Divine Holiness has been misused to justify incitement to violence against Him on a national television. - It contributed to the encouragement of atrocious life attacks of His Divine Holiness and His Disciples, violent vandalism and ethnic cleansing of adi shaivite minority . - Intolerance, discriminatory stereotyping and hate speech against His Divine Holiness in high tension situations was the indicator of mob violence and mob lynching attacks. - Instance of Incitement to violence against a Hindu Guru is not isolated or spontaneous event. It is a part of multilayered process for merciless ethnic cleansing and cultural genocide. - This risk factor is also relevant where the legacies of past atrocity crimes have not been adequately addressed through individual criminal accountability, reparation, truth-seeking and reconciliation processes, as well as comprehensive reform measures in the security and judicial sectors.

Suvarna News television panelist, Vagish Prasad wields weapon during panel discussion, issuing life-threat to His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Police Case was filed by beleaguered devotee. It is a shocking account of Media Mafia’s criminal onslaught. This video broadcast is nothing short of committing a

23

broad daylight crime amidst millions threatening the life of a Spiritual Leader, worshipped and revered by millions worldwide.

9 March 2013 - Suvarna news television and its employees are notorious for regularly inciting mob hatred in Karnataka towards His Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. By massive public penetration, systematic barbarous attacks have been instigated to eliminate Paramahamsa Nithyananda and destroy Sanatana Hindu Dharma.

In March 2013, some Hindu Extremist Terrorist groups caused tension between the Lingayat community and His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. There were financial motives behind creating this issue, which was revealed by the sting operation against Rishi Kumar. He was hired by Suvarna channel to speak against Paramahamsa Nithyananda on television to create unnecessary conflict.

In continuation of this, Suvarna News Television of South India on a continuous vengeful onslaught, had panelists blatantly threaten and abuse Paramahamsa Nithyananda on a panel discussion. Well known for their Hindu extremists terrorist views, they verbally attacked Paramahamsa Nithyananda, a spiritual leader of a minority of Hindu group, who has a world-wide devotee base. They intentionally wanted to create a division between Paramahamsa Nithyananda (and His followers) and the rest of the Hindu community. Suvarna News TV went so far as to allow their speaker, Vagish Prasad, to wield a deadly sickle against Him issuing a life threat openly on the channel watched by millions of people. Their sole intention was to incite mob violence against Him in an attempt to mob lynch Him.

24

Vagish Prasad, a panelist in the Suvarna TV shows, wielding a chopper openly issued a threat to life to Paramahamsa Nithyananda and His followers. This program was aired continuously by the accused TV channel Suvarna News 24x7.

MEDIA TERRORISM: Crime Stories of Samaya Television Nexus with Extremist Militants - telecasted life attacks on Monks & Monastery

- This attack by media and anti Hindu forces was for inhumanely encouraging violent extremism, blasphemy and youth radicalization against His Divine Holiness. - The media-Hindu militant extremists nexus unlawfully declared their monopoly in the state while thrashing the religious rights of His Divine Holiness’ spiritual community. - Police did not acknowledge or penalise the perpetrators of this criminalized violent extremist propaganda thereby clearly proving it to be state sponsored.

January 13, 14 2014:

LAUNCHING THE LINGUISTIC PROPAGANDA TO JUSTIFY CRIME Samaya Television telecast false accusations against His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda and His followers to character assassinate and a strategic plan to generate public hate and indifference. ● FALSE CLAIM: was that His Divine Holiness is causing linguistic violence, ‘insulting Kannadigas’ (residents of Karnataka state), and instigating the owner of a Haridwar Hotel (where He and His organization members were residing for a meditation program) to stop Kannadigas (the residentials of Karnataka state) from entering into the hotel. FACT: No one was stopped from entering the hotel. No Kannadiga was stopped. Completely baseless accusation. (the hotel general manager video and ​ statement is enclosed further below) ● This linguistically provoked propaganda was the pretext to justify an attack on His Divine Holiness and kill him by manipulating Kannadigas to incite hate violence.

32

The premeditated attack was led by one Mr. Ranganath Bharadwaj, against whom several cases have been filed by the Nithyananda Aadheenam (monastery) and followers of Paramahamsa Nithyananda for defamation and breach of peace.

● It is learned from reliable sources that Mr. Ranganath Bharadwaj is the relative of Mr. Vinay Bharadwaj, who was sentenced to 4.75 years imprisonment for multiple counts of sexual assault of a minor girl in the USA. ● Prior to Vinay’s arrest in the US, Mr. Ranganath Bharadwaj had tried to broadcast Vinay Bharadwaj on the Suvarna TV channel to allege that Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s ashram was responsible for instigating this – Vinay Bharadwaj’s incarceration. ● Ranganath formerly served as a reporter on Suvarna TV. Unfortunately, prior to Vinay’s statement being televised on Suvarna TV, the USA courts found him guilty of sexual assault of a girl child. Vinay Bharadwaj went on multiple appeals, the final appeal outcome was that the US Court has turned down ALL of his appeals and had actually ordered him to pay all of the lawyers’ fees as well. ● Since Ranganatha’s plan was aborted due to Vinay’s arrest, he went ahead to instigate a baseless case of linguistic violence in Karnataka against Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

Samaya Television incites Linguistic violence against His Divine Holiness ● Infuriated by the arrest of his nephew, he lashed out by sending a group of militant terrorists to beat up the a single Sanyasi (hindu monk) living at the Aadheenam (temple monastery) in Uttarahalli – severely injuring him, breaking his bones and vandalizing the property. This came as a shock to the neighbors as they knew the Sannyasi to be well known of calm and helpful nature – enriching them by teaching yoga and meditation. Taking law into his own hands, Ranganatha made several life-taking criminal attempts to malign and destroy Paramahamsa Nithyananda but to no avail.

Later, the leader of the same group was called by Samaya TV for a panel discussion where openly declared his criminal act.

34

This violent attack on the Nithyananda Peetham, Uttarahalli Aadheenam, and Sri Nithya Bhaktimayananda Swami, violated the UN Human Right Laws including the Right to Life & Security (Article 3), Right to Privacy (Article 12) and No Discrimination (Articles 2, 7).

SAMAYA TELEVISION RUNS ATROCIOUS TV PANEL DISCUSSION WITH EXTREMIST HINDU CRIMINAL ELEMENTS

The Samaya Television panel that were hired on the TV channel to discuss this ​ (false) allegation comprised of extremist Hindu militant terrorists with vested interests and were proven in the court of law to be criminal elements, including the likes of Karnataka Navnirman Sena's Bhimashankar Patil, Madan Patel, etc.

Mr. Bhima Shankar Patil himself is not only accused in a number of criminal cases but was also beaten up badly few months back in Bijapur for defrauding and cheating hundreds of people, promising them homes for their families. He was also being pursued by the police and arrested for a number of other illegal crimes.

Mr. Madan Patel, in the same way, was expelled from the BSR party during the recent elections for selling the party tickets and making money. He even made a defamatory movie on Paramahamsa Nithyananda titled ‘Satyananda’ and when faced with a stay of proceedings by the Karnataka courts, he tried to blackmail the ashram authorities and

35

devotees of Paramahamsa Nithyananda demanding a sum of Rs. 6 crores from them. The ashram authorities denied this illegal extortion demand. The recording of the same is also available on CD.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

TAKING THE LAW IN HAND - THIS SHOWS THE GROSS VIOLENCE AND ​ CRIMINAL WORKS OF THE SAMAYA TV AND THE EXTREME HINDU MILITANT TERRORIST NEXUS. ● The Hindu Extremist activist openly tells his criminal acts in the TV interview that - ‘Today our activists have gone and destroyed it (aadheenam in Bengaluru).....” ; “Tomorrow ​ we will attack them also. For any reason, Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena will not allow Nithyananda to start or run any Dhyanapeeta mutt in Karnataka. Until he leaves Karnataka our fight will continue.”

WHY DID THE POLICE TAKE NO ACTION FOR THIS CRIMINAL ACT? THE CRIMES OF MEDIA & EXTREME HINDU TERRORISTS BROADCASTED TO MILLIONS ON TELEVISION WENT UNNOTICED BY THE LAW KEEPERS.

TV ANCHOR: Unable to tolerate Nithyananda’s activities Kannada activists expressed their anger against Nithyananda. Nithyananda has a meditation center in Uttarahalli. This meditation center was ​ attacked by Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena. This meditation center is located in Uttarahalli, ​ Vandalam Nagar. This meditation has been attacked by Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena. We are seeing in the visuals how Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena activists are attacking this meditation center located at Vandalam Nagar Uttarahalli, breaking the things there..their anger has reached its heights because they are not able to tolerate Nithyananda’s activities anymore.

This attack was led by Bhima Shankar Patil of Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena. Bhima Shankar Patil is on the phone with us now:

Anchor: Patilji how many of you took part in this attack and what is the next action you are going to take?”

Patil: When the chief minister ordered for an investigation I had told that action has to be taken ​ regarding his activities within 24 hours and a decision has to be made. The time in up. This mutt, they started 4 months ago by building a compound wall and putting his picture and board saying Nithyananda Dhyanapeetham. Today our activists have gone and destroyed it. Just like this, he has opened Dhyanapeetam in 6 other places in Bangalore it seems. We got information about 2 places. Tomorrow we will attack them also. For any reason, Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena will not allow Nithyananda to start or run any Dhyanapeetam mutt in Karnataka. Until he leaves Karnataka our fight will continue.

Anchor: So you have taken law in your own hands. ​ Patil: No, I didn’t say that we are taking law into our own hands. He is doing everything against the ​ ​ ​ law only. There are so many legal cases against him. Still, he is hiding and going around saying I am in Haridwar, Kedar, Kashi etc. So that’s the reason why we are not doing anything by taking law into ​ our hands. How can we agree if he just puts one shed at some unofficial place and says this is Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam. We are Kannadigas. Next to it there are houses, decent people are ​ living. Tomorrow if he starts the same activities as in Bidadi how will the neighbors accept that? Again there the atmosphere will get spoilt. That atmosphere should not get spoilt. Our Karnataka people; Kannadigas should not have any difficulty. That is the reason why we took this decision. We didn’t take law in our hands. We are committed to law. we are trying to get our hands on the papers of that land. Maybe by tomorrow when we get the papers of that site Once we get it we will make a bigger more furious fight in that place.

Anchor: Bhimashankar Patilji, there are many ways in which you can express your opposition towards him. You can take out a peaceful protest. If you are attacking you should have got tahsildar, DC and informed the police officials and along with them you should have gone.

Patil: When it comes to Nithyananda we do not trust any official or any politician. Even though Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena has been fighting against the illegal activities of Nithyananda, till today not even one official has been able to take a strong decision… because there is political pressure is there and Nithyananda has strong political clout. He has this evil mind of managing anything we will not be able to get him out like that. I told before also that Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena will do a

37

peaceful protest, but if action not taken we will have to create a revolution. We have taken the first step. Whatever happens, Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena people are ready to face it.

Anchor: Now you are attacking..there is one disciple there. Pushing him and being violent towards ​ him, how correct is that Bhimashankar Patilji?

Patil: Please don’t get it wrong. While the attack was going on our activists have not been violent ​ towards anyone. Nithyananda’s photo has been brought down and torn, the compound wall has been broken. Other than this nothing has been done. We have not attacked or been violent towards anyone.

Today we have taken an unshakable decision that whatever happens it's ok, even if they hang us it's ok but from now on Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena will attack Nithyananda’s ashrams, we will surrender.. we have not attacked any person physically. our intention is to get Nithyananda out of Karnataka.

Anchor: Ok Patilji, so is the next attack on Nithyananda Bidadi ashram then? ​ Patil: That is also on the queue. There are other 2 ashrams that Nithyananda has in Bangalore. After ​ we are done with those 2 we will definitely attack Bidadi ashram also. Even if he brings police officials or army itself Karnataka Nava Nirmana Sena will still attack Bidadi ashram.

Anchor: You said there are 2 more ashrams, where is it located Patilji? ​ Patil: I will bring that to your attention tomorrow evening or day after tomorrow. ​ Anchor: So there is a possibility that you will attack those places also? ​ Patil: Not just a possibility, for sure we will attack. Nithyananda for any reason should not ​ ​ be on Karnataka land. It’s starting only today. When it will end I don’t know. Today we have started, ​ ​ we will continue until he leaves Karnataka.

Anchor: Ok Bhimashankar Patilji. Thank you for talking to Samaya news. ​ * END OF TRANSCRIPT * ​

Statement of Haridwar Hotel Management - clarifying that no one from Karnataka was stopped or withheld from entering the Hotel at Haridwar Here is the testimonial from the General Manager of Hotel Sarovar, Sri Brijesh Gupta, who publicly expressed his shock at this false accusation by Samaya channel (seen in the below photograph). In his statement he said,

VIDEO LINK: https://www.facebook.com/justificationpropaganda/videos/250147979130979/ ​

“It is very disheartening to know the statement which is made by the said channel. Swamiji (Paramahamsa Nithyananda) and his message are all-inclusive and welcoming and uniting everyone.

I don’t know how the channel is showing this, but if they are showing this, it is a very wrong allegation against Swamiji. And if they want to come (to the hotel) and see whether anyone is stopping them, they can see! They can come and check if they have any doubts about it...I personally, as the General Manager of the hotel, Brijesh Gupta, would like to state that the channel is making such a statement that is very wrong and very disheartening. No such statement has been made either by Swamiji or any of his interpreters to the hotel. His program and satsang have been open for all. And I can see local people also coming and calling and they’re attending the program. So there are no boundaries for anyone. We are not stopping anyone, neither hotel nor satsang people. I have had the good fortune of attending a few satsangs personally and I have felt very enriched…It’s our pleasure to have Swamiji and have such a world class spiritual program in our premises. So that spirituality in this premises again brings the goodness of this hotel, a good future for this hotel and for the people of Haridwar and the place of Haridwar. Swamiji and his message is all inclusive and welcoming. Uniting everyone which is not that dividing and we aren’t stopping anyone. I don’t know how this

39

channel is showing this, but still. If it is shown by some channel which is very wrong, a wrong indication to Swamiji.”

STATEMENT OF HIS DIVINE HOLINESS PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA

Pained by these false and malicious accusations, His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda also responded with a statement,

“I wanted to make it very clear to the people of Karnataka – I love Karnataka and I love people of Karnataka. Neither I, nor my representatives, made any of these kinds of statements. We don’t have any barriers based on religion, language, nothing. We’re open to all human beings. We’re open to everyone.

After the attack, the administrator of Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam ashram in Bidadi, Shri Sairam Muthuswamy, presented a pleading letter to the Hon’ble Chief Minister of ​ Karnataka, clarifying the facts and appealing to take the necessary action to stop all of ​ the violence & harassment.

Letter to the Chief Minister from the administrator of Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam:

“This is a blatant violation of the law and is being instigated by vested interests led by one Mr. Ranganath Bharadwaj, against whom several cases have been filed by Nithyananda ashram and followers, for breach of peace and defamation. It is learned from reliable sources that Mr. Ranganath Bharadwaj is the relative of Mr. Vinay Bharadwaj, who is in jail in the USA after being sentenced to 4.75 years imprisonment for multiple counts of sexual assault on a minor girl. It is to be noted that Mr. Ranganath Bharadwaj had also tried to bring this Vinay Bharadwaj on the Suvarna TV channel that he was a reporter of formerly, alleging that Nithyananda ashram is responsible for instigating Vinay Bharadwaj’s incarceration. This is when the truth is that US police and Court did their investigation and found him guilty of serious offenses of sexual assault and after Mr. Vinay Bharadwaj went on multiple appeals, the final appeal outcome being that the US Court has turned down all appeals and even ordered him to pay all the lawyer fees.

40

Nithyananda ashram and Paramahamsa Nithyananda have always and will continue to love the people of Karnataka. They are grateful to the soil and salt of Karnataka and highly respect the holy land of Karnataka that has been hosting spirituality and enlightened Masters since thousands of years. The ashram has always been and will always be open to people of not only Karnataka, but also the whole of India and the world, as the very purpose for its existence is to serve the people and provide them with spiritual solutions for a happy and successful life. The ashram has no barriers of religion, language or anything. So the ashram welcomes all the people of Karnataka and the rest of India, except mischief-mongers like Mr. Ranganath Bharadwaj and his associates.

We request your kind offices to please note the above and take strong action against these unscrupulous elements for attempting to breach the peace in the State of Karnataka.”

This entire heinous event was the result of unprecedented attacks on the spiritual leader leading to a number of Human Rights Violations such as the No Discrimination Act (Article 2,7), Right to Justice (Article 8, 10) and the basic right of Innocent Until Proven Guilty (Article 11).

Life Attack in the Disguise of Potency Test - Deadly Media-Police Nexus Exposed

Even after a torturous attempt to murder by the lethal medical tests, media-police nexus continue denying the human right and threaten the life of His Divine Holiness. This article exposes the criminalistic assassination attempt on the life of His Divine Holiness through the potency test and how media and police portray an innocent being as guilty.

- The state-sponsored media terrorist disguised unparalleled violence (life attack) against His Divine Holiness in the entire history of mankind against any Hindu Guru under the guise of hate speech and false allegations. - The volume of information and the venom behind the allegations seriously threatened the life of Paramahamsa Nithyananda. - The snowballed effects of poisonous defamation against Him magnified the destructive information and had spread beyond the point of no return. - The rise of extremist and violent ideologies perpetuated by Hindu militant extremists to dehumanize Paramahamsa Nithyananda is for being the monopolistic voice and absolute power of of Sanatana Hindu Dharma. - The risk of ethnic cleansing of religious community led by His Divine Holiness against the violent background created by anti-Hindu forces has increased multifolds unless international humanitarian forces intervene. - Incitement of violent attacks on Hindu Gurus at local, regional, national and international levels committed in the name of protecting Humanity is applifying to anti human level.

September 11, 2014:

● FALSE CLAIM: The media states that the “Potency test conducted on Nithyananda is incomplete as he has reportedly ducked a part of the test.”

FACT: The potency test was taken on 8 September 2014 and His Divine ​ Holiness cooperated completely with the test, even though He has to undergo

42

intense pain. There was no part of the test which was not done. On the contrary, He was forced to watch porn and take a lethal injection - which is gross violation of human rights.

● FALSE CLAIM: It mentions that,” Nithyananda used clever tactics…..” as a last resort and that “He made use of a less-known provision that requires the consent of patient to take an injection that induces erection.”

FACTS: ● This statement proves the utter insensitivity and criminal intentions of the Media and its nexus with the perpetrators. The whole medical test was a direct attack on the life of His Divine Holiness to kill Him! Where is the question of a ‘clever tactic’ when the very life of a person is at the stake of doctors and police, who are all out to kill them through forced lethal ​ injection.

Here are the facts of what happened during the medical test. ■ The doctors forced His Divine Holiness to take the invasive test where an injection would be given to excite a sexual response to prove he is potent. The injection was actually a lethal one meant to implement the diabolical motives of the police. This injection is known to have side effects which would cause intense chest pain and put the individual at huge risk for heart attacks. ■ His Divine Holiness refused to take it to save his life, the basic human right! This refusal is cunningly shown by the media as legal right to avoid the test, which is not the case! ■ During the medical test conducted by the police, they abused his religious vocation of monk, by illegally allowing women doctors during his medical test. ■ They illegally showed pornography before him in an attempt to arouse him sexually as his body was clearly showing no libido or sexual response. ■ His complaint to the police was not acted upon.

● FALSE CLAIM: “Police said they will invoke Section 53 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which empowers them to use force to persuade Nithyananda to undergo the complete procedure…” FACT: ● No second test was taken, as the impotency was proven.

43

● This direct statement from the police to force His Divine Holiness is completely inhumane. When His Divine Holiness had fully cooperated with the test and undergone the risk of life-attack on Him through the lethal injection, then what point does the police have for another test? ● Potency Test was Pointless and Abusive - If potency tests results confirm potency, then it wouldn’t be conclusive evidence of crime. If potency tests results were negative, it wouldn’t acquit the accused of the crime. What was the point ?

It was an unprecedented inhumane torture, directly violating article 5 of Universal declaration of Human Rights which states that no one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. It also violated Article 10 which states that everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.

44

11 September 2014: Daily Mail, example of the criminal Media-Police Nexus, disguised life attack on His Divine Holiness as potency test. Justification propaganda created in media to falsely label Him as criminal who did not cooperate for test.

Persecution on His Divine Holiness was a holographic projection of the 5000 years of - The Hindu Holocaust

As a part of series of documents which narrates the story of persecution of His Divine Holiness, this particular document speaks of the untold story of 5000 years of The Hindu Holocaust.

The Hindu Holocaust has been the systematic, egregious and ongoing genocide over the last 5000 years on the most ancient living civilization on the planet. Denied by the historians and untold by its victimized survivors, the Hindu Holocaust is the biggest “crime against humanity” in world history.

Hindus time and again suffered religious persecution in the form of forceful conversions, massacres, demolition and desecration of temples, confiscation or destruction of property, incitement to hate, imprisonment, torture, murder, destruction of universities and schools and crimes against women and children.

A study of 2000 years of persecutions and inhuman cultural genocide against Hindus by various anti-human forces.

Our Survival Needs Attacked by vested Interests When the Mughals came, they saw the glitter of gold adorning our temples. When the British came, they came as traders, but for the same gold. When the consumerism attacked, it saw us their primary market. When vested interests attack, they began the process of ethnic cleansing. Atrocities Whenever vested interests attacked Hinduism, it was always a war. There were violent attacks, rape, deceit tactics, oppressive trade policies, illegal taxations, torture, beating, forceful conversion, and much more. Till date, it has been continuing though more subtle.

Francois Gautier in his book ‘Rewriting Indian History’ (1996) wrote: ​ ​ ​ “The massacres perpetuated by M_ in India are unparalleled in history, bigger than the Holocaust of the Jews by the Nazis; or the massacre of the Armenians by the Turks; more extensive even than the slaughter of the South American native populations by the invading Spanish and Portuguese.” Sikandar Butshikan – Butcher of Kashmir He was the sixth sultan of the Shah Miri dynasty of Kashmir. He ruled the ​ ​ ​ ​ kingdom from 1389 to 1413 and is remembered for his strenuous efforts to convert the Hindus of Kashmir to Islam. These efforts included the destruction of numerous old temples, prohibition of Hindu rites, rituals and festivals and even the wearing of clothes in the Hindu style. He is known as “Butcher of Kashmir” and among the most hated figures among Kashmiri Hindus. Persecution of Hindus Sultan Sikandar on the directions of the Sufi saint, Mir Mohammad Hamadani, he committed atrocities against non-Muslims in his lands. Large numbers of Hindus converted, fled, or were killed for refusal to convert during his reign.

A rare photo of ruins of Martand Sun Temple taken in 1868 by John Burke Sikandar earned the sobriquet of but-shikan or idol-breaker, due to his actions related to the desecration and destruction of numerous temples, caityas, viharas, shrines, hermitages and other holy places of the Hindus and Buddhists. He banned dance, drama, music, and iconography as aesthetic activities of the Hindus and Buddhists, rejecting them as heretical and un-Islamic. He forbade the Hindus to apply a tilak mark on their foreheads. He did not permit them to pray and worship, blow a conch shell, or toll a bell. Eventually, he began burning temples and all Kashmiri texts to eliminate Shirk. Sikandar stopped Hindus and Buddhists from cremating their dead. Jizya (poll-tax) equal to 4 tolas of silver was imposed on the Hindus.

Records Baharistan-i-Shahi: “ Immediately after his (Sufi Mir Mohammad’s) arrival, Sultan Sikandar, peace be on him, submitted to his supremacy and proved his loyalty to him by translating his words into deeds. He eradicated aberrant practices and infidelity. He also put an end to the various forbidden and unlawful practices throughout his kingdom. Thus during the entire period of his rule, all traces of wines and intoxicants and instruments of vice and corruption, like the cord of canticle, lyre, and tambourine were wiped out. The clamor of the drum and the trumpet, the shrill notes of the fife and the clarion no longer reached people’s ears, except in battles and assaults. ” “Hindus were forcibly converted to Islam and were massacred in case they refused to be converted’,” writes Hasan, a Muslim chronicler. He further observes, “And Sikandarpora (a city laid out by Sultan Sikandar) was laid out on the debris of the destroyed temples of the Hindus. In the neighborhood of the royal palaces in Sikandarpora, the Sultan destroyed the temples of Maha-Shri built by Praversena and another by Tarapida. The material from these was used for constructing a ‘Jami’ mosque in the middle of the city.” “Towards the end of his life, he (Sultan Sikandar) was infused with a zeal for demolishing idol-houses, destroying the temples and idols of the infidels. He destroyed the massive temple at Beejbehara. He had designs to destroy all the temples and put an end to the entire community of infidels,” puts Bharistan-i-Shahi.

Sadashiva’s Economics are “For Life” “Sadashiva’s economics: Wherever things do not reduce by sharing – like education, it has to be given free. Education within the matrix is aparavidya. Education beyond the matrix is paravidya. Sadashiva is very clear. Even for apara-vidya you cannot charge. The services that need to be done every day – the survival things, like food, medicine footwear etc he allows bartering. And only for the things that are longterm – such as construction – he allows currency transactions. Sadashiva’s economic policies are where the society is most healthy. There are some places we cannot afford to have money as the decision maker. If you allow money to become decision maker in some places, humanity enters into the worst crisis. Like modern medicine. Like psychology. The whole society was built on this one principle of: “For Life”. The building structure was such that no few families can own the largest wealth or power or land. No single group can overpower. Billionaires who form a community where they only talk about billions, they become an altogether different species. Identity-based on the currency has become so strong that they become altogether a different species. The structure of the society must be developed by such a visionary that these different species does not become the master of the Matrix. No one can imagine Sadashiva as an economist! If Sadashiva allows money in the area of knowledge transmission, the number of years of education will be increased and the quality of the education will be drastically reduced. Because the more number of years you have them under your control, the more money you make. When I study Sadashiva’s economics from the Agama, I can understand one thing: The whole spindle is on “oneness”. Even in your day to day life, he constantly reminds you about the oneness. Where you need to pay, where you don’t need to pay, where things are given to you free – even these things do not lead you to frustration. The amount of frustration this generation is facing, one of the major reason is that they are realizing that they are being exploited. Exploited by prevalent things. Prevalent is different, existence is different. Planet Earth is existence. Ownership of prevalent. When prevalence takes over your innerspace and controls your decision making, understand you are an agent of the Matrix. Till the British occupied us, we were the richest economy in the world. Stealing everything from us and making us believe that we are poor because of our tradition! Creating atrocity material – huge store of literature and making us believe that we are poor because we are Hindu! They have even coined the ugly word “Hindu Rate of Growth”. You need to again and again and again drill the way you think, the way you cognize, the way you decide the goal of your life. Is it prevalence based items or existence based reality. Understand. Whatever is prevalent but not existence is artificial ignorance that has take over humanity. The concept of currency, the concept of ownership. I am not saying concept of currency should not be there or ownership should not be there. I am saying that should not be your goal of your purpose. First point: Understand the matrix. When I studied Sadashiva’s economics, I saw he is very clear that people should not be caught in the matrix. He is very clear prevalent things are different and existential things are different. Even when you start questioning, you will understand that the prevalent is kept in its boundary. So it is not allowed to take over existence. So human beings are kept in every possible comfort, joy, love without being bought under the maya matrix. Believing prevalence is reality is immaturity. Understanding prevalence and reality is maturity. Aligning yourself with reality is renunciation – Vairagya. Understanding the Maya Matrix. Definition of courage is not absence of fear. Powerful-ness where fear cannot make you powerless is courage. Courage means not absence of information. Inability of information to make you powerless is courage. The ferociousness you need to use to break from the maya matrix. Once you break from the maya matrix, the same ferociousness you will use to break the rules of the maya matrix even within the maya matrix. That is what I call manifestation of powers.” – His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda The plunder during the Mughal and pre-British era Foreign invaders attacked our temples and removed all the gold from the covering itself. Mahmud of Ghazni is said to have plundered, the 17 times for gold. It was looted, destroyed, and resurrected several ​ ​ times. Home to one of the 12 Jyotirlings of India, the temple city of Somnath or Prabhas Patan is situated in the state of Gujarat on the Arabian Sea. It is said the temple was once completely covered with gold. Naturally, the realization that this land was a golden bird, plunderers and invaders kept coming for thousands of years.

The British loot In 1750, when Robert Clive came back with 900 large ships of gold coins, ​ ​ diamonds, pearls, silver etc. from India, there was a discussion in the London Parliament. Then British prime minister was stunned to hear about the amount of gold. More shocking was that it was just from a few ports and trade centers, such as Calcutta (Bengal), not the entire country. By controlling the ports, ​ ​ they controlled the import and export. Next, they took over all the trade. Clive was an extremely corrupt officer. He and his companions were the cause of a lot of cruel atrocities on innocent people. He was tried for his crimes and later committed suicide. Recently one of Robert Clive’s wrecked ships was found under the ocean containing chests with gold coins. This loot from 1700 didn’t end till the political independence of the county in 1947. The graph below shows how India’s GDP fell during the British era.

The Illegal Freezing of Charitable Trust Bank Accounts The first attack after the morphed video which the conspirators did on Paramahamsa Nithyananda was on the finances, the bank account. The bank accounts were completely illegally frozen by vested interests. As we see from the history. The first attacks always happened on weakening us economically. Destruction of The Education System by Macaulay State of Indian Education, before Macaulay’s English Education act, 1835 Major Data Sources 1. Official Survey of Indigenous Education in the Madras: 1822-26, which was order by the British Government and executed by the district collectors in accordance to the circular sent from the Board of Revenue. 2. Extracts from W. Adam’s State of Education in Bengal: 1835-38 3. Unofficial survey made by G.W. Leitner in Punjab: 1882

Overview of University Education a Millennium before Macaulay – Universities at Nalanda, Taxila and Vikramashila Universities in Nalanda, Taxila and Vikramashila flourished under the patronage of the Hindu Gupta Empire in the 5th and 6th centuries and later under Harsha, the emperor of Kannauj. From the large numbers of texts that Yijing carried back with him after his 10-year residence at Nalanda, that there must have been a well-equipped library. Libraries of Nalanda (Dharmaganja) – 3 Large multi-storeyed buildings It is estimated that they housed a few hundreds of thousands of books: 1. The Ratnodadhi (Sea of Jewels) : Nine storeys high and housed the most sacred manuscripts 2. The Ratnasagar (Ocean of Jewels), 3. The Ratnaranjaka (Jewel-adorned) Destroyed It was ransacked and destroyed by an army of the Mamluk Dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate under Bakhtiyar Khilji in c. 1200 CE. It is said when Bakhtiyar Khilji’s army invaded they burned the biggest Vedic library in the history of mankind.

Burned Libraries

There were so many books that the fire burnt continuously for 6 months What was lost? Religious manuscripts, Grammar, Logic, Literature, Astrology, Astronomy, and medicine. The Nalanda library had a classification scheme which was possibly based on a text classification scheme developed by the Sanskrit linguist, Panini. Buddhist texts were most likely divided into three classes based on the Tripitaka’s three main divisions: the Vinaya, Sutra, and the Abhidhamma. What was destroyed included, extensive research and development was done in the fields of astronomy, mathematics, consciousness, arts, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ architecture, construction, civil engineering and medicine. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ We don’t even know what we lost! It can be easily understood by the following example. Aryabhata, one the ​ pioneers in the field of mathematics and astronomy from that era. Aryabhata’s value for the length of the sidereal year at 365 days 6 hours 12 ​ minutes 30 seconds is only 3 minutes 20 seconds longer than the modern scientific value of 365 days 6 hours 9 minutes 10 seconds. Which is like an ​ error margin of 0.000633762% . ​

Kerala school of astronomy and mathematics[i] ​ 1. The achievements of Kerala School of mathematics were documented by Englishman C. M. Whish in 1835. This is about nine years later to the date of the Survey of Indigenous Education in the Madras 1822-26. 2. In attempting to solve astronomical problems, the Kerala school independently created a number of important mathematics concepts. 3. Some noteworthy discoveries and contributions were made in the field of : 4. Infinite series, Calculus, differentiation and integration, Functions, ​ Trigonometric functions, derivatives of trigonometric functions (later know as Taylor-Maclaurin) infinite series of sin(x), cos(x) and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ arctan(x), Leibniz method using quadrature, infinite series of ​ ​ arctan(x), infinite series expression for π (later known as ​ ​ ​ Gregory series), rational approximation of the error for the finite ​ sum of their series, special infinite series to obtain a more rapidly ​ converging series for π. ​ [i] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala_school_of_astronomy_and_mathematics Traces of Sanskrit terminologies Sanskrit English

Anamika Anonymous Until a few thousand years ago, and in some cases just up until a few hundred years ago, India was the only civilization which had already made important discoveries in mathematics, trigonometry, calculus, medicine, metallurgy etc. Hence all those terminologies were already part of Sanskrit. As Arabic & European civilizations adopted and study these sciences, the words evolved into their modern forms but it is well known that the knowledge has root in India. The number of words in other languages which seem to have been originzated from Sanskrit is vast.[1][2] ​ References: [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Sanskrit_origin ​ [2] http://www.hitxp.com/articles/culture/sanskrit-greek-english-latin-roman-words-derived-pie-proto-indo-european-language/ ​ Overview of the primary school education system right before Macaulay 1. The Indian Education system, which was at least a few thousand ​ ​ ​ years old, older than most Abrahamic religions, was completely ​ wiped out in a century during the British Rule. 2. Based on the reports, the Governor, Sir Thomas Munro, was of the view that institutional education of the boys between the ages of 5 ​ to 10 years appeared to be a little more than 1/4th, nearer to 1/3rd ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ of the boys of that age in the Presidency as a whole[i]. Madras ​ ​ Presidency represented literally 1/3rd of India. ​ ​ ​ ​ 3. The survey carried out in Madras Presidency was done a specific prescribed format. The numbers of schools, colleges were to be mentioned. The student population had to be described as per gender (Male, Female, Transgender) and as Brahmin, Vaishya, Shudra and Other castes. 4. Sir Thomas Munro, the Governor, observed that the Indian ​ education would certainly have been far ahead during its glorious peak[ii], during the times the times of Takshila and ​ ​ Nalanda University. But right then, during 1830s, Indian education ​ system was already damaged and suffering due to series of invasion and increasing poverty of the population. ​ 5. As per W. Adam’s report, there was at least one school in every ​ village. He observed that there exist about 1,00,000 village ​ ​ schools in Bengal and Bihar around the 1830s.[iii] [i][ii] Thomas Munro in his review of 10 March 1826.

The content of studies was better than what was then studied in England. 2. The economy at which education was imparted impressed British ​ collectors that they suggested it be replicated in Britain [i], which ​ ​ ​ indeed did inspire the British education later on. 3. The duration of study was more prolonged. The collectors (apart ​ ​ from Nellore and Salem) stated that the duration of study varied from a minimum of 5 to about a maximum of 15 years [ii]. Average ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ schooling year in Britain was 1 year in 1835, and 2 years in 1852. 4. For Indian traditional schools typical age of enrolment was 5 years. The duration of schooling hours was also much longer. It started ​ ​ at 6 AM, had one or two short intervals for meals, finishing about at ​ ​ sunset [iii]. ​ ​ 5. The method of school teaching was superior and it is this very method which is said to have greatly helped the introduction of ​ popular education in England but which had prevailed in India for ​ centuries. 6. School attendance, especially in the districts of the Madras ​ Presidency, even in the decayed state of the period 1822-25, was ​ proportionately far higher than the numbers in all variety of schools in England in 1800[iv]. ​ ​ 7. The conditions under which teaching took place in the Indian schools were less dingy and more natural; and, it was observed, the teachers in the Indian schools were generally more dedicated and sober than in the English versions. Education was imparted ​ without violence[v]. ​ [i] The economy with which children ar​ e taught to write in the native schools, and the system by which the ​ more advanced scholars are caused to teach the less advanced and at the same time to confirm their own knowledge is certainly admirable, and well deserved the imitation it has received in England. – A.D. ​ Campbell, Collector, Bellary, 17th August 1823. ​ [ii][iii][iv] The Beautiful Tree, Dr. Dharampal, Page 30, 31, 20 ​ ​ ​ ​ FRA PAOLINO DA BARTOLOMEO, ON EDUCATION OF CHILDREN IN INDIA, (Born at Hos, Austria, 1748, as John Phillip Wesdin; in India 1776 to 1789.

(National Library of Scotland Edinburgh: Walker of Bowland Papers 184 a 3, Chapter 31: pp.501-27) A few unique aspects of the primary education (As identified by British) 1. Monitorial System[i][ii] – For initial mode of learning and not for ​ ​ ​ higher education a novel method of education existed where the pupils were monitors of each other. Example – The tutor would choose some 3-4 monitors and impart them a particular lesson. For instance – the multiplication table. The monitors would sit crossed legged on a sandy ground, and recite the multiplication table (sometimes like a song), “one by itself makes one.” Along with reciting, the monitor would also write the same on the sand with his finger. After this other students repeated the same task. The ground by now had to be planned for the next lesson. The monitors would then start with the multiplication table of two and so on. The process was unique as it involved the following 2. Low cost to benefit ratio. No use paper and pen. ​ 3. Redundancy: There were 3-4 monitors and thus if even if one of ​ them made a mistake, he was likely to be corrected by the other three. All four were unlikely to make the exact same mistake. 4. Scalability: The system allowed a single teacher to handle a large ​ number of students. 5. The stolen idea: The system was adopted by the British, ​ repackaged as Bell’s “Madras System” with the idea to produce a “Christian Education” and “train children in the practice of such moral habits as are conducive to the welfare of society.” The system was introduced in several countries. With time however it was replaced with other systems particularly – the lecture model of direct instruction delivered to passive students grouped into classes by age. 6. Teaching not confined to classroom and linked to nature. ​ ​ 7. Close relationship between student and teacher ​ ​ 8. Memorization: The children were known to memorize multiplication ​ tables as far as 100[iii]. In current era, it is often limited to 16. ​ ​

Imparted Education to commons 1. The term Scheduled caste and Scheduled Tribes did not exists ​ ​ ​ ​ during that era, but were mentioned as ‘other castes’ (also known ​ ​ as ‘pachamas’) in the report[i]. ​ ​ 2. 70% of the students (70% in Salem and Tinnevelly to over 84% in ​ South Arcot) were from ‘Shudra’ community[i]. and ‘other castes’. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ This was the trend for most of country. The lowest was observed in Telgu speaking districts 35%. 3. Around 20% of the students were of of ‘Brahmin’ and the ​ ​ ​ ​ ‘Vaishya’ community[i]. ​ ​ ​ 4. In some villages of Bihar, ‘Chandal’ and ‘Dom’ jati accounted for ​ ​ ​ ​ 50% of the students. In Bihar, nowhere did the ‘Brahmin’ and ‘Kayastha’ jati accounted for more than 40% of the total students [ii]. ​ ​ 5. All professions, traditions were respected. There was dignity of labour, farmer, priest, every part of the society. For example, a book on agriculture, used in that era, the second verse of the book, declares, “that if a learned priest who has knowledge of 4 vedas, even after learning 4 vedas if looks down at farming considering it inferiror, that person is surely to suffer from poverty”. The context of this verse is that all professions, including farming should be respected.

Superficial look at the numbers seems to suggest that the Brahmin community has the maximum population of the school going children. But if one looks at the Tamil Nadu region, he will see that it is actually the Sudra community (as labled by the British) which consists of the maximum school going children. If the average is taken of all regions put together, it is noticed the it is actually the Sudras which had the highest numbers of ​ school going children. In such circumstances, the allegations made the Hindus ​ deprived non-Brahmin community from education is untenable as per the official colonial era British records itself.

[i][ii] The Beautiful Tree, Dr. Dharampal, Page 88, Page 54 ​ ​ ​ ​ Institutions of Higher Learning – Colleges 1. The term, ‘Institutions of Higher learning’ was used in the report to indicate colleges. ​ 2. The exact data on total number of colleges is not reliably available, as many collectors had not reported the required data, but based on the districts that were rigorously surveyed, for every 10 ​ schools, there was one‘Institute of Higher learning’.[i] ​ 3. Rajahmundry – 279 colleges – for about 1000 villages, ​ Coimbatore – 173 colleges, Guntoor – 171 colleges, Tanjore – ​ ​ ​ ​ 109 colleges, Nellore – 107 colleges, North Arcot – 69 colleges, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Salem – 53 colleges, Chingleput – 51colleges, Masulipatam – 49 ​ ​ ​ ​

4. The disciplines of Theology, Metaphysics, Ethics, and to a large ​ ​ extent of the study of Law was dominated by ‘’ ​ ​ ​ ​ community.[i] ​ ​ 5. But the disciplines of Astronomy, Medical Science and ​ ​ ​ ​ technology based disciplines (such as Iron Work, Metallurgy, ​ Ship building, Mechanics, Textile machinery) were dominated by other communities, notably ‘Shudra’ community.[i] ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 6. It should also be noted that adherence of a jati to discipline was not rigid. A person of ‘Shudra’ jati, could very well be in a discipline dominated by the ‘Brahman’ jati and vice-versa. [i] The Beautiful Tree, Dr. Dharampal, Page 35 ​ ​

Institutions of Higher Learning – Medicine & Surgery 1. The data on exact number of colleges that were offering MS degree is not reliably available 2. The educators and practitioners of surgery were often of the ​ ​ Shudra jati. Amongst them the Nayi jati was considered to the best ​ ​ by the British. In modern era however Nayis are considered to be marginal barbers[ii][iii]. ​ ​ ​ 3. The education Ayurveda (Indian traditional medicine) was based ​ ​ on ancient texts such as Charaka Saṃhitā . ​ 4. Sutra Sthana (General principles), Nidana Sthana (Pathology), ​ ​ Vimana Sthana (training of a physician, ethics, etc), Sarira Sthana ​ ​ (embryology & anatomy of a human body (with a section on other ​ ​ ​ ​ living beings)), Indriya Sthana (Sensory organ based prognosis), Cikitsa Sthana (Therapeutics), Kalpa Sthana (Pharmaceutics and ​ ​ toxicology), Siddhi Sthana (Success in treatment) ​ 5. Other text books : Sham Raj, Nighant, Sharang Dhar, Bhashya Parichehed, Madhava Nidan, Vagbhat 6. The education of surgery was based on ancient texts such as medico–surgical compendium Suśruta Saṃhitā (c. 500 BC), which ​ were written by the ayurvedic physician Sushruta (c. 800 BC) who ​ ​ is considered the father of modern Surgery. It covers anatomy, ​ ​ treating fractures, general surgery, reconstructive plastic surgery, ​ ​ anaesthetics, rhinoplasty, perineal lithotomy, the suturing of ​ wounds, and the extraction of foreign objects etc. The level of detail it covers goes into describing how foetus develops seven layers of skin, naming each layer and the specific diseases which may affect that layer in adult life, which is unimaginable for that era and made possible today only by microscopy, ultrasonography and X–rays. 7. ‘Cutting of nose’ or “naak kata leyna” has traditionally been considered as a sign of shame in India. There have been numerous cases when a British officer, a high ranking officer, or ​ his sub-ordinate, lost his nose partially or completely during war ​ ​ ​ (with an Indian kingdom), as a sign of shame inflicted on him. Battles between Haider Ali and Colonel Coote being noteworthy examples[iv]. Sometimes the cut nose was completely burned to ​ ​ ​ avoid being surgically fixed. Even such cases were treated by a ​ complete reconstruction of nose along with nostrils. But it was only possible by an Indian surgeon (or Nayi). Interestingly such surgeons were available at the village level. In current era it is unimaginable to find a surgeon let alone a plastic surgeon in an Indian village. The Indian surgical practises were not only advanced they involved use of anaesthesia[v] which was unknown to the ​ ​ ​ west as thus the operation was not barbarous and painful as in the west. 8. The education and practise of surgery was not limited to male population. For example – W Adam, in his report, pp 119 – 122, for district Purneah, described an old woman surgeon who had become reputed for extracting the stone from the bladder. 9. The practical value of this traditional system of education of medical science and surgery was presence of low price and yet reliable medical facilities even at the village level. W Adam for example in his report describes the Thana of Nattore in the district of Rajshahy – The population was 1,20,928; it had 485 villages had 123 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ native general medical practitioners, 205 village doctors, 21 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ smallpox inoculators, 297 women-midwives[vi]. In modern India, ​ ​ ​ ​ in 1973, the Kartar Singh Committee of the Government of India had recommended that there should be 1 midwife (Auxiliary nurse ​ ​ midwife – ANM) available per 10,000-12,000 people[vii].For Thana ​ ​ ​ of Nattore as surveyed by W Adam, the ratio was amazingly 1 ​ midwife per 408. This is 2456% more than what the government ​ ​ ​ ​ is recommending in the modern era. This shows that the ​ availability of health care specialists was amazing. In modern era the child mortality rate in India is extraordinarily high, at 48 per 1000, for year 2015[viii]. ​ ​ 10. Smallpox inoculation (vaccination) is said to be the first ​ ​ ​ vaccination developed, and Edward Jenner (in 1796) is credited to be the founding father. But much like how plastic surgery was copied from India, same is the case with smallpox inoculation, which was practiced in India since ancient times [ix][x][xi][xii][xiii][xiv]. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ However unlike surgery the credit has not been given to the Indian origin.

Destruction of Education system Macaulay’s English Education act, 1835 To Zachary Macaulay, 12 October 1836

Our English schools are flourishing wonderfully. We find it difficult, indeed at some places impossible, to provide instruction for all who want it. At the single town of Hoogley fourteen hundred boys are learning English. The effect of this education on the Hindoos is prodigious. No Hindoo who has received an English education ever continues to be sincerely attached to his religion. Some continue to profess it as a matter of policy. But many profess themselves pure Deists, and some embrace Christianity……. It is my firm belief that, if our plans of education are followed up, there will not be a single idolater among the respectable classes in Bengal thirty years hence. And this will be effected without any efforts to proselytise, without the smallest interference with religious liberty, merely by the natural operation of knowledge and reflection. I heartily rejoice in this prospect….

No doubt, education decayed and illiteracy increased during the British period.

According to Sir Henry Lawrence, there was one school for every 1783 inhabitants of the most backward division of the Punjab at the time of annexation. But thirty years later in 1881, ‘there is one school of whatever sort, to every 9,028 inhabitants’, according the President of the Educational Commission. William Adam estimated that there was 11% literacy in the Thana of Nattore during 1830s. A century later the British considered this an accomplishment in many parts of India.

Food, Agriculture 1770 Famine in Bengal In 1750s, from Bengal Robert Clive may have got a thousand ships of gold. But soon after we saw a big famine. The Bengal Famine of 1770 (Bengali: ৭৬-এর মর, Chhiattōrer monnōntór; lit The Famine of ’76) was a famine between 1769 and 1773 (1176 to 1180 in the Bengali calendar) that affected the lower Gangetic plain of India from Bihar to the Bengal region. The famine is estimated to have caused the deaths of up to 1 crore (10 million people). Warren Hastings’s 1772 report ​ ​ estimated that a third of the population in the affected region starved to ​ ​ death.

Bengal famine of 1943

As per Wikipedia : Bengal famine 1943-44 ​ The Bengal famine of 1943-44 (Bengali: Pañcāśēra manwantara) was a ​ ​ ​ ​ major famine in the Bengal province[A][B] in British India during World War II. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ An estimated 2.1 million[C] people died from starvation and diseases ​ ​ ​ ​ aggravated by malnutrition, population displacement, unsanitary conditions, ​ ​ ​ ​ and lack of health care. Millions were impoverished as the crisis overwhelmed ​ ​ large segments of the economy and social fabric. Bengal’s economy was predominantly agrarian. For at least a decade before ​ ​ the crisis, between half and three quarters of those dependent on agriculture were already at near subsistence level. The underlying causes of the famine include inefficient agricultural practices, over-population, and de-peasantisation through debt bondage and land grabbing. Proximate ​ ​ ​ ​ causes involve local natural disasters – a cyclone, storm surges and flooding, ​ ​ ​ ​ and rice crop disease – and various consequences arising from war. The ​ ​ government prioritised military and defense needs, allocating medical care and food disproporionately to the military and civil servants. These factors were compounded by restricted access to grain: domestic sources were constrained by emergency inter-provincial trade barriers, while access to ​ ​ international sources was largely denied by the War Cabinet of Great Britain. ​ ​ The relative impact of each of these contributing factors to the death toll and economic devastation is still a matter of controversy. Different analyses frame ​ ​ the famine against natural, economic, or political causes. The government was slow to provide humanitarian aid, at first discouraging ​ ​ hoarding. It attempted to influence the price of rice paddy through price ​ controls. These created a black market and encouraged sellers to withhold ​ ​ ​ stocks; moreover, prices soared when the controls were abandoned. Relief ​ efforts in the form of gruel kitchens, agricultural loans and test works were ​ both insufficient and ineffective through the worst months of the food crisis phase. A long-established and detailed Famine Code would have triggered a ​ ​ sizable increase in aid, but the provincial government never formally declared a state of famine. Relief efforts increased significantly when the military took control of crisis relief in October 1943, and more effective aid arrived after a record rice harvest that December. Deaths from starvation began to decline, but “very substantially more than half” of the famine-related fatalities were caused by disease in 1944, after the food security crisis had subsided.[1] ​ ​ ​ had said, “Ganga will have to be come red…to get people from Bengal to get out of the poverty consciousness and insensitivity wreaked on them because of the man-made famines”[Reference missing] ​ Hindu Food Security Model Hinduism, is a civilization, rooted on the Shastras, an unbroken civilization since more than 10,000 years. Naturally it had already thought of solutions to problems such a famine and food security. The very reason why this problem happened in the first place was because of destruction of “Hindu Food Security Model”. As already earlier mentioned, SadaShiva gave basic principles of Hindu economics clearly in Agamas Wherever things do not reduce by sharing – like education, it has to be give free. Education within the matrix is aparavidya. Education beyond the matrix is paravidya. Sadashiva is very clear. Even for apara-vidya you cannot charge.The services that need to be done everyday – the survival things, ​ like food, medicine footwear etc he allows bartering. And only for the ​ things that are longterm – such as consutrction – he allows currency transaction The destruction of the Gurukul Education system and Shashtras was the major reason for the collapse of food security which still continues even after independence of the country. The food security model during that era was as follows 1. A farmer would grow his crops. 2. In case of a failure he will go to the temple. 3. The temple cellars would have some donated grains collected by elderly men of the village. 4. The elderly men would give the grains on loan to the farmer as much as he wanted on loan basis. 5. Then the next year the farmer would return the same amount of grains + interest in form of grains to the temple. 6. The interest charged would be only simple interest. There was a complete different set of agricultural accounting which was different from commercial accounting. The rules for bartering, charging interests, writing off grain loans etc, where completely different. The whole idea of compound interest was necessarily not there, because the whole point of the bank was not to exploit but to build food security for the village. “Krsi-Parasara” is one of the surviving agriculture accounting text of that era. 7. This would slowly create a reserve of grains which would be useful in case of a famine. In case of famine the entire village would get the grains and all grain loans could be written off for the welfare of the large. Because there was no artificial currency associated with this write off, there was no corresponding hyper-inflation which hits ​ ​ the modern economy in many others ways in case of a major financial crisis. 8. A neighboring village would even have the possibility to borrow(take loan) from another village in case of distress. The system was not highly institutionalized, and more like a dharmic seva started and handled by elderly people of the village, but it was this decentralized storage of grains with the context of – ‘Yes to Life’ from Agamas and Shashtras which protected the human civilization from agrarian crisis and famines for millenniums. 9. The discontinuity of agriculture education, and education of agricultural accounting because of collapse of Gurukul System added further to the reason of discontinuity food banking system.

The destruction of the Gurukul Education system and Shashtras contributed to the collapse of food security and agrarian crisis, which still continues even after independence of the country. The collapse of decentralized food security system might have been revived, had that system been in place after the end of colonial eta. In the following video we can see how the current commercial agriculture is not able to sustain the requirements of farmers and they are throwing their agriculture produce because sale price is lower than cost of production. ​ In the Gurukul education there was dignity of labour, farmer, priest & every part of the society. For example, a book on agriculture, used in that era, the second verse of the book, declares, “that if a learned priest who has knowledge of 4 vedas, even after learning 4 vedas if looks down at farming considering it inferior, that person is surely to suffer from poverty”. The context of this verse is that all professions, including farming should be respected.

A rich source of the state of Indian agriculture in the early British era is a report prepared by a British engineer, Thomas Barnard, and his Indian guide, Raja Chengalvaraya Mudaliar, around 1774. This report contains data of agricultural production in about 800 villages in the area around Chennai in the years 1762 to 1766. This report is available in Tamil in the form of palm leaf manuscripts at Thanjavur Tamil University, and in English in the Tamil Nadu State Archives. A series of articles in The Hindu newspaper in the early 1990s authored by researchers at The Centre for Policy Studies highlight the impressive production statistics of Indian farmers of that era. A similar comparison of Bengal from William Adam’s report of agricultural production tonnage per hectare during 1800s is even more than today’s agricultural production tonnage per hectare with all available techniques. The hindu organic agriculture system surely had a profound positive impact on the food security of mankind.

Knowledge Commerce Expertise Surgery Kashmiri Shaivism

Full Timeline of Kashmiri Shaivism

PERIOD DESCRIPTION

Shiva reveals "Vijñāna " to devi.

Durvasa received from Shiva the spiritual mission of keeping the tradition and secrets of Agamic Shaivism alive Durvasa created his son, Tryambaka Natha, directly from the mind. Tryambaka Natha also created a son directly from his mind - Shruti Era > Tryambakaditya. 10,000 years After initiating him completely in Bhairava Tryambakanatha entered ago a cave which is known as Tryambaka Guha (cave) and disappeared.

Triambakaditya, is regarded as the first teacher of Kashmiri Saivism. Systematic consolidation was done only later by Abhinavagupta.

This went on for 15 generation terminating with the father of Sangamaditya, who was unable to produce a child with spiritual powers. He married and had a child, Varsaditya. The first known guru of Saiva Siddhanta tradition was Maharishi 250 BC Nandinatha, who lived around 250 BC in the present day Kashmir.

Tirumular was a Tamil Shaivite mystic and writer, considered one of the sixty-three Nayanars and one of the 18 Siddhars. His main work, the Tirumantiram forms a part of the key text of the Tamil , the Tirumurai. Tirumular's was from Maharishi Nandinatha's lineage, and is a link between Tamil and Kashmiri Shaivism.

Kashmiri Shaivism flourished throughout India, Orrisa & Maharashtra etc. 250 BC - 800 Varsaditya also married and produced one son named Arunaditya whom he AD initiated fully in Shivagamas. Arunaditya son named Ananda whom he initiated and who was also completely informed practically in Saivism. Bhagwan Shiva revealed "Shiva Sutras" to Vasugupta. Sage Ananda had a son named Somanandanatha. Vasugupta and Ananda were gurus of Somanandanatha. 855 - 883 Bhatta Kallata was another pupil of Vasugutpa 855 - 883 He wrote Spanda-vritti, and Spanda-karika. Somanandanatha was the originator of the Pratyabhijna School of Saivism 875-925 and the author of the "Siva Dristi". Somanandanatha's disciple, Utpaladeva carried on the tradition.

Utpaladeva disciple Laksmanagupta carried on the tradition. 900-950 Utpaladeva wrote Pratyabhigna-sutra, which forms the basis of Pratyabhigna Saivism branch of Kashmiri Shaivism. Laksmanagupta's disciple Abhinavagupta compiled what we know as Kashmiri Shaivism today. Abhinavagupta took teaching from all the schools of Shaivism and reached spiritual liberation himself, after which he took on the huge undertaking of uniting all these schools into one coherent system. His main work is Tantraloka. 950-1016 Abhinavagupta - completed over 35 works, major ones are: Paramartha-sara Pratyabhigna-vimarsini Tantraloka - is considered his main work. It is the largest and most famous. It is an encyclopaedic treatise on all the philosophical and practical aspects of Trika and Kaula. Abhinavagupta's disciple Rajanaka Kṣemarāja and Atrigupta continued the tradition. Some notable works of Kṣemarāja are as follows: Sivasutra-vimarsini Spanda-sandoha 1000-1100 Commentaries

Pratyabhijnahridayam - main tenets of the Pratyabhijna system.

Vijnanabhairavodyota - on Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra.

Shivasutravimarsini - on Shiva Sutras.

1150–1200 Jayaratha wrote several commentaries on Abhinavagupta's works.

Mataji Lalleshwari (Lal Deed) was a very famous Kashmiri Shaivite saint. She was married at a young age, and left home and took sannyas at the age of 24 becoming a disciple of the Shaivite guru, Srikantha (Sed Bayu). 1320–13 92 Sufi preachers of the era, such as Nund Rishi (Sheikh Noor ud-Din Wali) where highly influenced by her. Nund Rishi (Sheikh Noor ud-Din Wali) has in one of his poems prayed to God to grant him the same level of spiritual achievement as God had bestowed on Lal Ded.

This era witnessed oppression on Hindus, with forced conversion, jazia 1346–1580 taxation targeting only Hindus, destruction of deities, etc.

Sultan Sikandar imposed taxes on non–Muslims, forced conversions to 1389-1413 Islam, and earned the title But–Shikan for destroying idols.

During this era, Hinduism declined and is described in works of sufi preacher such as Sheikh Nooruddin Noorani, who is traditionally revered by Hindus as Nund Rishi who combined elements of with

Sufi mysticism in his discourses. Although Kashmiri Shaivism and Hinduism in general declined, it was still very much alive in the valley for another 500 years until 1991 when it was completely wiped off. 1589 Mughals king Akbar annexed Kashmir

1658 His successor Aurangzeb's rule was very oppressive towards Hindus.

The ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, like his predecessors was opposed to conversion of the local population as he considered it wrong. Guru Tegh Bahadur was approached by Kashmiri Pandits to help them retain their faith 1670 and avoid forced religious conversions, Guru Tegh Bahadur took on Aurangzeb. The emperor perceived the rising popularity of the Guru as a threat to his sovereignty and in 1670 had him executed. This event laid the foundation of Khalsa and Sikh Empire. Afghan rule in Kashmir was extremely cruel and oppressive, particularly for 1750 the Hindus. Locals were extorted from, captured and forced into slavery during this period. Sikh rule initially continued the exorbitant taxes and the land witnessed abject poverty. However, after a famine in 1832, the Sikhs reduced the land 1820 tax to half the produce of the land and also began to offer interest-free loans to farmers; Kashmir became the second highest revenue earner for the Sikh empire.

Philosophy

According to the Trika Darsana (Kashmiri Shaivism) there are three essential realities:

The Supreme Transcendent - Śiva The Supreme Creative Energy, immanent in creation - Śakti The Spiritual Atom, the limited atom or individual - aṇu (sometimes nara - man)

Anu is a microcosm, a complete image, on a reduced scale, of the macrocosm, and in permanent resonance on multiple levels with the macrocosm (universe). The resonance (link) between the microcosm and the macrocosm is Sakti, the only one who can help Anu recover his lost knowledge - that he is one with Siva. This is all possible because of the completely free will of Siva - Svatantrya Sakti."

ERA DESCRIPTION

1346–1580 This era witnessed oppression on Hindus, with forced conversion, jazia taxation targeting only Hindus, destruction of deities, etc.

1389-1413 Sultan Sikandar imposed taxes on non–Muslims, forced conversions to Islam, and earned the title But–Shikan for destroying idols. During this era, Hinduism declined and is described in works of sufi preacher such as Sheikh Nooruddin Noorani, who is traditionally revered by Hindus as Nund Rishi who combined elements of Kashmir Shaivism with Sufi mysticism in his discourses. Although Kashmiri Shaivism and Hinduism in general declined, it was still very much alive in the valley for another 500 years until 1991 when it was completely wiped off.

1589 - 1658 Mughals king Akbar annexed Kashmir. His successor Aurangzeb's rule was very oppressive towards Hindus.

1670 The ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, like his predecessors was opposed to conversion of the local population as he considered it wrong. Guru Tegh Bahadur was approached by Kashmiri Pandits to help them retain their faith and avoid forced religious conversions, Guru Tegh Bahadur took on Aurangzeb. The emperor perceived the rising popularity of the Guru as a threat to his sovereignty and in 1670 had him executed. This event laid the foundation of Khalsa and Sikh Empire.

1750 Afghan rule in Kashmir was extremely cruel and oppressive, particularly for the Hindus. Locals were extorted from, captured and forced into slavery during this period.
