Rumor has it that Swami Nithyananda, the controversial self-proclaimed "godman" who left india in 2019 after being accused of rape and sexual assault, has passed away. On the other hand, his death has not been formally confirmed. His present location is still unknown, which heightens the mystery surrounding him.
Who is Swami Nithyananda?
Swami Nithyananda was born on january 1, 1978, at the age of 47, in Tiruvannamalai, tamil Nadu, to parents Arunachalam and Lokanayaki. He became well-known as a spiritual leader, claiming to have supernatural abilities and drawing a sizable following. He founded several ashrams both in india and elsewhere, presenting himself as a guru who could guide followers to enlightenment. But when he was allegedly charged with rape and sexual assault, his reputation suffered greatly. He escaped india in 2019 to avoid authorities after being involved in several legal problems.
A video on his website states that Nithyananda claims to have achieved 'enlightenment' at the age of twelve. He is presented in the video as a Hindu spiritual leader who has centers in 47 nations. He is also the leader of the religious organization he formed, Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam.
'Kailasa' Controversy
Nithyananda purportedly established a self-declared nation named "Kailaasa" on a secluded island after vanishing from india, asserting that it was an independent Hindu republic. He has not been found even after india sent a red corner warning via Interpol.
Past Controversies
This debate surrounding Nithyananda is not the first time it has occurred. On april 21, 2010, he was arrested in the Solan region of himachal pradesh after a complaint was filed against him in Bengaluru. However, he was soon released on bail.
His reputation was further damaged in 2012 when a woman from the united states accused him of assaulting her for five years.
An FIR was filed in 2019 against Nithyananda and two of his followers at an ashram in ahmedabad for allegedly kidnapping, torturing, and shackling a 19-year-old lady and two minors.
Following the complaint, the father of the victims filed a habeas corpus petition, and the gujarat high court responded by sending notifications to Nithyananda and the state government. police then removed the two young girls from the ashram's grounds and detained two of its managers.
Even after numerous accusations and court cases, Nithyananda's present location is still unknown.
Death Rumors and Mysteries Surrounding Him
But there has been conjecture over Swami Nithyananda's passing before. According to accounts in 2022, he was being treated by a group of 27 doctors and was reportedly unable to recognize names, individuals, or locations. His self-proclaimed nation, 'Kailasa,' remains shrouded in mystery, with assertions that the footage on its official website was pre-recorded and theories of an island economic disaster.
On Facebook, Nithyananda, however, denied these allegations, claiming that he was still alive and in a condition of "Samadhi," which is a subconscious, inactive state. He informed his supporters that he was still alive but that it would be some time before he could talk or lead spiritual sessions again, and he stressed that the reports were untrue.
His most recent recorded wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital appearances were six hours ago, during social media posts and online sermons, which have also been common in recent years. There are still unsolved concerns regarding Nithyananda's destiny as conjecture mounts. His absence is still a source of mystery and debate, regardless of whether he is still alive or not.
