Preface

This Grand Narrative is the truthful story of persecution on a spiritual leader (Guru) and His community - a minority subsect of Hinduism - by the Hindu extremist militant terrorist forces. These forces are extreme, in that they want one single ‘Guruless’ ideology of Hinduism, which they can control exclusively. What they cannot digest into themselves, they systematically exterminate.

Sanatana Hindu Dharma stands on three pillars - Temples and temple-based communities, Gurukuls (ancient Hindu education system) and Guru (the living embodiment of the original Hindu ideology). To digest the Hindu minority ethnic community, the strong pillar of their existence, their ideology, their identity, their Guru is attacked.

In a genocide, terrorist, foreign mercenary tribes demolished ‘the temples’ and destroyed ‘temple communities’ (the first pillar). Later, organized greedy merchants, destroyed ‘the Gurukul’ education system (the second pillar) and made India into their colonial empire. Both these forces were well aided by the native Extremist Hindu Militant Forces. The commanders of barbarian forces were often Hindus. The Kings who signed treaties with the merchants were Hindus themselves. Finally now, when both pillars are destroyed, Extremist Hindu Militant forces want to destroy ‘the Guru’ (the last pillar).

This untold story is not of external forces, but of internal vested interests who have always remained hidden, and destroyed Sanatana Hindu Dharma internally. This is a story of how the “Truth” relentlessly persists against forces of collective negativity rooted in individual vested interests and personal agenda. It is a story of Persecution, not Controversy as made out to be by the vested interest elements.

By this we present to the compassionate reader, the need to educate ourselves and raise our awareness about – what they did to Him – so as to prevent such crimes against humanity. The decade-long relentless persecution on His Divine Holiness is a hologram of over 5000 years of the Hindu Holocaust - how an entire population is incited with hatred, violence and madness to kill through propaganda.

This narrative is written by the disciples of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda who have suffered the persecution, whose concern is the safety of their Guru. It is a prayer of His disciples to the global human community that values human life and dignity, to put an end to this persecution.

Hindu Holocaust - The Biggest in World History

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.

The greatest and most ancient living human civilization, Sanatana Hindu Dharma (Hinduism) universally declares - each individual is infinitely powerful and intelligent. The world-view of Hinduism is non-violent co-existence of empowered individuals. No single path fits all, each individual, each community is unique and has the freedom and intelligence to chose its Ultimate Divine form of worship. In it have peacefully coexisted many religions, traditions, ideologies, sects – all harmoniously supporting the religious diversities and ethnic culture heritages. In this amalgamation of different ideologies, lies the secret of all-inclusiveness or oneness.

Yet, 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.

Extremist - “an individual or organization that enforces its own ideology on other individuals and communities by use of violence, agitation, or hate propaganda.” Hinduism - is about ‘many ideologies rooted in oneness’. Hindu extremism - is about ‘one ideology’ being forced upon minority Hindu subsects.

The 5000 years of Hindu Holocaust was compressed and unleashed in all its severity and brutality on His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda in the decade-long persecution and life-attacks.

In 1971 Hindu Genocide an estimate of 300,000 to 3 million people were killed (exact numbers are an untold story of the dead victims). Similar to this, several massacres and relentless genocide on Hindus have been done over the last 5000 years. The total number of lives lost are uncountable.

Who are the Forces behind such crimes?

The Elites State-Police-Media-Mafia The elites and those who control various power structures of the society execute these crimes. Genocide is not an accident. It is driven by a massive propaganda machinery. Two or three individuals fighting cannot cause a Genocide. The whole State, Police, Media, Mafia execute Genocide in their own capacities and involvement.

Individual vested interests It is neither the State, nor the Police, not even the Mafia, ultimately it is a bunch of individuals who commit the crime. When we dig deeper, it boils down to individual psychological madness exploding into a mass euphoria to kill people cold bloodedly.

The Perpetrators of crime desire to remain hidden The perpetrators of crime want to destroy all evidences. Evidences are the people they persecuted. It is from here the persecution becomes perpetual. It becomes an unending madness to Kill - a relentless persecution. For the perpetrators of the crime to survive, the victims must be ever engaged in confusion. For when the victims come out of confusion and reveal the crimes against humanity, the perpetrators of the crime have no place to hide. Perpetrators of the crime always need a strong justification propaganda to survive. Perpetrators of the crime need to continuously shrug off any social, legal, humanitarian responsibility, or backlash. For this reason, they hide behind a complex machinery, where the crime of persecution happens but nobody is responsible.

Do the perpetrators of crime always stay hidden? The people who directly execute the crimes against humanity are always known. Sooner or later they face legal or cosmic justice. But the elite, illuminati which controls them is hidden.

The Illuminati revealed In the decade long persecution on His Divine Holiness, the mastermind of the Illuminati behind the crimes done to Him and His community is revealed. A massive majority were the Hindu Extremist Militant Forces, while the Atheistic and others were fringe elements. The persecutors, the relevant person or organization are revealed throughout this Grand Narrative as they appear in the series of attacks and events.

How do they Justify Persecution?

In a globally ‘civilized’ democratic society, justification of persecution of minorities require a complex machinery. In ancient times, minority religious spiritual communities were persecuted and exterminated using brutal violence. No justification was required.

As humanity globally civilized, and as democratic systems evolved and law and order regulations were set in place, the need to justify acts of violence was required to keep the society pacified.

In World War I, the assassination of the Prince was used to trigger and incite a huge war. Post World War I, a simple trigger or justification was no more sufficient; a complex propaganda machinery was required to incite the society to support acts of violence.

In World War II, race superiority was used as a justification for extermination of the Jewish Population.

Justification Propaganda - methodology of justifying crimes against humanity

In the following years the whole methodology became highly sophisticated, allowing silent persecution of entire population or entire community or leader in such a way that literally no social, legal or humanitarian questioning or backlash would happen.

How it is done?

7 Step process of executing a persecution

1. Segregation and Isolation “act of alienating individual from the human family, to make him vulnerable - easy to persecute.”

2. Programmed Confusion “making it impossible for victim and society to make intelligent conscious decisions, about violence against the victim.”

3. Exploiting Weaknesses “traits and weaknesses of the targeted individual or community are leveraged”

4. Justification Propaganda “a targeted propaganda to drive an ideology in the society to justify acts of violence against the victim.”

5. Silent Assassinations - Mob Lynching “carrying out assassinations using silent means (like ‘anonymous’ mob) so that no one may be blamed and it may be conveniently dismissed as an accident, natural occurrence or suicide.”

6. Relentless Persecution (Genocide) “repeat the mass attempts to kill, until the entire community is exterminated and no evidence of crime remains (no one is alive to tell the truth).”

7. Denial and diverting attention from the crimes of persecution “Rewriting persecution history - denying and hiding the crimes of persecution, and blaming the victims for their losses and deaths using BIG LIES.”

He coronated His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda as His successor as the 293rd Pontiff (Guru Maha Sannidhanam) of the ancient Thondaimandalam Aadheenam (Monastery).

METHODS TO RECOGNIZE INCARNATIONS The method to test and recognize the incarnations are many in Hinduism. The rare qualities of an incarnation do not remain hidden for long. Yet, it is those with divine insights from ancient knowledge that ‘see’ and precisely identify them.

By means of their birth circumstances, by means of evolved and enlightened spiritual masters, by means of astrological divinations from Hindu Cosmology, by means of extraordinary occurrences, by means of body symbols, body language and characteristics, the Avatar is recognised.

Recognition by contemporary Avatar - His Holiness Satya Sai Baba Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba coronates Paramahamsa Sri Nithyananda as ‘the Avatar’

Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is revered and worshipped as an Avatar, the Divinity Incarnate by millions of people worldwide. 12th June 2004 - Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba officially recognized His Holiness Paramahamsa Sri Nithyananda and formally coronated Him as The Avatar (incarnation) as per Sanatana Hindu Dharma. He personally sent and gifted three divine items to Paramahamsa Nithyananda. The President of the Shri Sathya Sai Trust, along with a group of devotees of Bhagawan Sathya Sai Baba-ji visited the Bengaluru Aadheenam, Nithyananda Peetham and reverentially performed homa (ceremonial fire ritual) and Paduka Puja (ceremonial worship), and made these divine offerings of Swarna Padukas (two sacred golden sandals) and Kirita (the divine golden crown).

They uncompromisingly prepared his physiology, psychology and neurology at all levels – not to be just an adept, but to be the next spiritual leader.

Roots of Persecution

Hindu Extremist Militant organizations want a ‘one ideology’ Hinduism

The Extremist Hindu Militant forces are carrying an ethnic cleansing on ancient minority religious subsects to ensure that only “one ideology” of Hinduism remains, which they can control and exterminate.

Several crores of public money was spent on attacking and persecuting His Divine Holiness. Rs. 300 million, and a 600-battalion of paramilitary force headed by the State Government was used in a single attack in 2012 in Bengaluru Aadheenam (Temple-Monastery). Similar attacks have happened over the last decade on several Hindu temples and monasteries of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda by the State Government, State Police, and Media mafia headed by Extremist Hindu Militant Forces.

Hindu Extremist organizations wanted to take over

In the year 2009, the Hindu Militant Religious organizations wanted to obtain control over the organizations self-created by His Divine Holiness. His Divine Holiness had already spread to an international level, guiding devotees and disciples across 33 countries.

The World Factbook - 2018. It identifies VHP (Vishwa Hindu Parishad) and Bajrang Dal as militant organizations.

Pressure groups that are working against His Divine Holiness The four involved groups are:

● VISHWA HINDU PARISHAD (VHP) and BAJRANG DAL Militant Wing - realize terrorists, antisocial and militant activities.

● RASHTRIYA SWAYAMSEVAK (RSS) Intellectual Wing - brainwash & militate people with nationalist topics.

● BHARATIYA JANATA PARTY (BJP) Political Wing - Leading the Hindu extremist organizations.

The four groups are run by the same single ideology - Hindu extremism. The strategists and leaders of these groups were responsible for the pressure.

They want one single ‘Guruless’ ideology of Hinduism, which they can control exclusively BJP, RSS, VHP - the political, ideological and militant wing - of the Hindu Extremist Forces have a common aim -

They want one single ‘Guruless’ ideology of Hinduism, which they can control exclusively.

As long as the Guru (spiritual teacher - the leader) can function as their puppets these organizations operate through the puppet Guru. These extremists enroll, brain wash and militate people with nationalist topics, to transfer them to their different wings to realize terrorists, antisocial and militant activities, such as stealing properties, riots, kidnapping, poisonings, and murdering people.

Gurus (spiritual teacher - the leader) that these organizations are not able to control, they persecute.

They wanted to take over His organizations

They wanted to grab the donated Wealth The strategic leaders of these organizations would put pressure on His Divine Holiness in threatening ways to give money from the charitable trusts of the organization to finance these Hindu extremist groups.

They wanted to grab the donated Lands Devotees of His Divine Holiness had generously donated land, for establishing temple-monastery complexes, reviving the temple-based lifestyle, and carrying on other socio-spiritual activities.

The Extremists forces had their eyes on the temple lands especially in prime locations such as ● Hyderabad (Temple-Monastery) land which is near the new airport and thus extremely high valued (Rs. 2 billion) ● Chennai, also located near the city’s airport, with a commercial value of 660 million rupees. ● The ancient heritage site of Bengaluru Aadheenam had a commercial value of a billion rupees. They wanted to transfer devotees to their militant wing Devotees came to His Divine Holiness for healing, peace, life solutions, seeking fulfillment and deeper truths of life for a breakthrough conscious living, which He compassionately showered on them. His disciples were the ones who wanted to shoulder His responsibility and surrender themselves to Him.

The Extremist forces wanted the devotees and disciples to be transferred to their groups. The extremists enroll, brain wash and militate people with nationalists topics to transfer them to their different wings to realize terrorist, antisocial and militant activities, such as stealing properties, riots, kidnapping, poisoning, and murdering people.

These terrorist activities are focused on minority groups of India, whom they want to either eliminate (kill) or digest (make part of their organizations).

They exploited His ‘weakness’ universalism - implanted spies Spies intruded His organization as ‘devotees’ to execute the pressure. There was no restriction for people of any ethnic background, culture or religion. For that reason, it was more likely for these spies to infiltrate, because the philosophy of His organization is universalism and peaceful co-existence.

The mastermind of the pressure groups - S Gurumurthy

S Gurumurthy is a chief strategist - ideologue - of the Hindu Extremist forces. He is the mastermind behind the activities of the Hindu Extremist forces.

He is an auditor from Chennai, South India.

Swaminathan Gurumurthy is currently serving as a part-time director of Reserve Bank of India (equivalent to the Federal Reserve of the U.S.).

Gurumurthy dethrones Kanchi mutt Shankaracharya On 3 September 2004, a manager of a temple of Kanchi mutt (an ancient Shaivite monastery of Tamilnadu, South India) was murdered. The spiritual head of the mutt was Kanchi Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati.

Gurumurthy pressurized the spiritual head to resign Gurumurthy pressurized the leader to resign and appointed the successors. (Same strategy as in the case of His Divine Holiness)

Courts declared the spiritual leader innocent After going through 181 prosecution witnesses in the nine-year trial, the spiritual leader was declared innocent by the High Court.

The Media Mafia initiated the arrest The spiritual leader was arrested based on an article by Tamil tabloid - Nakkheeran.

The Police victimized the spiritual leader during the trial for the FAKE case The Court had on record said - “the involvement of Superintendent of Police Premkumar in the case was beyond what is specified law”. Making this observation the Court had given bail to the spiritual leader which was being refused by the Police.

S Gurumurthy - Godfather of Hindu Extremist Media Houses In 2017, India Today magazine ranked Gurumurthy 30th in India’s 50 most powerful people. He is influential in Hindu Extremists Media Groups, Hindu Business families and Hindu Multinational Corporations. He is a Godfather for the Hindu Extremist Media houses who are owned by corporations which seek his advice in their family and company disputes, mergers, de-mergers, acquisitions, and takeovers. A few examples of mediations he has done - (1) Resolving demerger of a $1 Billion USD automobile company in 2002, (2) Mediating demerger - a $33 billion USD conglomerate. Persecution of religious minority leaders and groups, and dark skinned ethnic tribes Gurumurthy’s strategic planning of mob lynching and mob violence has led to the downfall of innumerable spiritual minority groups and their leaders in the last two decades.

Gurumurthy’s feud with Hindu Business families Gurumurthy claimed that he was unhappy with the aggressive corporate expansion by Dhirubhai Ambani and believed Ambani's business practices were unhealthy for the nation. Gurumurthy claimed that Goenka (owner of the newspaper - The Indian Express) entrusted Gurumurthy with fighting Dhirubhai Ambani’s company - Reliance Industries. Gurumurthy's articles in The Indian Express created stirs in the corporate world. His articles were said to have exposed the conglomerate and troubled Reliance. His articles were believed to be based on extensive study pointing out to many inappropriate practices of Reliance. A probe in this matter lasted for one-and-a-half decade. During this time, Ambani suffered a severe stroke in February 1986 which paralyzed his right hand. Today Gurumurthy has a very good relationship with the sons of the late business tycoon - Dhirubhai Ambani. Gurumurthy has mediated several mergers and demergers for the Ambani family - L&T (Larsen & Toubro Limited) demerger being an example. Source reference : Hamish McDonald (1999). The Polyester Prince: The Rise of Dhirubhai Ambani. Allen & Unwin. ISBN 978-1-86448-468-7.

Gurumurthy’s friendship with Hindu Business families

Gurumurthy is a power broker, mediator and advisor for several business families.

Several families which seek advice of Gurumurthy own the mainstream media houses of India

Gurumurthy arrested - Did he implant spies in Prime Minister’s office? Mar 21, 1987 : Gurumurthy was arrested under the official Secret act for leaking a secret conversation between then Prime minister Rajiv Gandhi and President Zail Singh. Other charges include illegally paying thousands of dollars to an American detective agency, The Fairfax group of Virginia.

“The Think-tank discussion” - a conspiracy of S Gurumurthy

December 2009 - January 2010 - S Gurumurthy introduces himself S. Gurumurthy had placed various implants in His Divine Holiness’ organization. He operated through these implants - to name a few - ● Lenin Karuppan ● Aarti Rao ● Manohar Shinde

Gurumurthy implant - Shinde - laid ground for his grand entry Manohar Shinde, pressured His Divine Holiness to organize a think-tank discussion at Nithyananda Peetham, Bengaluru Aadheenam. Manohar Shinde claimed he would be inviting - “RSS ideologue - S Gurumurthy” to share his thoughts and guide the organization. Shinde presented S Gurumurthy as a Hindu role model leader. Shinde pressured disciples of His Divine Holiness to attend the think tank discussion led by Gurumurthy.

Gurumurthy poses himself as a Hindu intellectual leader Gurumurthy posed himself as a learned scholar and master strategist of Hinduism. He spoke complex terminologies and anecdotal references from History, coming through as a highly knowledgeable person.

Gurumurthy claimed - “Hinduism is under attack” Gurumurthy shared his experience and knowledge on the challenges faced by Hinduism and Hindu leaders today, to understand what sort of system needs to be in place for ensuring a safe ecosystem for Hindus.

Gurumurthy claimed - “Hindu Gurus are under attack” Gurumurthy claimed Hinduism was under attack from anti-Hindu foreign forces. He claimed that Hinduism needed strong leaders and intellectual guidance, referring to himself.

Gurumurthy explains the strategy of extermination of Hindu Gurus He further explained what he meant by “anti-Hindu foreign forces”:

In his speech to the audience, Gurumurthy claimed, ● Implant devotees are placed in Hindu spiritual organizations by anti-Hindu foreign forces

● These implant devotees take photographs of Hindu Gurus and use image editing and morphing technologies to create fabricated obscene videos and images to blackmail the Hindu Gurus. ● The implanted women threaten the Hindu Gurus with fake charges against them. ● In this process, Hindu Gurus are being destroyed. ● Hindu Gurus needed to submit themselves to RSS-BJP-VHP for fighting these anti-Hindu foreign forces.

Gurumurthy explains some complex conspiracy theories - ‘U-turn theory’ - claims White people are threat to Hinduism He also explained what he called - U-turn theory. He claimed, white people join the Indian monasteries and eventually take over or implode the organization.

Gurumurthy claimed - White anti-Hindu forces wanted to destroy His organization The case study taken up was that of His Divine Holiness - specifically how His Divine Holiness is especially vulnerable being a young Swami and hence an easy target for such kind of attacks coupled with the open gates policy of His Divine Holiness’ organization welcoming one and all, with literally even no boundary walls.

The unsuspecting disciples start believing Gurumurthy’s claim The disciples of His Divine Holiness were naive and unsuspecting. They went completely with what was told and already started seeing Gurumurthy as their wellwisher. They started to believe his claims. They were far from suspecting Gurumurthy as a mastermind of their persecution which was about to unfold.

Gurumurthy gauges the readiness of the organization S. Gurumurthy, the mastermind of Hindu extremist ideologies, already had his implants in the organization. During the few hours of think-tank discussion program, he successfully gauged the progress of his implants in infiltrating and executing his strategy in the organization without coming under the scanner. These few hours were sufficient for him to decode the whole Nithyananda Mission - its strengths and weaknesses, disciples who were uncompromisingly devoted to the Guru (His Divine Holiness), security of the organization, its activities, first hand information about all the branches worldwide and so on.

Naive Disciples innocently share everything about the organization with Gurumurthy The naive unsuspecting disciples of His Divine Holiness innocently shared every minute detail about the entire Mission with an intention to learn from the experience of whom they now started to see as the “Hindu protagonist.”

Disciples and devotees were keen to know from Gurumurthy what their fledgling organization should be knowing to be protected from anti-Hindu forces, who Gurumurthy had identified as White-skinned foreigners.

Gurumurthy learns everything he needs to know about the organization The Hindu extremist group got all the information on a platter - all that was needed to execute their target mission - “absorption” (or rather destruction) of Nithyananda Peetham - the spiritual organization self-made by His Divine Holiness’ hard work and devotion of His devotees from 50 countries.

Conspirators and Implants: Evil Faces of the Persecution of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda

Gurumurthy had his scheme planned out about how his implants would run the Nithyananda Mission, where His Divine Holiness would either be exiled or silently assassinated by the Hindu Extremist Forces. He had multiple implants who would execute the pressure of the Hindu Extremists on His Divine Holiness’ organizations and their plans. The implants and other people involved are as follows:

1. Kalyan Raman:

(Left) Kalyan Raman. (Right) Kalyan Raman encircled in red, carrying a bag walking behind Aarthi Rao. Kalyan Raman Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) head in Chennai, Gurumurthy’s protege and executioner of all his destructive and violent strategies.

He was involved in the construction of the meditation and yoga halls, and residential accomodation for the volunteers and program participants in the Bengaluru Aadheenam, spiritual headquarters of His Divine Holiness. He was promised by Gurumurthy, the Hyderabad monastery of His Divine Holiness in return for which he would fabricate a “Non-Disclosure Agreement” (NDA) with inputs from Vinay Bharadwaj that would be used as “incriminating evidence” to frame His Divine Holiness in the false rape case to be foisted on Him. 5. CR Jairam and CR Hanumanth Two brothers who were part of the core administrative team of His Divine Holiness, planned the land donations to be sought from the devotees which was later unscrupulously given away to the implants of the extremist groups. 6. Prasanna: Accomplice of Lenin, who professed to be a devotee of His Divine Holiness and gained the confidence of other followers. He was the mole

GrandNephew of Karunanidhi. Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader and representative at national level politics. Majority stakeholder in Spicejet airlines. Spicejet was looking to acquire the lands around the Chennai airport. His eyes were on a prime property near the Chennai airport that belonged to one of the devotees of His Divine Holiness, who had donated it to His Divine Holiness for building a low cost hospital, besides establishing a temple there.

12. Hansraj Saxena:

Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Sun Television in 2010. He confessed openly on public television as well as gave a sworn statement, confessing that Sun Television had created the fabricated video by morphing His Divine Holiness’s images as if he is in a compromising position with a South Indian actress, for the purpose of extortion and blackmail of His Divine Holiness and his followers. He revealed that this has been part of the strategy of Sun Television to extort money from well-known public figures by making defamatory videos about them.

13. Ayyappan:

Right hand and business partner of Hansraj Saxena, Chief Operating Officer of Sun Television. He executed the blackmail and extortion scheme of Sun Television against His Divine Holiness and his followers using the obscene video fabricated by Lenin Karuppan and Sun

Television. He kidnapped the administrator of Nithyananda Mission to blackmail him and extort one billion rupees from the organisation, and when the administrator did not accede to the demands, Ayyappan beat him up right outside a police station as the police watched the brutal assault doing nothing to save him. The Police man only gave a salute to Ayyappan as he was highly influential.

14. B. S. Yeddyurappa:

Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Chief Minister of Karnataka in 2010. He has served three times as chief minister of Karnataka and is State president of Bharatiya Janata Party. In 2012, he had to resign from the post of chief minister after being indicted over corruption cases. Yeddyurappa was alleged to be responsible for illegal de-notification of Land. He was arrested in October 2011, after lokayukta court issued arrest warrant in two cases of corruption. He was also alleged in the infamous Rs. 36,000 crore ($500 Billion USD) Illegal Coal mining Scam, in the state of Karnataka. (Source: News18). They had a cautious approach with the Chief Minister of the State not coming out openly attacking His Divine Holiness but allowing all the justification propaganda to penetrate the psyche of the people, and then quietly ordering the arrest of His Divine Holiness. When the (Criminal Investigation Department) arrested His Divine Holiness, the negative media propaganda had created enough mob hatred to justify the illegal arrest. The arrest of an innocent was portrayed as the arrest of a hard-core criminal. 15. Charan Reddy:

DIG (Deputy Inspector General) of CID (Criminal Investigation Department) in 2010. An Indian Police service officer DIG (Deputy Inspector General) of CID (Criminal Investigation Department) in 2010. An Indian Police service officer, now holding post of Additional General Director of Police (ADGP) Karnataka. The Indian Police service is one of the three All India Services constituted under Article 312 of the Constitution of India. The IPS officers provide senior level leadership to Police Forces both in the States and at the Centre. He was the implant of the extremist militant forces in the Karnataka police brass and was deployed to kill His Divine Holiness in custody with third degree torture, that would be justified by the preceding huge negative propaganda against His Divine Holiness. 16. DV Guruprasad:

DGP (Director General of Police) and head of CID (Criminal Investigation Department) in 2010. He was the agent of the extremist militant forces heading the State police department in Karnataka, and used his unfettered power to make an open call for “victims” of the alleged sexual offences against His Divine Holiness to come forward and confess: a ploy only to justify the conspiracy to bring Aarthi Rao to press FAKE rape accusations against His false as a ‘witness,’ when their original plan to

blackmail and threaten the actress - Ranjitha Menon allegedly in the fabricated video, failed. 17. Rajeev Chandrasekhar:

A billionaire and entrepreneur who owns and runs the Kannada Prabha newspaper as well as Asianet and Suvarna television channels. It was through the Suvarna television channel in 2012 that the false rape accuser Aarthi Rao’s series of false interviews were aired. In 2012 Suvarna TV Channel with mafia gang physically attacked the Bengaluru Aadheenam, planting an anthrax letter bomb and causing havoc. 18. Sadananda Gowda:

Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Chief Minister of Karnataka in 2012. He occupied many prominent offices at various ministries at State and National levels. He was elected as the 20th Chief minister of Karnataka in 2004, served as Indian Central railway minister in 2014, cabinet minister – Law and Justice, minister of statistics and programme implementation. He also held major ministries in the State of Karnataka. Many corruption cases have been filed against him. Recently, Special Lokayukta Court filed a complaint against him alleging that he had allotted six acres of land to a trust by using his power as minister in the State cabinet. In the year 2015, another complaint of indiscriminate land allocation to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was made, when he served as chief minister of Karnataka (Source: The News Minute). In the complaint, both former Karnataka chief ministers Sadananda Gowda and B S

Yeddyurappa were alleged to allot land indiscriminately to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh when they served as chief ministers and the sanction of land to Mythic Society is one such instance. He was used as the weapon to execute the second lethal attack on His Divine Holiness to assassinate Him and take over His worldwide mission after Rajeev Chandrasekhar's Suvarna TV had created enough propaganda to justify the open brutal physical attacks on His Divine Holiness and His followers. He also ordered the illegal sealing of the entire spiritual headquarters of the Nithyananda Mission in Bengaluru, to cripple all operations in 2012. In 2012, he declared His Divine Holiness as the enemy and ordered confiscation of temple land, he gave orders for illegal detainment of His Divine Holiness, use his power to kick residents out by enforcing IPC 143,144 (Curfew), used 600-battalion police and Rs. 30 million of State public money for parading His Divine Holiness throughout the city to show His Divine Holiness as an enemy. 19. Manohar Shinde:

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief member based in United States of America. He was the implant who entered the Mission with the professed motive of providing a platform to spread His Divine Holiness’s teachings formally through the ‘International Vedic Hindu University’ (IVHU), that was meant to be the largest Hindu university worldwide. The irony in this was, His Divine Holiness’ followers contributed over 1 million US dollars to the expansion of IVHU, but Manohar Shinde, after the attack, slapped a million dollar lawsuit against His Divine Holiness, claiming fraud. 20. Ramesh Bhutada, Sivatayi, Hiten Dalal, Bala Bhat, Neil Carmen: Accomplices of Manohar Shinde who gained entry into the Mission as people who could ‘help’ implement the concept of IVHU. 21. Popatlal Savla: Real estate agent in USA. He gained the trust of His Divine Holiness and His followers in various ways, which he leveraged completely to his advantage, and against His Divine Holiness, being a key member in the conspiracy.

Poisoning to kill His Divine Holiness: 1st plot to assassinate

25 Dec 2009, Bengaluru Aadheenam, South India

It was the largest yearly celebration - the birth star anniversary (called ‘Avatar Jayanti’) of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, awaited and attended by lakhs of followers at the Bengaluru Aadheenam, the spiritual headquarters of the worldwide movement.

December 2009, Birth Star celebration at Bengaluru Aadheenam, where His Divine Holiness is seen amidst scores of followers in a public congregation.

The 10-day long celebrations involved several meditation programs, temple rituals, special food servings, cultural programs and humanitarian offerings. Several thousands of volunteers continuously served the people.

On December 23, 2009, after the evening celebrations of the day, at around 10pm, His Divine Holiness was in the main meditation hall giving public darshan (individual blessings) to the thousands gathered. He personally attended to each person, healing and spiritually guiding them.

In the Hindu tradition, the Guru (spiritual master) directly accepts the offerings from the disciples as a way to relieve them of their karma (absolving their unfulfilled past actions). Upholding this sacred tradition, on the occasion of the Birth Star celebration, His Divine Holiness made himself personally available to humanity and accepted their offerings directly with His own hands.

Devotees and followers travelled across miles, awaiting this special occasion to offer their best to their revered Guru. The offerings varied across fruits, grains, clothing, spiritual items etc. that have special spiritual significance in the Hindu culture.

December 2009, the Birth Star celebration (Avatar Jayanti) of His Divine Holiness during the ‘darshan’ (individual blessings), where several thousands received personal blessings from Him.

It was then, during that ongoing darshan amidst thousands of people being individually attended by His Divine Holiness along with His personal secretaries by the side to steer the moving queues of people, that the most unsuspected incident happened.

A lady named ‘Aarthi Rao’ walked towards His Divine Holiness holding a small bag and made a request to Him to drink a glass of juice, which she claimed she made personally as an offering to Him.

Although it was a strange request, given that customarily no personally prepared items of this nature were generally received, His Divine Holiness still accepted this offering, not denying the reverence of the people.

In a moment, His Divine Holiness took the glass from the woman to drink the juice, much to the dismay of His secretaries. As He drank the first sip, He instantly sensed that the juice did not smell or taste of a fruit; it tasted pungent and strong, having traces of bitterness on the palate, as if spoilt, with a metallic odour. Just with a single sip, as the liquid flowed through the food tract, a mix of burning and irritation sensation was felt followed by body chills and shivering.

Shortly after, His Divine Holiness retired to his quarters close by, feeling nausea, difficulty in breathing and exhaustion. Within two hours, His secretary and caretaker, Dr. Sri Nithya Pranananda, who is a physician, started noticing unusual symptoms in His Divine Holiness such as excessive body sweating, vomiting, severe stomach pain, heavy breathing and restlessness with high blood pressure and heart rate. He immediately administered medicines. Sri Nithya Pranananda understood this as a life emergency and a team of trusted doctors were called.

The doctors and medical experts rushed to attend to save the life of His Divine Holiness, as His bodily symptoms became unusual and traumatic.

Lethal Poison of Unknown Nature - Life Saved with Medical Attention

The team of doctors including ayurveda specialist and toxicologists diagnosed His Divine Holiness with ingested lethal poison of unknown nature given orally. The unknown poison seemed to be a mixed concoction of harmful chemicals. It had medium but severe exposure into the body with a risk to heart, GI (GastroIntestinal) tract and nervous system functioning.

The next day devotees who had gathered for His Birth Star celebration were eagerly expecting Him for a public discourse. The disciples managed to pacify the devotees by engaging them in different temple rituals, ceremonies and cultural programs.

His Divine Holiness endures 48 hours of trauma Meanwhile, in the next 24 hours, a series of life-saving medical treatments continued to excrete out the toxins from the body. Intravenous fluids were given to retain body fluids. He had vomited four times in first four hours. Shortly the medicines and detoxification started working and vomiting stopped. However His body continued to sweat profusely for a full day. His Divine Holiness was kept under constant medical observation for the next 48 hours after which He came out of danger.

Source of poison confirmed During such functions His Divine Holiness sits for long duration attending to people individually, without having any meal. It was the same on that day too. It was beyond any doubt that the juice offered to His Divine Holiness was a lethal poison. His Divine Holiness had taken only a sip of that poisonous juice. Had even half a glass of that poison been consumed, or had the diagnosis and treatment been delayed or wrongly done, death would have been inevitable in the traumatic 48 hours that He had endured.

His close disciples were shocked to hear about the poisoning, and were completely broken when they realized that ‘someone was wanting to kill their beloved Guru’. Immense pain and terror entered their innocent lives. They could not reconcile that a planned conspiracy to kill their beloved Guru was executed so easily. A written complaint was given to the police.

His personal physician, Dr. Sri Nithya Pranananda recollects, “It was the most shocking incident in my life. I could not bear to see him gasping for breath, vomiting

and unable to even stand straight without support. He was in severe pain with his body poisoned and fighting for his life. The only thing I could think of was - why would anyone want to kill Swamiji? He is the person who has been healing people and giving life to people. I am devastated and pained even now when I recollect the battling hours we spent in trying to save His life…..”

“Why would Aarthi Rao want to kill Swamiji”

“Who would want to Kill Swamiji?” “Why would she want to kill?” “Did somebody use her?” “Why would somebody want to kill Swamiji” “What will somebody gain by killing Him?” These were some of the questions that kept His close disciples terrorised for a long time.

From this incident onwards, His personal security was intensified and strict measures were taken for the food safety. His direct contact with audiences became restricted.

25th December 2009 marks the dark day when the lethal conspiracy started, followed by ongoing murder attempts on the life of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, with 100 such life-attempts in the following years.

This same woman Arathi Rao, who tried to kill Him in 2009 came back in March 2010, this time with a much more sinister well-planned killer attack, functioning as a “key instrument” of Hindu extremist militant terrorist groups working to eliminate His Divine Holiness.

A Lawyer approaches claiming His Divine Holiness’ life was under threat

Double Agent - Lawyer Sridhar 17 February 2010, Coimbatore : His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda delivered a satsang (spiritual discourse) on Srimad Bhagavad Gita in Coimbatore. After the satsang He gave darshan (individual blessing to all), attending to their healing requests and life problems. A man named Sridhar came in the queue of devotees and silently handed a slip of paper to His Divine Holiness. The slip of paper reached His secretary, Sri Nithya Pranananda.

17 Feb 2010: Double agent Sridhar giving the slip of paper to His Divine Holiness

Sridhar gave a slip of paper to His Divine Holiness which read, “CBI (Central Bureau Investigation) Matter. Need to talk in private. Top Secret. 9841029900 Call me immediately“ It read: “CBI Matter Need to talk in private Top Secret. 9841029900 Call me immediately”

When Pranananda called Sridhar and asked who he was, he claimed to be a lawyer. Sridhar claimed that His Divine Holiness’ life was in risk and he needs to have a word with the administrators to explain in more detail.

20 February 2010: Sridhar urged Sri Nithya Pranananda over the phone to allow a meeting. He said he would reveal who was behind the life attempts on His Divine Holiness. Sri Nithya Pranananda agreed to meet him and Sridhar came to the Bengaluru Aadheenam (temple monastery complex) that night itself. Some disciples felt suspicious of Sridhar and recorded his visit to the aadheenam.

Sridhar showed fabricated obscene pictures of His Divine Holiness 21 February 2010 : Sri Nithya Pranananda was expecting Sridhar to be revealing more information about the poisoning attempted on His Divine Holiness the previous year, instead Sridhar showed some pictures to Sri Nithya Pranananda. Sridhar explained that those were fabricated images of Paramahamsa Nithyananda and a South Indian actress Ranjitha. Sri Nithya Pranananda was shocked beyond words. He was a simple monk, who had no idea about the criminal world. He didn’t know what to make out of the situation.

Sridhar explained that there were big people behind this conspiracy and more than he could reveal awaited them, “indeed the images are fabricated but there is no point in arguing. This is ‘just a trailer’, a ‘full movie’ was going to be released by ‘big people’, ‘powerful forces’ who were behind this, who would be using their influence and resources to destroy the public image of His Divine Holiness and His organisation.” At any moment, the video could be published across several media channels and go viral. He asked Sri Nithya Pranananda to come with important members of the organization to Chennai for “negotiations” on this “highly sensitive” topic.

Some Monks refuse to believe Sridhar When Sri Nithya Pranananda revealed this shocking news to other disciples, everybody was shocked. Some were not ready to believe that any of Sridhar’s claims were real. They considered Sridhar as a nobody and did not expect any media house to get involved in things like broadcasting fabricated videos.

Sridhar confirms: It was Aarthi Rao who poisoned in 2009 Sridhar had also revealed that there were implants amongst aadheenam residents and devotees. Sridhar demanded an amount of 5 lakh INR (~ $ 7000 USD) as a token “consultation fee” to start the “negotiations”.

Sridhar said, “25 December 2009 was just a warning, by now you should know what Aarthi and Lenin can do. Please do not delay, you should not risk His life when you know they are out to get Him.”

Matter was His life, they could not take any risk But Sridhar had caught the attention of everyone, as he had named “Aarthi Rao” as one of the conspirators behind this. About three months earlier, His Divine Holiness had been saved from a lethal poisoning attack, and all fingers were pointing to the same lady, “Aarthi Rao,” and here again Sridhar was taking her name. It sent chills down the spine of the naive disciples. The disciples just simply went along with Sridhar’s claims and went to Chennai. Sri Nithya Bhaktananda, Sri Nithya Sadananda and Sri Nithya Pranananda from the Bengaluru Aadheenam, visited Sridhar in Chennai as per his request for the ‘negotiations’.

“Pay one billion ($14 Million USD) or we will KILL Him”

The Naive monks fail to see the consequences In Chennai, on 23 February 2010, Sri Nithya Bhaktananda, Sri Nithya Sadananda, and Sri Nithya Pranananda met the advocate Sridhar. Sridhar declared that Aarthi and Lenin were demanding Rs. 100 crores INR ($14 Million USD). The Administrators were shell-shocked. They out-right refused. They told him they had not come to give any money; neither they had nor they would give anything. They kept insisting that they wanted Aarthi Rao and Lenin to be physical present there. Disciples demand original files Sridhar started getting annoyed. Sridhar told, “You need to co-operate. Give at least an initial amount and then they will come.” The administrators pressed their ground that they want to see Lenin and Aarthi. Further the administrators requested that they should come with the original raw footage and video project files, which Sridhar refused to accept.

What are “project files” In case of video editing through any app or any professional software, there are various small files which add up to give the final video. For example - raw camera footages, special effects, stock videos and images, audio files, computer instructions, etc. These files are called project files. They are combined by means of the video editing software into a final single video file. Example -

Project Files ( Raw Footage + Computer Codes )

(Left) A female actor. (Middle) A male actor. (Right) An app which mixes the two and several other raw footage to give the desired result.

Final Published File

Final published file in a single video that can be easily uploaded on youtube and other platforms. The evidence of how the video editing and manipulation is done, is completely erased. The fabricated obscene video that was used to blackmail, had several obvious edits which any naked eye could tell. For example the video was not continuous, it had several abrupt changes.

How would original project files help ?

If the disciples had a hold on the original “The girl with man face” - in this project files, it could be very easily explained example, the female actress’s face and revealed how the video editing was done has been replaced with that of the by the conspirators. male actor.

“If you do not pay - soon the whole world will be after His life” Sridhar came back for a second round of extortion. He said Lenin and Aarthi had relaxed their demand. They wanted a reduced amount of Rs. 600 million INR ( ~ $10 Million USD) and the two prime properties belonging to the Aadheenam – one in Hyderabad and one in Chennai. The disciples held their ground, that they wanted to see the original files, and they wanted to meet Lenin and Aarthi.

Sridhar exclaimed, “It is not about them (Lenin and Aarthi). It is not about the video. It is about His life. If You don’t understand, if you don’t cooperate, if you do not pay - soon the entire world will be after His life. Anytime they will release the (fabricated) video. After that nobody will want to help Him. Anybody can kill Him after that. Nobody will care.”

Aarthi Rao Threatens to press FAKE Rape charges 24 February 2010 : Sridhar met the Administrators again and threatened them that it was getting delayed and demanded Rs. 60 lakhs INR (~ $100,000 USD) to be paid immediately as a token advance. Sridhar also spelt the breakup of the token amount as Rs. 10 lakhs to Sridhar and Rs. 50 lakhs to Lenin, Aarthi Rao and their other aides. The Administrators insisted that Lenin and his group should be present.

Sridhar connected Lenin over the phone speaker for the Administrators to talk. Lenin in turn connected to Aarthi Rao. Aarthi Rao threatened the Administrators of Paramahamsa Nithyananda that if Rs. 60 lakhs INR (~ $100,000 USD) was not paid IMMEDIATELY as an advance, she would press fake rape charges against Paramahamsa Nithyananda and also false cases against all of them and send them to prison.

Further, Lenin Karuppan connected the phone line to Nakkheeran Gopal, owner of the erotic Tamil Tabloid magazine “Nakkheeran” and his chief editor, Kamraj.

Nakkheeran Gopal threatens to publish stories in his erotic magazine Nakkheeran Gopal threatened the disciples, “Pay Rs. 60 lakhs now. What is there, it is such a small amount for you. Afterall, so many rich devotees come from so many countries. That much your temple donation box alone will have. Kamraj is waiting to publish some hot erotic stories on this. Do you want to read them or will you pay now?”

Nakkheeran Gopal continued to threaten the Administrators that they are very well aware about his politically well-connected background and that if they do not abide by the extortion demands, he will completely destroy to the roots, Paramahamsa Nithyananda and his organisation.

Monks only insisted on physical presence of Lenin and Aarthi The administrators again insisted that Lenin and Aarthi Rao should be present for the talks. But Sridhar angrily threatens, “Things will not happen as per your wish. Beggar cannot be choosers. Right now you are beggars, do you understand? Beg them, they might relax the demand. But whatever it is, you have to agree, you have to pay. You guys are idiots. I will come back tomorrow, think about what I told.”

The Naive disciples continue to stay blind to real danger

The Administrators were trying to connect the dots. They were looking at the surface:

1) 3 months earlier, poisoning was attempted on His Divine Holiness by Aarthi Rao 2) A lawyer had approached, showing fabricated obscene images of His Divine Holiness 3) Aarthi Rao’s name was mentioned again, this time she along with Lenin. 4) Aarthi Rao is threatening she would press FAKE rape charges on his Divine Holiness. 5) Owner of an erotic Tamil Tabloid - Nakkheeran has also teamed up. 6) Nakkheeran was threatening to publish erotic stories, also demanding a huge sum. 7) Aarthi Rao was threatening to press fake charges on administrators 8) They were demanding high-worth properties donated recently which not many people knew about.

Still the disciples were trying to assess the growing magnitude of the Conspiracy. They could see that their agenda was not just extortion but extermination of Paramahamsa Nithyananda and His worldwide organisations.

The tall demands of the extortionists, spoke loud and clear of a conspiracy much bigger than what met the eye. Still the disciples were oblivious that they were facing a systematic attack by unknown elements. They were completely clueless. They did not realise that they had merely scratched the surface of a heinous conspiracy and much more lay in waiting.

“Will resort to other means if you do not agree” - says Sridhar On the evening of the 24th, at around 6pm, Sridhar once again came to the hotel room and threatened angrily, “You are playing with fire! Lenin and Aarthi Rao are angry.” The three disciples did not budge. Sridhar then told them, “Things are not going to happen by merely talking to you all. We have to resort to “other means” to make it happen. Only then you will understand.” Saying so, he left angrily.

Lenin finally came but to beat up the monks...

Giant men with iron rods beat the monks Sri Nithya Pranananda recollects,

“At around 9 pm the same day, Ayya (Sri Nithya Sadananda) was resting because of his knee pain. Ayya was the most senior amongst us. Before joining the aadheenam he was suffering with ‘liver cirrhosis’ which got completely healed by Swamiji. I felt, what was happening was too much for him to handle.

While we were in the room, suddenly, we were surprised to see a large group of men with iron rods enter the room. They simply started beating us abruptly. Lenin and Kumar caught Ayya’s (Sri Nithya Sadananda) neck and hit his head on the wall. Rest of them started meeting me and Bhaktananda Swami.

They made it clear that it was just a warning and if we did not oblige to their demands, next time it will be ‘Swamiji’s life’. (Paramahamsa Nithyananda).

I was terribly shocked by the attack. I did not know what hatred they had towards any of us. What had Ayya done? He was an old monk, who had several health issues, who got a second life from Swamiji and was just serving the world in gratitude. They

could have spared Ayya at-least. What had any of us done to them. I am just a simple monk, I don’t know how these thugs and mafia and criminal people operate. I just know, “Lokāḥ Samastāḥ Sukhino Bhavantu - Let the entire world be happy.”

Lenin told me, that if anything happened to Swamiji, I should be blamed. He claimed that it was because of me that the extortion money has still not reached him (Lenin). He told me, ‘We will finish off (Paramahamsa) Nithyananda and pin it on you..’

I didn’t know what to do. Lenin then instructed the thugs to ransack the place. They stole the money we had brought for our expenses so as to torture us further. We were hardly left with any money to even return to aadheenam. I really don’t know what I should have done. It was too painful to know because of my stupidity and stubbornness, Swamiji’s life could be in danger.”

The naive monks collect money from devotees 25 February 2010 : After the physical assault, life-threat and grabbing of money the previous day by Lenin and his aides, Pranananda was forced to arrange the extortion money to reach him in Chennai.

“Pay now, before it is too late,” warns Sridhar 26 February 2010 : Sridhar furiousouly threatened Pranananda that he was delaying things and that if he delays further, all of them will be destroyed.

The double agent - Sridhar - grabs his cut and escapes 27 Feb 2010 : Pranananda and the administrators of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, handed over a partial amount collected from devotees (25 lakhs) to the extortionist Sridhar as a partial fulfilment of the demanded amount. They told Sridhar that they could gather only that much money under the circumstances and told him to hand over the morphed images to them in its original created medium. Sridhar then promised Pranananda that he will talk to Lenin and his aides and close the matter smoothly. Soon after, Sridhar vanished.

The fabricated obscene video is released by the conspirators 02 March 2010 : At around 7 pm on 2 March 2010, the blackmailers and extortionists group released the very same fabricated obscene video, through Sun Television Network. Within no time, the footage went viral on visual and print media and on the internet. The ruthless attack continued to the next level. 21

Why was the fabricated video released on 3rd March?

(Left) Late Karunanidhi Muthuvel (5 times Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, founder of Political party - DMK - Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) (Middle) Kalanithi Maran (grandnephew of Karunanidhi, billionaire media baron, chairman founder of the Sun Network) (Right) Dayanidhi Maran (grandnephew of Karunanidhi, former Union Telecom Minister of India) and brother of Kalanidhi Maran.

Kalaignar - “The ‘great’ Tamil artist-writer” Karunanidhi (Jun 1924 - Aug 2018) was one of the founders of the political party DMK - Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, and it’s longest serving leader. DMK is a leading atheistic anti-Hindu political party of Tamil Nadu - founded in 1949.

By their very atheistic ideology, DMK has been against religious beliefs and practices and against Hindu temples and Gurus. DMK when in power, brought many temples under the government, destroying and looting the wealths of thousands of temples. He was the tool to start the attack by the extremist militant forces on His Divine Holiness.

Karunanidhi, the founder-leader of DMK, started his career as a scriptwriter. Several movies were made based on novels and scripts written by him from 1947 to 2011. He was extremely popular for his command over the Tamil language. Karunanidhi considered himself - Kalaignar - a great artist a great writer. He believed, it was his fluency of the Tamil language, that had made him Chief Minister of the State of Tamil Nadu five times - for almost two decades over five terms between 1969 and 2011.

2009 - last days of his ‘greatness’? In 2009, Karunanidhi (85-year-old at that time) had called for an all-party meeting. Even after monetary compensation it saw an attendance of only 24,000 party workers. In the same year, about two months later, His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda (who was 32 years old then) conducted a series of satsangs on the sacred text of Bhagavad

Gita in the very same hall where Karunanidhi had called his all party meeting. The attendance for the satsang was more than 50,000. People heard four hour long discourses unmoving from their chairs and even waited 24 hours for personal darshan of His Divine Holiness. Was it too much for Karunanidhi to handle?

His Divine Holiness accomplished in 5 years what took karunanidhi 50 years to accomplish Karunanidhi had worked for almost half-a-century to gather the influence he had over the society and build his power structure. His Divine Holiness, was extremely young (merely 32) compared to the aged Karunanidhi (85 at that time). He had gathered a huge following very quickly, including party workers and family-friends of Karunanidhi. While His Divine Holiness had started the Bengaluru Aadheenam in 2003 and in five years by 2008 had spread across 33 countries, and had disciples and devotees from all spectrum of the society - right from movie star to Presidents of different countries to simple countryside peasants.

But why 3rd March? On 3 March 2009, His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda released the Tamil version of his groundbreaking successful book - Jeevan Mukti. The book was released across 123 cities worldwide and sold a record 2,50,000 copies on day 1. Karunanidhi had written several books, novels, and movie scripts in Tamil. The Jeevan Mukti Tamil book - had witnessed a massive positive reception across many countries, a kind of reception which was far ahead of what any of Karunanidhi works had gathered.

Could he be used by somebody else? Could someone else have exploited the feeling of being insulted, jealousy and hatred of a veteran politician - Karunanidhi? Could someone amalgamate jealousy into a huge systematic persecution on His Divine Holiness and His community?

Sridhar told disciple Atmaprabhananda to meet Sun Network Ayyappan On 2nd March, Sri Nithya Atmaprabhananda, one of the Administrators contacted advocate Sridhar. Sridhar had assured to stop the airing of the morphed images after having received a portion of the demanded money. Sridhar called Sri Nithya Atmaprabhananda to meet him in Chennai to “sort out some issues”. Atmaprabhananda met advocate Sridhar. Sridhar put him on to Ayyappan. This is the first time, Atmaprabhananda had met Sridhar and Ayyappan.

(Left) Sun Network Ayyappan (died 2012), trusted aid of Hansraj Saxena (former Chief Operations Officer (COO) of Sun Network). (Right) Hansraj Saxena (former COO of Sun Network) Saxena, trusted aid and college time friend of Kalanithi Maran (Owner of Sun Television Network) while in Police custody.

Who was Ayyappan? Sun Television Ayyappan was the right-hand man of Hansraj Saxena. Hansraj Saxena was the college friend and trusted aid of Kalanidhi Maran, billionaire media baron, owner of Sun Network, grand nephew of the then Chief Minister Karunanidhi. Hansraj Saxena was the COO of Sun Network.

Was the Chief Minister of the State of Tamil Nadu involved? Kalanidhi Maran is the grandnephew of Karunanidhi, the five-time Chief Minister of the State of Tamil Nadu. Karunanidhi was one of founders of the political party DMK - Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, and it’s longest serving leader. DMK is a leading atheistic anti-Hindu political party of Tamil Nadu. Kalanidhi Maran’s brother, Dayanidhi Maran, was a cabinet minister in the central government, as the Union Telecom Minister from his great uncle's political party - DMK.

Why were powers who were behind a Rs. 1,76,000,00,00,000 (~$26 Billion USD) scam, airing the fabricated obscene video of His Divine Holiness? As the Union Telecom Minister, Dayanidhi Maran, has his named involved into several scams such as - 2G Spectrum Scam - Comptroller and Auditor General (The federal auditor of India) reported that the difference between the money collected in 2G spectrum auction and that mandated to be collected was Rs. 1.76 trillion (US$26 billion), based on 2010 24

3G and BWA spectrum-auction prices. As the Union Minister of Telecom and Communication, Dayanidhi Maran had overridden Telecom Regulatory Authority of India and made some changes in the auctioning process.

Telephone Scam - Dayanidhi Maran was accused of having installed a private telephone exchange with 764 telephone lines at his residence to facilitate illegal uplink of Sun Network data, causing a loss of Rs 1.78 crore in revenue to state-run telecom majors BSNL and MTNL. A larger loss is estimated for the actual infrastructural investment.

A dangerous track record

May 9, 2007 - In broad daylight, in front of policemen, an “anonymous mob”, burns alive 3 people to death In 2007, Dinakaran, a newspaper owned by the Sun group, published the results of what it said was a statewide survey projecting their Chief Minister granduncle - Karunanidhi's younger son, Stalin, as the likely heir to Karunanidhi, with 70 per cent of the respondents supporting him, while older son Alagiri got 2 per cent. Enraged Alagiri supporters vandalised the Dinakaran offices.

Consequences - 3 people were BURNED ALIVE !

- Dinakaran’s (a daily newspaper of the Sun Group) Madurai office was TORCHED and and THREE EMPLOYEES DIED in the blaze. - 2 engineers and 1 security guard died. - From May 9, 2007 upto 13 June 2014, the enquiry dragged with no justice to mother of the murdered who cried from one court of law to another. No punishment was accorded to the murderous mob which had set the buildings on fire!

Did the Chief Minister’s grandnephew Kalanidhi Maran send his men to extort Rs. 60 crore (~ $10 Million USD) from His Divine Holiness?

Sun Television Ayyappan starts ‘round 2’ of extortion Atmaprabhananda met Ayyappan and broached the subject of the morphed video to him. Ayyappan demanded, “Where is the Rs. 60 crores ($10 Million USD)?”

Who is Atmaprabhananda?

Sri Nithya Atmaprabhananda, was from a very simple middle class family. He was far away from any political matters, leave alone any involvement in them. An engineer from BITS Pilani, a leading autonomous college in North India, he was well settled with a stable job, a traditional orthodox family, and had a son. He worked in india and abroad, sending money back home to India - a typical Indian middle class American dream. Before joining the Aadheenam, all he knew was home to office, office to traffic, traffic to home. That was life. Just like many others, he merely glimpsed His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, and felt a strong calling from deep within his being. He saw a possibility to dedicate his life to others! What was the use of working for large multinational corporations, for whom he anyway was easily dispensable and with whom he was a second class citizen at the end of the day? Why not work for a higher purpose? He simply decided to follow Paramahamsa Nithyananda and join His mission of reviving Sanatana Hindu Dharma.

Atmaprabhananda has no answer for Ayyappan’s demand Sri Nithya Atmaprabhananda was sweating, he mumbled and stammered. He was not able to say anything. He had just found out, the fabricated video had been released and the aadheenam had been set on fire by a mob of more than a thousand. He just knew, His Divine Holiness’ life was in danger. He had to save Him, He had to save his Guru. He was afraid of risking his guru’s life, by his own stupidity. He was in an internal conflict, a decision deadlock - how to get the money, from where to get the money.

“Not only will the telecast of the morphed video stop, His life will also be spared” - said Ayyappan Ayyappan continued, “Still you don’t understand whom you are against? Understand one thing - not only would the telecast of the morphed video be stopped, but His life will also be spared. Do you get it?”

Baffled and confused, Atmaprabhananda simply nodded.

“Nobody will help you. Police instead of helping, will be putting you all behind bars,” said Ayyappan Ayyappan continued, “That woman, Aarthi, is under our control. Already, thousands have started attacking your ashrams, burning it down. If your guru remains alive, Aarthi will slap FAKE rape cases against Him. Which police will you call for help? The same police will be putting you behind bars for all the false complaints we will file against all of you! Do you want to try? Come to the police station with me. Every police officer salutes me. They know whose man I am. Understand, consider this a friendly warning - consequences will be disastrous. Are you getting it?”

Atmaprabhananda requested for some time to arrange for the money but Ayyappan illegally detained him in his office. Atmaprabhananda begged, “Ayya (Sir), I am requesting you for some time to arrange for the money. Let me go, as I am unable to arrange for money from here.”

Ayyappan said, “Keep quiet, you are not going anywhere. I am not leaving you.” Ayyappan refusing to let him go till an amount is given, Atmaprabhananda spent the entire night in Ayyappan’s custody. It was not an ordinary night, it was a nightmare.

The aadheenam was burning, Atmaprabhananda was begging for his life The Sun Network Media Mafia had come with a huge Hindu Extremist militant mob to attack all the aadheenams belonging to His Divine Holiness. As per the local police report to the State, nearly 2000 to 2500 people attacked the Bengaluru aadheenam alone.

4 March 2010: Sri Nithya Atmaprabhananda had spent the whole night in detention by Sun Network Ayyappan. He continued begging Ayyappan to release him so that he could muster some money to hand over. Ayyappan, after long deliberation, seized Atmaprabhananda’s mobile phone and released him with the strong threat that he

would be tracked completely for every movement of his, and he will not be able to leave Chennai without handing over the demanded money.

In broad daylight Ayyappan attacks - Atmaprabhananda falls unconscious 5th March 2010 : After being released by Sun Network Ayyappan, Sri Nithya Atmaprabhananda was travelling in Chennai near the Pondy Bazar police station in T. Nagar. All of a sudden, from nowhere, Ayyappan’s vehicle overtook him and pulled up in front of his car and stopped him. Atmaprabha’s blood turned cold. Inside him questions were crowding: How did he track me so closely? He is really serious about the threat then….

What followed was a life-attack coupled with blackmail and extortion by Ayyappan on Atmaprabhananda right in front of the police station in T.Nagar in chennai! It was a familiar police station for Ayyappan; the police simply stood by him.

Ayyappan and his men forcibly pulled Atmaprabhananda out of his car and pushed him into Ayyappan’s vehicle, inflicting a head injury on him. With the blow on his head, Atmaprabhananda fainted. Regaining consciousness, Atmaprabhananda faced a violent Ayyappan who was demanding the money that he had asked for two days earlier to stop the Sun Network telecast of the fake video. He called the local police who were his aides and threatened Atmaprabhananda that if he doesn’t give the demanded money he will slap a false case on him and imprison him immediately. The police simply saluted him, showing obedience to his words.

Atmaprabhananda paid up a part amount of the demand by arranging money through a devotee and got released by the Sun Network blackmailer Ayyappan. While Atmaprabhananda was facing a life and death situation at hands of Sun Network Ayyappan, in parallel Bengaluru Aadheenam was burning.

“They want to kill Him!” - A series of lethal mob lynching Attempts on His Divine Holiness

What is Mob lynching - Silent Planned Assassination?

Silent Planned Assassinations - “carrying out assassinations using silent means (like ‘anonymous’ mob) so that no one may be blamed and it may be conveniently dismissed as an accident, natural occurrence or suicide.”

Lynching - “a premeditated extrajudicial killing by a group, informal public executions by a mob in order to punish an alleged transgressor, or to intimidate a group.” Mob lynching is a method employed for silent planned assassination such that nobody can be blamed or punished, to minimize social or legal backlash and responsibility.

How often Mob lynching gets punished ● 2007 - Dinakaran Mob lynching - 3 people killed by burning alive Conviction - None 2018 - 11 years Trials still under progress

● 2002 - Gujarat Riots - 1,044 killed, 223 missing Conviction - 249 convictions -184 Extremist Hindus, 65 non-Hindus. Several trials completed, several challenged in Higher courts.

● 1990 - Ethnic cleansing of minority Kashmiri Shaivites - 550 killed in a single year and 1,00,000 families flee the valley. Kashmiri Shavites are ancient religious ethnic minorities known to have lived in the valley for more than 10,000 years continuously. Conviction - None, No Trials ever conducted.

● 1984 - Mob lynching of ethnic minority Sikh community - 2,800 killed Conviction - None, 34 years trials still in progress.

● 1971 - Bangladesh Hindu Genocide - 3 million killed, 300,000 raped Conviction - None, No Trials ever conducted.

Who will save targets of Mob lynching? July 17, 2018 : The apex court of India, expressed its displeasure in growing number of crimes against humanity. A Supreme Court bench, termed incidents of mob lynching in India as 'horrendous acts of mobocracy.' Further the bench, directed the Parliament of India, to draft a new legislation (law) to effectively deal with incidents of mob lynching. It also told the Centre and State governments to take preventive measures.

Mob lynching is damaging the reputation of the country 29 August 2018. - The Central Tourism Minister of the country gave an interview saying mob lynching was harming the reputation of the country.

A newspaper clip from the online version of “The Economic Times”, dated 29 August 2018. The central (federal) Tourism Minister explains how it is hurting the image of the country and what is the stand the government is taking.

The Federal Central Government washes its hands, claims it is an individual State Government Responsibility The Central Tourism Minister, K.J. Alphons said, “And, the Prime Minister has called them (mobs of assassins) criminals. And he told the states: you have to take action because law and order is a state subject,” while interacting with journalists on 29 August 2018.

A Case Study of mob lynching by Hindu Extremist Forces

1991 : Hindu Extremist Militants kill 18 humans of minority community On 12 December 1991, Hindu Extremists Militant organisations called for a bandh (curfew) on 13 December alleging partisan behaviour of the Government of India.

The next day, Hindu Extremist Militants roamed the streets of Bangalore carrying sticks, shouting slogans, beating up laborers of ethnic minority communities. Businesses, movie theatres and even vehicles on minority communities were targeted. Soon the riots spread to the Mysore district and other parts of southern Karnataka. Ethnic minority communities were driven out and their property confiscated. A curfew of one week was declared under section 144. The arson and killing had a deep psychological effect in the minds of the victims that over two lakh individuals of various ethnic minority communities moved out of the state within a month. 18 humans were killed in the violence, all of dark skinned ethnic minority communities. The justification of the murder was (1) water crisis in the state, (2) the dark skinned ethnic minority community did not speak the regional language.

1991 Riots - mob lynching - loss of Rs. 170 million to public property The Indian Peoples' Human Rights Tribunal puts the total property losses suffered in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka at Rs. 170 million while the Venkatesh Commission has given estimates varying from Rs. 30 million to Rs. 155 million.

2016 : Hindu Extremist Media-mafia justify instigating violence

15 Sept 2016 : Sugata Raji, editorial directory of the Asianet group (owned by Bharatiya Janata Party leader, Rajeev Chandrasekhar) claimed to be embarrassed as TV channels became provocateurs of violence instead of disseminating information. However at the same time, Media-Mafia owned by Hindu Extremist forces claimed innocence, saying that they were not entirely to be blamed. Extremist-Hindu-Media claimed Atheist-Media-Mafia started to instigate mob violence, so Extremist-Hindu-Media was justified in doing the same.

2018 : 3 decades - no justice to families of the murdered Even 27 years later, no justice was delivered to the victims. Mobocracy took over democracy, with silent assassinations.

2018 : 3 decades - no solution to water crisis problem of the state which was used to justify violence The issue at hand was of water crisis. The violence did not solve the water issue.

Assassins silently occupy land and property of the ones they killed The violence only aided the individual extremists to capture the land and property of the ones they killed or displaced.

Beginning of Mob lynching attacks on His Divine Holiness Watch the Video: https://youtu.be/4ALcAF6MJM0

From 2nd March onwards, assassins of Sun Television Mafia along with Hindu Extremist militants hounded His Divine Holiness for His life. They had a tight tracking of His whereabouts through a network of implants placed in the aadheenam. No one knew anything other than the fact, “They want to Kill Him.”

From place to place across Karnataka and Tamilnadu, He was chased. Several attacks on His life were launched. Wherever He went, in His own monasteries, everywhere, He was attacked and His monasteries were burned, to send a clear message - “We are behind to get you anywhere.”

The disciples of Paramahamsa Nithyananda had a harrowing experience saving their beloved Guru’s life from the killing hands of the assassins.

2nd March 2010 - Tiruvannamalai Aadheenam - A narrow escape The first attack was in Tiruvannamalai on the night of 2nd March, when the assassins caught wind that His Divine Holiness was in the Tiruvannamalai Aadheenam.

(Left)Nithyananda Peetham, Tiruvannamalai Aadheenam, Tamil Nadu, South India, in 2010. (Right) Tiruvannamalai Aadheenam now. Those days the innocent monastic community did not even see any need to build a boundary wall to protect itself from attacks.

The Sanyasis at the Aadheenam That night, the Sanyasis were just preparing for the everyday anna daan (free food service) for the sadhus (wandering ascetics) and the local people of Tiruvannamalai. Free food is served three times a day at the Tiruvannamalai Aadheenam for the wandering ascetics and local people.

There was a group of Sanyasis attending to these services near the gate, while another group was with His Divine Holiness in the quarters in the rear of the campus.

The group received information about the fake video release and the subsequent planned attacks as told in the Sun Television channel. It was a high alert for them. They had to move very quickly. Quick decisions were made. The Sanyasis in front continued with their responsibilities. The ones with His Divine Holiness sprung into action, ready to hit the road to keep His Divine Holiness in safety, which was their prime concern before anything else.

Sri Nithya Sharanagathananda, the Sanyasi who was in the Tiruvannamalai Aadheenam taking care, recounts the horrifying attack thus:

Sun Network orders “Massacre” On the night of 2nd March 2010 at about 8.30 pm, at first, I heard the news that there was something being shown on television about Swamiji. I did not pay much attention to it. At that time I did not know that they were after His life and that they were giving instructions on the Sun Television channel to destroy Him.

Assassins come to KILL Him By 9 pm, a mob gathered and the police came into the Aadheenam. But in spite of the police being there, the mob started attacking me and damaging the place. They asked me where Swamiji was. I told them that He is not in the campus and that I had no idea where He was currently. But they would not believe me. They went all over the place and broke the entire Aadheenam and beat the residents like beasts on hunt. I was horrified and could not understand what they were doing inside our home and that too violently breaking our property and beating our innocent Sanyasis (monks). I had no idea, I was thinking, “Who are you? Who am I to you that you attacking me? I have not done anything wrong to you!”

Brutal attack on Sanyasis and vandalism of the Tiruvannamalai Aadheenam. (Lower left picture) Sharanagathananda is being pushed by the assassins during the life-attack

“Today we are going to finish Him off!” They shouted at me, “Where is Nithyananda!”, “Today we are going to finish Him off!” I could not understand who these people were and who had sent them here. Who was wanting to kill Swamiji? Who would hate Swamiji? Why would someone want to kill Him. Swamiji is doing such tremendous service to humanity. Why would anyone have any hatred towards Him? On one side, all these questions were racing in my mind...but I had to handle these assassins who had landed out of the blue on my head when I was serving the everyday organic food to the mendicants. Far from a weapon to defend myself, the only thing I had was a long ladle and a bucket of tamarind rice in my hand. I did not know how to defend myself.

Attention of assassins diverted - His vehicle quietly exits They continued attacking me like anything. Meanwhile, I suddenly saw, a vehicle emerging from the rear of the aadheenam towards the main gate. The moment I saw the vehicle emerging from inside, I knew that Swamiji was in it. I immediately led (diverted) the assassins to one extreme side of the broad area, so that the car could go past freely. I held my mala (rosary) and prayed for the vehicle to exit safely.

They safely flee out with Him - He is safe for now I saw always, it is not the public who are the danger. It is a few extremist elements who are the danger. The crowd was yet to gain momentum. My fellow Sanyasis later told me that they had decided to take Swamiji out of the campus immediately in a small old vehicle, leaving behind His usual official vehicle. As per their plan, they had kept Him in the back seat in the middle of two Sanyasis, and a third Sanyasi sat in the front passenger seat, and they drove to the entrance of the Aadheenam at a medium pace. Praying to Swamiji to help them save His own life, they drove with a straight face and exited safely through the main entrance, escaping from the vicious eyes of the chief attackers who were busy vandalising the place and attacking me and a few of us at the gate to one extreme side of the campus.

The Assassins realize they had missed Him Within twenty minutes, the assassins realised that they had missed Swamiji, and He had left. They became very angry and beat & broke everything and attacked me head-on. It all happened too fast.

They strangle me with my own kaavi (sacred ochre cloth)

The assassins were screaming abusive swear words at Swamiji and us, and started pushing me and strangling me with my own ochre cloth. I was helpless and defenceless against a whole pack of beasty men who had come well prepared for a ‘kill’. I felt I was facing my death, my body perspired, gasping for breath! I chanted the Guru Mantra and was about to faint, when soon I heard some people coming in.

The State Police arrive after everyone has left The police arrived at the spot after some time. By then, the attackers were done with their destruction to life and property and left. The police merely dispersed the crowd, they didn’t care to even lift me and people around me. I went to the local police station and filed a complaint, accounting the attack. I asked for police protection also.

03 March 2010 - A brief encounter with the Assassins near Salem Aadheenam The Sanyasis arrive safely in Salem Aadheenam with His Divine Holiness 3 March 2010 : They were hounding Him to KILL Him. The Sanyasis who left the Tiruvannamalai Aadheenam with His Divine Holiness in a small inconspicuous vehicle, headed straight to the Salem Aadheenam (temple-monastery complex in Salem), three and a half hours away. Throughout the journey, their prayers were that no one should catch wind of them or follow them. They reached Salem safely at around 11 pm.

Upon reaching Salem, they emptied the vehicle of the belongings, but kept them in a state of readiness, so they could move again without loss of time if needed. Their immediate concerns were two-fold: One, the life of His Divine Holiness, and second, He had not eaten anything in the last 10 hours. Not that there was no food in the Tiruvannamalai Aadheenam but they could not pack any of it in the hurry in which they left the place.

The Sanyasis told the Salem aadheenavasis (residents) to prepare food for His Divine Holiness. They prepared food and it was served to Him. The Sanyasis felt one part of the heaviness lifting off after being able to feed Him. They were constantly in touch with co-Sanyasis in Bidadi (Bengaluru) and other places, getting information about what was happening in each place. It was late into the night, almost 12 o'clock midnight. They took turns in keeping awake. It was important for them to rest too, as they did not know where they might have to move next in the wake of the outbreak.

Enriching everyday socio-spiritual services at the Salem Aadheenam

They decided to relocate again for the safety of His Divine Holiness

His Divine Holiness rested for barely a few hours. At around 5 am, the Sanyasis decided that it was not good to be in the same location for one full night and 39

day, and that it is better to move. While they were discussing, He expressed that He wanted to go to the Bengaluru Aadheenam, the spiritual headquarters. The Sanyasis were dismayed.

How to enter the Bengaluru Aadheenam amidst the heat of what was happening? They could not even dream of it. But they knew one thing: if He wanted it, theirs was to make it happen, because only He knew best. If there was any attack, it was up to them to encounter it and keep Him safe at the same time. They decided it was best to start as early as possible to avoid too much attention on the road. Bengaluru Aadheenam was four hours away.

The Sanyasis hit the road again with His Divine Holiness On the 3rd of March at around 6 am, the Sanyasis prepared to leave the Salem Aadheenam, this time in a different vehicle belonging to one of the devotees to protect the identity. They felt it is better to avoid using the same vehicle as that of the previous night. Aadheenavasis were informed to prepare food for carrying.

They quickly loaded the vehicle, brought down His Divine Holiness to the vehicle as well. They left the Salem campus, watched by a group of aadheenavasis and devotees whose hearts did not know whether to rejoice at the unexpected darshan (appearance) of their beloved Guru, or to cry at having the darshan amidst such horrifying circumstances.

The Sanyasis left the Salem Aadheenam and hit the narrow road leading to the highway where two vehicles could just about cross each other.

Mercenary Mob on the very same road Just a few hundred meters on the road, they saw a furious mob coming in their direction, towards the Aadheenam. They were wielding weapons, carrying petrol bombs, guns, iron rods and raising slogans against the name of His Divine Holiness.

The car was a nondescript vehicle and they kept His Divine Holiness well covered in the back seat. They once again started fervently chanting their prayers and moved closer to the mob and vehicles that were approaching.

Once they were a few meters away, the Sanyasi driving the vehicle increased the speed of the vehicle, getting a good control of the road space and started moving past the approaching assassins as fast as he could.

“It’s Him! Kill Him!” The group of assassins barely got a look inside the vehicle as it was moving. The vehicle passed by them and gained more speed. But as they were in the tail end of the passing mercenary mob, one in the mob screamed in Tamil, “It’s Him! It’s Him” (referring to His Divine Holiness in disrespectful singular), and they started attacking the vehicle, just as the vehicle accelerated. The mob got left behind. The ones with vehicles in the mercenary mob, could not turn the vehicles around to chase them because the road was too narrow to make a U-turn.

With their hearts in their mouth they drove ahead With their hearts in their mouth, the Sanyasis drove in dead silence, till they were convinced that they had moved to real safety away from the assassins. They drove straight towards the Bengaluru Aadheenam.

The furious assassins attack the Salem Aadheenam The assassins were infuriated that they missed their target with such a narrow gap. With all their fury they reached the gates of the Salem Aadheenam with weapons, ready to enter the temple-monastery complex. In a wild rage, they entered the Aadheenam, and headed to the buildings where the residents were doing the morning puja (ritualistic worship).

This created immediate chaos and panic in the puja hall, where people started screaming, running around, gathering their children and looking where the sound came from, not knowing what was going on. No one was in any way prepared for an attack.

The assassins forced the residents to leave the Aadheenam, man-handled the female Sanyasis and dragged them to the streets, beat them and stripped them of their dignity with onlookers watching or escaping the scene.

Effigies burnt publicly

In various places in the town of Salem out on the streets, effigies of His Divine Holiness were stamped on and burned in a clear message that they wanted His Divine Holiness dead.

How Extremist Hindu Militants and Media-Mafia justified genocide for 3 decades by blaming it on Sun Network The justification of mob lynching and attacks on minorities given by the media mafia since past three decades - (1) shortage of water in the State (2) the ethnic minorities did not speak the primary language of the State.

● 1991 : Hindu Extremist Militants kill 18 humans of minority community ● 2016 : Hindu Extremists Media-mafia justify instigating violence ● 2018 : 3 decades no justice to families of the murdered ● 2018 : 3 decades no solution to water crisis problem of the state which was used to justify violence. ● Assassins silently occupy land and property of the ones they killed.

In 2016 : As per their own admission, to a national news and media website (firstpost.com), the editors and journalists of the media-mafia claimed guilt,

openly acknowledging their role in inciting mob violence. They justified their acts, blaming Tamil channels (like Sun Network) to have started it.

12 Sept 2016 - Extremist Hindu Militants vandalise vehicles(Source: ANI/Twitter)

Assassins try to Burn Him Alive in Bengaluru Aadheenam A safe entry into Bengaluru Aadheenam, spiritual headquarters 3 March 2010: His Divine Holiness along with the group of sanyasis reached Bengaluru Aadheenam from Salem on the morning of 3rd March. The Sanyasis entered the aadheenam through the less used side gate which has closer proximity to the highway.

They arrived and settled His Divine Holiness inside the quarters that was linked to the side exit. They then assisted Him in freshening up. He did not want to eat anything. They saved His meal that was packed in Salem and they themselves quickly ate the food that they had brought from there. The horrifying attack begins At around 11:30 am, news started pouring in through multiple phone calls on various mobile phones, that the Bengaluru Aadheenam was being attacked in full force from several directions. The Sanyasis heard of blazing fires, inhuman manhandling, aadheenavasis running helter skelter and more.

News came from the main security gate that a bunch of assassins had gathered there, shouting slogans asking for His Divine Holiness to come out. They were demanding to see Him. They broke the compound wall and smashed the security cabins and other structures at the entrance.

The security and handful of sanyasis at the main gate were totally outnumbered as the assassins started jumping over the gate and side walls into the aadheenam premises. They rushed everywhere armed with petrol bombs and acid. They carried weapons like chains, iron rods and other explosives.

Sanyasis’ living quarters burnt down

Sannyasis’ (monks) living quarters set on fire.

The assassins lit fire to the dry palm leaves which formed the roof of the living quarters for the sanyasis. The fire spread rapidly and within minutes burned down the mattresses, charing it to soot. The residents ran out of the building to diffuse the fires by throwing buckets of water on them hoping to save some of the belongings. When they realised it was futile, they ran from one building to the next in order to secure themselves from the assassins. All the female residents were instructed to lock themselves up in one of the innermost rooms. Direct attack on the quarters of His Divine Holiness The assassins with fireballs and explosives, attacked the very building where His Divine Holiness was staying with His assistants. In a terrifying series of events, the attackers locked all the doors to the structure from outside, and threw petrol bombs on it. They ignited the thatch roof with the clear plan to kill His Divine Holiness.

By then, the panic-stricken Sanyasis, after hearing the updates about the approaching assassins, gathered a few essentials and along with His Divine Holiness was about to leave the quarters to take Him to the vehicle that was waiting near the rear restroom exit.

Just as they were moving to the vehicle, the roof was set ablaze. They could not believe what was happening. Without getting diverted by the blazing fire, they literally pushed His Divine Holiness into the vehicle, jumped in themselves and sped away. Running for survival - on the road again They hit the highway within minutes without the assassins sighting their departure. Panic was rushing through their veins as they sped off on the Mysore - Bengaluru highway. Only when the disciples confirmed they were not being chased did they slow down a bit.

Now the question on everyone’s mind was: where to find a safe haven. A unanimous and quick decision was made to go to the relatively small aadheenam in Hosur, tucked away surrounded by agricultural fields, merely an hour and a half away. They sped off towards Hosur aadheenam in Tamilnadu.

One of the senior Sanyasis (monks) - Ma Nithyapriyananda Swami - who was present inside the Bengaluru Aadheenam during the attack, recollects the horrific events of the morning:

The next day morning (March 3rd, 2010), there was a pandemonium at the gate. We barely had a compound wall. The media came like vultures. Assassins entered from all over.

The Bengaluru Aadheenam was under attack from all around. We were being covered in the news continuously, not as victims but as accused! Accused of what? Of featuring in a fabricated video created by someone else! It was utter injustice and persecution of a completely clueless and innocent community. There was fire blazing, media persons running rampant, tussles between the Sanyasis and the assassins in the utterly vulnerable situation, police, mobsters and what not... They had successfully converted a peaceful and serving Aadheenam to a warfield of terror and confusion.

We were all huddled in the Ananda sabha with our belongings. We had to somehow walk over and enter Anandapuri where we would be relatively safer. But we could not leave the Ananda sabha because the assassins had entered the premises. Swamiji was in the aadheenam, and we did not have the courage to think about what might be happening to Him. We knew there was a team taking care of Him, and that was all we could handle at the time.

The nightmare news reached us – the attackers had set ablaze the thatched roof structure where Swamiji was staying. We just held our malas (rosaries with Swamiji’s pendant) tightly and continued to pray, not daring to think about what might be happening there. After some time, news reached us that Swamiji had exited the

campus safely. We heaved a mighty sigh of relief. Our life energy was restored. Shortly, we managed to run over and enter Anandapuri.

Assassins locked His Divine Holiness in his hut and set it ablaze.

Vandalism of property Catching wind of His safe exit, the assassinators went ahead and defaced Paramahamsa Nithyananda's posters with brutal force, using even their footwears to mutilate them, making their agenda clear: they wanted to eliminate Him from the face of the Planet. They inflicted extensive damage to property, stoning and burning the

Aadheenam premises. There was terror in the Aadheenam amidst the residents to protect the life of their beloved Guru who was also the lifeline of millions of seekers worldwide.

Mob vandalising properties in the aadheenam

His Divine Holiness arrives at the Hosur Aadheenam, Tamil Nadu 3 March 2010 : Much to the surprise of the Hosur devotees, the car carrying His Divine Holiness arrived in the afternoon at the quiet and secluded aadheenam in Hosur. The devotees were too terrorised to venture in any way towards the Sanyasis under the given circumstances. They waited for instructions and they watched in disbelief their beloved Guru in their own Aadheenam! They watched everything that followed, in dead silence. They didn’t know whether to offer to cook food or ask if any help was required. They concluded that the Sanyasis would ask for help if required.

The Sanyasis, after moving His Divine Holiness into His quarters and making Him comfortable, requested a couple of devotees to prepare food. They put their mobile phone to charge, sorted out a few of their belongings, and rested a bit. They knew they had to leave as soon as possible. They wanted to be able to give a few hours of rest to His Divine Holiness as well as to themselves and the devices they were carrying.

At around 8.30 pm, news reached them that a center run by a devotee was attacked in Hosur. But the devotees in the Hosur Aadheenam were very sure that there would be no attack in the Hosur Aadheenam which was secluded and not familiar to the people as yet. It was decided that they would spend the night there. They spent the night in Hosur, with the Sanyasis taking turns to keep awake and alert.

The next day morning, the Sanyasis decided to move to a new location even though they were not attacked in Hosur. They felt it was not safe to remain in one location for more than 24 hours. They decided to move to Eambalam Aadheenam in Pondicherry, where by then, the police had sent out everyone from the Aadheenam telling them that it was not safe to be there.

They got ready, assembled their things and had food. Then, they requested His Divine Holiness to have something to eat before they went on to the road again.

The temple monastery complex at Eambalam, Pondicherry (Puducherry)

4 March 2010, Eambalam Aadheenam, Pondicherry - 5th Life Attack on His Divine Holiness

Driving in from Hosur, the Sanyasis were hoping that the Eambalam aadheenam which was not yet open to the public, which was a very meagre place, would be secure for at least a short time. But this turned out to be untrue.

Not long after the fabricated video was circulated, on March 3rd, angry mobs came to the Eambalam Aadheenam and threw stones inside, used extremely abusive language. The police arrived and told the residents to close down the aadheenam and leave.

Mercenary Mob At the gates The Sanyasis drove in with His Divine Holiness at around 6 pm and locked the gates behind them. They barely settled in the thatched roof structure which was there at that time. At around 8.30 pm, a furious group of assassins tried to enter through the main gate, banged on the locked gate to open. Panic hits the Sanyasis They quickly sprung into action, gathered their items, loaded the vehicle, seated His Divine Holiness in the back seat amidst two Sanyasis and started the car engine. Meanwhile, they instructed the resident Sanyasi to open the main gates.

No Exit is a safe exit The Sanyasis waited for the main gates to opened, because if they exited through the side entrance before the attackers entered through the main gate, then the attackers would have seen the Sanyasis at the side entrance exit pathway that merged with the main entrance. So they waited, and once the main gates were opened and the attackers entered, the Sanyasis sped away through the side entrance. It was a risk they had to take to avoid being confronted by the attackers outside.

Attackers Chase the car The attackers saw the car speeding away and tried to run back outside to stop them, but the car carrying His Divine Holiness had sped away. They became furious that they has so easily been duped. They could not tolerate that they had missed so narrowly. They showed their entire fury in setting fire to the thatched-roof structure which His Divine Holiness had just left.

Vengeance of the assassin mob - everything is set on Fire Wreaked with vengeance, they tore the huge billboards carrying His portrait and burnt them. By defacing Him, they sent out the clear message that they were out to destroy Him wherever He might be.

The media frenzy was kept alive by telecasting the fabricated video nonstop for weeks. His Divine Holiness had to flee from South India to the North.

Why did they fabricate and air an obscene video?

They want to justify murder as an accident

“Repeat a lie often enough and it will be believed,” Joseph Geobells, Adolph Hitler’s Propaganda Minister

In ancient times, ethnic minority sub sects were persecuted and exterminated using brutal violence. No justification was required.

As humanity civilized globally, and as democratic systems evolved, the need to justify acts of violence was required to keep the society pacified.

In World War I, assassination of a Prince was used to trigger a huge war. Post World War I, a simple trigger was no more sufficient; a complex propaganda machinery was required to justify to the society. In World War II, race superiority was used as a justification for extermination of the Jewish Population.

In the following years, the whole methodology became highly sophisticated, allowing silent persecution of an entire population or an entire community or a leader to be carried out in such a way that literally there was no social, legal or humanitarian questioning or backlash.

What is a justification propaganda? Justification propaganda is a targeted propaganda to drive a certain ideology into the society which makes them lose any potential sympathy or empathy for the targeted person. This would act as justification of any atrocity, persecution and attack executed on the person, disguising it as the backlash of the public or an angry mob. The engineered madness covers up silent assassinations, pogroms, ethnic cleansing, cultural genocides, and other inhumane and criminal acts.

Crimes against Humanity Justified

Example 1 : 2007 - Dinakaran Mob lynching - 3 people killed by burning alive Justification given - a family feud between Maran brothers and their granduncle Former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Karunanidhi.

Example 2 : 2002 - Gujarat Riots by Hindu Extremists - 1,044 killed, 223 missing Justification given - Burning of a train in Godhra (which caused the deaths of 58 Hindu karsevak pilgrims) by an anonymous mob of 1000 people.

Example 3 : 1990 - Ethnic cleansing of minority Kashmiri Shaivites - 550 killed, 1,00,000 families flee the valley. Kashmiri Shavites are ancient religious ethnic minorities known to have lived in the valley for more than 10,000 years continuously. Justification given - a press release in a local newspaper saying, “Hindus and Sikhs cannot stay here.”

Example 4 : 1984 - Mob lynching of ethnic minority Sikh community - 2,800 killed Justification given - assassination of Prime Minister by her own Sikh bodyguard.

Example 5 : 1971 - Bangladesh Hindu Genocide - 3 million killed, 300,000 raped Justification given - Hindu minority Bengali community spoke a different language

Example 6 : 1930 - 1950 - Pogrom on Jews - 6 million jews died Justification given - Jews were considered an inferior race by the State. How did they justify the madness to Kill His Divine Holiness

On 2nd March 2010, a fabricated obscene video linking Him to a South Indian actress that was aired, was the justification of the madness to KILL His Divine Holiness by an anonymous mob. As it was seen in days to come, a more complex, sophisticated and diabolical justification was continuously executed and still being executed to date, to justify a decade-long persecution of His Divine Holiness and His community.

His Divine Holiness at the 2010 Kumbh Mela

In 2007, His Divine Holiness was declared the Mahamandaleshwar, of the Mahanirvani Akhada, making Him the official spiritual head of over one million sanyasis (Hindu monks). In 2007, Kumbh Mela, He had led the Shahi Snan (spiritual royal bath) of 10 million people. At the time of His coronation He was the youngest Mahamandaleshwar.

What is Kumbh Mela ● Kumbh mela is a more than 10,000 year old unbroken Hindu tradition. ● The "world's largest congregation of religious pilgrims". ● Here all 1,00,000 sects of Hinduism, which are literally an independent religion in themselves, meet and discuss the overall direction of Hinduism. ● The largest peaceful gathering in the world. ● More than 100 Million (10 crore) people visited in the last Maha Kumbh in Prayag in 2013. ● Inscribed on the UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. ● It is a massive Hindu pilgrimage of faith in which Hindus gather to bathe in a sacred or holy river, a ritual called as the - Shahi Snan. ● Happens once every 3 years. What are Akhadas Akhadas are responsible for hosting the Kumbh Melas as well as participating in them. They are biggest and most ancient monastic order in the world, having survived all wars, crimes on humanity and all religious persecutions. Akhadas are ancient and have a shastra (recorded history) of more than 10,000 years. Around 700 A.D. Adi Shankara, a great sage, incarnation of MahaSadashiva (Cosmic Soul and primordial Hindu Divinity), organized the main currents of thought in Hinduism as Akhadas that we know today. Akhadas are the oldest surviving democratic structures of world. Akhada naga-sadhus (naked-monks), renunciates of the highest stature, who live naked in snow capped Himalayan mountain caves in penance for decades and who are known to possess extraordinary yogic powers, interact with rest of humanity only during Kumbh mela.

# Akhada Subsidiary Akhada

2 Juna Akhada Avahan Akhada, attached to Juna Founded in 1146 CE Akhada

3 Mahanirvani Akhada Atal Akhada, attached to Mahanirvani Founded by Kapila Manu Akhada 10,000 years ago, reorganized in 700 A.D. by Adi Shankara

What is Mahanirvani Akhada Mahanirvani Akhada is the most ancient of all Akhadas. As per the Hindu scriptures, Sankhya Muni - Bhagavan Kapila, incarnation of MahaSadashiva, started the Mahanirvani Akhada 10,000 years ago. Bhagavan Sri Krishna, incarnation of Bhagavan Maha Vishnu, was a follower of Sankhya philosophy. Bhagavan Gautam Buddha (founder of Buddhism), incarnation of Bhagavan Maha Vishnu, was an initiated sanyasi (monk) of the Mahanirvani Akhada.

Who is a Mahamandaleshwar In the Akhada structure, the highest level of Hindu spiritual guardianship, is held by the Mahamandaleshwars and Acharya Mahamandaleshwars, the leaders who are democratically elected.

Spiritual Seat of Mahamandaleshwar is beyond worldly affairs The Office of Mahamandaleshwar is of spiritual guardianship. It is a highly revered spiritual responsibility. The purpose is to lead humanity to enlightenment, liberation, and spiritual upliftment. The Office is beyond social, political, economic or any other hard power structures. The election is democratic. There is no land, property, political power transfer associated with the office.

Mahamandaleshwar initiates millions into Sannyas The Acharya Mahamandaleshwar has extremely important spiritual responsibilities like initiating millions into sannyas (life of a Hindu monk). They are spiritual heads of the biggest and most ancient monastic order in the world. As a tradition, a Mahamandaleshwar cannot refuse sanyas to anyone who asks. In Hindu tradition, when a Guru initiates disciple into sanyas he absolves all his karmas (unfulfilled desires, unfulfilled actions and thought currents). Seekers throughout the world, seek highly revered saints who have demonstrated the enlightened state and space to initiate them into path of enlightenment and sanyas.

As a Mahamandaleshwar, it is His spiritual responsibility to grace the Kumbh Mela His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda is the Mahamandaleshwar of Mahanirvani Akhada (a more than 10,000 year old spiritual order) and it was His responsibility to be present at the Kumbh Mela as His highest priority. His Divine Holiness, being the top most spiritual guardian, was expected to convene the meeting. In spite of all the life attacks, it was impossible for Him to miss being present at the Kumbh Mela.

Disciples were extremely wary of the Media mafia While His Divine Holiness was participating in the Kumbh Mela, the secretaries of His Divine Holiness received requests for an interview by many news channels. Already, Sun Network Media Mafia, had executed a planned character assassination of His Divine Holiness by releasing a fabricated obscene video, and attacked His life through a mercenary mob of assassins. The secretaries to His Divine Holiness were wary of any association with the media at the given juncture.

Country’s Biggest Hindu Media Group, fabricates a BIG LIE

The Times Media Group Bennett Coleman and Company Limited, commonly known as The Times Group, is India’s largest media conglomerate. It was started in 1838. It’s newspaper - The Times of India had the largest circulation of any English-language newspaper in the world, with 33,21,702 (Over 33 lac) average qualifying sales. The company is a family business of the Sahu Jain family. The Times Group has over 11,000 employees and revenue exceeding $1.5 billion (~ Rs. 10 thousand crores INR). Times Now is a 24-hour English news channel in India, owned and operated by The Times Group. Dhanya Rajendran, was a rookie reporter from Times Now.

Times Group is known to justify mob-lynching of ethnic minorities In 1984 - A genocidal massacre was executed on minority Sikh community - 2,800 Sikhs were killed. As a justification of the ethnic cleansing, the Times Media Group, published articles such as, “De-Turbaning of Sikhs”. As an eyewash, the Chief editor was eventually fired, terming his views as “extremist.” For their justification of violence on the Sikh community, extremist-Hindu media houses were criticized in the United States House of Representatives. (Congressional Record volume 142, issue 137, September 28, 1996).

Owing to their Justification Propaganda - even after 34 years - no justice to the victims of genocide Even 34 years later, no justice was given to the families of the victims. In January 2018, the Supreme Court of India decided to form a three-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) of its own to probe 186 cases related to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

The Times Group is known to victimize even Supreme Court judges On September 10, 2008, Times Now had aired a false news, victimizing and defaming a Supreme Court Judge. The aggrieved Retd. Justice conveyed the mistake of the channel to them on the same day, and sent 2 more letters to no avail. The editor-in-chief requested a meeting with the Judge. To ridicule the Judge, when the Judge came for a meeting, the editor-in-Chief failed to show up.

The Times Group was slapped a Rs. 100 crore (~ $15 million USD) defamation lawsuit

Times Group wanted an interview - they swore by journalism ethics

13 March 2010 : Secretaries of His Divine Holiness were apprehensive. However, The Times Media Group, promised that the live video would ensure that His Divine

Holiness’s words reached the public without any editing. They assured to follow the utmost journalistic ethics and present the interview as it is LIVE, without any editing or tampering. With their promises, the secretaries felt that the interview might end the saga of deadly, negative, fake media coverage going across the nation against His Divine Holiness. They were convinced that this would be the necessary platform for His Divine Holiness to directly reach out to the nation and establish the truth.

Dhanya cites technical fault, promises to air uncensored recording When the interview started, Times Now reporter, Dhanya Rajendran, convinced His Divine Holiness that they had technical issues in telecasting and recorded the interview committing to telecast the interview as it is.

Justification Propaganda - Times Group fabricates a BIG LIE

The interview was the first public clarification of His Divine Holiness on the subject of the fabricated obscene video. The entire nation was waiting to hear. Clinching its huge captive audience, Times Now executed its true agenda, shocking the secretaries beyond words.

Times Group heavily edits interview, starting with SCREAMING LIES

Propaganda to declare Him less than human, unworthy of protection “Times Now” promised to telecast the live interview with His Divine Holiness but the telecast was completely edited, twisted and fabricated into a FAKE confession. It was a maliciously engineered news item. The headlines screamed: “TIMES NOW MANAGED TO TRACK DOWN SWAMI NITHYANAND IN HARIDWAR.” His facial dimensions were visually skewed and changed by the channel’s video morphing techniques to make His face look cartoonish.

Times Now justifies attacks on Life of His Divine Holiness He was maliciously portrayed as a ‘criminal on the run’. It maintained silence about the violence done to His Divine Holiness. The expectation was that Times Now will reach the truth to the people. With the opening headline, the expectation collapsed.

Times Group justifies fabrication and airing of FAKE obscene videos In the original footage, His Divine Holiness explained that the video was not real, it was completely fabricated, and said it needed to be analyzed (by a forensic agency) to

understand how it was created. He even expressed His surprise why channels were broadcasting the fabricated obscene videos.

Times Now twisted the whole thing and displayed a foxy bold headline posing to be a quote: “YES IT’S ME IN VIDEO!” - a completely fabricated line that incited more mob hatred and more violence against His Divine Holiness.

Media’s ‘Justification Propaganda’ Techniques Times Now used the following agendas in order to tactfully execute its heinous plan against His Divine Holiness:

Classical Conditioning Falsely leveraging and aligning the known reactions (based on research in fields of evolution and psychology) of the news audience, to a target person, in a derogatory way.

Appeal to prejudice People have a certain pre-existing bias towards various aspects. Presenting content which is leveraging that to appeal to the audience and thus convincing them on the false idea being presented by the channel.

Agenda setting Irrespective of the actual fact, inserting the ‘planned’ agenda and presenting the agenda with the news being just an excuse to present the agenda.

Beautiful people Leveraging the bias that people have, that they believe what is said by people with good appearance, and have bias for people with a distorted facial composure.

The non-‘beautiful people’ seem less than human and unworthy of protection The footage of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda broadcasted live on television compared to the footage taken by one of the secretaries of Paramahamsa Nithyananda shows that there was deliberate manipulation in the video of His Divine Holiness’s skin and proportions. The manipulation also started from the deliberate

setting of the camera at an inappropriate angle on the face of His Divine Holiness. Further, in the footage from Times Now, the lighting you can see is centered around His Divine Holiness’ head, done by video manipulation technology. The angle of the video shows his facial proportions more wide in the forehead and in the jaw. The combination of lighting corrections and changes to the proportion of His Divine Holiness’ face makes His figure cartoonish. Tampering with the visuals of the footage is clearly done with very specific agenda.

. (Left) Actual footage of His Divine Holiness during interview with Dhanya, recorded by camera of a mobile phone of a disciple. (Right) Skewed and cartoonified, doctored footage by Times Now. Times now applied the non-‘Beautiful people’ propaganda technique to make Him appear less than human and unworthy of protection.

The first photo is of His Divine Holiness taken from the a mobile camera of His Divine Holiness’ secretary in which his proportions are normal and the lighting is distributed evenly across his face and in the background. It became obvious that no media was looking for the truth. It only wanted ‘footage’ to cover its already conspired prepaid headlines.

What Sun Network did in South India - Times Group did Nationally

Sun Network had made the fabricated obscene video spread in the State of Tamil Nadu and Southern India. Times Now made the BIG LIE at a national level, and spread the FAKE news to every household in the country and internationally. Times Group owns “The Times of India” newspaper which is the largest circulation of any English-language newspaper in the world. It used all it’s channel outlets and created a huge media frenzy out of it’s BIG LIE.

The continuous strategic negative propaganda by Times Now, was an open media trial by which His Divine Holiness was made to look guilty thereby depriving Him forever of the fundamental human right of being innocent until proven guilty. Times Group laid justification of another round of madness to kill human life.

Assassins storm the Camp Amidst a mob of at least 100 that entered the Kumbh Mela camp of His Divine Holiness wielding weapons and demanding Him to leave, 3 assassins were implanted by the militant groups to exterminate Him. The mob ended up dismantling an empty camp in the Kumbh Ghat area. The destruction of the camp in the middle of the Kumbh Mela where there was no defense for His Divine Holiness, incited continuous fear psychosis. The havoc made by the mob created an immense amount of confusion in order to execute the silent assassination of Paramahamsa Nithyananda. However, even before the mob entered the camp, His Divine Holiness was taken away from the camp to a hotel in the heart of the city of Haridwar.

His Divine Holiness remained in the hotel to attend the remaining rituals of the Kumbh Mela. On 15 March 2010, in the afternoon, from the hotel window in Haridwar, one of His Divine Holiness’ secretaries noticed a group of four people dressed in misleading laymen’s clothes advancing in their direction. Two of them had video cameras slung over their shoulders, other two were seemingly empty-handed. Instant panic hit the Secretaries and they alerted His Divine Holiness of the situation.

Assassins Bombard His Hotel Room in Haridwar Media Bombards the Privacy of Hotel - https://youtu.be/ZWhTQqUzT8k

They frantically began packing. Just as His Divine Holiness was being taken out by His bodyguards, the assassins barged into the hotel room. Parts of ensuing scenes went on air as sensational live footage for the masses to consume. One of them rushed towards His Divine Holiness, wielding a small knife in his hands. Before he could stab Him, one of the bodyguards jumped in the way and kicked the weapon out of his hands and pushed the assassin to the ground. While one secretary, quickly guided His Divine Holiness out of the room, the other two desperately threw themselves into a fight with the cameramen. His Divine Holiness was moved out of Haridwar to safety in Himachal Pradesh.

Gurumurthy and his paid media successfully created a hostile environment for His Divine Holiness which directly threatened His very life, liberty and security.

Mastermind Gurumurthy’s Assassination attempt on His Divine Holiness

March 2010 : S Gurumurthy was in the meeting that was called for by him in the Indian Express Building in New Delhi, Manohar Shinde and Rajiv Malhotra were also in the meeting.

When His Divine Holiness was in Kumbh mela in Haridwar, Manohar Shinde had called His Divine Holiness’ disciple who was with him, and told him that Gurumurthy wanted to meet him in Delhi in the Indian Express house which is a guest house belonging to the Indian Express group. Gurumurthy had arranged accommodation for His Divine Holiness and 2 other disciples who were with Him.

His Divine Holiness and the disciples went and stayed there overnight. The next day, the disciple received instructions from Shinde how to reach the venue.

They entered the room. Before they could even sit down, without any introduction, Gurumurthy abruptly called His Divine Holiness aside and said, “I told you to keep this meeting confidential. Did you tell anyone else that you are coming here?”

His Divine Holiness said, “Since you told to keep it confidential, we came confidentially only. No one else knows we are coming here.”

Shinde turned towards the disciple and asked him, “Did you tell anyone else you are coming here?”

The disciple also said, “As you advised, I have not told anyone that we are coming here. The taxi driver did not know we were coming here. We changed taxi at the guest house where you arranged for our stay. So no one knows we are here.”

Suddenly Gurumurthy started screaming, “Do you understand the situation you are in? Your life as a spiritual guru is finished. Do you know who is working behind this attack? You don’t have the capacity to handle this.

Shinde shouted, “It is time for you to simply leave and disappear. I have the capacity and plans to make the university, and run it. You are not useful or required anymore.”

His Divine Holiness said, “Kaivalya (“Kaivalya” was the spiritual name Shinde used to go by), don’t you know me? Don’t you understand that I am being victimized? Don’t you see it is an attack on a Hindu guru? I am an enlightened Master, and all Masters go through these kind of attacks.”

Shinde said, “Don’t talk all that bull-shit to me. Just listen, this is over. You better understand and cooperate with the guidance we have for you.”

Rajiv Malhotra said, “Manohar ji, I don’t appreciate this. Even if you don’t believe Him as an Enlightened Master, He is your guru.”

Shinde replied, “ No He is not my guru. I considered Him as a guru earlier, but not anymore.”

Rajiv Malhotra said, “Even if that is your stand, at least you should listen to Swamiji. Ask Him what questions we have and let Him get a chance to answer. Why are you attacking Him without even basic courtesy?”

Shinde said, “Rajiv, please do not interfere, you don’t understand, I will explain to you later. Just listen now.”

Rajiv Malhotra said, “You invited me to come to this meeting to help Swamiji. I hope that is still the agenda.”

His Divine Holiness said, “Rajiv ji, I am not asking you all to do anything except what is right. I have not done any wrong and I expect my disciples to support me in this hour of crisis. And if anyone is not supporting, I am fine, I can understand. I will manage it with my disciples.”

Gurumurthy said, “What you will manage? I have studied the situation in Bidadi. You are helpless now. Rajiv, I am insisting that Bidadi ashram should be handed over to Kishen Reddy and Ram Ramanathan. I have had detailed discussions with them in Bangalore. They are ready to take over and run the ashram. Ram Ramanathan told me that he has a few teachers in and around Bangalore and Mysore. All arrangements will be made. None of these ashramite fellows are required to run the ashram.”

His Divine Holiness said, “What are you all talking Kaivalya? I can’t imagine you talking like this. I never expected this from you. You only wanted to support and help build the Vedic university in Bidadi. Have you forgotten your promises in LA (Los Angeles) to me? In front of all the US (United States) organizers?”

Shinde said, “Don’t worry about the US organizers, I will take care of all of them. They are not going to support you anymore. You forget about them.”

His Divine Holiness said, “No Kaivalya, I got messages from all of them, that they will continue to support me, and they all want to run the temples and centers no matter who the enemies are, or what the difficulties are.”

Shinde said, “Don’t worry about that. As soon as I go to the US, I will see to it that there will be no supporter left to support you.”

Rajiv said, “Swamiji, don’t believe a word of what he says. I am here to support you. I already know there are a lot of people out there who will not ditch you. I know you Swamiji, and I know why your devotees support you.”

He said, “I called Rajiv only to make Swamiji come here, otherwise He would not come. I don’t need Rajiv’s inputs here.”

Rajiv was saying something His Divine Holiness could not understand as Shinde and Gurumurthy kept abusively losing temper. They kept threatening His Divine Holiness and approaching Him. His Divine Holiness’ disciple told them, to please keep distance, and not to come near.

Then Gurumurthy said, “Swami, please come into this room, I want to talk to you alone. I really want to help you, trust me.”

His Divine Holiness’ disciple was objecting. But His Divine Holiness said, “Sure. You are unnecessarily getting excited, and you are misled. Let us talk. Even if you are angry with me, I know you love me, and I trust you. Let us talk.”

Gurumurthy led His Divine Holiness into an adjoining room As soon as they went inside, Gurumurthy pushed Him rudely to sit on the bed.

Gurumurthy pointed his finger at His Divine Holiness and said, “I don’t have much time to waste. Listen carefully. I have found out all the people who are around you and who are still committed to you. I have spoken to some of them and they agreed to work with my plan to manage the Bidadi campus. And the story is over now. You quietly go away for some 10 years, and then we will see how things shape up. I will help you with basic needs etc., for your support. But if you insist on staying back and fighting back, I will take away all your disciples, in LA (Los Angeles) and all over USA. I have already spoken to Popat. We will manage that property there only. I have spoken to Kishen. We will manage the Hyderabad property separately.”

His Divine Holiness said, “This cannot be done. Where will all my ashramites go? And moreover, I have not done anything wrong, don’t you understand? Don’t you want to support me and help me in proving my innocence and continue our mission? Where will all the sanyasis (monks) go?”

Gurumurthy said, “You don’t worry about all those dumb people. You worry about yourself. You are going to face a lot of trouble if you don’t leave. I have my own plans now what to do for the university. I cannot go down with you. Any way you are down; if you stay around I will go down with you. There is no need for me to do that. I am giving you the best option you have right now. Hand over everything and get lost. Go into seclusion if you have to.”

His Divine Holiness said, “Please don’t abuse this opportunity. Only now I am understanding that you were only eyeing the Bidadi and LA property for your personal interests. I trusted you. This is not a time for you to sacrifice me. This is the time for us to stay together and continue our projects to forward Hinduism.”

Suddenly, Gurumurthy lost control and became wild and pushed Him on the bed. His Divine Holiness fell back and His hand hit something and it fell down.

Then Gurumurthy said, “I will kill you and no one will even know you are finished.” And he held His Divine Holiness’ neck in his two hands tightly. “I will kill anyone who comes in my way”, he said.

His Divine Holiness was quite fit normally, but He was not eating properly, and at the guest house, He could not have proper rest, so He was generally weak. He was unable to defend, or even call for help.

With the noise and commotion, His Divine Holiness’ disciple opened the door and ran in to see if everything was okay. Gurumurthy did not see His Divine Holiness’ disciple, and he was still holding His Divine Holiness’ neck with both hands. His Divine Holiness was on the bed, on His back awkwardly, and Gurumurthy had his hands on His neck, strangling Him.

His Divine Holiness’ disciple came in from behind Gurumurthy and pulled him away. His Divine Holiness managed to get His breath and get down from the bed.

His Divine Holiness’ disciple said, “Swamiji, let’s get out of here.”

As they were leaving, Gurumurthy said, “If anyone comes to know about this, neither you nor your ashramites will remain alive; quietly leave”.

Without a word, His Divine Holiness’ disciple and His Divine Holiness quickly got out of the room, left the guest house and drove to Haridwar immediately.

Dayananda Saraswati had warned, “Do not listen to Gurumurthy” His Divine Holiness’ disciple with tears in his eyes at what he had just witnessed as done to his guru, recalled the meeting that His Divine Holiness had had with renowned spiritual head Dayananda Saraswati a few days earlier. Dayananda Saraswati had called His Divine Holiness personally and warned not to take the advice of Gurumurthy who in a similar crisis situation for Kanchi Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati, a Hindu leader, had exploited the situation and advised him to renounce his spiritual head position to be able to look “dignified” and get political support to come out of the crisis.

Dayananda Saraswati warned His Divine Holiness repeatedly not to do ‘peetha tyaga’ (step down from the spiritual head position of the Seat) of His self-made Mission at any cost.

Gurumurthy blackmails His Divine Holiness to step down

March 23, 2010 : When the planned attack on His Divine Holiness happened in 2010, Gurumurthy forced His Divine Holiness to give up His spiritual head position, His peetha - Ruling Seat. His peetha was not that of a traditional inherited mutt, but one that was established by Him upon years of untiring service to humanity.

Below is the exchange of mails between Gurumurthy and His Divine Holiness’s secretary.

Sorry there is a typo in my mail. It must read In my view the idea of retirement is to appeal to the government to take a lenient view. The idea of litigation is to force the government to take a strict view. In my mail instead of strict it reads lenient.

With respect I differ from the legal advice. This force the Karnataka government which is dormant today to take active position. This will bring in the strict police view, and exclude the flexible political view. Mahesh Jethmalani is stunned t his advice being ignored. It is a great risk. But .... now that it has been taken, one needs to see how it can match with retirement idea. In my view the idea of retirement is to appeal to the government to take a lenient view. The idea of litigation is to force the government to take a lenient view. If someone were to talk to the government, it will now say that the matters are in court and it can do nothing on its own. What is going to be your answer? Bhaktananda please copy these messages to Manoharji and Rajivji and not to me only. It is they who sought my help.

I saw a news item in TV that Nithyananda has moved the HC of Karnataka to quash all cases against him. If it were true, I see a huge risk in this. It is a very wrong move, strategically and even legally. It is impossible some court would grant relief. Even if some favourable order is obtained by hook or crook, the SC will quash the order as the law is clear that the police cannot refuse to investigate an offence of which complaint has been made. Strategically, this is an ill advised move as it invites the Karnataka government to take a stand against Nithyananda which they have to under the law to say that they have a right to investigate which no court can deny. So a neutral Karnataka Government may be forced into taking a hostile stand as the government cannot take one stand in this case, namely that, complaint need not be investigated by police and other cases take the very opposite of that stand! Surprised as to who could have advised so casually, I checked up with Mahesh Jethmalani, who told me that he has categorically ruled out moving the court. I think with this the possibility of the Karnataka government taking reasonable stand is almost lost. I cannot think of a more ill-advised move. I have also not heard since morning about the statement of retirement. The quash petition and the retirement into seclusion do not match. Is anyone thinking comprehensively about all this? Or are decisions being taken on adhoc basis?

The Step down letter that Gurumurthy forced His Divine Holiness to release

Gurumurthy forced His Divine Holiness to attest and release a step-down letter, to meet the malicious vested interests of the Hindu extremist forces. It was shocking to see the true face of Gurumurthy. His Divine Holiness’ assistant was still recovering from seeing his guru almost killed, especially when He had been warned of Gurumurthy’s real face by renowned spiritual head Dayananda Saraswati.

Hindu Extremist Militants turn Aadheenam into “a concentration camp of the 21st Century”

March 2010, all bank accounts of the organization were frozen. The State-Police-Mafia nexus had cut off all the basic needs of the organization to sustain itself. In such a situation, the people in the monastery decided to grow their own agricultural farm to be

able to sustain themselves; they would drink water from the rain that would otherwise accumulate under the earth.

Illegal freezing of bank accounts Without the proper documents, bank accounts of His Divine Holiness’ charitable trusts were illegally frozen by the appropriate State authority.

Mafia forced residents to starvation to drive them out of the monastery No money was allowed to be withdrawn, making the main source of food and basic amenities for the residents of the adheenam a huge struggle. When asked, the bank authorities said that upon receiving a letter from the Criminal Investigation Department, they had frozen the accounts. However, they did not cite any court document. To save money, the residents of the aadheenam began rationing food out.

Monks decided to meet their own needs, they starting farming and rain water harvesting The residents decided to grow their own agricultural farm to be able to sustain themselves. They started ‘rain water harvesting’ to meet their needs.

A Puducherry Lawyer files a notorious false complaint On 5 Mar 2010, a case was filed in Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, South India (Ref.:Cr. No. 90/2010) by a lawyer, alleging hurting religious sentiments of the people and cheating by His Divine Holiness, as a consequence of the release of the fabricated video by the persecutors. It third party person who files this complaint, did not claim that his sentiments were hurt, he claimed (without naming anybody) devotees’ sentiments were hurt. If at all, such a case should have been filed by devotees against the mafia which created and released the fabricated obscene video. But instead, His Divine Holiness was being persecuted through this lawsuit. The Counsel to His Divine Holiness were dealing with such absurd baseless complaints continuously from the year 2010. Bank accounts of the trust had been frozen making it impossible to survive such attacks by misuse of law.

The State-Police-Media-Criminal Nexus Raid the Monastery Media kept airing a baseless and terrorising false news that there are several video CDs in the Bengaluru Aadheenam showing relationship of His Divine Holiness with many women. Playing into the pre-planned conspiracy with the media, the police landed at the Bengaluru Aadheenam on the 15th of April, and barged into all the areas, ransacked the place, dismantled the computers and confiscated the hard disks and CDs, unlawfully, without any court-warrant to do so.

In the subsequent court proceedings,that happened later, it was officially recognized that nothing was found on any of these storage devices. However, when the items were returned back to the residents of the aadheenam, they found that the CDs and hard disks had been completely erased of data, and not in working condition anymore.

Police sexually harass female monks The police, led by DIG (Deputy Inspector General) of CID (Criminal Investigation Department) Charan Reddy and DGP (Director General of Police) and head of CID (Criminal Investigation Department) Guru Prasad made it a customary practice to come and conduct raids in the Bengaluru aadheenam. Every time, Charan Reddy and Guru Prasad came, they would unabashedly and inappropriately handle the female monks. Charan Reddy and Guru Prasad would barge into the dorms of the female Sanyasis (Hindu monks), ruthlessly pulling them out, sexually harassing them and forcing them to file false rape complaints against His Divine Holiness.

The irony is, Lenin had raped 2 female Sanyasis in the monastery, but the cases are still pending in the court of Bangalore. Media and police were hand-in-hand executing the atrocities, nobody offered help, no women rights organization, no Police, no law, nobody.

Destruction of evidence of Genocide Media laid the grounds for justifying unauthorized police entry and destruction of evidence by the police in the Bengaluru Aadheenam. The hard disks, taken by the Police, contained the CCTV footage (Closed Circuit Television) of the criminal attempts on life of residents, destruction of property and acts of violence inflicted on the monastery by the Extremist Hindu Militants and Sun Television Mafia.

Destruction of intellectual property Some of the hard disks contained several terabytes of spiritual discourses of His Divine Holiness and scans of ancient Hindu manuscripts. This atrocious theft and irreversible destruction of intellectual property is a fundamental crime which got no coverage in the media at all. It is the equivalent of burning libraries or destroying the hard work of a man’s lifetime dedication and earnings. Books, talks, and tremendous amount of intellectual contribution that was of immense value to humanity, was stored on those hard disks. However now they are lost to history.

State-sponsored terrorism causes loss of Rs. 200 million (3 million US $) Public resources were spent on this State-sponsored terrorism. In this attack, more than Rs. 200 million worth of temple property was destroyed.

Salvaging sacred sentiments from the ashes, lakhs of Rupees worth of damage, irreparable losses The devotees who had come in by then, saw the entire scene of blazing fire and torn and vandalised property. Terrorized by the life-attack on their beloved Guru, the devotees started putting out the fire to salvage what they could. The whole heritage was vandalized and destroyed in the fire, which burned out the building from top to bottom. From the books, rudraksha malas (sacred rosaries), devotional music, audio and video equipment, nothing was left when the fire was extinguished. The place was their temple of worship. They were shocked and heavily saddened by this brutal crime of the assassins.

The remaining ruins after the fire

Conclusion - Mass Euphoria to Kill

During this riot in the ashram, even the daily essentials like the food and milk supplies which arrived in the Ashram to be consumed for the residents was thrown and damaged to deprive the community of food. The whole campus was ravaged, demolished and a fear psychosis was generated. After the riots in the ashram, 121 residents got admitted into the hospital with major injuries such as bone fracture, acid injuries and burn injuries. Several children went through psychological trauma.

It was a well planned strategy of the crime perpetrators who wanted to lend the victim helpless and non-defensible by demolishing his establishment and his community.

It is well-known that in India, mob-lynching is a clear strategy to eliminate someone without any particular individual or organisation to blame for it. Hindu terrorist groups such as Bajrang Dal and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), who are looking to destroy all Guru-based traditions, have been known to use such strategies. In the case of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, this is exactly what was attempted.

To ensure that His Divine Holiness would be terminated, the mob lynching attack spread like a wildfire across all the monasteries of the organizations. Hundreds of Sanyasis (monks) were physically attacked, crores of property was burnt and damaged, the revered sacred worshipped deities were defecated.

In Tiruvannamalai, the birth place of His Divine Holiness, members of Hindu Makkal Katchi, a group of Hindu leaders attacked the ashram, and upon not finding Him there, gave full vent on the Sanyasis living in the ashram. Similarly several ashrams in South India, the barbarous assassins’ attack happened.

Illegal Arrest and Third Degree Torture by State Police (CID) When the protectors of law became the perpetrators of crime

FAKE ALLEGATIONS OF INDECENCY MADE BY POLICE MAFIA 4 March 2010: A FAKE police complaint was made by a man, Lenin, who claimed to be a brahmachari (celibate monk) of His Divine Holiness monastery, saying he was suspicious that His Divine Holiness was misbehaving with other disciples.

POLICE MAFIA converts fake allegations of misbehaving into a FAKE RAPE complaint Lenin claimed that according to the teaching of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, Lenin himself had followed brahmacharyam (being celibate). Lenin further alleged that although Lenin was brahmachari (celibate monk), His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda was not following celibacy. Lenin said he felt cheated. Nowhere in his complaint Lenin mentioned the word “rape” or named anybody as a “rape-victim”. Yet, he registered the complaint under the legal section numbers relating to rape charges! It was pre-planned with the police.

There were no victims or proofs of the accusation made by the Police-Mafia Because Lenin made no claims of rape at all, naturally there were no victims (even as per his own allegations and claims) of the alleged fabricated rape charges. Police was not the complainant so even they did not have any victims or proofs to substantiate the FAKE charges.

The UNLAWFUL FAKE complaint was filed to a different Police who had no official power to investigate the complaint This complaint was filed 370 KMs away from the Bengaluru Police, in a different State (Tamil Nadu), in a Chennai Police station in the same city where Sun Network’s head office is located. The illegal complaint was registered only because of the influence of the Sun Network head Kalanidhi Maran (grand-nephew of the then Chief Minister of State of Tamil Nadu - Karunanidhi).

UNLAWFUL FAKE complaint was transferred to Bengaluru State-Police to justify UNLAWFUL detention and torture of His Divine Holiness Once successfully registered, the Police transferred the complaint to Bengaluru (300 Kms away) stating that it had nothing to do with the city of Chennai or State of Tamil Nadu.

On 21 April 2010, at 2:30 pm, the State Police Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Karnataka illegally arrested His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda in Himachal Pradesh in North India. The arrest was unlawful - unsubstantiated and unprecedented with no shred of evidence found against Him; a cruel suppression of basic human right to life, liberty and freedom. It was a case of the State bullying an individual, conspiring against him, victimizing him through false complaints, illegally arresting and torturing with intent to eliminate. The illegal imprisonment lasted 52 days. The CID executed third degree torture while denying food, water and sleep. The intent was to either eliminate Him or force a false confession to convict Him.

An ugly ploy to deny bail 21st Apr 2010: At around 1:30 pm in Bengaluru, the Counsel to His Divine Holiness prayed to the Court, requesting anticipatory bail. The judge was about to grant the bail based on the pure merit of the case - that the CID (Criminal Investigation Department) was unable to find any victim till then.

Court observes that statements of several witnesses reveal 100% Trust in His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda and His mission. However court rejects His Divine Holiness’ anticipatory bail petition.

However, the police lied in Court that His Divine Holiness was already arrested. The truth is, the arrest did not happen until 2:30 pm. But by uttering the lie, the bail petition was made infructuous (redundant) and the bail was denied. The blatant lie was masterminded by the DIG (Deputy Inspector General) of Criminal Investigation Department - Charan Reddy, to ensure compliance of S.Gurumurthy’s instruction which was: the arrest and attempt to kill Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

Illegal Arrest and attempt to Kill Mob lynching all the way At 2:30 pm, on 21 Apr 2010, a team of CID officials illegally arrested His Divine Holiness in Himachal Pradesh, North India. He was taken by road to Chandigarh and flown from there to Bengaluru in South India.

Mob lynching at Himachal, and at the Chandigarh airport

The Officers “criminalised” Him As His Divine Holiness was moved in the mob, a policeman was covering His face with a maroon book. His Divine Holiness kept warding it off. However the State police wanted to position Him as a terrorist whose face is usually covered in public, which in India is considered admission of guilt. This footage was repeatedly telecast in mainstream media for over 160 hours, to etch His image as a terrorist in the minds of people, to justify further atrocities that were waiting to be done to Him.

“Mob lynching” at the Chandigarh airport, Deliberately the officer tries to cover the face of His Divine Holiness” Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IH_j7oQbbU

Mob lynching continues at Bengaluru Airport

Bengaluru airport security compromised Airport security protocol doesn’t allow visitors inside the airport beyond limits. But an unprecedented mob gathered at the Bengaluru airport, inside the restricted area, when His Divine Holiness was brought out by the officials. The moment His Divine Holiness reached the terminal, the policemen surrounded Him in a square formation to present Him as a dangerous criminal being taken for execution. The media reiterated this drama. The mob of assassins was however left to maul around Him, grab Him and execute any form of mob lynching on Him. It was also evident that there would be only anonymity surrounding any attack in the whole scene. That is the way mob lynches are planned: where police, media and politicians appear helpless while the mob lynches, and anonymity automatically shrouds the real attacker in the chaos of the mob. Those watching on their television screens worldwide could not understand the blatant compromise of security.

How was such a mob allowed inside the restricted area, while on normal days, such tight security and public safety was maintained by security personnel there? Disciples around the world watched with sheer horror and disbelief, the moving scene of their Guru in utter vulnerability to a life-attack at any moment, in addition to making Him a public spectacle for maximum intimidation. The Police pretended to control the crowd. A huge and planned security lapse was visible.

Acid attack in Bengaluru airport

Slipper and Acid egg thrown at His Divine Holiness outside Bengaluru Airport

As His Divine Holiness was dragged and pushed towards the police vehicle, several sharp objects, shards of glass and a foot slipper was thrown at Him. A lethal acid egg was flung on His Divine Holiness just as He was about to get inside the vehicle. When He moved the car door and lowered His head to get inside, the egg bounced off the door and fell to the ground, breaking and spreading its poisonous contents on the road. The media showed the slipper being hurled but suppressed the acid-egg attack. It went without publicity and without justice. His Divine Holiness was taken into direct judicial (CID) custody for the first 8 days in the pretext of investigation.

Illegal Impounding of His Divine Holiness’ Passport 29 April 2010 : While His Divine Holiness had been unlawfully arrested, and still in prison, Gurumurthy, the mastermind behind the Extremist Hindu Forces, used his influence in the Police to have His Divine Holiness’ passport revoked.

8 days of third degree torture by CID

Justification of 3rd degree torture Due to increased Human Rights concerns in the country, it was near impossible for police to carry third degree torture of accused under their custody. However, owing to the successful media justification propaganda, they were able to carry out planned torture of His Divine Holiness. The persecution by the State-Police-Media nexus deprived His Divine Holiness the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty as per Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UNHR Article 11) of United Nations.

No food - No water - ridiculed by forcing to eat cow meat The entire 8-day period, the CID officers did not give His Divine Holiness food or water that He could consume. The CID kept Him hungry. They would bring Him a plate with cow’s meat to force Him to eat, ridiculing the religious beliefs of His Divine Holiness. It was done since they knew very well that He was an orthodox practicing Hindu who worshipped the cow. The entire 8 days, His Divine Holiness went without food.

The CID had a clear agenda The CID had its clear agenda: either eliminate His Divine Holiness or force a false confession from Him to convict Him. To make a person utter a lie, requires more intimidation and torture, than to make him tell the truth. The CID implemented third degree torture on His Divine Holiness, not leaving a fingerprint on Him that might trap them with a hard evidence.

Heavy Lights High Decibel Shrill Sounds The police installed heavy lights through a special contract just for purpose of torturing Him and forcing a false confession. Long unending sound torture sessions were run to cause deep physical and psychological pain. Tile cutting machine was used to create shrill sounds and asphyxiating dust inside His cell.

Ice-cold water on bare floor His Divine Holiness was not provided even a mattress in the cell apart from a wet wrapper paper to sit on. He sat, slept and meditated on the bare floor. During night to stop him 10

from sleeping, water mixed with ice was poured in His cell. His Divine Holiness silently endured such inhuman acts.

Induced Asphyxiation Tile-cutting arranged around His cell continuously let out dust which he had to inhale, choking Him through the night, bringing tears in His eyes, and a constant running nose. He spent nights choking, unable to breathe, covering his nose waiting for dawn when the machine would stop.

Deprivation of Religious Rights While in prison, His Divine Holiness was denied the right to perform His religious rituals as a spiritual and religious head. The police even disallowed Him to use his rosary beads, ridiculing that He might use it to strangle Himself to death.

Denied right to meet lawyer His Divine Holiness was deprived of the right to even meet His lawyer. This is a direct violation of the universal human rights to justice which also proclaims the right to freedom of practicing religion, belief in teachings.

Threatening to kill with “Encounters” The CID officers briefed His Divine Holiness of a technique called “Encounters” where the accused is deliberately provoked to attack a person, and is killed by the person or the police as a choiceless act of protection against him. In India, over 900 cases of “encounters” have been executed by the police. While threatening with an encounter, the police even told Him that He need not even repeat the lie in court, and that He just needed to confess the lie in the interrogation that they were conducting!

Watch this video to see the mob lynching: https://youtu.be/hB6Cemmok64

CID unlawfully passes interrogation footage to media The CID hatched a vicious plan to force a false confession from His Divine Holiness. They built a special interrogation room, recorded the whole footage and gave it to the media. LEAKING CCTV FOOTAGE IS ILLEGAL Leak of security camera footage was illegal. It was to aid unfair trial, it even compromised the security of police investigation unit - outright illegal. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Zahira Habibullah Sheikh & Anr vs State Of Gujarat has held that, ● “.... fair trial obviously would mean a trial before an impartial Judge, a fair prosecutor and atmosphere of judicial calm.” ● “Fair trial means a trial in which bias or prejudice for or against the accused, the witnesses, or the cause which is being tried is eliminated.” The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 contains and defines the procedure which has to be followed in criminal cases.

A special ‘interrogation room’ was built for torture The CID officers hired MAASTEK, an agency to design a special interrogation room for interrogating His Divine Holiness. A vicious plan was already in place to force Him to confess a lie and send the interrogation footage to media – and falsely claim that the interrogation footage was ‘leaked’. Shocking CID Work Order Exposes that the interrogation room was specially designed to leak the footage The police built a special interrogation room suitable for the purpose of the torture, with heavy lights, yet be presentable to the world once it is aired by the media. In the work order issued by the CID to MAASTEK, it was categorically directed to design two rooms: an interrogation room and a viewing room. It was clearly told to customize the room for ‘special torture.’

Extract from CID’s work order to MAASTEK for building a new interrogation cell

It was clearly instructed to have just one table, one chair and nothing else; to make the whole scene “look real drab”. The idea was to give it the look of a neat interrogation room interrogating a criminal, with no distractions to the viewer who watches the leaked footage, keeping his focus entirely on the subject (His Divine Holiness). Watch the interrogation footage which was unlawfully given to media mafia : https://youtu.be/Kxd-CQglb5M

Visuals from the ‘leaked’ CID footage, which shows His Divine Holiness in the cell and in the interrogation room, which is a crude breach of right to fair trial.

The interrogation footage is broadcast on national television channels with false ‘confession’ headlines His Divine Holiness was taken into a ‘staged’ room where police officers were seated on one side of a huge table and He was to sit on the other. Heading the investigation was DIG (Deputy Inspector General) CID, Charan Reddy, a chief player in the nexus against His Divine Holiness. Ofcourse, the plan to force a false confession failed. Within a few hours, as criminally plotted, the interrogation footage was unlawfully released to the media which aired it on national television channels with false voiceovers of ‘confession’! - Media colluded with CID and flashed the big lies showing it as a confession. FACT: There was no audio, no confession was made by His Divine Holiness. - The media made big lies - they claimed that His Divine Holiness was not cooperating in the interrogation giving false officers’ names and that He was answering very briefly with long pauses in-between! FACT: The footage clearly showed that His Divine Holiness was talking animatedly and at long length. He completely cooperated with the interrogation. The footage was first given to Udhaya Television (a channel of Sun Television Network). Within a few hours, several national media houses such as TV9, Time Now, etc., picked it up, flashing completely derogatory and false headlines. Sun TV network is a chief co-conspirator in the systematic efforts to assassinate His Divine Holiness. 13

TImes Now TV channel shows FAKE NEWS as if they did an ‘expose’, running atrocious breaking news headlines - ‘Sex Swami’s Confession’ - falsely qualifying that His Divine Holiness has already confessed! In truth, the interrogation tape has NO AUDIO and NO CONFESSION ever happened !

The Police lies that footage was stolen! When Counsel to His Divine Holiness moved the court requesting for the original footage from the CID (State Police Criminal Investigation Department) to disprove media, the CID lied that the footage was stolen and leaked to media! Their lie was exposed by the scapegoat-technician who was tortured to profess guilty of stealing the footage, when in reality it was a planned act of the CID.

THE EVIDENCE OF CRUEL ACTS OF CRIMES BY THE CID (STATE POLICE) - CID TORTURES THE CCTV CAMERA INSTALLER INTO FALSE CONFESSION Following is the expose on the CID crimes of what led to unlawfully giving out the interrogation video footage in the hands of media. Excerpts from the official confession of Mr. Suresh, a hired consultant of the agency MAASTEK, who installed the CCTV camera in special interrogation room of CID office and asked to take out the footage clippings in an external drive. - We completed installation of CCTV system…..I was clearly told to handover the footage in a pen drive. I did according to his (Mr. Vinay, the manager) instructions. - Mr. Charan Reddy (CID) and other inspectors told, ‘Those who have taken the clippings, please clarify. I will take you to the DG (Director General); he will release you after taking an apology letter the same day afternoon.’ - I was told to confess guilty. ‘Go and claim to be guilty, the rest I will manage.’ - Vijay, SP Mr. Chandrasekhar (Superintendent of Police) and Mr. Marishetty spoke to me and said, ‘If you confess to the mistake, we will just put a small case and close the matter because you are in no way related to the Maastek company. They took my mobile and there was no means of communicate with either my family or lawyer. - POLICE TORTURE IN A REMOTE AREA FOR FALSE CONFESSION: Around 9 pm, SP Mr. Chandrasekhar called 2 constables and one inspector spoke to them. They took me to a lodge named RAJA GALAXY at around 11:30 pm. They told me to make an entry into the register in my own writing. They took me inside, removed my clothes, tied my mouth and legs and tortured me and told me to agree, threatening that if I don’t, they know what to do. They instructed me to tell that I had given the pen drive to Sinchana Media. I was unable to bear the torture and at around 1 am, I agreed to say according to their instructions. They even threatened me, ‘If you tell this to anybody, that you were in the lodge, you will face dire consequences.’ - ARREST: As per their instructions, when the Magistrate asked me, I replied, ‘They treated me very well.’ They took me to Judicial custody and arrested me. - Even after I am on bail, they are harassing me and torturing me, calling me all the time and saying, ‘If you do not agree, another case will be registered in your name.’ They are harassing me and trying to take signature on statements as per their wish forcibly. DIG Mrs. Malini Krishnamoorthy and Mr. Kishore Chandra are abusing me and scaring me during interrogation. - CID HARASSMENT TO FAMILY: They are sending constables to my house and simply torturing my parents, when I am not there. I am mentally depressed. I am thinking of commiting suicide due to the agony which my parents are facing due because of the CID harassments.

Desperate CID “appeals” to “victims to come forward”, openly offers monetary compensation The State was on the brink of losing the case with no offence or victim yet. The DGP (Deputy General of Police) of the CID, DV Guruprasad, working against His Divine Holiness, made an “appeal for victims to come forward” through all print and electronic media! He even openly promised them monetary compensation. Yet nobody showed up. This was the only trial in the world where a person is arrested without charges first, and ‘evidences’, ‘victims’ and ‘facts’ are fabricated later. Even after 52 days of illegal detention of His Divine Holiness, no evidence or any complainant against Him could be got.

The headline says - “Paisa feko, tamasha dekho”. The literal meaning is, “Throw money, and watch the drama show.” It implies: bribe the fake witnesses and enjoy the fake trial.

State Police Sexually Harass female monks - touches them inappropriately Director General of Police CID Guruprasad and Deputy Superintendent of Police CID Charan Reddy went to the Bengaluru Aadheenam (temple monastery) where His Divine Holiness used to live. They used to barge in the aadheenam, entering the dorms of female Sanyasis (Hindu monks), ruthlessly pulling them out, sexually harassing them by touching them inappropriately, treating them like prostitutes, sexually assaulting them, and forcing them to file a false rape complaint against His Divine Holiness. They took the pretext that Indian law mandates that a woman cannot be summoned to the police station and the police have to go to her. The same law also mandates that she has to be informed and her consent taken, but this was grossly violated! Female sannyasis flew to other monastery branches and their pre-monastic families to escape from the torture by the inhuman and lustful state police. Media and police were hand in hand executing the atrocities, nobody offered help, no women rights organization, no one from the society .

Gurumurthy Orders Attack on Hyderabad Temple-Monastery 13 May 2010: Gurumurthy had promised Kishan Reddy (a real estate mafia), a prime property of His Divine Holiness - the Hyderabad Aadheenam (temple monastery complex). 15 of his Mafia men, entered the Hyderabad Aadheenam on 13 May 2010. They broke the front gate and barged in. After that, they close the gate with their own lock so that nobody could enter or escape. They then beat the sannyasis (monks). Several aadheenams faced such abrupt persistent attacks. In all the Aadheenams, the Sanyasis filed police complaints, but no action has been taken for any case till date.

A bail depriving Him of human rights is given after 53 days 11 June 2010: State Police quietly slips a memo in the court declaring there were no witnesses to claim any wrong by His Divine Holiness. The High Court demanded, “Under guise of suspicion, how long can you (Police) torture a person mentally?”

(Left) : The High Court was highly displeased by the State Police and was about to quash the case on the lack of merit. The Hon’ble Court said, “Under guise of suspicion how long can you (Police) torture a person mentally.”

12 June 2010: His Divine Holiness was released from illegal imprisonment.

Why did they not want His Divine Holiness to speak after he leaves prison? Torture is illegal in India. They tortured him for 8 days, completely against law and humanity. And then, when they could not find any evidence against Him, they released Him from the illegal arrest. They did not want Him to reveal to the world and to His many thousands of followers about the torture. To silent Him forcibly, they denied His fundamental Human Right & Freedom of Speech.

The 8-day State police (CID) torture: - They threatened Him with encounters to force Him to make a false confession.

- No food or water was given to him for 8 days. - They kept him hungry for days denying food and water. They would ridicule his sacred sentiments by forcing him to eat cow’s meat knowing well that as a Hindu, he worshipped the co as a sacred being. Therefore He never ate anything. - He was denied His rights to perform His religious rituals and denied using his sacred rosary beads. - Basic human needs were denied to Him - no bed or mattress was provided, instead there was only some thin paper on the floor for Him to rest. The Police would torture Him making the floor wet and adding ice. - He had no human rights in prison, he was isolated and made helpless - nobody could visit Him, he couldn’t take any help of any lawyer or legal representative. - When he came out of prison, they issued orders that he should not speak after leaving the prison.

It was a gross violation of human rights of subjecting to torture, cruel inhuman, degrading treatment and punishment (United Nations Declaration of Human Rights - Article 5) and arbitrary arrest, detention or exile (Article 9).

Bail ‘conditions’ suspended the fundamental Human Rights & Freedom of speech (Following are the extracts from the bail order)

Essence: More than 50 witnesses, devotees, disciples and various people were remanded, interrogated and harassed by the State prosecution, but all of them gave statements only in support of His Divine Holiness and his divinity; no offence by His Divine Holiness got indicated.

Essence: The (fabricated) obscene video clips undoubtedly hurts the sacred sentiments of devotees. But the clips do not support fake rape (376) charges.

Essence; There is no material to support any of the allegations of rape or any of the other allegations. Just based on allegations, a person cannot be denied ‘right to life’.

Even the Investigation Officer said, “there is no material to support any allegations”.

Propaganda for Justification of Persecution:

Essence: The Court is clear that the matter cannot be discussed as it has been distorted by the Media character assassination of the image of His Divine Holiness.

However, since His Divine Holiness is at a position of high respect and regard in the Hindu society there should not be even one iota of doubt on his image and His Divine Holiness must come out of the persecution demonstrating strong determination and courage living up to the expectation of the people.

Unjust Bail Conditions - Human Rights Suspended

● Freedom of Speech, freedom to impart religious discourses indefinitely suspended. ● Freedom to travel suspended : Cannot leave the jurisdiction without court permission. ● Cannot preach or conduct any program till investigation is complete. ● Has to sign in a register in the local Police station every 15 days.

The inhuman bail conditions were a direct violation of the fundamental right of speech and practicing one’s religion as enshrined in the Constitution of India as well as violation of the fundamental human rights of freedom of thought, conscience, and religion to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance. as per the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights - Article 18.

Persecution by the State continues The State-Police-Media-Mafia wanted to re-arrest His Divine Holiness and restart the torture, to silently assassinate Him while in custody to fulfill the agenda of the S Gurumurthy-led Hindu extremists. They tried to frame Him in multiple sinister ways, attacking Him through different power machineries.

1. False complaint by Forest Department Unlawfully chopping sandalwood tree is prohibited as per Karnataka Forest Act, 1963. Even if there are sandalwood trees in one’s own legally owned premises, a person cannot cut them without a license from the government. Sandalwood as a species is getting fast extinct due to overexploitation as it is the most expensive wood in the world ( $200 USD per Kg ). 03 March 2010 : The genocidal attack on 100 monasteries by a huge mob of Extremist Hindu Militants was timed with a slew of false allegations. On the very same day of the attack, the attackers chopped off a sacred sandalwood tree. As per the procedures the Forest Department was informed.

26 April 2010 : In Spite of this, the forest department issued a notice a court notice A Notice to His Divine Holiness from the to His Divine Holiness while he was still in Forest Department dated 26-April-2010 jail. The attackers who had actually done the crime were left scot-free. The administrators informed the Forest Department that His Divine Holiness was already in jail and requested for another date. Simultaneously, they filed for an anticipatory bail, lest the State Police could re-arrest and torture of His Divine Holiness for this fake absurd charges as soon as he is released. In a series of way the mafia tried to pull His Divine Holiness into the prison on one or other false allegation so that he could be forced into false confession and silently assassinated which they would misreport to the courts as a suicide or a natural death.

2. False ‘Poaching’ charges against Paramahamsa Nithyananda

26 April 2010 : False charges of using tiger skin - wildlife products - were framed on His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. The fact was that His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda was using a simple cloth on which a tiger was printed. CID claimed that a CD was seized from Paramahamsa Nithyananda Bidadi ashram that had visuals of HIM using wildlife products including a tiger pelt, skin of a leopard, spotted deer, and a wild dog. These FAKE news were to divert attention of the masses from the atrocities which were being done by the State against the monastic community. The State Police wanted to prolong the arrest, to force out a false confession which would be followed by a silently assassination. The silent assassination would be mis-reported to the courts as a suicide or as a natural death.

2. False complaint to Food and Public distribution department 16 June 2010 : On release from prison, His Divine Holiness sat in “Pancha-tapas” (penance which includes the five elements of earth, water, fire, air and ether). It is an ancient Vedic practice of sitting inside a fire circle for destruction of collective negativity. As per Hinduism, when abuse and attack is done on an incarnation who had come to do good to humanity, prakriti – Nature – needed to be appeased to avoid pralaya (catastrophe for humanity). In order to balance prakriti, Paramahamsa Nithyananda sat for the tapas. This the media mafia used for filing a FAKE complaint with the ‘Food and Public distribution department,’ alleging that His Divine Holiness had used kerosene (which is subsidized fuel for poor of the country and sold at a lower than market price) instead of clarified butter. The administrators had to file for an anticipatory bail, to avoid another arrest and torture. Arrest of His Divine Holiness meant that the State Police would employ torture to force out a false confession which would be followed by a silently assassination. The silent assassination would be mis-reported to the courts as a suicide (justifying it with a false confession, or a false last letter), or as a natural death.

3. Forced to starvation by The Income Tax Officer An unlawful action against the community, by an Income Tax Officer, took a toll on many innocent people of the community.

“For three weeks, we had to live on rations meant for a few days” “For three weeks, we had to live on rations meant for a few days,” says Ma Nithya Brahmanjnananda, as she wipes away tears that show the pain is still fresh, even years after the incident. “When the accounts were frozen, I was among a team of volunteers led by Ma Lokanayaki, Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s own mother. She sat for hours on end, picking through bags of rotting dhal (lentils), painstakingly separating the good lentils from the bad. She was covered in bugs but kept working so that we could all eat.”

July and August 2010 : Under the pressure of the Extremist Hindu Mafia, the Income Tax department re-opened all closed account books of the Temple Trusts, from the day of creation of the various trusts, upto 2010. For the Assessment Years 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10 notice u/s.148 was issued to reopen the assessments and ascertain the anonymous donation within the meaning of Sec.115BBC and charge tax at the maximum marginal rate.

3 Illegal activities of the Income Tax Department Officer ● The assessing officer justified his decision to re-open the assessment by making a huge addition, however, the ld. Commissioner of Income tax (appeals) knocked down all the demands, stating that even the reopening of the assessment is completely against the law. ● It tried to tax temple donations from a trust which was exempted from Tax. ● It tried to tax at the highest possible rate available in the law - maximum marginal rate. The Commissioner of Income tax (appeals) - quashes the evil plan The Commissioner of Income tax (appeals) - CIT(A) - has very clearly mentioned that the assessment reopened is unlawful. The income tax Department’s Appellate authority gives a crucial expert opinion as to the illegality of the attack against the organization’s donations. The most important point to be noted here is that the department did not file any appeal against this order with Income tax Appellate Tribunal and accepted the order of CIT(A).

A bail that harassed, tortured and restricted The FAKE rape accusations against His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, were about to get quashed. The State Police had no intention of closing the FAKE investigation. Keeping the FAKE case perpetually alive was their way of perpetually harassing and torturing His Divine Holiness. The inhumane bail conditions were kept alive perpetually. As long as the investigation continued, which may be for decades, His Divine Holiness’ Human Rights would remain suspended. For example, the court had suspended His Divine Holiness’ fundamental Human Right of Freedom of Speech until the investigation was over. There was no limit to how low the illegal ‘investigation’ could be kept alive. Counsel of His Divine Holiness had to pray to the courts for allowing Him to visit His village to take part in last rites of His grandmother (as can be seen reported in the newspaper clipping here).

17 August 2010: The mastermind S.Gurumurthy - chief strategist for the Hindu extremist forces RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) and BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party), brought Aarthi Rao to make a FAKE rape allegation in the form of “a witness-statement” (through an email to the

State Police!) to the original complaint made by Lenin. Thus the FAKE case was kept alive for almost a decade more!

False cases filed in the United States During 2011, Extremist Hindu Forces, used Douglas MacKellor, a volunteer in the organisation of His Divine Holiness and a fringe element in the conspiracy, to file a series of FAKE complaints and cases in the United States.

Federal Bureau of Investigation First, Douglas submitted fabricated false complaints to the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation). FBI warned Douglas not to show up again with his FAKE documents, and they stopped picking up his calls.

United States Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Then, Douglas made false reports to the U.S. ICE (United States Immigrations and Customs Enforcement) hotline. The U.S. ICE blacklisted Douglas and stopped responding to him.

United States Security Exchange Commission After that Douglas approached the SEC (U.S. Security Exchange Commission), making some FAKE claims about a non-existent entity. The U.S. SEC thoroughly investigated and closed the fake complaint. They stopped returning Douglas’ phone calls where he would try to pressurize them reopen investigation.

Internal Revenue Service Douglas also approached the IRS (Internal Revenue Service), asking them to investigate registered nonprofit organizations of His Divine Holiness in the US. IRS initiate inquiries over the organizations of His Divine Holiness and notified Douglas that his claims were fake and that it had closed the inquiry.

False cases were not accepted legally as there were no evidences Since FBI, ICE, SEC did not budge to Douglas’ undue demands of registering false cases against His Divine Holiness, he tried to file false criminal complaints of rape (with the help of Aarthi Rao) to the California Attorney General. Eventually Aarthi Rao, was penalized $1/2 Million USD for her false public statements. Douglas continued his attacks. Douglas even asked Chief Investigator of the Ohio Attorney General and Attorney General of the U.S. Department of Justice, to unlawfully influence agencies such as the FBI and U.S. ICE, but all of them dismissed Douglas’ false allegations.

Amidst the series of these attacks happening in the US, the people who were in the monasteries, centers and temples in India were attacked by State Police and Mafia.

Physical assault on international volunteers by the CID State Police Throughout 2010, the police, led by DIG (Deputy Inspector General) of CID (Criminal Investigation Department) Charan Reddy and DGP (Director General of Police) and head of CID (Criminal Investigation Department) Guru Prasad made it a customary practice to come and conduct raids in the Bengaluru aadheenam. Charan Reddy and Guru Prasad would unabashedly and inappropriately handle the female monks. They would barge into the dorms of the female Sanyasis (Hindu monks), ruthlessly pulling them out, sexually harassing them and forcing them to file false rape complaints against His Divine Holiness.

24 August 2011 : The State Police Crime Investigation Department Officers barged into the Rishi Sri Nithya Dayananda, an aadheenam unlawfully. When questioned, they international volunteer from twisted the arm of an international volunteer (Rishi Malaysia Nithya Dayananda) as he was recording their unlawful, unauthorised actions on a camera.

Female Monks Seek Justice from Sexual Molestation by Hindu Extremist State-Police-Mafia During the year 2011, female monks sought justice for sexual molestation during the attack by the mafia. The cases are still pending in various courts. No justice has been served yet. Lenin Karuppan (an implant of the Extremist Hindu Mafia) raped two female monks in the monastery. As of 2018, the case is still open in the court of Bangalore - of two rapes and one sexual molestation.

Continuous attacks of Media Mafia result in another Genocidal attack in 2012 2010 to 2011 : The organization was recovering from the losses of the physical attacks which had caused damages worth more than Rs. 200 million. Meanwhile, the Extremist Hindu Media Mafia continued publishing series of defamatory and derogatory articles to instigate mob violence against the monasteries of His Divine Holiness. A leader of the Extremist Hindu BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party), Madan Patel made light-erotic movies to dehumanize His Divine Holiness. Similarly, the television channels of the extremist Hindu Media Mafia kept on airing a series of defamatory videos and content to provoke mob violence against Him and His monasteries. These media attacks materialized as a brutal physical attack in 2012.

Introduction

India is the largest democracy in the world. It runs on five democratic principles including sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic and republic. Not only the largest, Indian democracy is also known to be one of the most successful ones. India Democracy is by the people, to the people for the people.

Throughout the persecution of His Divine Holiness, humanitarian, legal and democratic principles and framework was hijacked by extremists Hindu militants in genocidal attacks by state-police-media-mafia on His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

Millions and crores of public funds were poured into this conspiracy against one man, one saint, His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. The whole public welfare machinery, including public servants, government officials, police forces, paramilitary forces, executive, legislative, administrative and judicial were forced to work against the interests of the people of the country and tirelessly execute religious persecution on His Divine Holiness.

In 2012 alone, in a single genocidal attack, 600 policemen including paramilitary forces, and a sum of Rs. 3 crore ($½ Million USD) of public money was spent in a mere 3 hour time duration, to stage a state-wide ugly presentation of abuse and misuse of power that the extremist run militant state practised over helpless, victimized dehumanized, individuals.

Sequence of Events

1. 02 April 2012 - A Bangalore City Civil Court passed an interim injunction order against 9 media houses including TV9, Suvarna 24x7, Kasthuri, Udaya, Janasri, Public TV, E TV, Samaya 24x7 and News 9 restraining them from exhibiting, broadcasting or telecasting of programmes, reports, clippings or visuals referring to His Divine Holiness in a false or derogatory manner.

2. 03 June 2012 - Suvarna TV channel telecasted ‘Aarthi Rao’, where she claimed being sexually abused for 6 years between 2004 and 2010. The program was telecast once on 3rd June and twice on 4th June. It was followed by a spate of panel discussions and public opinion deliberately planned by Suvarna.

3. 05 June 2012 - Misusing its power *BJP MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar owned Suvarna TV worked tirelessly to incite mob violence against His Divine Holiness. Suvarna brought 20 protesters outside the aadheenam and announced a bigger attack in the coming days. Suvarna TV Channel was already issued a court order not to broadcast defamatory content against His Divine Holiness.

The channel persistently and deliberately kept disobeying the 2nd April 2012 court order and kept airing defamatory content, to incite mob hatred against His Divine Holiness. The Counsel of His Divine Holiness filed a Contempt of Court Petition against the channel, to prevent violent attacks from happening to the aadheenam. (*BJP - Bharatiya Janata Party, MP - Member of Parliament)

4. 07 June 2012 - His Divine Holiness held a press meet in a large hall in the Bengaluru Aadheenam to reveal a clinching evidence about the falsity of the fake rape case foisted on Him. ○ During the press meet, Suvarna Television barged in with its chief editor Ajith Hanumakkanavar and armed henchmen. ○ In an attempt to assassinate His Divine Holiness, Ajith Hanumakkanavar, forced an Anthrax letter bomb on Him. ○ In a resulting commotion, Ajith groped female monks to incite anger from the monks. He then recorded their facial reactions and used it as a justification to get all female monks arrested the next day. ○ Ajith silently noted all monks who were near His Divine Holiness to get them specifically arrested. ○ Mobilized by Ajith, the militants of Karnataka Navanirmana Sene (militant wing of Hindu Extremist forces) attacked all the monastery residents.

○ Seeing the danger, assistants of His Divine Holiness took Him through a different door and they were able to save Him. ○ 7th evening, Karnataka Navanirmana Sene returned as a larger group of 100 armed militants. ■ The militants jumped over the gates, carrying petrol bombs, and guns in their hands. ■ They started chasing aadheenam residents (specially female monks), beating them with wooden and metal rods. ■ They broke the heads of 10 non-violent male monks and residents with large stones. ■ They made obscene gestures, by removing their own clothes, molesting female monks, touching them sexually and inappropriately, and violently tearing the clothes of female monks.

5. 08 June 2012 - 11:00 am - Disciples of His Divine Holiness held a second press meet to convey about the previous day’s brutal attack. The militants of Karnataka Navanirmana Sene re-entered and attacked the residents including children using chairs, tables, metal chains, metal dividers as weapons.

6. 08 June 2012 - 03:00 pm - Ajith came with the State police and identified 16 senior disciples (including female monks whom he himself had groped), who had protected His Divine Holiness with their life, from the attack the previous day. The police unlawfully arrested them without any charges or reasons explained. The militants enjoyed police favor and protection; none of them were arrested.

7. 09 June 2012 - The political wing (BJP) of the Hindu Extremists who attacked, was also the ruling government of the State. The Chief Minister Sadananda Gowda (BJP): - declared His Divine Holiness - ENEMY OF THE STATE - and ordered His immediate arrest and a ‘State take over’ of all His temples. His Divine Holiness had temples in 47 countries. - Used his Power as the head of the State to drive out the residents by illegally enforcing IPC 143 & 144 (Curfew) and Sealing the ashram.

8. 11 June 2012 to 12 June 2012 - The State police, led by the District Commissioner, with a 100-men-battalion bulldozed illegally into the temple-monastery-complex. They did not have any written order or authority. They raided and vandalized the temple thoroughly and sealed the main parts of the monastery arbitrarily. Right to Movement of people and materials in, out or around the aadheenam was denied. The Police harassed the aadheenam residents and bullied the children studying in the gurukul (temple-school). It was

a complete violation of human rights done to instill terror and caused irreparable trauma to aadheenam residents, especially to the children.

9. 13 June 2012 - 04:00 pm - Based on the complaint made by Ajith, a bail petition was filed on behalf of His Divine Holiness. The bail hearing was deliberately adjourned, thus aiding illegal detainment of His Divine Holiness by the Police. His Divine Holiness was detained off-the-grid inside the Police academy building.

10. 14 June 2012 - 05:30 pm - The Counsel of His Divine Holiness proceeded with a successful bail order. Immediately following the bail, a 600-battalion police force was dispatched to illegally detain one single-unarmed-monk - His Divine Holiness. - No charges were framed, no explanations given. The paramilitary Police Force body-lifted His Divine Holiness and illegally detained Him. - The State Abused public money to the tune of Rs. 3 Crore ( $½ Million USD) for parading His Divine Holiness in the streets of the city, showcasing Him as a most wanted terrorist - enemy of the State.

11. 14 June 2012 - 06:30 pm - Disciples filed ‘Habeas Corpus Petition’ fearing that His Divine Holiness maybe murdered and declared missing by the State Police. (Habeas Corpus - literally meaning you have the body - a writ petition to court, seeking relief from an unlawful detention or imprisonment. It is a remedy available to the meekest against the mightiest).

12. 15 June 2012 - His Divine Holiness still in illegal detainment; was not allowed to perform the 2000-year-old unbroken daily religious ritual as the Pontiff of the most ancient monastery in the world (Madurai Aadheenam). Never before, even during the past 2000 years of various invasions of India, this ritualistic worship had stopped.

13. 15 June 2012 - 05:30 pm - Bail granted to His Divine Holiness.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP - political party), Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS - Ideological wing of the Hindu Extremists) were behind the attack The Hindu Extremists had complete control and power in the State of Karnataka (India) ● The State and the Police - were controlled by the ruling party - Bharatiya Janata Party - BJP - the political wing of the Hindu Extremist forces. ● The mainstream media - Suvarna Television Channel - is owned by Rajeev Chandrasekhar, a prominent leader of Bharatiya Janata Party as Member of Parliament (Central Government). ● The militants and mafia - Karnataka Navnirman Sene - are headed by VHP - Vishwa Hindu Parishad - the militant wing of the Hindu extremist forces.

S Gurumurthy - The chief strategist commanding the Hindu Extremist Forces S Gurumurthy is the chief strategist for the mother organization RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) which is the ideological wing of the Hindu Extremist Forces. S.Gurumurthy mentored Rajeev Chandrasekhar (billionaire media baron, owner of Suvarna Television Channel). Gurumurthy had bailed out Rajeev of the severe financial crisis that Rajeev’s companies were embroiled in. Rajeev gave S.Gurumurthy his trusted men such as Ajith Hanumakkanavar to execute the persecution.

S.Gurumurthy operated the false rape accuser - Aarthi Rao, through his agent Kalyan Raman. S Gurumurthy operated the Suvarna Television Channel through Ajith and Rajeev to air an exclusive series of malicious interviews with “false rape accuser” Aarthi Rao for defaming His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

BHARATIYA JANATA PARTY (BJP) is an extremist Hindu political party. They have a ‘single ideology’ which they force on every part of the society. It manages all other groups such as Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) as its nationalist organization. RSS enrolls, brainwashes and militates people with nationalist topics, and transfers them to Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal to realize anti-social, militant and terrorist activities such as stealing properties, riots, mob lynching, kidnapping, poisoning and murdering people. These terrorist activities are focused on minority groups of India. RSS members like Nathuram Godse carried out assassination of Peace Ambassadors like Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi).

07 June 2012: The Press Meet Hijacked - Attack 1 Why the Press Meet was called

It was the day when the US Court had finally ordered the University of Michigan Hospitals to send the medical records of false rape accuser Aarthi Rao to the Indian police through the Indian Courts. The medical records were a clinching evidence to prove the innocence of His Divine Holiness, as they would reveal Aarthi Rao’s 4 highly contagious and incurable Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), (variations of Genital Herpes, or or Herpes 2) which His Divine Holiness has never had. She claimed over 40 instances of rape, whereas the disease is so contagious that it spreads even through saliva to the partner! As His Divine Holiness never had any such disease, it directly proved His innocence. To share this information, a Press meet was convened Aarthi Rao’s medical reports showing a at the Bengaluru Aadheenam that very decade long history of sexually day. transmitted diseases such as Herpes Simplex.

Lest they are exposed they wanted to kill Him The medical records of Aarthi Rao, revealing her HIV and Herpes disease, exposed the falsity of her rape allegations. The case was bound to collapse and would start a chain reaction of confessions, where all the players who conspired in the false case would be exposed. All the big names would be out ● Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief strategist S Gurumurthy ● Billionaire media baron, Member of Parliament of India, and head of Suvarna Television Network - Rajeev Chandrashekar. ● State Police DIG CID (Deputy Inspector General - Crime Investigation Department) Charan Reddy. ● Last but not the least, Sadananda Gowda, chief minister of Karnataka

Suvarna Channel enters the Press Meet On the very day, Ajit, the chief editor of Suvarna Television channel, barged into the press meet, with disguised militants.

How Extremist Hindu Militants and Media-Mafia justified genocide for 3 decades The justification of mob lynching and attacks on minorities given by the media mafia since past three decades in the South Indian States of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu - (1) shortage of water in the State (2) the ethnic minorities did not speak the primary language of the State.

● 1991 : Hindu Extremist Militants murder 18 dark skinned humans of minority community (Ref: 5 January 1992 - "Target of riots in Southern India" - The New York Times) ● 2016 : Hindu Extremists Media-mafia justify instigating violence ● 2018 : 3 decades no justice to families of the murdered ● 2018 : 3 decades no solution to water crisis problem of the state which was used to justify violence. ● Assassins silently occupy land and property of the ones they killed.

In 2016 : As per their own admission, to a national news and media website (firstpost.com), the editors and journalists of the Suvarna TV media-mafia claimed guilt, openly acknowledging their role in inciting mob violence. They justified their acts, blaming other channels to have started it.

12 Sept 2016 - Extremist Hindu Militants vandalise vehicles(Source: ANI/Twitter)

Suvarna Television Media-Mafia occupied the first row with a planned multi-level agenda:

● Assassinate His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. ● Divert public attention from the topic of the press release that proved the innocence of His Divine Holiness. ● Create huge chaos and public hate to justify the mob lynching attacks and propaganda to persecute His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. ● Criminally intimidate Paramahamsa Nithyananda, His followers and His minority group keeping them in perpetual insecurity and life threat to push them out of the State of Karnataka. ● Generate enough hate propaganda nationwide so that once “exiled” from the State of Karnataka His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda would not be accepted anywhere in India by branding Him as an anti-social criminal.

Anthrax Letter Bomb - A direct life-attack Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbdDZ1wFuHA&feature=youtu.be

(Left) Ajith forcing himself into the aadheenam by showing his powerful position as the head of Rajeev Chandrasekhar owned Suvarna TV Channel. (Right) Ajith about to deliver the Anthrax Letter Bomb posing it as a court summons.

The press conference started. His Divine Holiness Himself started answering questions from the press, producing necessary documents. As He was answering, Ajith started advancing towards Him with a suspicious-looking package. Sensing danger to His life, the disciples of His Divine Holiness moved swiftly and stopped Ajit right on time.

Ajith and his henchmen started a ruckus and kept trying to push the package and throw it at His Divine Holiness. Sensing danger, the Sanyasis (monks) did not allow anybody to go near Him. Ajith groped female monks to incite anger from the monks.

Female sanyasi (monk) stopping sexual advance of Ajith as he tries to grope her.

“Ajith and his henchmen grope the female monks. (Hand inappropriately touching the female monks encircled in red)”

Female monk blocking the hand of a media-henchman from hitting her.

Witnessing that his co-media-henchman’s hand was blocked, another one of them, hits the female monk on her head.

“After groping female monks, the media took snaps of their angry faces and filed police complaints against victim female monks.”

Ajith then recorded their facial reactions and used it as a justification to get His Divine Holiness and His female monks arrested. Meanwhile, the other media-men started filming. Not that they were going to report the persecution, they were only gaining footage to flash with their own lies as narrations.

Seeing the danger, assistants of His Divine Holiness took Him through a different door and exited the hall, and they were able to save Him.

Finally, the disciples seized the package, and handed it over to one of the secretaries of His Divine Holiness - Sri Nithya Atmapujananda Swami. Sri Nithya Atmapujananda Swami went to his office with the package. No sooner did he open the cover, the letter bomb exploded on him. A white dust spread all over. Not able to understand what it was and feeling dizzy, Sri Nithya Atmapujananda Swami drank some water and fainted.

Meanwhile, Ajith and his henchmen left the campus.

07 June 2012: A murderous genocide follows - Attack 2 On the same day evening, Karnataka Navanirmana Sene returned as a larger group of 50 armed militants. Suvarna channel sent its OB (outside broadcasting) van to attack and live-capture the criminal atrocities and to stage it as a persisting “law and order situation” around His Divine Holiness.

The militants quickly climbed over the gates and landed inside fully armed with dreaded weapons like chains, knuckles, rods and guns.

Following describe the extreme violence, bloodshed and life attacks, all done to hunt down and assassinate His Divine Holiness.

● They mercilessly chased and gang-attacked each weaponless Sanyasi ● They inflicted near-fatal blows with iron rods and smashed huge stones on their heads, while repeatedly shouting, “Get out of Karnataka or else we will kill you!” ● They made obscene gestures, by removing their own clothes ● They ran after female monks, sexually assaulted them, touching them, groping them, dragging them by their hair and tearing their saffron sarees. ● They threw petrol bombs as they kept advancing inside the monastery. ● One of the bombs fell on the library, which housed books and ancient non-reproducible palm leaf manuscripts.

The entire attack was a direct violation of the fundamental human right to life, liberty and security of person as per the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 3).

The Genocide survivors Over 100 residents of the monastery endured multiple injuries and needed immediate medical attention. Much of their traumas remain as the untold stories of the genocidal attack on peaceful humans.

A savage bloodbath - Sri Nithya Atmaprabhananda Chief administrator Sri Nithya Atmaprabhananda was at the gate when the assassins entered. Four of them knocked him to ground and jumped on him. Each one grabbed either one of his hand and a leg. The fifth person smashed a heavy stone on his head. His head broke with a 3-cm-deep cut, till his bone; blood streamed down his face and body profusely. The media sadistically streamed live the ghastly scene. The assassins even obstructed his ambulance, delaying the emergency medical attention.

He was rushed to the emergency ward of the hospital where he underwent a life-saving head surgery with 33 stitches administered. He was in the ICU (intensive care unit) and it took him a few months for a complete recovery. His wife and young son were completely devastated at the near-death survival.

Until his recovery, the regular administration work in the aadheenam was severely affected.

He received merciless blows and sustained heavy injuries. The attack left an everlasting impression on him. For every single resident, the mercenary mob had a group of life attackers, trying to kill them on the sacred soil of love and peace.

08 June 2012: A second press meet and brutal attack - Attack 3

The murderous attack of the previous evening had to be told to the people. On 8th of June 2012, at 11 am, the disciples called for another press meet. No sooner did they commence the meet than a few disguised Karnataka Navanirman Sene elements stood up demanding Kannada language from the disciples in spite of a running Kannada translation already in place. From the “planned” meagre demand, they quickly moved to a verbal tussle and physical assault in no time.

The next day disciples gave a second press meet to talk about the huge attack that happened the previous day. All the male disciples on stage were beaten and female disciples were molested by the Karnataka Navanirman Sene who had barged in. All the women on stage were treated like prostitutes and dragged to the police station, by the Karnataka State Police.

Another ruthless attack ensued on the residents. The attackers savagely picked up any object they found to kill the residents - the metal line dividers and furniture. After causing enough physical assault, bloodshed and abuse, they left the monastery with shouts of criminal threat to the residents - “Tell your Nithyananda to leave Karnataka! Run away from here, else the next time, you will not be alive...”

The media filmed and broadcasted the attack with the “Big Lie.”

Truth

The aadheenam was attacked by extremist militants - Karnataka Navanirman Sene, and the media henchmen of Rajeev Chandrasekhar who owned Suvarna TV Channel.

The “Big Lie” Propaganda Technique “Big Lie” aired by Suvarna TV Channel and other A big lie (German: große Lüge) is a propaganda media-channels 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 Entire State of Karnataka was someone "could have the impudence to distort the suffering a “Law and Order truth so infamously". Reich Minister of Propaganda of situation” because of Nazi Germany, Joseph Goebbels the Propaganda Paramahamsa Nithyananda. minister, consolidated the Big Lie Propaganda Therefore he needs to be technique as, “The essential English leadership secret arrested and jailed. 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.”

Police complaints were given by the aadheenam residents, but no police-action taken against the militant tyranny. It was the most painful for the disciples to go through every attack with no action from the police. It meant that their life was open to attack any time, and not worthy of protection.

It was not a ‘Law and Order crisis’, it was an Attack

The Strategy of ‘Law and Order crisis’ The masterplan of the State-sponsored multi-pronged attack

Maintaining Law and Order (L&O) is the primary ‘uncompromising’ responsibility of any government for public safety and peace. Anyone accused of breaching L&O, is deemed an enemy to the State and threat to public safety. Such persons are denounced by the citizens, and in legal course can be imprisoned as a high-risk for the public, State, and even the nation. The penalties for L&O related issues are stricter and include higher severity punishments with longer terms than for other crimes.

The State-Media-Mafia nexus, employed the “Law and Order crisis” provisions and wielded it to extreme convolution, twisting it’s application to eliminate His Divine Holiness.

The Executioners and their roles

● The MEDIA TRIGGERED paranoia (Ajith holding an illicit package and advancing towards His Divine Holiness in a press meet that turned out to be the deadly Anthrax bomb and that permanently scarred the monk who opened it.)

● The MILITANT MAFIA ATTACKED the residents, and the resulting physical struggles and bloodshed was broadcasted to the world as “A Law and Order situation”. By its very definition, a “law and order situation” should affect public peace. But here, not only His Divine Holiness and His community residents were not disrupting any public peace, they were the ACTUAL

VICTIMS of the criminal attacks in their private property, and needed protection! It was not a “law and order” situation caused by His Divine Holiness, but a “genocidal attack” on His Divine Holiness and His disciples by the media-mafia!

This attack by the media-mafia was projected as a Law and Order situation around His Divine Holiness. Multiple such attacks were ensured. The media broadcasted these attacks every time as a severe “Law and Order situation”. Thus the strategy of dehumanising His Divine Holiness as a “Law and Order disrupting criminal” was ESTABLISHED.

● Once established, the STATE ILLEGALLY DETAINED His Divine Holiness through a series of unlawful actions and orders.

08 June 2012: 16 victims arrested, attackers were left scott-free - Attack 4 The attacker who planted the bomb, claims to be victim The next leg of the multi-pronged attack was already in motion. Ajith Hanumakkanavar “had a complaint filed” in the local police station against His Divine Holiness and residents of the Aadheenam (monastery community). Ajit claimed that his belly was slapped and he was told to leave the premises; he feared that his office could be visited by the monks, so they should be arrested!

THE TRUTH: Not a finger touched Ajith in ‘his’ whole planned attack during the press meet. And ofcourse, the second charge, even Ajith knew was meaningless. The Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka had subsequently (In Feb 2013) quashed his complaint saying, “it was an abuse of the process of the court”.

The illegal mass arrest At 3.00 pm the same day (8th of June 2012), while the residents were still recovering from the morning attack, oblivious to the FAKE complaint filed by Ajith against them, Ajith barged into the aadheenam gates with the police escorting him. He identified to the police, 16 Sanyasis and devotees who had protected His Divine Holiness with their lives during the previous day’s attack. It included the female sanyasis (monks) whom Ajith himself had groped. All 16 of them who were actually victims, were meticulously hunted down inside the aadheenam and arrested by the “law-enforcing” police as “accused” in the FAKE complaint filed by Ajith.

One media reporter could not have had such a clout over the State machinery. It was a bigger hand - S.Gurumurthy who had instructed his party members in the State government to execute the atrocities.

the police arrested the victims instead of the In the 48-hour attack, attackers. No action was taken on the multiple complaints filed by the victims either.

Crimes of the State Police

● The State Police grilled the victims Ajith had chosen. ● The Police rejected any complaint by the victims including the complaint for the anthrax bomb attack. ● They refused to accept the complaints of the female monks of sexual molestation by Ajith and his henchmen. ● Instead they criminally pressurised the female monks to file a false rape complaint against Paramahamsa Nithyananda. ● They reminded them that the state Police DIG (Deputy Inspector General, Crime Investigation Department) D.V. Guruprasad had himself offered monetary compensation for those filing the rape false charges. The monks were helpless .

(29 March 2010) The headline says - “Paisa feko, tamasha dekho”. The literal meaning is, “Throw money, and watch the drama show.” It implies: bribe the fake witnesses and enjoy the fake trial. On 8th June 2012, during illegal detainment and interrogation of the female monks, the Bidadi Police reminded them that they could be rewarded with monetary compensation if they gave a false complaint.

Ajith had planted an Anthrax letter bomb to kill His Divine Holiness and also had molested female monks to divert attention.

Ma Nithya Bhaktikananda Swami a senior Sanyasi recalls the moments of illegal arrest:

“I was on stage for the second press meet that happened on 8th of June 2012 at the Bengaluru Aadheenam. Inside the meditation hall, the Karnataka Navanirman Sene elements were sitting and we did not know. They had hidden their yellow scarves and entered the hall. They just like that Ma Nithya Bhaktikananda Swami started a row out of nothing. They were so rough Shocked after witnessing Police and tough and we were so unassuming and Atrocities. righteous.

It was such a gross mismatch. I have seen such scenes only in movies. They were simply beating us for more than an hour before leaving the campus. We couldn’t come to terms with what was happening to us. What right had they to enter and break our hard-earned things? What right they had over our life? And what had we done to them? Nothing! How can one television channel reporter Ajith have so much hate against us? It was of monstrous proportions. At around 3 pm, I was sitting in the front part of the meditation hall and working on my laptop while the campus was being restored. The police was still in the campus. Residents and volunteers started restoring the meditation hall, putting things back in its place and removing the damaged items. Suddenly a police officer walked towards me. He called me to go with him. I closed my laptop and naively followed him, thinking he was taking me to identify the miscreants of the attacks. He took me to a waiting van. A lady officer clicked my photograph and gestured to get into the van. There, I saw a few of the residents already sitting. I asked them what was going on. They

did not know.

Soon, a few more residents joined us. And the van started. The van went for internal rounds inside the Aadheenam picking more residents, who simply left what they were doing and boarded the van like me. The van left the campus. We had no clue what was happening, where they were taking us, what was their agenda….etc. On the way, we suddenly started getting the feeling that we were being arrested. It became an unspoken undercurrent feeling amidst most of us. We were almost sure of it by the time we reached the police station.

We got off at the police station and were held in custody! 16 of us! We were the victims but they were arresting us! Who complained? It was Ajith of Suvarna Television. So he attacked us the previous day and filed a complaint against us immediately! It was all pre-planned! We could not believe to what extent a persecution could be stretched. Ajith came to the police station and interacted briefly with the policemen. They seemed to know each other well. We later came to know that Ajith had actually identified 16 of us who were seen prominently protecting Swamiji and given instructions to arrest us against his fake complaint which had Swamiji also in it even though Swamiji was not even present on the scene!

It was the most shameful thing that the perpetrator of the crime was pointing at us and the police was following his “instructions”. Ajith’s case was later quashed by the Court with a severe reprimand of him for having filed such a baseless complaint. But we had to go through the persecution before it was quashed the following year.”

They cheer and share stories with each other how they physically assaulted the males and sexually molested the female aadheenam residents and yet no action was taken on them. The State Police gave them complete protection while they carried out their acts of perverted violence and finally succeeded in getting disciples of His Divine Holiness arrested.

09 June 2012: Persecution by the State: Attack 5 Chief Minister Moves State Machinery For Genocide On 9th June 2012, the Chief Minister of the State, Sadananda Gowda used the justification propaganda created by the Hindu Extremist Media (Suvarna Television) for the next level of the 48-hour genocidal attack. The entire government machinery was mobilized to zero-in and destroy their target - His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

Chief Minister (CM) Announced State Takeover of Temple Monastery and Arrest of His Divine Holiness

(Below is transcript of the public statement of The Chief Minister (CM) of The State of Karnataka - Sadananda Gowda (a member of the Hindu Extremist Political Party - BJP - Bharatiya Janata Party)

CM ordered District Administrator to work out plans to seize the temple land “About 2 days back, the government had ordered the district administration to come up with a detailed report, with regarding to the present situation in and around the premises of Nithyananda Ashram in Bidadi.”

CM ordered Regional Commissioner to use a heavy hand “Today we received the report, and the law minister, the home minister and the district minister, along with the officers had a detailed discussions, and we decided to hold a high level enquiry headed by the regional commissioner to look into the matter in detail.”

CM ordered the State Police to seize temple assets and property “(We gave instructions) To the district administration and the Superintendent of police, Ramanagara to search the premises and draw a mahazar (a list of items in the property with drawings before carrying a raid) and take possession of the ashram property and see that law and order is maintained in the locality.”

CM ordered immediate body-arrest of His Divine Holiness at any cost! “Thirdly, we have asked the home department to see the bail applications. The bail already issued to Nithyananda Swamiji should be cancelled. For that reason, legal action should be taken immediately. Hope, finally the arrest of Nithyananda should be done as early as possible. Speedy mechanism should be opted for this purpose.”

“Speedy mechanism” - the State-sponsored Atrocity The State, on the Chief Minister’s order, mobilized a 600-battalion Police force, and fueled in Rs. 3 crore ($ ½ Million USD) for the unlawful body-arrest and parade of His Divine Holiness throughout the Bangalore city - the Silicon Valley of India to project Him “as a criminal”.

HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE HOW THEY PERSECUTED

How a fair Legal Process and How it was done against His Divine Investigation is done Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda

Complaint is filed by the victim Illegal detainment of the victim (His against the accused and police action Divine Holiness) by unlawful is taken cancellation of His bail.

Police carries out an investigation and The detention is done first, and then collects evidences before any orders are given to raid His detention temple-monastery in the “hope” to find or “cook-up” some material to legitimize the illegal detainment!

Police Interrogate witnesses (only if Police pressurize women in His they are related to the complaint), Divine Holiness’ community to give without pressuring them to give any false statements against Him. biased or false statements.

Only on being sufficiently convinced Knowing well there is no substance or

by the evidences as per law, the evidence against the accused, the police files a chargesheet against the State desperately creates material to accused. file a chargesheet to persecute Him.

In the case of a fake complaint, the The false case is still kept “alive” by case is dropped to stop abuse of false evidences, fake witnesses, and State machinery for personal twisting and suppressing facts. vendetta.

The State doesn’t abuse its power in The BJP led State of Karnataka the process, given by the democratic carried out several atrocities on the constitution. The use of discretion is community: only for the purpose of delivering ● Seized temple jewellery (worn justice and not for carrying out by deities) illegally and never personal vendetta and vengeance returned it. against an individual or a community. ● Abused the children of the community. ● Raided the temple and sealed it. ● Threatened the peaceful community, hurling life-threats demanding them to flee the State or die. ● 600-battalion-police is dispatched to parade His Divine Holiness throughout the City, spending Rs. 3 crore ($ ½ Million USD) of public taxpayer money.

Only if required, the State Police Even after His Divine Holiness carries out detention with a proper obtained the bail, the State breaks all warrant and following the process of laws and kidnaps Him to an illegal law. “off-the-grid detention”, far from the reach of law, to assassinate Him. They feed Him poisoned food during illegal detainment.

Following a court trial (only if During this decade long “unfair trial” required), appropriate legal action is against His Divine Holiness, always taken against the accused or the the evidences and witnesses in favor complainant. of Him are suppressed in an attempt to somehow arrest and assassinate Him.

What does it mean to draw a Mahazar “The seizure of goods, documents and items have to be done as per Section 110 of the Customs Act, which says, a Mahazar has to be drawn. Mahazar is a drawing of a location and an inventory list of goods seized”. The Chief Minister ‘unlawfully’ ordered seizure of all temple goods and creation of mahazar of deities (temple idols) and temple jewelleries (worn by deities).

Search, Seize, Seal and Enforce Curfew 11th, 12th June 2012: State Police Seizes temple property, Seals the Monastery, Enforces Curfew, Displacing Hundreds of Residents On 9th June the Chief Minister had “illegally” ordered ● Search and Seize temple property (arbitrary and illegal) ● Seal the aadheenam (arbitrary and illegal) ● Enforce Curfew (illegally enforced)

11 June 2012 : Police conduct a raid; search and seize temple property and enforce SEAL Following the CM’s instruction (of 9th June 2012), on 11th June 2012, the State Police entered the Aadheenam led by the Superintendent of Police Anupam Agarwal with at least 100 IPS officers and officers from several Government departments such as Revenue, District Administration etc.

Sri Nithya Advaitananda, the principal of the Gurukul (school) recalls, “The whole operation was illegal! We were victims of multiple malicious attacks and were just

recuperating. And here, was the next attack in another form: a raid….to search what?! We are an Aadheenam, a temple-monastery, raising consciousness of human beings! What will they find here?! Truly, I felt most violated at having to accompany them on the “raid” inside the campus. And a raid triggered not by the course of any law but “planned” by malicious persecutors! It was the most frustrating, arbitrary and inhuman treatment that should not be given to any citizen, leave alone a Hindu incarnation!”

“All the containers were opened, all the rooms were searched. They finally went to the sacred Banyan tree area behind the temple. The Banyan tree is a mystical tree and energy hub of the entire Aadheenam. It is not meant to be violated in any form. I was shocked when they started digging under the tree in a location. They were digging as if trillions of Rupees would come out of the ground! I was shocked beyond words. They dug and ofcourse did not find anything.

They completed the search and seize operations and took away material that was never returned to us. It was sheer “justified” daylight robbery.

After seizure, they went around and sealed many metal containers and main parts of the Aadheenam like the welcome center, the administrative office and the accounts office. In those containers we had stored our basic departmental items such as temple items, published books, housekeeping related items, temple ritual items (vibhuti, kumkum, chandan ...) etc. The seal jeopardised our fundamental temple operations. We could not digest that we were 1) attacked 2) nearly killed 3) arrested 4) raided and now our main operational buildings sealed!

The entire illegal raid and seizure was presented in the mainstream-media as if a host of great criminal activities had been going on and the officers were there to discover all of that. However, none of the 100 officers who raided, bothered to give a statement to the media to clarify that they raided but could not find any trace of any kind of illegal activity in the sacred temple monastery.”

Ma Nithya Advaitananda (Principal of Gurukul) recalls, “The police came as scavengers, plundering and sealing our Gurukul…..It was a rude shock for the children… they were traumatized beyond repair, even today when they see anyone with a police uniform, they shiver and weep! Nothing was safe! We were not even through the ordeal of attack by the Suvarna TV mob, and here the police, who were supposed to protect the children were searching the Gurukul and disgustingly throwing away the school supplies! I ran every minute to safeguard the security of the children, as they shed hot tears seeing their place of study sealed.

What is the law in illegally sealing the Gurukul where we are creating the divine children, who will lead and serve humanity with truth and love?

They abused and attacked the innocent children - they closed all access to bring basic needs for the children.

My heart felt weak as I ran to get basic food for the children. Some of the children needed immediate medical care and we could not even get medicines! They denied us the basic human needs - to get any supplies inside the aadheenam. Which lawkeeper will do this? It was killing us, keeping us as their hostages in the name of protection and curfew.

Sri Nithya Ambananda Swami (Chief Priest at the temple) recalls, “WE didn’t even have a matchbox to light the aarthi lamp for Nithyanandeshwara and Nithyanandeshwari (presiding deities of the the Bengaluru Aadheenam).”

The Temple Monastery Community of Bengaluru Aadheenam under Siege by the State Police

Superintendent of State Police, Anupam Agarwal supervises the temple-raid.

Administrative units of the temple monastery complex illegally SEALED

Curfew (Indian Penal Code - IPC 144) imposed

What is Unlawful assembly and Curfew Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) of 1973 empowers an executive magistrate to prohibit an assembly of more than four persons in an area. According to Sections 141-149 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the maximum punishment for engaging in rioting is rigorous imprisonment for 3 years and/or fine. Every member of an unlawful assembly can be held responsible for a crime committed by the group. Obstructing an officer trying to disperse an unlawful assembly may attract further punishment.

These sections cannot be imposed on private property and is only applicable to public places.

Illegal Curfew (IPC 144) Imposed - Right to life denied The most draconian imposition of force was the slapping of the Section IPC 144 on the entire Bengaluru Aadheenam and its residents. It meant: not more than four residents could even stand and talk to each other anywhere! This imposition included not assembling for daily puja (ritualistic worship) inside their own temple on their own private property. The fundamental human rights of the residents to practice their religion and live freely was denied.

The residents were stunned by the 144 ruling…

Ma Nithya Bhaktikananda Swami recalls, “It took at least 48 hours for all the residents to understand the strange ruling in place. It literally meant, a family of five could not sit together and talk in their own house! Firstly, for the residents, it was not an instruction from "Swamiji", so they did not take it seriously. We had to explain to them that it was a rule imposed by the State of Karnataka and it had to be followed. They were stunned. A dozen questions were asked about the ruling and its basis. When we explained to them that the whole thing was being illegally done, they were felt so suffocated and pained. For a community that "lived" in congregation, the ruling was like snatching away the source of life itself. They kept asking us what harm their innocent congregation would do to anyone. There was only one answer to ALL their questions: ‘Everything is being done illegally to us’. No other answer."

Right to movement of people and materials - denied Right to movement of people and materials, in or out of the ashram was denied - leaving the residents resourceless and hopeless for basic food and living necessities.

Children abused and harassed by the State Police They probed, harrassed and interrogated the residents including the children studying in the Gurukul (temple school).

Arbitrary and Illegal - No written order was given to neither authorizing the raid nor for the sealing of the aadheenam. The imposition of Section 143, 144 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). This was a completely illegal operation that not only violated the human rights, but instilled terror and irreparable trauma to residents and especially the children.

CRIMES OF THE STATE POLICE - Section 144 of the IPC cannot be applied to a private property. The State Police illegally applied it to the Aadheenam, which is a private property. - The Chief Minister abused his power as the head of the State to drive out and displace ‘the victim’ residents by illegally enforcing IPC 144 (Curfew) and Sealing the ashram (which was so grossly illegal, that they did not even mention the section which they wanted to impose).

13 June 2012: State executes a “foxy” second arrest - Attack 6 A planned delay for arrest For the FAKE complaint filed by Suvarna TV Channel chief Ajith (on 8th June 2012), the Counsel of His Divine Holiness filed for bail, which is His undeniable right. The bail petition came for court hearing. For a fabricated offence and that too bailable, surprisingly, it was “adjourned” to the next day, deliberately leaving it open for the “pre-planned” arrest of His Divine Holiness.

The State police wielded an age-old persecution weapon called “protective custody” where, beyond judicial control or judicial review, the accused is held illegally and tortured; not in a normal prison but in a remote location chosen by the police. It is an “off-the-grid operation” to intentionally isolate and kill the accused.

This was the technique used by the Nazis to mass-kill the jews in the Holocaust of World war II. They were kept under “protective-custody” not in normal prisons but in concentration camps where they were made to languish to death. In the case of his Divine Holiness, the police kept His Divine Holiness not in a normal cell but at an unknown location with no food or water and continuous life threat. The worst nightmares came alive for the disciples, trying to fathom where and what was happening to their Beloved Guru.

Religious rights ridiculed His Divine Holiness, as per His religious duties as the 293rd pontiff of the Madurai Aadheenam (most ancient traditional monastery), could eat only after offering His daily worship to the traditional Shiva linga deity - an unbroken tradition for 2000 years. He could not even drink water until then.

The Police in their heady power, ridiculed and denied His Divine Holiness from his religious worship, and refused to give him His deity. United Nations Declaration of Human Rights - Article 18 empowers humans to freedom of religion, however the police had no humanity.
