BENGALURU: Tamil Nadu police is likely to transfer the sex video case of godman  Nithyananda Swami to Karnataka in a day or two.

 

Police in Chennai, where cases of cheating and obscenity were filed against the 32-year-old guru were filed, have indicated to the Karnataka police that cases would be transferred after consultations with Tamil Nadu Director General of Police Letika Saran.

 

The main charge has been filed by Karuppa Lenin, a former Nithyananda devotee, who has alleged that the Swami was sexually exploiting devotees at the Bidadi ashram, near Bengaluru.

 

Tamil Nadu police may escort Lenin to Bengaluru as he fears for his life.

 

Lenin has sought police protection, saying Nithyananda and his supporters were out to kill him.

 

The allegations against the Swami have been denied by associates of the Bidadi ashram.

 

They have alleged that Nithyananda had been framed and that he would soon come out to clear the air.

 

Nithyananda was not coming out n the public due to security reasons, according to Swami Sachidananda, the spokesperson of Nithyananda Dhyanapeetm.

 

Meanwhile, former President of the Advocates’ Association, KN Subba Reddy  in Bengaluru has filed a petition in the High court to restrict TV channels from airing the controversial sex video showing Nithyananda in bed with a Tamil actress.

 

In his petition, he gas named the actress as Ranjitha

 

Ranjitha has said there was nothing to feel guilty and that her friendship with Swami was "her offer and service to the Swami".

 

"Media is unnecessarily blowing the issue. I know Swamiji for past few years and my association with him is transparent. As a true devotee I offered my service like feeding food and massaging him regularly in his personal room" she said.

 

The state chief secretary, police commissioner and the association of Broadcasting Company Private Limited have been listed  as respondents by Reddy.

 

Reddy said the video was illegal and should not be aired.

 

Children and teenagers, who had watched the repeated telecast of visuals, were misled into believing wrong things, the petitioner said, adding that the visuals had embarrassed the public.

Off course the act done by Mr. Nintyana is against religious faith. But, sexual act between man and women with mutual consent is legal valid. Who asked you to believe swamijis like this fellows.

First the "great" swami is just 32 years old. He has amassed a lot of divinity and wisdom in that short lifespan. If the acress is giving him "massage" he must be like the ex-governor of AP (Tiwari?) very old in physique requiring massage by a young acress in the buff. There used to be several swamis in the past hailing from India and setting up shop in the US---Rajnesh was one, there was a boy guru who set up shop in Denver and a few others. They all had posh life. Nityananda was happy I guess.

It is strange how media twists facts, specially some anti-Hindu media such as Mid-Day, and Times of India. There are lakhs of people all over the world who take massages every day, including all sports people. It is easier to pick on Hindu gurus than Muslim priests, and hence Hindus should stop patronizing such biased media! Congress's strategy of maligning Hindu gurus to please Muslims is well known. If you search old records, Congress has filed wrong cases against Hindu gurus, which were never

I was not a bhakt of Swamiji before but after knowing about his kamakalakriti I started doing bit of research about him and found various videos in you tube. There is lot to learn from this genius enlightened mater. Even though he said the same things like other swamiji's tell like famous osho's sayings match, still Paramahamsa is different. I pity for Ranjitha who got caught and also for not switching the lights early. But guess'g she would had got the enlightening flow so might be happy too

Truth must be acceptable....no way to avoid it or give thousand of reason.Anyway what has happen is already happen,so don't blame Ranjeetha or the Nityananda.There is a limit for blame both of them but leave it to god judgement ok

TV is more culprit than the swami. showing bedroom scenes in the news should be a punishable crime. Even mother and father do not touch each other in front of small kids. What is media doing is completely wrong. If at all Swami wants to marry her let him do. Still there could be followers if he is doing good things to the society. Every sage had wife in our literature. That is not a crime. Showing it on TV in the prime news time is an offence to the society.

It is a good opportunity. We have started a new Spa Massage packaged named Nityananda. The other one is called Ranjitha Sugandha. Meditation is great and all should see this as a way of enlightenment. I am looking for Gurus like Ranjita.

Firstly, media cannot air anything until everything proved legally. Just because they have media in their hands, they cannot take authority on their own. On receiving such video, why did not they hand it over to law and order to resolve the issue. Those guys immediately telecasting such contents creates poison on the yonger minds about our tradition. In my view, nithyananda is not wrong. Media telecasted it has done a blunder for current & future generations. Not sure of their motive behind it

Thanks to K N Subba Reddy.People may even burn Krishna & Radha's Vrindavana Ashram! In India it is sin to be divine & child like.! devils want to establish their rights on every acres of land on this earth.It would be sin if a divine teacher is having 21 acres of land. Guru- in which subject? Focus on the subject rather than inruding the privacy & personal love life of a teacher.In India it is difficult to digest the meaning of the words like Guru, Swami(Lord) CONCEPT OF GOD & adwaitha philosop

WHy does this man want money for teaching people about our own religion? All the swami's int he world should either be doing this out of their heart and not wanting soemthing back form society. He is 32 and has crores and crores of money. Then couldn't any young man read a few books a bout religion and decide to start leading this fake lifestyle and earn a lot of money? ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN. SO WE DONT HAVE FURTHER CON ARTISTSTS.. thank u

Ranjitha has come out and said she was giving 'swami' an oil massage. so now it is quite clear that it was her and swami in the bedroom. So people around the world can stop saying it is a conspiracvy when the actress itself has said its her. In the video she is not seen just giving a massage, they are both making out, rolling around int he bed. He should be punished for doing what he did. Sure he taught people about hinduism and meditation, but he is not the first.

The actress herself is admitting that she massages the guru. But that leads to something more .and it is clearly shown in the video. I am not bothered if this guy goes with one woman or 100 women -but he should not claim that he is next to god. He can as a decent swami an ordinary man give lectures but not say he has a healing touch, can cure people and next to god. He having sex with the woman is not illegal or wrong but what he stands for is something and is doing something else behind.

has swamy nityananda ever told that he dont have lust and zeal, NO. then why are u blaming our beloved swamy, infact he was experiencing this woman to learn more about the feelings of the married women.after all fucking is an inevitable KRIYA of any MANUSHYA, one cant live without fucking, our swamy did noting wrong, think once with a broad mind and comment on this issue. Nithya andanda was trying to feel the anandam of the life

The individual has rights, as rights are meant for citizenry and not for ideologies, like Hindu/Budhist/Christian etc. An individual has every right to 'follow' or "belief" in Nithyananda. Nithyananda has every right follow/practice "Vairagya" or "Shringara". It is his life and his mission to do it, as far as he is not infriging the right of others. If society expect and demand that Nithyananda should not change his way of live, it shows the social malaise that is prevailing here.

I feel a mis interpretation of spirituality here.We all know and aware that sex with mutual conscience is not illegal.I fail to understand where in our rich vedic tradition sex is kept away from the journey towards truth?It was none other than Krishna who taught the whole world through his life that spirituality is not deniel of anything but accepting everything intensily w/o attachementThe video pictures only love not hatred.Violence are aired everyday in media.Stop those first.

Why are you all finding fault with Ranjitha, as usual a woman has to take the blame , and the man can get away with everything and anything. This man , self proclaimed paramahamsa , who has centers all over the world conducting meditation classes for $300 per person , could not heal his own tension , did he require Ranjitha to release his tension. Is he not fake and phony , cheating the western public to gain all the dollars and to dress him self like a Maharaja while giving the discourses.

This scandal video cast about Swami Nithyananda and the actress Ranjitha should not be aired in the first place. There are millions of devotees worshiping and millions against him. If at all Swami Nithyananda and actress Ranjitha has had sex, its not a wrong thing to do. Do you ever think a person some one like Swami Nithyananda would be laking knowledge about spy cams and such accessory gadgets. Obviously he would be that most vigilant person to avoid such mis-happenings.

In Hinduism, "Purana Kathai" history, Vishvamithirar a sage who was in his prayer room with a beautiful woman have lost his control, therefore this event not be ignored. Money can do anything even prove this video is fake. The authenticity of this Video should be proved and the actress Ranjitha and Swamiji should be punished for cheating the public in the name of religion . Public should not be cheated in this way.
