Over 400 devotees of Paramahamsa Nithyananda observed a peaceful protest at Maduravayil in Chennai on 30th July, to express their anguish at the misrepresentation and abuse of their guru and the organization.
Devotees and supporters of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, including ashramites, brahmacharis, sannyasis and sannyasinis, householders and city organizers gathered on the Bangalore Highway in Maduravayil, chanting the moola guru mantra and bearing placards expressing their opinions. In keeping with their guru's appeal to maintain peace, ahimsa and a compassionate approach towards all,the protest was peacful and non-violent.
A flood of emotion and devotion was in the air, as the supporters of Paramahamsa Nithyananda came out in large numbers and spoke out about the recent events which have tarnished the name of Paramahamsa Nithyananda and his organization. Describing his guru as ‘The brightest promise for Hinduism today’, a devotee Sri Ramanathan observed that the smear campaign against Paramahamsa Nithyananda was an abuse of the sacred Vedic tradition which the young guru upholds.
A sannyasini of the ashram, Ma Nithya Preetananda, also observed that it is each person’s right to follow the faith and lifestyle of their choice, and said that the disrespect suffered by the sannyasinis of the Nithyananda order has been a direct disrespect of the sannyas parampara.
The protest, which drew the attention of the public as well as the media, was aimed at raising general awareness about the untold side of the Nithyananda saga and the unwarranted religious persecution undergone by Paramahamsa Nithyananda and his organization in recent months.

Experience Living Enlightenment Process through Satsang Centers
Why Satsangs?
satsangatve nissangatvam, nissangatve nirmohatvam ,
nirmohatve nischalatattvam, nishchalatatve jeevanmukthi
It means, when we are in the presence of a man who lives in zero Thoughts Per Second (TPS), in good company, (satsangatve), we become nissanga, our restlessness comes down and we are free of attachments. When restlessness reduces, intelligence is active, the mind is clear and we become free from the bondage and clutches of desire (nirmohatvam). We then reach nishchalatatva, which is a pure stillness of the mind, and finally, jeevanmukthi or enlightenment – Adi Sankaracharya
A Master is present only 33% in his physical body. Another 33% of his presence is in his sangha (mission). And the remaining 33% of his presence is in his dhamma (teachings).
Satsang is a beautiful way of being in the living presence of the Master - being in the sangha and imbibing the dhamma.

Latest News : Swami Nithyananda seeks ex-disciple's prosecution
Bangalore, July 1 (PTI) Swami Nithyananda today moved an application before the Karnataka High Court praying for prosecuting his former disciple K Lenin, accusing him of filing a "false" complaint that he had indulged in sleaze activities.
Nithyananda, facing rape and other criminal charges filed against him based on Lenin's complaint, sought a direction to the police to file an FIR against Lenin for providing them with "false" information.
The self-styled godman was recently released on bail after 53 days of judicial custody.Lenin had claimed to have shot the video footage, aired by TV channels, purportedly showing Nithyananda in a compromising position with an actress.
In his petition, Nithyananda submitted that the conduct of Lenin was an offence under section 182 of the IPC. "He has provided false information to police investigators which he knows and believes is false and intends to cause injury and annoyance to the petitioner.
He, therefore deserves to be prosecuted for the wrong done by him to the judicial system in general and the petitioner in particular," he said."These actions, therefore need to be dealt with appropriate prosecution by the state authorities," he said.
Claiming that the CD was "nothing but a fabrication done by Lenin with the help of his known and unknown accomplices", Nithyananda said Lenin "had recorded the alleged scene and telecast it on March 3, 2010 with the deliberate and malicious intention of outraging the religious feelings of the Hindus, in the world at large and the class of citizens who follow the religious sect initiated by the petitioner.
"The prosecution has overlooked this aspect and was carried away by media publicity and did not take any action to "arrest the outrage" at the initial stage itself, by invoking powers under the Code of Criminal Procedure, he contended.Nithyananda argued that the registration of case under section 295 (A) of IPC (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class) against him, his arrest "without preliminary inquiry" and continued incarceration was "nothing but an abuse of the process of law, violating the Fundamental Guarantees of Article 21.
"After hearing the submission by counsel for the petitioner, Justice Arali Nagaraj adjourned the hearing to July 15 and directed the Investigating Officer K N Yogappa of the CID Police to be present with all the material pertaining to the case.

Women Devotees want to go back to Swami Nithyananda
“We are going back to Swami Nithyananda’s Bidadi Ashram in Bangalore of our own free will to perform spiritual service. Please, do not take cognisance of any false complaint filed by our parents either against us or Parahamsar Nithyanandar or other ashramites…” So goes a written plea of two Kanyakumari sisters to City Police Commissioner T Rajendran, whom they met here on Wednesday.
In the petition, S Krishneswari alias Nithyapreethananda (29) and S Chitreswari alias Nithyapravanananda (28), both postgraduates in Economics, said they joined Swami Nithyananda’s ashram in Bidadi with the written consent of their father Sivabalan and mother Lakshmi in 2006. The two of them passed several courses conducted by the ashram where they served as ‘brahmacharinis’.
“Our father had immense respect for our guru Paramahamsar Nithyananda and visited us often at the ashram,” the petition said. “However, when false charges were made against the Swami in March last, our father took us home.”
The sisters, who are PhD scholars, alleged that their parents tried to convert them and also made efforts to get them married. They refused to comply and escaped to their uncle Viswaroopananda’s house on Appar Swami Kovil Street in Mylapore here.
The two said they were preparing to return to Bidadi Ashram in Bangalore, but that their parents have threatened to lodge a police complaint of kidnapping against Swami Nithyananda’s men and have them and the Swami arrested.
Asserting that they were going to the ashram of their own free will, without any coercion or provocation, the sisters appealed to the CoP not to heed any false complaint filed by their parents against Swami Nithyananda or them. Asked about the sex tape showing the Swami in a compromising position with an actress, they said the video was fake and expressed confidence that he would be proved innocent in the case.
The sisters said there were about 300 women in the ashram and those who were married lived with their families. © Copyright 2008 ExpressBuzz http://expressbuzz.com/cities/chennai/women-devotees-want-to-go-back-to-nithyananda/185986.html
