	<title>Comments for NITHYANANDA SCANDAL: The True Story</title>

	<description>In March 2010, Swami Nithyananda was charged of many crimes that he never committed. Dozens of false allegations were thrown at him and he was framed as a fraud, without even a victim or a witness. This site attempts to present an unbiased view of the scandal. It offers a collection of neutral press and TV reports, voices of those who have benefited from Nithyananda, direct announcements from the Dhyanapeetam Ashram and the true side of the story, many a times left untold.</description>

		<description>All the Great Masters down the ages have been persecuted and attacked, Christ was crucified! And it was always by the religious heads or socio-political brass whose power and authority were threatened by the  mass followings drawn by the charisma of The Masters.
India&#039;s greatest heritage is its spirituality, the Sanatana Dharma, eternally vibrant Truth, preserved and transmitted through the ages by the great line of Masters.
Paramahansa Nithyananda as his title signifies is truly a Great Master 
taken birth at this crucial time leading up to 2012 and The SHIFT to the Spiritual Dimension in accordance to the Divine Plan. It explains his meteoric rise at such a young age and within a few years of starting preaching, he was able to draw hundreds of thousands of followers, bringing about sweeping change and transformation that was both visible and palpable. The attack of the &#039;Dark Forces&#039; opposing change was thereforwe inevitable and should have been expected. A perverted society and an irresponsible News Media made sensational broadcast of the sex scandal video, whose sudden appearance out of the blue gave indication of a planned attack.
Within the short span of 2 months Swamiji has been released and the ban on preaching lifted. With the Guru Poornima celebrations on July 25th all activities will be resumed with renewed fervour and vigour. The Divine Plan will not be thwarted! 
The &#039;Life Divine&#039; was heralded by the Great Masters, whom I served, Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, who taught the Yoga of Transformation and brought down into the Earth&#039;s atmosphere in 1956 the &#039;Supramental Consciousness&#039; opening the spiritual dimension to any sincere aspirant.
I was happily serving as a sadhak of the Sri Aurobindo Society for the last 12 years but have also been subjected to an attack of the Dark Forces and unjustifiably dismissed in 2009. Swamiji came on his first visit to Pondicherry just at that crucial time for Kalpatru Darshan, which is how I made contact and followed the NSP programme that he conducted in Salem in Feb of that year. It was a memorable experience.

It was a long time in the happening. Little did I imagine that Swamiji would himself be subjected to an attack and subsequent release before long. But when it did happen I understood immediately and was confident he would come through triumphant...
My place in the Aurobindo ashram is also assured without a doubt but I have important work to be seen through in Malaysia for now. There is no greater joy than working for the Divine.

&quot;The ascent to the Divine Life is the human journey, the Work of works, the acceptable Sacrifice. This alone is man&#039;s real business in the world, and the justification of his existence, without which he would be only an insect crawling among other ephemerl insects...&quot;
                                                       Sri Aurobindo

In Their Light and service,

		<description>WHEN you consider the political hue and colour of men and women in power now favouring the crushing of minorities, and stopping with ferocity the spreading of our wings, forcing alien civilisation and sowing those seeds in the Hindu lands poisoning them, what else we can do than await for a Divine help to bring the most needed change in those cercles of power. we are so afraid that even writing frankly becomes difficult and we have to employ complicated vocabulary and enigmatic codes to pass our message !</description>

		<description>Personnaly, I think if someone prevents a generous man from giving food to poor people or if he prevents someone from giving frre education to poor children or if someone prevents another suffering human being to benefit from free medical assistance or if someone prevents a old man to get a shelter and food or if somone breaks a couple and seperate its members or if he steals food , house, clothes and all material things from another human being or steal all his money, even those terrible sinners who merit severe punishments pescribed by law can have some way to escape from hell but those who prevent needy people from living a joyous interior life by throwing calomny on thier Guru are commiting the worst sin and the worst crime and will have to take birth million times to repay their crime by having to lead the worst and saddest miserable life on earth with no light whatsoever at the end of the tunnel.  Preventing his brother or sister from being happy is , i think , is the worst sin... under any pretext..that pretext may be true or false, we don&#039;t care ..we have met someone who can wipe away our tears and worries and we don&#039;t want a petty man interested in financial gains prevent us from getting that rare chance to quit our depression and climb up to the state of bliss...even a glimpse of bliss, we don&#039;t want to loose because of this or that. we have a rare luck to heve a MASTER like swami NITYANANDA living in the same century and the same time and sharing the same space with us , why should we be prevented from exploiting that chance by a jealous and greedy man ??</description>

		<description>Seems to me there is a real immediate need right now in our Mother Earth and in ourselves for clarity around the issues of Spirituality and Sexuality and that – therefore – this entire socalled ‘scandal’ of Swami Nithyanandas – can be seen in a positive light as the work of Existence – God – Brahman or whatever name we prefer to give to ‘the One without a second’ – to try and focus some conscious light on this whole issue thereby forcing people – all of us who somehow or other are moved by this ‘scandal’ this story or drama – to look into this matter and decide for ourselves just how we feel about ‘spirituality versus sexuality’ – and then for each one of us to stand by and live our own conclusion.

Some people might conclude that Nithyananda cannot possibly be a true Guru and enlightened Master because it seems he is not ‘above’ ordinary lustful behaviour – others would believe that the video might be morphed or that anyhow Swami Nithyananda must have been in a somehow altered state of consciousness and therefore still is ‘pure’ and above lust and duality – stating Krishnas example of having been involved with so many beautiful cowherdwomen yet when He asked the river Yamuna “Yamuna if I am a perfect brahmachari who never even kissed a woman please part” – the river actually parted and he could walk – together with his devotees and cross the ocean – as the proof that a Master can be sexually involved with so many women yet be completely ‘pure and virginlike’.

Still others may feel that it is about time we accept that man can be god and god can be man – that the fusion of God the Spirit and God the Man – the transformation of our own innate human nature with our own innate divine nature should take place NOW – the first step being letting go of all guilt around the issue of sex and all concepts around the issue of how a socalled True Master should or should not behave…

Thank you for this blog and the possibility to express ourselves…

		<description>An innocent man tainted by the Indian Media. SUN tv = Sleazy Unpalatable News TV. Irresponsible reporting wrecks lives. Its time, the media left investigation and punishment to the judiciary. The Indian Media has a lot of growing up to do.</description>
