"Swamy" Nithyananda

There is a lot of outcry about the "deeds" of Swamy Nithyananda. Many justify his action of sleeping with a cine actress and many condomn in all possible ways. The accused himself is justifying his action saying he has not committed anything against law of the land. The police of the State wherefrom the episoede was telecast wash off their hands since the cause of action did not occur in their soil. The Police of the soil where the incident happened are waiting for the case to be transferred to them from the other State. They have not taken any suo motto action on the basis of the the media reports, though they could have taken action. Keep this aside. Let us think of the accused and his actions.

In the first place he is a young and handsome man. Secondly he is not married. Thirdly he is having a lot of wealth at his disposal. It is quite natural he was drawn towards women in spite of his being a saffron robed person. It is quite natural for a human being of his age. Under which script or law he was prohibited from having relationship with women. Who are the people who are against his having illicit relationship. The so called devotees. Who asked them to become his disciples or devotees? Did the so called Swamy compellled them to be his followers. Have they not gained by being his disciples or followers? What interest the so called deveotee Lenin has in probing the privacy of the Swamy? Has he not trespassed the Swamy's privacy. Is he not punishable under any Act of Law? If he did not like the way the Swamy was leading a happy life he should have left the place and pursue his own profession or job? By the way what is his antecedents? By his name it appears that he is a Christian. If it is so what business a Christian has in the Ashram of a Hindu "Sanyasin". If he wanted to purusue a religious way of life he should have joined a Christian Monastry. What he did is an atrocious act.

As per the media reports it seems that the video clip was taken about a year back. What made him keep quiet for such a long period. Why did not he release his video clip immediately? It is obvious that the person is a criminal minded person. He wanted to trap the Swamy and black mail him for ransom. He might have negotiated with may media. Why the media did not disclose his identity immedaitely after the release of the video clip? There is a lot of mystery sorrounding the character and antecedents of the videographer.

Why so many NGOs are burniong his effigies and destroy the property of the Ashram? There is a Government Machinery to probe into the matter and take action. NGOs have no business in this case. If public are affected let them convince the public how they are affected by the action of the Swamy. The NGOs are also not run by disciplinarians or by puritons. They also have their own weakness. The Swamy Nithyananda is not the only Swamy to entangle himself in sex scandel. Earlier also many Swamys faced such situation. Still many are being protected by their wealth and contacts. Who knows how pure they are in their preachings and practice. If people do not like the Swamy let them not follow him. Once all of his followers desert him he would be reduced to nothing. The only gainers out of this episode are police, politicians and rowdies. Public will not gain anything as usual and what they would enjoy is the hot story. Let us wait and see the drama.
