In an Update on Paramahamsa Nithyananda and the Alleged Sextape with Two Actresses, Nithya Dharmananda Admits to Having Filmed the Sextape

Nithya Dharmananda also known as Lenin Karuppan, a former aide and disciple to Swami Nithyananda confessed on Sunday morning to having filmed the sextape between Swami Nithyananda and two as yet unnamed women (although there has been speculation that the women are actresses Ranjitha or Ragasudha). He also stated that he was the one who distributed the tapes to the print and TV media before the tape was aired on SUN TV.

When Nithya Dharmananda confessed, the Chennai police booked a fresh case against the spiritual guru and decided to transfer the case to Karnataka.

“Special teams have been formed to secure Swami Nithyananda for further investigation. But for the charge of criminal intimidation and cheating, most part of the offences seems to have occurred in the ashram. The case will be transferred to Karnataka. We are ready to provide all assistance to the Bangalore police,” Commissioner of Police T. Rajendran said on Saturday.

Nithya Dharmananda Accuses Swami Nithyananda of a Serious Crime

Nithya Dharmananda has shocked Swami Nithyananda's followers by accusing the guru of exploiting his women devotees by 'forcing them in to compromising positions with him'. He reportedly also handed over a recording of other occasions involving Swami Nithyananda and other women in what is described as 'raunchy bedroom scenes'.

Lenin Karuppan states that when he joined the Swami's ashram in 2006 he found Nithyananda "misbehaving with innocent women" and said he would describe these women as gopis. Nithya Dharmananda said that due to these events, some women stopped coming to the ashram and one woman allegedly tried to commit suicide over what happened to her.

Dharmananda Says Swami Nithyananda Met With Actress Ranjitha Before

Before he filmed the tape that was shown on TV in December 2009, Nithya Dharmananda says that he often found the actress Ranjitha and Nithyananda together and as he felt so let down by his spiritual leader he decided to film them together.

He told police on Saturday as well that Nithyananda had threatened to kill him just a few weeks ago as he suspected Lenin of secretly taping him. Lenin said he escaped by saying he had to go to the bathroom.

Lenin asked the police to save the innocent “masses” from the clutches of “Nithyananda”, who had blatantly betrayed their trust, according to the complaint.

society must be blamed for such incidence that of sexual predator Nityananda. Instead of living with family in peaceful loving manner. Everyone is after accumulation of more and more power, position, status, knowledge, money, respectability. In this mad rush mind get deteriorated and infected with mental diseas of contradiction, confusion, fear, envy, violence, lose of sleep, anxieties. To find solution for such mental diseas, they run after so called Gurus for help, for their blessings, for solace. In return such scam so called Gurus exploit them financially and women sexually. Such scam Gurus are intelligent, cunning, good orator, expert in spiritual knowledge and can easily impress stupid mass full of fear and take advantage of them. Now such people hate such Gurus but main question is why do they follow such Gurus ?

Why is the media keen only on reporting every news against Paramahamsa Nithyananda?  Is the media verifying everything? Why should the media take the word of one useless person against 100s who have been at the Ashram and have progressed in every way. Most people are generally well qualified people with positive exposure to life who have joined  the ashram voluntarily because it was a beautiful place bubbling with positive energy where one and all felt safe.

1. Calling a person "useless" comes from an ignorant, angry and defiant mind which denies the possibility of actually having to admit that it made a mistake in judgement. 2. How do you know you progressed? You can never know who progressed, including yourself as it is subjective. 3. As long as you are under the assumption you are progressing and bubbling with positive energy you are cheating yourself. 4. Feeling safe is obviously NOT true as one woman (or more) have stated. 5. Subtle manipulation is what you were subjected to. Be happy it's done with.

Did not mean to recommend this - a pile of unsubstantiated accusations by anonymous people, some of whom claim to be former 'insiders." I could say I'm a former insider of anything and slam it from here to kingdom come. As someone who's lived on the ashram for months, I can say this blog is a pack of lies based on some wild imaginations.

What is your concern of what is substantiated and what is not? Your concern oughta be with yourself. For example: What brought you to the ashram? What the heck were you looking for that you can't find in your own self? The entire "Guru' Delusion is a mirroring game. A projection from you onto another person who - most likely - cannot fullfill it. Nithyananda isn't any different. Projecting your imagery onto a "Nythyananda" or "Ramakrishna" is gonna kick your butt. Might as well get a mirror and look into it. It does the same job without the hassle :) LOL... He only exists as Guru because you make him into one. Stop the projection and the Guru is gone. EY? VERY, VERY! simple.

Hey guys,What is really ugly to me is his behavior on this video. He looks like an average couch potato pig that has no grace whatsoever. He definitely doesn't look like the holy man. I don't even care about the girl being around. Just look at the way he behaves and eats, etc. Just like a pig. I'm very happy not to be religious in any shape or form. If I was a follower of this guy I'd be most likely upset.This is my 5 cents on the issue

This is not about whether it is a crime, science or "whatever". In the current age (better known as Kali Yuga) few things are prohibited because it requires extremely high standards. One of those things is living the life of a Sannyasi (renouncer). And, the title Paramahamsa is only given to the highest Sannyasi or Yogi who does not desire any form of material wealth or life for any reason. His life is fully devoted to God and God WILL provide. An international example of a Sannyasi is perhaps Jesus Christ as depicted in the Bible. A Sannyasi is a symbol of "detachment". However, one can be a Guru or a preceptor, whoever, that also DOES NOT include any acts of adultery or fornification. A Guru or preceptor MUST adhere to all standards of religiousness and spirituality as per "Dharma" or "way, codes & ethics". Otherwise, we have to classify them as bogus Gurus and false Prophets as revealed (prophesied) by all authentic scriptures. People who follow such Gurus or Prophets are actually devoid of true religious/spiritual or scriptural knowledge. Thus lives in ignorance.

Poor Kusuma still does not know what she is talking. May be Kusuma's family members like 'sisters and daughters' should serve or massage Mr Nitya for a few days and then maintain the same views.

Any investigation will only add momentum to the situation. The 'spiritual seclusion' is usually referred to as 'hiding because I know I screwed up".  My spiritual Ego is shattered and I gotta run for now. I might be back later - c ya! That is the modern interpretation of "spiritual seclusion". Since the entire Unvierse is spiritual... there is no such thing as 'enlightenment' - save the enlightenment of the dark space billions of years ago. Timelessness is DARKNESS! u live in it as LIGHT! FOREVER! ok? that's what that means. to simple to understand I know... nevertheless there is nothing that is NOT enlightenend. The 'unenlightened' IS NOT visible and therefore cannot be speculated about. When u see it - it's enlightened - including the fly on the wall!
