While Sitting on Top of Lord Vishnu and Devi Lakshmi, Cult King, 'Paramahamsa' Nithyananda, Serial Deity Sitter, Gets a Golden Dethroning - Plus Return of the Cult Killing Blogs

'Paramahamsa' Nithyananda Tries to Hatch Divinity on His Throne
Hey, there 'Paramahamsa' Nithyananda. Well, we're surprised to see you up and out of bed after every thing that happened to you. That was quite a thrashing you got online this week. Let's recap the week, shall we? First there was that new video "Paramahamsa Nithyananda Gets a YouTube Video Message from Lord Shiva".  Even though you, Sri Nithyananda, got your brainwashed followers to knock this video off of YouTube, it seemed that someone posted it right back up again for everyone to view. Sri Nithyananda, are you losing your divine (as in lower 'd') touch?

And, then out of nowhere, came this picture of you, King 'Paramahamsa' Nithyananda, sitting on your 24K golden throne at your so-called Vedic Temple in Montclair, California:

Wow, look at that. We can clearly see that you had your 24K golden throne made with little images of Lord Ganesha right next to your feet. Please, please, please, promise us, Sri Nithyananda, that you will never allow Swami Medhananda to sit on that throne until his smelly feet are cured. And, it says on the picture, "Lord Ganesha is by his feet, but Lord Vishnu and Devi Lakshmi is on his seat!" Wow, Sri Nithyananda, we probably wouldn't believe that you, keeper of Vedic Truths, in a so-called Vedic Temple would actually have Lord Ganesha right next to your feet, but to have Lord Vishnu and Devi Lakshmi on the seat of your throne... doesn't that mean that you are sitting on top of them!?!  What are you trying to do, there, Sri Nithyananda?  Hatch divinity?

We don't think you, Sri Nithyananda, make a very good mother hen.  (Unless of course, we factor in your singing.  Now that is some very disturbed clucking.)  And, furthermore, we, Sri Nithyananda, hope that the Deities can breath under those circumstances. If we haven't seen directly with our own eye the picture of Lord Vishnu and Devi Lakshmi on the seat of your 24K golden throne, we probably would never believe it.

[Note to readers: there are other Hindu Deities on the seat and on the inner side of the seat of Sri Nithyananda's 24K golden throne. Lord Vishnu and Devi Lakshmi are the Deities that are directly under his seat.]

Sri Nithyananda, can we ask if you bathe before you sit down on top of Lord Vishnu and Devi Lakshmi? Well, the reason we ask is that we know God loves all our body parts equally, but we are certain that God loves it even more when all our body parts are equally clean... especially under those circumstances. And, Sri Nithyananda, we hope that you do not load up on garbanzo beans (chickpeas) before you, ah, shall we say, give another flatulent discourse while sitting on that throne.

Sri Nithyananda, isn't this the famous throne in your Montclair Vedic Temple that one of your volunteers permanently injured himself on while trying to move it? It is oversized and heavy, just kind of like your ego. And, didn't you kind of fudge that throne's value on the customs notice for such a heavy 24K golden object when you imported it into the United States? We wonder if there's a reward for reporting such violations. We have an idea, Sri Nithyananda, why don't you report yourself, so you can collect the reward, and keep it for your self? That ought to help offset  the low attendance for your 'Inner Awakening' program.

Sri Nithyananda, can we ask why you did such a thing? You, know, place pictures of Hindu Gods and Goddesses on your 24K Golden Throne and then sit on them? If that is how you treat Divinity, imagine how you treat your ashramites and ananda sevaks (full time volunteers). Wait a minute, Sri Nithyananda, we remembered that we asked you back in November 2007 why there were pictures of Hindu deities right where you would sit down.  We were a bit puzzled, naturally.  You, Sri Nithyananda said something like:

"A satguru (true Master) is above Hindu Gods, that the Hindu Gods are subservient to the satguru.  That allows me the right to place them on the seat of my throne."

We imagine that you were referring to yourself, Sri Nithyananda, as being the satguru. In this case, we probably would have appreciated you more as being a 'standing' guru.

'Swami' Nithyananda, we think we understand your mindset now.  Just like animals show their superiority and dominance by urinating on things, you, Sri Nithyananda, show your superiority and dominance in the spiritual world not by lifting your leg, but instead by planting your backside firmly on top of Deities, in this case on top of Lord Vishnu and Devi Lakshmi.  And, then, as an extra insult to Hinduism, you let Lord Ganesha gaze at your toes, that is when you decide not to wear shoes inside your own Vedic Temple.  Nice.  Sri Nithyananda, we don't know if this really shows your superiority and dominance at all.  We do know, that with no buts about it, you, Sri Nithyananda, certainly made an *asterisk* of yourself.  After all, Sri Nithyananda, you wouldn't want your former devotees who escaped from you cult to show that they are superior over you in the same manner, would you?

[Note to loyal readers: now, now, please show some restraint.  Sri Nithyananda, as hard as it is to believe sometimes, is only human.  Please wait at least a few weeks before submitting your new YouTube videos.]

Sri Nithyananda, we think you might want to hide this picture we featured in this post. We imagine that if staunch Hindus ever knew you had Lord Vishnu and Devi Lakshmi squarely under your cheek and if they saw your feet dangling next to Lord Ganesha, that all the obstacles just might be removed... for a full-fledged RIOT! (in your honor, of course.) Why if those devout Hindus saw this photo, they probably would no longer think that you are the keeper of Vedic Truths.  Why, they might even say "fraud" and "cult".  Even the rich and influential Hindus that received your Honorary PhD in Hinduism from the Hindu University of America (HUA) might want to return your degree and give you, Sri Nithyananda, the third degree instead. The worst part of it all, Sri Nithyananda, is that all of this uproar that you are not respectful to Hinduism and Vedic Truths just might cut into your revenue stream.  Now, that would really hurt.

Sri Nithyananda, being a cult leader, we know that you probably think that you are above the law, both the legal and karmic varieties, but to be above Hindu Gods and Goddesses, even if it is just by a thin cushion, is well, kind of pushing the limits, even for an 'enlightened' healing master such as yourself. Sri Nithyananda, believe it or not, we actually pray for you that nothing is going to happen to you. What if Lord Vishnu came to life and he was really able to use that weapon, that spinning disc, while you were seated on top of him? We imagine that could cause some serious pain, and might even cause some stains on your 24K Golden Throne. So, Sri Nithyananda, if you ever tried to sell it on eBay, the overall value and winning bid would definitely not be as high.

Sorry to say, 'Paramahamsa' Nithyananda, that was not all the bad news you had this week online. Looks like our friends at Fairy Tales of Paramahamsa Nithyananda did a site redesign, so it will be easier for spiritual seekers to find more embarrassing moments about you. Why we even found a new blog that let's your grandma get in on the act: "Grandma Spanks Paramahamsa Nithyananda".

And, 'Swami' Nithyananda, even your die-hard supporters are beginning to falter. They are now commenting with 'qualifications' and doubt. Don't get us wrong, Sri Nithyananda, they still are brainwashed, but now they seem to have a level of Truth in their remarks. For instance, on YouTube, some comments by a defending spelling champion, trueseeker100001:

so whut if He is nt enlightened..so whut if he is not a God..
At least He has transformed many people s life into a better place and he has done so much to help people out there..
rather than wasting ur time condemning people..y nt u go do sumtjin useful to help the needy~~
[Source: YouTube Video: Nithyananda (A guru who has nothing to do with enlightenment and spirituality)]

And, on that same video, another supporter, nafelll, wrote:

I like him,and it is not a problem when he copies osho or someone else,at some point all of them copy each other,he likes money but i guess everybody like it,c'mon take it easy guys,so many people found relief,give him credit.

'Paramahamsa' Nithyananda, do you realize, that with this type of devotee support, we really don't have to do anything more. Our job might be done. OK, that was a bit premature, but Sri Nithyananda, it is nice to know that we are well on our way to get the Truth out to everyone.

So, Sri Nithyananda, where is all of your online support? We noticed that there has been very few, if any, Tweets on Twitter lately from your supporters. In fact, Swami Medhananda hasn't given a single tweet on his Twitter account since December 4, 2009. Are you giving up on Twitter? If you would like to show us that you're not giving up on Twitter, simply add our Twitter account @auntieNithya to any Twitter Tweets just to let us know that you're still alive and kicking on Twitter.  Otherwise, we'll just assume that you, Sri Nithyananda, are in re-tweet.

But, the best online news, maybe not the best online news for you, 'Paramahamsa' Nithyananda, is the return of our friends at the Wordpress blog, "Debunking Nithyananda and his Teachings with Science".

Here's the URL:

nithyanandacult.wordpress.com

This blog started way back in June of 2009 and had been quiet for about six months. But, now, they are back. This blog is in full bloom and several new posts have come out. They had some of the original classics like:

• "Donations not equal to service charge"
• "Nithyananda Remixing (stealing) cinema songs to get people’s attention"
• "Nithyananda cheating Indian govt by accepting “Kalpatharu” fees of Rs.1000 as donations", etc.

We have to admit, Sri Nithyananda, that 'debunking' blog and a few YouTube videos were huge inspirations for us to get the Truth out with our blog. Perhaps the bloggers at "Debunking Nithyananda and his Teachings with Science" got re-inspired to make you famous, Sri Nithyananda. After all, isn't becoming famous one of the things a Raja Sanyasi (king of renunciants) desires?

Follow your dharma. Use your common sense. Listen to your inner-conscience, and follow the Truth. Come out of this trap, and escape from this fake and fraudulent cult.

Day 62: Sixty-two days have passed since Sri Nithyananda's bloggers of the Parallel Universe of La-La Land have not answered our simple chronological questions. We'll keep on reminding them.

Day 83: Eighty-three days have passed since Sri Nithyananda and his organizations have threatened a baseless lawsuit against us. We'll keep on counting.

Divinity Celebrates Swami Nithyananda's Jayanti (Birthday) with a Mirror Universe of Truth Website

A Birthday Bash or Bashing?: Nithyananda's Fairy Tales through the Mirror of Truth
Hi there Sri Nithyananda. Happy belated jayanti (birthday). Is this the right day to celebrate your birthday?

We know that you advertise January 1, 1978, but we also seen your passport document that says March 13, 1977. So, perhaps we're a few months early, not late. Yes, figuring out your birthday is a mystery of mysteries if you ask us. Perhaps we should just celebrate your 'enlightenment' day, that too lands on January 1, 2000. How convenient. We can watch football and then head down to nearest Life Bliss Center and hear some real creative stories, just like the one that 'gotta' away¹. So, we'll save the jayanti / birthday celebrations for another time.

Hey, Sri Nithyananda, did you know that Existence must have decided to celebrate your jayanti / birthday, we mean 'enlightenment' bash with a special gift? We mean that since you launched the Parallel Universe Blog and the Perpendicular Universe Blog, it seems that you've been blessed with a Mirror Universe of Truth Website. "What!?!" Yes, you heard us right, there, Sri Nithyananda. This is a Mirror Universe of Truth Website. It is not like those mirror universes in Star Trek. This Mirror Universe of Truth Website reflects not what you want the world to believe, but it tells the Truth. "Gribba Gribba!" Oh, we see. Our gruntanese translator said that we might be put into a orbit around some distant universe if we're not careful.

Before, you, Sri Nithyananda, get too upset, let's just place that Mirror Universe of Truth Website out in the open so everyone can see:

nithyatales.webs.com (Will be back soon!)

OK, Sri Nithyananda, we'll try to explain this concept to you as carefully as we can. See, a mirror reflects things as they are. A mirror doesn't bother what 'angle' to cast things, what kind of 'light' it needs to shed on the subject, it just reflects. A mirror is not interested in how much money someone has, what sort of value can they add to build someone's empire, or even what type of service this person would give while, ahem, delivering food to your personal quarters late at night. A mirror just simply reflects the Truth. It doesn't bother about worldly matters.

Sri Nithyananda, do you remember that fairy tale story about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?  Yes, that was a fairy tale that Walt Disney made famous in an animated cartoon. In that fairy tale, there was also this power-hungry old queen that had a big thing about looking youthful and the hottest thing in her kingdom. Does this sound sort of familiar there, Sri Nithyananda? "I am NOT a queen!" Oh, really, Sri Nithyananda? Do you remember the time that you dressed up in a silk sari in Mother's Day 2005 for all of the participants in acharya (teacher) training in Krishnalaya, California? Wow, you were sure a big hit with the ladies. Now we always suspected that you, Sri Nithyananda, wanted to crawl into a silk sari, but we never dreamed that you would actually wear one. Sri Nithyananda, do you remember how you gave a piece of your sari to all the ladies there, but what we really think they wanted was a piece of... perhaps we should write that here. Anyway, they really fell for that that you were just beyond all this he-she thing. Some of the guys at the training program thought that perhaps you, Sri Nithyananda, had become the embodiment of a he-she thing. Oh, well, different perspectives.

And, do you remember, Sri Nithyananda, the Inner Awakening (IA) program in Bidadi, when you came out sporting all of the 24K golden accessories, you know, like earrings and other girlie stuff?  Wow, that was quite some theatrics there, Sri Nithyananda. You even wiggled a little. It was kind of nice to see that you enjoyed all of that 24K gold, even if it was fetishly so. And, you did this all under the cover of being 'Devi' (Divine Goddess). Wow, Sri Nithyananda. After witnessing that, someone might think that you've turned into an imposter. A female imposter, that is. Why you even threatened everyone after your vampish 'Devi Darshan' antics with 'bad karma' unless they 'promise not to tell'. You remember, Sri Nithyananda, you made it as if it was 'our little secret'. Was this part of karmic law? Sri Nithyananda, we think that it might fit under Megan's Law.  Come to think of it, Sri Nithyananda, threatening people not to tell the Truth with bad karma is a bit of drag. In your case, you dressed it in drag. It's still a drag, though. Back to that queen.

Yes, that queen in the fairy tale Snow White had this magical mirror that would tell the Truth about how she was looking old and middle aged. As you can probably relate, the queen wasn't too happy about this. But, what to do? That was the Truth. Hey, Sri Nithyananda, speaking about getting around that middle-aged thing, you know, if you told people that you were not born in 1978, but instead you were born in 1948, then all of your worldly devotees who identify with you as being a material body would think that you really are 'enlightened'. They would say something like, "He looks like he's just in his forties, but really he is in his sixties! He must be 'enlightened'." And, that's all the proof you would need to convince them to donate whatever you need to your empire. We suppose that it might be difficult to go back and restate your birthday, but it's just an idea. After all, you were fairly convincing when you reduced your wandering from nine (9) years to just six (6) years. Even though that still didn't make sense.

Maybe you could still pull it off and say that you had a 'divine re-vision'. Sorry, we digress. In the same way that queen in the fairy tale had a magical mirror that reflected the Truth, you, Sri Nithyananda, now have a new website that also reflects the Truth, you know, the stuff you don't want to hear, but you need to hear, just kind of like the stuff in this blog. And, in that mirror of Truth, the Mirror Universe of Truth Website to be exact, reflects all of your fairy tales perfectly, as they are, as fairy tales.

In this new website, the Truth about all of your fairy tales is presented up front and isn't cluttered with lots of details or jokes that your brainwashed devotees never think are funny. By the way, does seriousness block the agna chakra (third-eye center)? Just a thought, for all of those who don't have time to meditate. Anyway, your devotees can now get the Truth about your fairy tales up front and one clean interface. They no longer have to navigate through all of the blog entries, and they can see your most famous and illogical fairy tales as a one-stop-shop. Just think how easy it will be for your devotees to email other devotees and say that these Truths about your fairy tales are just not true. Why, with a little effort and just the right words, they could stop all the Truths about your fairy tales in just one shot. Will you, Sri Nithyananda, let them give it a try?

One of the great Truths that this website reveals clearly is your Never Never Land fairy tale of your time line. This Mirror Universe of Truth Website illustrates in a graphic visual that you have reached the magical youthfulness of fantasy that even that fairy tale character, Peter Pan, would be jealous of. Here, take a look:

Yes, Sri Nithyananda, this image is small and distorted, unlike the image of yourself, which is huge and distorted.  There's a difference, you know.  If you want to see a clear vision of what your fairy tale of a timetable looks like, you need to go directly to the Fairy Tales of Paramahamsa Nithyananda website to see this beautiful graphic in its full size. (Note, that once you are on this site, you need to click on the image to see the full image.) And, as an extra bonus, the webmaster of that site created an image of what a 'normal' person might experience if he or she had the same events as you, Sri Nithyananda, described in your autobiography. Either way, Sri Nithyananda, the Truth becomes crystal clear and your Fairy Tales become more entertaining. We're sure that there are children around the world who will quickly fall asleep during bedtime once your fairy tales are narrated to them. This will make your fairy tales actually useful. You, Sri Nithyananda, should be happy about that.

nithyatales.webs.com (will be back soon!)

Anyway, Sri Nithyananda, we have to go.  But, we do want to wish you a very happy belated birthday, and many more.... Truths that is.

Nithyananda Starts a New Parallel Universe Blog = Fantasy Land

Nithyananda's Bloggers Claim Cyber La-La Land
Wow, Paramahamsa Nithyananda, do you believe in parallel universes? You know, Sri Nithyananda, just like the sci-fi horror movies where something is truthful exists in the real world but in a parallel plane it becomes lies? Where something that express dharma (righteousness) becomes adharma (unrighteousness)? Where something is based on reality becomes garnished in La-La Land fantasy? Where something that was light and humorous becomes heavy and dull? Where something is written respectfully becomes caste as 'filthy'? "You should never question an 'enlightened' healing master. We work on a different plane." Yes, we agree, with you Sri Nithyananda. You work on different planes. In fact, here's the proof. As everyone knows, our blog is:

nithyananda-cult.blogspot.com

and your new parallel universe blog is:

nithyananda-cult-clarity.blogspot.com

Wow, Sri Nithyananda, looks like you must have admired our friend, Jody Radzik's blog of Guruphiliac. Same skin and everything. Will you be advertising some energy drinks on it too? That might help you collect some money for your charity work and those the free samples of those energy drinks will come in handy when all your sleep deprived ashramites need a pick-me-up.

OK, Sri Nithyananda, we accept that copying is the most sincere form of flattery, and we now officially feel flattered that you took the time and resources to help counter the influences that our blogs have caused and officially recognized that we have some serious questions and they need to be answered. Thanks for the clarity. (On a side note, is Clarity one of your new room-service girls? Did you name your blog after her?)

Sorry, Sri Nithyananda, for the distraction. So, could you, Sri Nithyananda, please answer these simple questions on your parallel universe blog so that we all have a very good idea where you stand and we no longer can guess or speculate? Don't worry, there just simple chronological questions with no tricks up our sleeves, promise. Can you, Sri Nithyananda, and your dedicated blogging team answer these questions:

1. What was the exact day, time, and year you, Sri Nithyananda, were born?
2. When did you finish your public education, e.g. Senior Secondary School (i.w. high school), Standards IX to XII? What year, what grade level, and how old were you?
3. What years (from when to when) did you attend the three-year polytechnic in Engineering? Did you graduate?
4. When did you leave home to start your nine-years of wandering? How old were you and what year was that?
5. Where (exact place) did you reach your final stage of enlightenment that you claimed happened on January 1, 2000?

Sri Nithyananda, answer these questions will be very helpful. We already mentioned some of these issues in a previous post on October 28, 2009, "Do the Math - Nithyananda's Enlightenment Timeline Doesn't Add Up", and well, we know that all true Paramahamsas are embedded in the Truth, so now that you have an official blog to voice your views on our blog, we would like to see a post address these specific, chronological questions. That shouldn't be too hard, unless of course you lied, and then you wouldn't be a true Paramahamsa that can charge all those outrageous prices for your workshop seminars. So, by answering these questions, Sri Nithyananda, your validity and marketing get a boost. And, if we're wrong with any of these calculations, we'll say, "Sorry." Promise.

And, Sri Nithyananda, could you please include the exact time of your birth? We're a bit confused. In your book, The Formless in Form, page 5, you wrote that you were born on 12:32 a.m., January 1, 1978. But in your other book, Glimpses of My Master, Nithyananda, first 'first' (original) edition December 2005 on pages 87-91 that you were born on January 1, 1978 at 0:30 (12:30 a.m.). I know, Sri Nithyananda, we're splitting hairs over just two measly minutes. But, why we really want to know the exact time of your birthday is that we can replicate that astrology chart that you said was done when the astrologers refunded all that cash to your family because they predicted that you would be a bona-fide sanyasi (monk). Since you didn't display this chart anywhere, like the Ramakrishna Mission displays Paramahamsa Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda's astrological chart, we thought we could do the same. That way if anyone had any questions, you could just add a link to our blog and then all their answers about whether or not you were 'the real McCoy' of a Paramahamas would be answered.

OK, Sri Nithyananda, we wait for your replies. In the meantime, we thought we would do a trans-cultural exchange and comment on your commentaries. Don't worry, Sri Nithyananda, we'll give you lots of back links that will help you in your search engine ratings.

Your post: Work IS meditation. Some don't get it!

Our reply: Well, we see that your blogger dude didn't add quote marks around his "a***"stericks, so we accept that we never said anything in that way. Well, thanks for letting us all know how you sell the fact that your slaves are really meditating and not just working all the time. You said that "I am surprised you call yourself an insider and are not aware of the daily meditation, yoga, puja/homa, chanting that all ashramites do." Yes, we are aware. In your LA ashram, not much happening except for work, work, work, and the person that had to start the sparsely attended 'guru pooja' in the morning. In the evening, some will make time (or actually have enough time in their busy schedule) to catch the Nithyananda version of arti at the Montclair Vedic Temple. Our insider experience in Bidadi Ashram, the morning version is usually well attended since there were coupons handed out for attendance. If someone missed the morning Nithya Dhyan Meditation in the morning, then that person got no lunch. Kind of reminded us of pigeons pecking for pellets in an animal experiment. We don't know if this practice is still continued or not.

And, yes, we agree, coming to the Ashram as an ashramite is hard work. Don't expect much sleep. We personally know people who didn't sleep for days at the ashram and one contact even fell asleep while driving the big Nithyananda commercial truck. Luckily, there were not accidents. That could have been the ultimate samadhi for many people.

Your concept of "Work is Meditation" (which we assume you also communicate that work brings 'enlightenment') reminded us of this statement:

Arbeit macht frei

is a German phrase meaning "work brings freedom".  Yes, this statement was adorned on the Nazi Germany concentration camps. Our history books said that era also focused around a charismatic leader who liked to censor any criticism about himself.

And, all of that work being done all of the time without proper rest if done under the wrong leadership, would cause some serious brainwashing. This is the techniques used in lot of cults including Jonestown, Osho, the Mason Family, Shining Path, etc. Why wasn't sleep deprivation one of the techniques that the CIA was using on 'high quality' suspects in Guantanamo that was questioned if it was deemed as torture or not? So, we hope that Sri Nithyananda really has it right and monitors all those ashramites so they do not become mentally instable.

Anyway, I'm glad your blogger was able to write some nice things about getting rid of the fatigue layer by lack of sleep and working, working, working away. I just wander if all that work really is meditation and if they are really doing all of those other things, then why did so many of the ashramites get so bulky? We also have accounts of 'enlightened' followers threatening suicide. That doesn't sound very good to me. But, we're open to your points.

Your post: Incorrect information about Sanyasis on nithyananda-cult.blogspot.com

Our reply: Yes, we took an educated guess of the total of people who were ordained 'sanyasi - first level', you know, the folks wearing orange kavi (strip of holy cloth) cloth. We know that through the years there's been a lot of followers who were ordained on this level and then thought that Sri Nithyananda's brand of 'enlightenment' wasn't for them, so they left. This was particularly true in Nithyananda’s Bidadi Ashram. At one point, Sri Nithyananda got tired of the defection rate, so he made those 'ordained' sanysin (monk) go through a trial basis where they wore yellow (not saffron) kavi (strip of holy cloth) until they were officially 'ordained' and looked like they would stick around.

Some orders like the Ramakrishna Mission usually waits six to eight years before initiating someone into sanyasi (monk), for they want to make sure what person they get. Sri Nithyananda, a man in a hurry, ordained many, and some have actually stayed. Since we don't have access to the Nithyananda Foundation's statistics, we'll gladly post the number of people you want to give us as those who were officially ordained as 'sanysis' (monks). We honestly don't care. Our point then and our point now is that most of these people who were ordained were not qualified due to being married and other society obligations. In LA, there were several married couples that have been separated due to sanyasi (monk) initiation. Some seem very happy with the arrangements, others do not. In one occasion in July 2006, Sri Nithyananda pitted off one spouse against the other during the sanyasi initiation. One spouse wanted to become a senyasi (monk) the other wanted to remain a family life. In front of everyone, Sri Nithyananda constantly questioned the 'hold out' person whether it was 'Yes' or 'No' for that person's spouse to become a sanyasi (monk). If that person answered with 'Yes' there went the family. If that person answered with 'No' then the spouse would be non-forgiving. It was the most 'unspiritual' manipulation demonstration that Sri Nithyananda was abusing his powers and breaking up families. Regardless, we feel that it is wrong to break up families, but we cannot stop you. We'll just point it out, and express our opinion.

Your post: One common question: Why are the courses so highly priced?

Our reply: Your prices seem to be a bit distorted. We don't know how much your charging for the Life Bliss Program these days. At one point, it was $250.00 for the two-day program. Now, you say, "$100.00". OK, we'll accept that. We knew that in 2008 that in the Montclair Vedic Temple that Life Bliss Programs that charged $250.00 were only receiving a few (average around seven) participants. The market did not support the Life Bliss Program at $250.00, so if you dropped the price to $100.00 for the two-day program, that makes sense. After all, this is your 'feeder' introduction program, so it makes sense to do it at a lower costs. The most recent offering of the one-day Kalpataru Program in the U.S. was at $250.00 up from $150.00 which you quoted. That's a huge distortion. Will you then be offering a $100 refund to everyone who paid $250 for this program? That seems fair for over charging the participants. Your figures for accommodations of $60.00 per day is slightly out-of-alignment. If that was a decent hotel room, that would be fair. In actuality, a hanger-sized room of wall-to-wall bunk beds is a human fire hazard masquerading as a 'dorm'. Overcrowded prisons are not that bad. We hope that there are no casualties. The other cost-break-down seems just as distorted. Sri Nithyananda is not operating these courses at a loss. The big pay-off comes when people pledge a yearly 'donation' of ten percent of their gross income. We know that there's a lot of pressure to commit to that at the end of the program. And, the tours conducted, does that include the world famous 'graveyard' tour? We still feel that this is overpriced and just shows the lack of transparency that Nithyananda's organization has.

Your post: Nithyananda Cult Blog - Total Nonsense!

Our reply: My, oh, my. There is a tone on this post. Yikes. That blogger must have not had enough work, we mean meditation, that day. You say that we use 'filthy' language, but we see the 'cr@p' word. Perhaps you meant to write 'carp'? Because something sure smells fishy with Sri Nithyananda's operations. We guess when all else fails, try to discredit the Truths by character assault. Holy red herring. (Another fishy aspect.)

The blooger dude's comments show the commitment to this cult, and we'll respect that as much as we can. We just want to say that we have several contributors who were 'insiders' and know refute these claims. Could we please ask where are the funds for the Shiva Lingams that were promised and people contributed real money towards? And, yes, there's all kinds of pressure to change someone's name to the Nithyananda name especially if someone lives in the ashram. We have in our inbox the ultimatum that anyone receiving a Nithyananda name must change it legally within three months and show proof of this legal change or else the Nithyananda Foundation will take away the name. Just a reminder, six of the original twenty-five 'enlightened' followers have left Sri Nithyananda and no longer think his 'enlightenment' is worthy of his certification. We do give credit to Sri Nithyananda's marketing arm making something so horrible look almost attractive on paper. Bill Gates would be jealous. Oh, yes, the blogger dude wrote, "What's your problem whether he sits on a 24K gold throne or a diamond studded one? What do you know about the rich Vedic tradition...?" Yes, we all know which one of the two words "rich Vedic" Sri Nithyananda has emphasized.

Your Post: Perspectives on cults and the Nithyananda blissful cult-ure

Our reply: Well, it is interesting that you can bring up images of followers under Sri Nithyananda's leadership back to a more simpler and happier lifestyle of people like the Sherpas in Nepal, and the Inuit in Greenland and the Northern Canada. I admit that I do not know much about the Sherpas in Nepal, but I do know that the Divine Mother is big in Nepal, so perhaps She is looking after them and that they are genuinely happy. Perhaps it might be helpful if the blogger talked to Sri Nithyananda Dheera, who we have a lot of respect for. Sri Nithyananda Dheera lived with the Inuit and has some great stories of Inuit domestic violence and alcoholism. Sri Dheera witnessed one the son chasing the elderly parents with a knife in a slow motion-drunken-stupor while threatening to kill them. Regardless, anytime an organization tries to 'bring back' the values of a ‘golden age’ or an utopian society, we smell cult. This is exactly what Jonestown claimed to be doing, and we all know how that ended. Regardless, we appreciate your engaging tone, and we feel that we could better explain why Nithyananda and his organizations is a cult. We look forward to debating this with more depth.

Your post: The futile exercise of judging masters

Our reply: Yes, we are in agreement. It is a futile exercise of judging True masters, and true dharmic practice to expose fake maters who are not only diluting / hijacking the work of True masters, but causing so much pain of breaking up families, robbing people of their idenities, ending careers, causing divorces and separations, swindling people of their savings, etc., and offering preciously little in return, e.g. fake promise for enlightenment.  Understand, this is not spirituality.  This is fraud. Although there are current masters that we don't agree with 100 percent, we don't allow comments that judge these spiritual people. We see that these masters are offering good to society, and we'll just 'let them be'. But those that operate out of deceit and cheat people, we will expose. Just like calling out a wolf in sheep's clothing, Sri Nithyananda and his cult practices need to be exposed. Innocent sheep are being slaughtered and scattered. The work of Sri Nithyananda is not Divine and awareness needs to proliferate before more victims fall into his trap.

We look forward to more posts and honest debate from the parallel universe of nithyananda-cult-clarity.blogspot.com.

Follow your dharma. Use your common sense. Listen to your inner-conscience, and follow the Truth. Come out of this trap, and escape from this fraudulent cult.

Day 21: Twenty-one days have passed since Sri Nithyananda and his organizations have threatened a baseless lawsuit against us. We'll keep on counting.
