Sex scandal-hit Indian spiritual guru's Malaysian ashram closed

Kuala Lumpur News.Net
Tuesday 9th March, 2010 (ANI)

An Indian spiritual centre in Kuala Lumpur has been closed after it was revealed that ashram's spiritual guru Swami Paramahamsa Nithyananda was allegedly involved in a sex scandal.

The centre's spokesman claimed that the ashram has ceased operations until "the truth is revealed".

"We made the decision to stop operations for a while following advice from the Malaysia Hindu Sangam," The Star Online quoted him as saying.

Nithyananda landed in trouble after a private Indian TV channel showed him in a compromising position with a Tamil actress.

However, the spokesman said that ashram was only set up to promote the teachings of Nithyananda, and ruled out the swami's involvement in the scandal.

"We do not have the exact number of devotees in Malaysia or healing centres. I believe there are about 400 healers in the country. I was shocked to see the footage. I do not believe that the Swami would have done some
­thing like that," he said.

Meanwhile, devotees have come out in support of the scandal-hit swami.

Bank clerk N. Thirunavukkarasu, 45, said: "Ever since I became a follower of his teachings, I have experienced a lot of positive changes in my life," he said, adding that he met Nithyananda during the latter's visits to Malaysia in 2008 and 2009.

Another follower said he was disappointed that Tamil dailies here only published one-sided reports against Nithyananda.

"One day they are full of praises for him and next they just put him down," Kumar said, adding that he believes the footage could have been doctored. (ANI)

Truth Always Prevails

God is within u. Start searching within u!

Think positive, do good , help needy, do not hurt others.

Remember - u are what u eat and do to others.

If you want to be happy - make others happy. A very simple thinking.

bogus guru...!

This is not the only one. There are many of them. Poeple simply get cheated by their do. Innocence poeple always get cheated. Therefore for a person to be know whether he is a bonefide guru or not and how to select the bone fide guru. It’s show in veda sastra. Guru means what and how he should be recognize. It’s already mention in the veda sastra. People just don’t want to get involve or don’t want to know about the truth from sastra. In this kaliyuga veda sasttra is the only solution to identified the truth. Practically poeple who has no knowledge of sastra. There are suffering in spiritualy, and simply follow the unauthorized bogus guru as a authority.

GOD IS NOT BIOUS

THE TRUTH BOUT GOD IS HE IS NOT SEEKING FOR ANY SPIRITUAL LEADER OR ANY MEDIATOR TO CONNECT US WITH HIM,OUR PRIMARY CALLING IS TO WORSHIP HIM ALONE, EVERY HUMAN BEING GOD CREATED HAS BEEN GIVEN SUPERNATURAL POWER. GOD IS ALWAYS LONGING FOR US TO SEEK HIM SO STOP SEEKING ANOTHER HUMAN CLOTH WITH HOLY GARMENT. IM NOT CONCLUDE HE IS INVOLVE IN THE SCANDAL OR NOT, WAT I KNOW IS NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO JUDGE OR EXPOSE ANYONE PRIVATE LIFE, GODS TEACH US AND ALWAYS PATIENCE WIT US IT IS WE (HUMAN) WHO ARE IMPATIENCE ALWAYS SEEKING ALTERNATIVE WAY TOWARDS SPIRITUAL LIFE, SO GROW UP PEOPLE FOR THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD. STOP MESSING WITH GOD BY WORSHIPING ANOTHER HUMAN BEING WHO COME IN THE NAME OF PEACE HARMONY OR EVEN GODS NAME. PEACE

Guru also is a humanbeing. As we know Bshwamitra was involved with Menka when God Indra was not in favour of the saint to come over to heavan.

Swamijis are not god - realise the fact

If this so called swamiji’s teaching is wrong then we should not follow him, but if the same teaching has done a lot changes within so many people then its only the swamiji’s attitude that is wrong somewhere. He is a normal human who has all desires. The moral of this story is he is not god, so dont worship him. There is god in everyone of us, seek within and you’ll find more happiness than what was given by this swamiji. When the time is bad, no matter who, has to go trough the karma cycle, whether they like it or not.

from here we can

Human

As a child,our parents teach us about our own religion. when we grow, some follows our parents teaching but some deviate and change religion this is any what is FAITH. This is the 21st century the computers does all the answering and people has to be so ignorant and seeks or treat another human as a god or guru. Who give’s that person the title GURU it is self proclaim and supported the followers. Check the record in Europe, England and America how many so called GURU were arrested for sex offences and other criminal activities. Come on my learned friends the temples are there to worship be a good hindu stop believing in GURUS believe in GOD.

Nithyananda cult and fraud

The Cult of Paramahamsa Nithyananda - Spiritual Fraud!
The Brainwashing Cult of Paramahamsa' Nithyananda is a classic case of organized fraud. This cult leader, the so-called Paramahamsa Nithyananda, entraps innocent victims into his web of empire building by using psychological, financial, and quasi-legal methods to obtain finances and a free source of professional labor. Nithyananda has established an illegal immigration racket exploiting his nonprofit religious status in the United States. Nithyananda is very dangerous and should be deported from every single country that Nithyananda has established himself in. His criminal organizations have defrauded individuals, tax payers, and communities of millions of dollars, and his fraudulent 'nonprofit' organizations are known as the Nithyananda Foundation, the Life Bliss Foundation, and the Nithyananda Vedic Temples. Nithyananda lures people in his trap by using spiritual truths, meditation, yoga, and healing energies, and then does a 'bait and switch' approach. What candy is to a pedophile, Vedic Truths are to Nithyananda. Nithyananda’s biggest lure is the promise of enlightenment. By tricking potential followers that he can give enlightenment just by attending expensive programs and donating huge amounts of money, Nithyananda has secured a loyal following who are more than willing to 'live a lie' and to 'spread a lie'. Nithyananda’s crimes amount to collective and organized fraud. Just as a wolf in sheep’s clothing, Nithyananda cloaks his energy as divine source... but actually Nithyananda’s energy seems to be the darkest of tantric power. Close followers will note that most of his stories involve death, graveyards, and ghosts. Not exactly wholesome stuff. Unlike other legitimate missions such as Ramakrishna, etc., none of Mr. Nithyananda’s claims of enlightenment including Nithyananda’s horoscopes, etc. are verified and have been made public. His birth certificate of being born on January 1st is in question. There is absolutely NO transparency with this organization. There is only a legion of enthusiastic followers claiming that all of this is true. Not exactly hard proof. In public, Nithyananda places a humble and holy front with a boyish grin. In private, Nithyananda is abusive and is known to host attractive females (both married and single) alone in his quarters for hours. Nithyananda is not what he seems to be. Imagine this. What if a convicted child molester, rapist, murder, burglar, con artist, and arsonist donned a Santa Clause suit, and then won the confidence of trusting people to have him stay in their homes? This is exactly what Mr. Nithyananda has done on a spiritual level. Mr. Nithyananda’s bag of toys is not only as empty as his promises, it is full of dangerous traps and poison. Nithyananda’s impact on families has been severe. Divorces, financial ruin, broken careers, prolonged hardships, and undue stress have resulted from being involved with Nithyananda. Please take extra caution if approached by any followers of Nithyananda’s organizations, and it is best to avoid Nithyananda altogether.

Acid Test

Looks like lots of people are in confusion about the genuinity of Swamy Nithyananda.
Those who are in doubt about this Person I suggest one simple test. Ask yourself very honestly whether you would send your young wife or sister to this Guru for his blessings when he is alone in a room. Let your conscious tell you whether to trust him or not. If you have the slightest doubt about him deep inside you he is a fake Guru in which case never try to justify him or else you will be misleading others to trust a sex crazy maniac.

He is Human like us

Everyone knows that he is made with flesh and blood like the rest of us and yet when he claims he is God lots of people believe him. They believe him as God by knowing the fact that he is going to toilet like rest of us, getting sick once in a while like rest of us, bleed when injured like rest of us, getting emotional like rest of us. Finally we know with the first hand evidence that he loves a nice blow job like rest of us. Some fools still believe that he is a holy man with devine powers. Pity on you
