Guruprasad condemns Swami Nithyananda

Thursday, March 11, 2010, 10:44 [IST]
Mata fame director Guruprasad has condemned Paramahamasa Nithyananda Swamiji by saying that despite having alleged affair with Tamil actress, he continues to deny the fact. He said if he thought he was pure, then he should hand over all his alleged property to the government and re-establish his personality as a samyasi by sacrificing all worldly things.

Three years ago, the director had predicted this kind of alleged act in his blockbuster movie Mata, which featured comedy king Jaggesh in lead. The movie deals with the purity of crimson cloth (Khavi dress). It depicts the illegal activities that happen in today's Ashrams.

In an interview to Kannada news channel TV9 on Wednesday evening, Guruprasad said, “Although whole world has seen Swamiji's video footage, he denies it by saying it has been morphed. If he is clear and he has not allegedly made any property. Then he should give up all his belongings to government. He should give up his worldly desires and reestablish himself as a real Swamiji."

Guruprasad also slammed at the devotee of Nithyananda by calling them 'foolish'. He said, “Despite seeing him involving in sexual act with Tamil actress at his Bidadi Ashram, they still believe him as their Guru. They don't think that he is a great actor. They still support him, adore him as a godman."

The director said that there are hundreds of Swamijis like Shivakuamrji those who are serving the society. The people like Nithyananda are creating bad impression about them. He further said, "Finally, I would like to suggest his devotees they should wake and stop supporting him. For Swamiji, I would suggest his drama is enough and he should shed his mask and come out with clean hands."

Why is the news only coming from media? No One has filed a case against any kind on Swami Nithyannada.. Why is the media jumping to conclusions.. Don't they look at the news on both sides??? Why is it so biased??? this is unfair reporting and completely biased...

Went we start look at our view of point, we will miss the real point. For me i only take all the good points from Swami Nithyananda. Becouse i has my own intellectual.

In this era of Media blow up,creating sensation,political parties joining the bandwagon to suit their requirements,let us not jump into any conclusions. We must always learn to hear the other side of the story.Why only Hindu saints are called Godmen whereas the others are not called so?.There are many saints doing very good job in society.

On what kind of facts is Mr. Guruprasad convicting Swami Nithyananda? He might have done a study of all ashrams in general but I want ask him has he gone deep into the teachings and followed the preachings from ANY ONE of his case study ashrams? We should reject all such surface level convictions, it is an insult to one's intelligence.

I read mr.Subbu's comment and about his conviction that (Guru?,Swami?)nithyananda's acton should not be judged by this scandal alone.I disagree with this point of view.Had this nithyanada not projected himself as a godman or god's man or a righteous person his actions could be accepted as somewhat pardonable.But this guy is a hyprocrite.He preaches lofty ideals but prefers to sleep with someone e's wife.(Please note that ranjitha's divorce case is still lsein court.)If Mr.Subbu accepts...

Where has been the media when good things were done by Swamiji.. Why did it not report ant news when meditations programs are conducted>. Does this director has any spiritual knowledge.. His motivation was to make a movie to interest audience and to gain profits.....Not to enquire into truth... It is a sad state of media that it gives importance to news that captures mass who like sensational news....

Media has come up with all this news and only now the Swami Nithyananda camp is beginning to come out with its statements. Everybody should avoid jumping to conclusions about Swami Nithyananda till we hear the whole story. Otherwise we will make fool of ourselves and show our gullibility to fall prey to sensationalised news. We need to separate corn from chaff and come to the truth. That's possible only when we hear both sides of the story.

dear all, the vedeo is very clear and the swamy who has no control over these mundane activities and falls a prey to cheap attractions like women, wine and wealth cannot be seated as GURU this fellow is an insult to the indian culture, the holy place of GURU and should be thrown behind bars with third degree treatment. kumar

Our master have thought to forgive others ignorance because everyone stand in different level in their own life. We forgive you Mr. Guruprasad.

I might forgive your master too though the law may not if they were broken! Even if we forgive we cannot forget that he is still human...not any avatar! The disciples must be really brainwashed if they think otherwise..

Mr Guruprasad is the quintessential self proclaimed "judge, jury and executioner". Last I heard the laws of this land stated "Innocent until proven guilty." ie A man is considered innocent until he is proven guilty in a court of law. Looks like Mr Guruprasad has decided he knows best. And we have a thousand Guruprasads here to follow him. God help India !

Swami message on Love is very extensive...and powerful. Sometime a human sharing his love to a dog..gets bitten by the dog. Strong and powerful messages from the Supreme gets powerful reaction and changes We should always listen to the message..the messinger sometimes get hurt in delivering the message...high magnitude message..is high risk.

All the people who commented including this Mr Guruprasad have no idea about what enlightenment is about. An enlightened person is free of the world.. but not outside the world. What is the different between physical contact and eating and ice-cream? Please go deeper into something before taking on the authority to comment on someone far greater that you can ever imagine.
