38 2010-05-06 The New Indian Express negatively stereotypes Hindu Spiritual Leaders and denounces Sanatana Hindu Dharma After months of poisonous defamation by the media mafia on His Divine Holiness, The New Indian Express goes on to ‘incite hatred’, intolerance and ethical discrimination against Hindu Gurus. It categorically declares the intended result: the illegitimization of Sanatana Hindu Dharma and negatively stereotyping the Hindu Spiritual Leaders (Gurus) in Hindu community across the globe. 06 May 2010: A yellow journalist of The New Indian Express writes an article ​ dehumanizing His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. It is not a coincidence ​ to see several atrocious articles against His Divine Holiness come out on The Indian Express. It must be recalled that The Indian Express is not just another newspaper. The Indian Express is one of the main mediums that S. Gurumurthy used to dehumanize and persecute His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Yellow journalist Vasanth Kannabiran uses a perverted lies to incite ​ hatred and justifies the inhumane treatment and human rights violation on Him. - Media repeatedly peddled the obvious falsehoods – denying the systematic persecution of Hindu Gurus; discarding their spiritual legitimacy to program that they are unworthy of the reverence from the Hindu community. - This slanderous article weaves several themes to demonize Hinduism and Hindu Gurus. Fact What was written in What it wants reader to news article believe - faulty generalization Lord Hanuman is highly Lord Hanuman wears The author justifies it’s revered deity in Sanatana underwear atrocious content claiming Hindu Dharma that because of the fabricated footage of His 39 Lord Ganesha, the Lord Ganesha wears Divine Holiness, society worshipped Hindu deity son pantyhose will stop respecting of Lord Shiva Hanuman and Ganesh due to faulty generalization. A fabricated obscene video Vasanth Kannabiran Therefore treatment of His was made to attack His compares His Divine Divine Holiness worse than Divine Holiness Holiness to terrorist and a terrorist is justified. Paramahamsa Nithyananda cricket match fixer. In reference to the fake video released on March 2, 2010, the Kannabiran begins the article by questioning, “Why should swamis be forced to be celibate? Were Nithyananda’s human rights to pursue sexual activity with a consenting adult and his right to privacy not being violated?” The yellow journalist Kannabiran diverts the attention of the reader from noticing Human Rights Violation of His Divine Holiness by torture in prison to claiming that His Divine Nithyananda’s only human rights which was violated was right to have engage sex by consent. It plays down the entire happening and dismisses it as a case of “Ganesha wearing pantyhose.” Without any hindrance, the author questions the practice and innermost workings of Sanatana Hindu Dharma, the oldest living group of religions on planet Earth. Without any effort to learn and express the correct terminology and science behind the practice, New Indian Express reporter throws misleading doubts against His Divine Holiness and what He stands for. FACTS - His Divine Holiness has been a celibate since childhood. - Celibacy is the vital practice of brahmacharya, which means, "live like God" beyond the hormonal needs. The author introduces His Divine Holiness as someone who assumes, “the garb of sanyasis (monks) which implies both celibacy and renunciation of worldly values and then proceeds to abuse women”. With these exact vulgar words, the reporter makes drastic generalizations based on completely false claims: FALSE CLAIMS ● abusing several women and several rape accusers. 40 ● citing a fictitious non-existent disclosure agreement that was never signed by His Divine Holiness or any real person dead or alive. ● making false claims that His Divine Holiness evaded taxes - which was a rumor completely fabricated by the media. Finally, as a take-away from the entire article Kannabiran states, “We need to understand that greed, violence, hate and insecurity that cloud our minds cannot be dispelled by these creatures who sell god as a commodity to be conjured up by a few magic tricks” ● Stating, “He could be a IPL chief or terrorist” they painted His Divine Holiness as a public enemy, thus justifying His third degree torture in prison ● Creating images such as “Hanuman in underwear and Ganesha in pantyhose” to make a point is unnecessary gross abusal. ● Kannabiran thoroughly dehumanizes His Divine Holiness and his hard work for the spiritual and material enrichment of humanity, by diminishing Him as a “creature” and His work as a “magic trick”. FACTS: - In this subtle and poisonous way, The New Indian Express created destructive faulty generalizations to incite hatred against His Divine Holiness. ​ ​ - Allowing such abuse and fear-mongering to go unchecked is a violation of constitutional rights. - No logic or reason comes in the picture. The intolerance this type of media breeds is something to be afraid of. - This is a clear violation of Article 11 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights under the United Nations - all persons are innocent until proven guilty; to crucify a man publicly without evidence is beyond morally wrong. It is equal to silently accepting a genocide in making. This also violates Articles 2 and 7, which secures that all humans have equal rights under the law, regardless of race, religion or belief. 41 New Indian Express, 6 May 2010: After months of obscene coverage, the New Indian Express dehumanizes His Divine Holiness 2010-12-10 Conspirator Poses as Victim in a Ploy to Attack His Divine Holiness Lenin Karuppan, the implant of Hindu extremist groups, claims that a group of 15-20 female sanyasis (monks) were a threat to His life at a press conference, creating more justification propaganda against His Divine Holiness. The truth shows a cunning ploy to accuse and assassinate through poisonous defamation. 10 December 2010 - Disciples and devotees of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda heard that the conspirator Lenin Karuppan, was holding a press meet in Bangalore. This article claims numerous blatant lies. 42 FALSE CLAIM BY MEDIA: The article states that the press conference was interrupted ​ by 15-20 devotees, which included women and that Lenin stated that this incident, “proves there was a threat to his life” and “he is not safe….” FACT: ● A press meet can be attended by anybody. Disciples of His Holiness went to the press meet to hear what is being told to the press first hand instead of reading it in the papers later. ● A group of 15 female monks with one or two men were stopped from even entering the press conference and yet Lenin accuses that his life was threatened by this. ● When they arrived at the gates of the press club, they were denied entry. Without a bit of resistance, they turned around and started quietly walking back. How can a group of peaceful female monks (sanyasis) be a life threat to this Lenin? In fact, the police handled them very stiffly and forced them to leave for no reason! The disciples walking into the Press Meet is deliberately portrayed as some attack! Innocent readers who are clueless about what actually happened will be programmed to believe this lie and demonize His Divine Holiness and His disciples, while conveniently ignoring the real life attacks done against His Divine Holiness. This articles exposes the sinister design by Hindu Militant extremists to dethrone, deprive or dispose the Hindu community from their last bastions (the Gurus who strongly defend and uphold the Sanatana Hindu Dharma). The article elaborates on the lies that Lenin has claimed: ● FALSE CLAIM: Article claims that Lenin alleges that His Divine Holiness used to beat his disciples with a stick. FACT: This never happened. In an spiritual organization that attracts thousands of followers every year from all over the world, there has not been any case of violence or inhuman activity ever spoken of. In a world of social media and instant communications, how can any uncivil activity stay hidden where several thousand people congregate? Only Lenin out of many thousands has accused this in years; while rest of the world celebrates visiting and residing at the Aaadhenam (temple monastery). Thousands of people worldwide have only shared their extraordinary experiences of healing and transformation done by His Divine Holiness. 43 ● FALSE CLAIM: Lenin claimed that these cases were filed against him to psychologically attack him to make him withdraw the case he filed against His Divine Holiness. FACT: Today, Lenin is a convicted rapist, habitual offender and money scammer while his case against His Divine Holiness remains utterly unsubstantiated. POISONOUS DEFAMATION ● This was a Justification Propaganda to poisonously defame His Divine Holiness further by demeaning His disciples. ● Hindu Gurus and their disciples have been slandered, thrown into jail and maligned to death, time and again. ● The hate propaganda against Enlightened Hindu Gurus and their disciples widely deterred masses towards universal spirituality propagated in Sanatana Hindu Dharma. For a supposedly credible newspaper to publish such deceitful articles is the evidence of their co-conspiracy with criminals like convicted rapist, Lenin. They attacked the dignity of His Divine Holiness and his disciples as declared in Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by United Nations. 44 Deccan chronicle, 9th December 2010: The conspirator Lenin puts baseless claims on ​ His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda and His devotees 45 2011-07-15 Scientific Recordings for well being rebuked as a ‘con, comedy and repulsive show’ Mainstream Media When the media was invited by His Divine Holiness on the sacred day of Guru Purnima (Hindu festival that reveres spiritual master) to witness the live scientific recording and research of ‘Activation of parts of the human brain through initiation into the ancient spiritual technique of kundalini awakening and Levitation’ (anti-gravity), they misrepresented it as a ‘con, comedy and repulsive show’ .
