One more Swamy's road to spiritual salvation revealed!

This blog is regarding a recent expose in the Tamil New Channel Sun TV. A well-known young swamy named Nithyanananda Paramahamsa who was found engaged in sexual acts with a famous Tamil cine actress. This swamy is said to be having millions of devotees in India and across the world.

Nithyananda joins the select club of swamis in the league of the Kerala fame Santhosh Madhavan. These fake swamis find ways to reach god through a completely different medium. Okay. They might be right in choosing the path they want. However, the issue involved is the moral corruption among the so called spiritual men.

One might ask a reasonably looking question now. Wasn't it his private affair? Doesn’t he have the right to enjoy the physical pleasures of this kind? The, why is this hell breaking loose upon him? The answer is these miracle men earned their name and fame and of course millions of rupees by projecting that they are spiritually and physically pure. They exemplify their life by showing their abstinence from such pleasures. They make people believe that they are above these worldly pleasures meant for the lesser human beings on the earth. Here is the problem. By saying so, they attain a kind of divinity in the minds of their devotees.
These spiritual men should be held responsible for betraying the belief of thousands of their devotees.

Take this incident for example. When the TV channels started flashing the news of Nithyananda’s sexual exploits, his hardened fans (devotees) rejected him and started removing his portraits from their homes.

It shows how hurt they are by the ‘spiritual betrayal’ of their guru.

Also, he has not made any public statement so far. Like our politicians, he too ascribed the story to some hostile elements using technical terms like morphing, fabrication and distortion of facts. I think he should have come out in the open and said it was he, and convinced people of his physical needs like any other human beings. Don’t we have swamis with wives and ‘extra’ connections? We a kind of people who easily forget and forgive.

It is time our people should wake up and understand the real ‘holiness’ of these spiritual incarnations.
It is time we need to realize the damage these fake swamis do to our culture and beliefs.
Beware, there are more such skeletons in the cupboard. Only, time will how many of them will show their colours during our life time.
