Trees, Other Tall Stories, and Fraudian Slips from the Cult of Nithyananda
Paramahamsa Nithyananda, do you get confused often? I’m sure you will say “No way”. And, perhaps it is just me that gets confused for it is hard to understand some of your logic. Take for instance, that old banyan tree in your Indian ashram in Bidadi. In page 73 in your book ‘Formless in Form', you mention that three to be 300 years old. But, on your website, you, Sri Nithyananda, claim it to be 600-year-old banyan tree. Is this a case of fraud or does being around you, Nithyananda, make someone age very rapidly? OK, I should cut you some slack. After all, you, Sri Nithyananda, are only human. Is this correct?
Sri Nithyananda, another interesting tree in your Bidadi ashram is next to the ‘Laughing Temple’. In page 72 of your book, ‘Formless in Form’, you have a picture of the Neem tree that sprouted from a Bilva tree. In your visit to the United States in 2003, you, Sri Nithyananda, declared that tree as the second most holy spot on the ashram (next to the big 300, I mean 600-year-old banyan tree). In a visit in 2007, that poor creature (both the Neem tree sprouting from the Bilva tree) was dead as a doornail. Maybe it was just hibernating. Now, this is strange. How can the second most holy spot on the ashram just die with you, an enlightened healing master, present? Does anyone bother at your ashram to take care of holy things? Is anyone at your ashrams qualified to take care of holy things? Did you, Sri Nithyananda, make a mistake in discerning what is holy and what is not? Or did your healing powers just take a break? I sure hope this isn't another case of fraud, but I'm sure that it is not a case of fraud, because Paramahamsa Nithyananda is embedded in the truth.
Paramahamsa Nithyananda, do you ever exaggerate your stories? Just a bit? You will answer ‘never’. Sorry to contradict such a truthful man, but sometimes your stories just do not add up. Take the story about your panchatapas (fire meditation) while you still claimed to be a renunciate. Sri Nithyananda, during that time, you said that you wandered India by foot for nine years (or was it just for four and a half years) with a strong vow to never touch any money. In order to get the supplies (lots of wood) to do the panchatapas, Nithyananda, you said that some rich man gave several monks a gold pendent that you sold [understand] for money to purchase [understand] supplies which you then paid [in wages] to some local boys to keep the fire going. Nithyananda, did you wear gloves during all of these monetary transactions so technically you could say that you never actually touched the money? I know you must have done so, otherwise this story could be seen as fraud. You would never commit fraud, now, would you, Sri Nithyananda?

Nithyananda's Claims of Being a Cult God
Nithyananda Guilty of Identity Theft or God Fraud
Paramahamsa Nithyananda, sorry that I ask, but did you ever claim that you were God? I know you will just give a sheepish grin, and say something like “I’m not here to prove that I’m god, but I’m here to prove that you are god”. But, honestly, Sri Nithyananda, do you ever give a little extra 'attention' to those cute young devotees? If I were an attractive young lady, I bet you would probably wink at me too. In fact, is it true, Sri Nithyananda, that your usual pick-up line for young ladies is to say something like “In my past life, I was Krishna, and I waited to take this birth to help liberate you.” Who could resist that?
And, Sri Nithyananda, to a group of ashramites in 2007, after you made them all ‘enlightened’, did you announce that one of your past reincarnations was Devi Minakshi. Wow, that even transcends gender!

Nithyananda Private Life is Very Different Than His Public Life
Nithyananda, Now That’s Entertainment! What's It Like to have a Cult Following?
Paramahamsa Nithyananda, do you live an austere life? I know you will answer with ‘Yes’. And, maybe for a man who has all of that gold and money, others you might consider that true, especially if they hear all of those stories about you wandering as a renunciate monk. But, sorry, Sri Nithyananda, your actions do not point to a humble lifestyle. Nithyananda, do you still fly first class while you force your personal assistant, Ma Nithyananda Gopika, to the back of the plane, in the cattle coach section? And, why in the LA Ashram do you have the only unit with satellite TV? Don’t just believe me, Sri Nithyananda, do a search in Google Maps for:
928 Huntington Dr, Unit 5, Duarte, California 91010
and zoom in on the satellite view. You will see that in your quarters, Unit no. 5, the last unit on the lower right side, you can see the satellite TV dish. I wonder what TV shows are your favorites? “It Takes a Thief”?
With all those channels to select from from your satellite TV dish, I wonder how you get any conversation in? Nithyananda, may I ask what you talk about when the attractive ladies bring your meal and stay in your quarters for sometimes four to five hours? You must chew your food very slowly. Perhaps you were getting nourishment, but I think you might have gotten dinner and a show. We know someone who has seen all these ladies come and go in your quarters, and if ever called to testify in court, under penalty of perjury, this witness would name all of those ladies. You’re quite a stud for an enlightened renunciate.

Questions That Need an Answer by Sri Nithyananda
Chronological Warfare with Nithyananda's 'Enlightenment'
Nithyananda, you say that you're 'enlightened' and you have deep insights to everything? That you can answer simple worldly questions with no problem? You say, "Yes". I say, "That sounds good. But, I'm from Missouri. I need to be shown." So, Paramahamsa Nithyananda, can you answer some very simple questions about your life? You, Nithyananda, seem very quiet. I promise that these are easy chronological questions because being a self-proclaimed Paramahamsa, you are embedded in the Truth. Are you not? If you only tell the Truth, then it is very easy to answer anything, correct? Sri Nithyananda, did the cat steal your tongue?
OK, readers from New York, Flushing New York, Queens, Bellevue Washington, Seattle Washington, and Montclair, Los Angeles, San Barnardino regions, etc., who still have a chance to meet Nithyananda before he goes back to India in November, could you please ask these simple questions to Sri Nithyananda during the upcoming Kalpataru programs and the International Youth Conference?
1. What was the name of the polytechnic that you, Paramahamsa Nithyananda, claimed to receive a degree with 'Distinction' in?
2. What were the dates (from when to when), you, Sri Nithyananda, attended this polytechnic school? (Hint: it must have been before your wandering.)
3. What year did you, Nithyananda, leave your home and begin wandering?
4. How many years did you, Sri Nithyananda, wander before receiving 'enlightenment'?
(Hint: the year Nithyananda started wandering plus years wandering cannot exceed January 1, 2000, the time Sri Nithyananda claims he was 'enlightened'. For instance, he claims to have left home at age 17 in 1995 to start his 9 years of wandering, but managed to pick up a two-year degree before all this happened, and still received 'enlightenment' just four and a half years later on January 1, 2000. Something just is not right with these calculations. If we count backwards, we subtract 9 years from 2000 = 1991. Then subtract two years to account for the polytechnic degree and we have January 1989. Why, in January 1989, Nithyananda was just 12, and at that time, Nithyananda did not even had his first 'enlightenment' story of seeing 360 degrees (which allegedly happened in May 1989). So, we're missing over five years, but Sri Nithyananda will be sure to tell the Truth, and everything will be just fine as it was before we were started to open our eyes and seek the Truth.)
5. Also, ask Sri Nithyananda when exactly was his biological birthday? We need to know the day, year, and time, just like the information that was given to the astrologers that determined that Sri Nithyananda would be a sanyasi (renunciant monk). There are all kinds of rumors and stories that his birthday is on a different day other than January 1, 1978, and Nithyananda can easily clear this up in one shot.
6. Finally, please ask Sri Nithyananda where was the EXACT place that he became 'enlightened'? This 'enlightenment' story seems to be wiggling like a worm on the hot pavement. We'll be writing about it shortly. Therefore, it would be helpful if he clarified once and for all where he, Nithyananda, became 'enlightened'.
By asking Paramahamsa Nithyananda these questions, you certainly will be doing him a great service. Right now, there seems to be lots of doubt about all of these stories, which are probably very true, or at least at one point in our lives we would have liked to believe that these stories were true. After all, every one of these stories about Paramahamsa Nithyanada is in his books and in his YouTube videos. All the sanyasis (renunciants) and acharayas (teachers) also will gladly tell you that these stories are true. However, the problem is with people like us, with our worldly and logical minds that just cannot understand these stories unless they are clear with firm dates that match the context. So, by asking Sri Nithyananda, he has a chance to clear all of these doubts and assure us that he really is 'enlightened' and that he might even make us 'enlightened' just as he is 'enlightened'.
If you are at Kalpataru programs and the International Youth Conference, be sure to discuss these simple questions during the breaks at during lunch with all other participants. Also, be sure to raise them during the 'question and answer' sessions. This will help keep the focus on giving Sri Nithyananda his big chance to let us all know that every one of his stories really is true, and that we should believe everything he says.
If Sri Nithyananda cannot answer these simple questions about his own life, then it might help keep people who have lots of questions and doubts whether Nithyananda really is 'enlightened' or not 'enlightened' away from Nithyananda and his followers... therefore, they will not annoy Paramahamsa Nithyananda and his followers with these seemingly silly questions. Then, Sri Nithyananda will have more time to spend with his TRUE believers who do not ask these silly questions or who are not very good at things like simple math and basic logic, but just want to believe everything that Sri Nithyananda says because Sri Nithyananda sounds so convincing or heart-throbbing otherwise.
Perhaps those that have seemingly nagging and annoying worldly questions but signed up to attend some expensive and timely programs like "Life Bliss Engineering" should ask for a full refund. I'm sure Nithyananda will be glad to give a full refund because if these people attended the program full of doubts about if Nithyananda is 'enlightened' or not 'enlightened', they will probably not get much from this expensive program. In fact, they will probably spend most of their time asking Sri Nithyananda if he really is 'enlightened' or not 'enlightened' which will take away the bliss from the other people who really do believe that Sri Nithyananda is 'enlightened' and who paid all that money and made all those arrangements to be there to receive 'enlightenment' from the 'enlightened' master, Sri Nithyananda. If these doubters are there spoiling all that bliss, then everyone will go home disappointed for everyone will think that they did not receive 'enlightenment' after paying all that money and taking all that time off to be there. So, everyone will benefit if these people with doubts, even small doubts, receive a full refund and stay away from Sri Nithyananda and his programs.
Therefore, if you have signed up for this expensive and timely program of "Life Bliss Engineering", I'm sure all you need to do is contact the nearest ashram in LA or Bidadi, ask your questions about Sri Nithyananda's enlightenment, and if the answers are not fully satisfying, then politely, but firmly ask for a full refund.
If for any silly reason the ashrams refuse to give you a full refund, then you may send us your story, and we'll gladly post it on this forum. If there are enough people who are not satisfied with the answers regarding Sri Nithyananda's 'enlightenment' explanations, then perhaps we can organize a class action law suit. I believe we just need five people to start one. Why not be the first batch to see if the logic of the legal system is any match for Sri Nithyananda's chronological logic of his 'enlightenment'?
Nithyananda, you say that you're 'enlightened' and you have deep insights to everything? That you can answer simple worldly questions with no problem? You say, "Yes". I say, "That sounds good.

Do the Math - Nithyananda's Enlightenment Timeline Doesn't Add Up
Part 1: Engineer Degree Holder, Nithyananda, has Problems with Basic Arithmetic
Nithyananda, you said that you left your house when you were 17, wandered by foot for nine years, and then obtained enlightenment on January 1, 2000? You say, “Correct. It is in all my books.” I say, “That’s a nice story, but it doesn’t add up.” Your stories have too many inconsistencies.
Let’s start out with things that we agree that you said, Sri Nithyananda. First, we agree that you claim January 1, 1978 as your birthday. Then, we agree that you claimed your spiritual wanderings at age 17, where you left your home. And, we agree that you at least consistently said that you obtained ‘enlightenment’ on January 1, 2000, a very special day indeed. Do you agree with this, Paramahamsa Nithyananda? You will say, “Yes” (OK, you’ll just grunt as you do in real life, but we’ll take that as a ‘yes’.)
Let’s first look at your education. My understanding is that most young men and ladies in India leave/graduate high school at age 17. Why that’s perfectly consistent with your story about leaving home and beginning your wanderings across India. In fact, on page 157 of my copy of your book, Glimpses of My Master, Nithyananda, first edition December 2005 (but you recalled this 'first edition' book and then re-released it as the second 'first edition', but I think I have the original first ‘first’ edition that you didn’t want anyone to see.) Anyway, you state clearly that it was 1995 when you were getting ready to leave your house to start your wanderings. Now if we subtract the year you were born, 1978 from the date you started your journey, 1995, we get 17 years of age. Perfect. Right on target. You, Sri Nithyananda, are already to start your wandering.
But, wait just a minute. In your book, The Formless in Form, on page 29, you brag, yes, brag, that you not only attended a polytechnic near Gudiyattam, but passed each engineering exam with ‘Distinction’. That makes you a degree holder. Now aren't most polytechnic schools offer a two-year degree? How can a high school leaver/graduate get a two-year degree in ZERO years? Maybe you used some of your super-naturally siddhis and just completed the necessary tests upon arrival of this polytechnic school? But, once again in your book, The Formless in Form, on page 29, you mention that you attended ALL of the lectures, but never studied, therefore, you had to be there (in attendance) sitting in the classroom in order to pass. As quoted in your book, that you, Sri Nithyananda, wrote:
"The total concentration which he (Nithyananda) gave the lesson during class hours was enough to see him through each exam with the highest grade – a ‘Distinction’."
That means that you had to be there, in the classroom, in the polytechnic school that is near Gudiyattam for the duration of the degree. Now, unless, Sri Nithyananda, you wandered in between classes, this resets your wandering journey to 1997 at age 19. How could this be? Are you stretching the truth just a bit?
Once again, if you answer the questions about the polytechnic school you attended that we asked earlier, all these questions just might go away. When will you answer these questions? [See post titled: 'Paramahamsa Nithyananda Fails Engineering College'] We specifically are interested to know the name and address of this polytechnic school, the dates of attendance, references, and a copy of your transcript. We wait, patiently. But, for now, the burden of proof is on you, Sri Nithyananda.
Paramahamsa Nithyananda, why are you squirming on your golden throne? This is just a small matter. You will fix it, won’t you?
Part 2: Nithyananda’s Long and Tall Stories to Match His Long and Tall Journey
Sri Nithyananda, let’s just assume this polytechnic degree never happened and that you left your house in 1995 at age 17 to start your wandering across the breadth of India. Is that true, Sri Nithyananda, that you wandered across India and Nepal for around nine years? You, Nithyananda, will say “Yes, that is true.” I say perhaps we should give you a calculator for your next Jayanti (birthday celebrations).
Again, on my copy of Glimpses of My Master, Nithyananda (same 'first' edition), you mention on page 83 that you:
“traveled over 30,000 kilometers over 8 to 10 years.”
In most lectures, I hear you, Sri Nithyananda, usually just say that your wandered for nine years. OK, fair enough. We’ll split the difference and say nine years. Now in the same book, it says that you started your wandering in the year 1995 (p. 157) when you were just 17. I don’t know exactly when in 1995, so perhaps we can split the difference again and say that your journey started on July 1, 1995.
Paramahamsa Nithyananda, what is 1995 plus 9 ? Why, it is 2004. July 2004 to be consistent. Why by July 2004 you already had your Bidadi Ashram well established, your first gig as a holy Himalayan tour guide, and already made several trips to the US as an ‘enlightened’ master.
But, didn’t you, Sri Nithyananda, say that you obtained the ‘ultimate’ experience of ‘enlightenment’ on January 1, 2000? And, that concluded your wandering?
Why that was just in a mere four and a half years of wandering, exactly half of the full nine years of wandering that you always claim. Is there an explanation, Sri Nithyananda? Would you like to tell us something? Did you do some time continuum travel? Or is it like your ‘sacred’ banyan tree at your Bidadi ashram that ages in double-time. (Stay tuned for another post about the incredible ‘sacred’ banyan tree that was first claimed to be 300 years old and now it is claimed to be 600 years old.)
I know, Sri Nithyananda, you go beyond logic. And, this proves that you gone way beyond logic. I think you might have landed firmly in the realm of nonsense. Would some people see this as lying? What? A living Paramahamsa and self-declared saint lie in this age of Kali Yuga? What is this world coming to, Paramahamsa Nithyananda? Please say it ain’t so!
Nithyananda, you said that you left your house when you were 17, wandered by foot for nine years, and then obtained enlightenment on January 1, 2000? You say, “Correct. It is in all my books.” I say, “That’s a nice story, but it doesn’t add up.” Your stories have too many inconsistencies.
Let’s start out with things that we agree that you said, Sri Nithyananda. First, we agree that you claim January 1, 1978 as your birthday.

You will say, “Yes” (OK, you’ll just grunt as you do in real life, but we’ll take that as a ‘yes’.)

We wait, patiently. But, for now, the burden of proof is on you, Sri Nithyananda.
Paramahamsa Nithyananda, why are you squirming on your golden throne? This is just a small matter. You will fix it, won’t you?
Part 2: Nithyananda’s Long and Tall Stories to Match His Long and Tall Journey
Sri Nithyananda, let’s just assume this polytechnic degree never happened and that you left your house in 1995 at age 17 to start your wandering across the breadth of India. Is that true, Sri Nithyananda, that you wandered across India and Nepal for around nine years? You, Nithyananda, will say “Yes, that is true.” I say perhaps we should give you a calculator for your next Jayanti (birthday celebrations).
Again, on my copy of Glimpses of My Master, Nithyananda (same 'first' edition), you mention on page 83 that you:
“traveled over 30,000 kilometers over 8 to 10 years.”
In most lectures, I hear you, Sri Nithyananda, usually just say that your wandered for nine years. OK, fair enough. We’ll split the difference and say nine years. Now in the same book, it says that you started your wandering in the year 1995 (p. 157) when you were just 17. I don’t know exactly when in 1995, so perhaps we can split the difference again and say that your journey started on July 1, 1995.
Paramahamsa Nithyananda, what is 1995 plus 9 ? Why, it is 2004. July 2004 to be consistent. Why by July 2004 you already had your Bidadi Ashram well established, your first gig as a holy Himalayan tour guide, and already made several trips to the US as an ‘enlightened’ master.
But, didn’t you, Sri Nithyananda, say that you obtained the ‘ultimate’ experience of ‘enlightenment’ on January 1, 2000? And, that concluded your wandering?
Why that was just in a mere four and a half years of wandering, exactly half of the full nine years of wandering that you always claim. Is there an explanation, Sri Nithyananda? Would you like to tell us something? Did you do some time continuum travel? Or is it like your ‘sacred’ banyan tree at your Bidadi ashram that ages in double-time. (Stay tuned for another post about the incredible ‘sacred’ banyan tree that was first claimed to be 300 years old and now it is claimed to be 600 years old.)
I know, Sri Nithyananda, you go beyond logic. And, this proves that you gone way beyond logic. I think you might have landed firmly in the realm of nonsense. Would some people see this as lying? What? A living Paramahamsa and self-declared saint lie in this age of Kali Yuga? What is this world coming to, Paramahamsa Nithyananda? Please say it ain’t so!
Nine Months for Nithyananda's Full 'Enlightenment'
The Expecting State of Nithyananda's Enlightenment; Nine Months in the Waiting
Sri Nithyananda, another question. Do you remember saying that after reaching ‘full enlightenment’, it took nine months for the body to settle in to the ‘new’ you. Of course you do. You wrote it in all of your books.
Nithyananda, when compared to other recognized enlightened masters such as Paramahamsa Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda, their enlightenment process only took minutes. Immediately, they were fully functional. Why did you, Sri Nithyananda, take so long? Why nine months is long enough to have a baby! Were you pregnant or did someone else move in?

pt 1, Is the 'Enlightened State' of Nithyananda the Real Thing? : Nithyananda's Ashramites & Inner-circle of Nithyananda
Nithyananda's Enlightened Yardstick of Judgment
To the dear ashramites and inner-circle of Nithyananda,
Are you enlightened?
You say, “Yes”. I say, “Not at all”. For example, you do not believe in universal love for all, but you believe in ‘us’ vs. ‘them’. You believe in group-mentality. New information is ‘downloaded’ and installed in your brain. You relate fully to this new information. You believe that you are something that you are not.
And, if someone wants to talk with you, you do not listen to what this person is saying, but you, instead, analyze that person based on that recorded (brainwashed) Nithyananda information. You instantly judge that person based on your mental yardstick of Nithyananda instead of judging on Truth, common sense, understanding, and universal love. This is not blissful. You do not seek to understand, but only to get approval from Nithyananda and Nithyananda’s senior members. This is the basis of your cult mentality.
