Wonders never cease in the wonderland that the self-styled paramahamsa Nityananda created before it unravelled through a full-colour video presentation of the swamiji in horizontal repose.
These, above, are two pages from non-disclosure agreement that “volunteers” at the ashram had to sign before they took part in “ancient tantrik secrets” as part of the “learning from the master” programme.
“Volunteer solemnly affirms that he /she is over 18 (21 years old, where 18 is not the age of majority) and have the right to access and possess adult material in his community…. that he/she does not find sexual or adult oriented material associated with the practise of any trantric rituals or any other adult material to be offensive or objectionable.
“Volunteer understands that the program may involve the learning and practise of ancient tantric secrets associated with male and female ecstasy, including the use of sexual energy for increased intimacy/ spiritual connection, pleasure, harmony, and freedom….”

Question is, can this NDA, purportedly signed in September 2009, and found by the police during raids on the ashram, stand in a court of law? Does this save the “piddling paramahamsa”?

Just one question I’m dying to ask Nithyananda
The truth, according to little Nithyananda
More truth, according to little Nithyananda
I am never able to understand unquestioned faith.
The Godman Godwoman concept is a recent phenomenon. Indian history, Puranas have only sages or Rihsis who were primarily promoters of the wisdom of philosopht. Vasishtha, Vyasa, Atri etc., They had renounced, lived like hermits and gathered few students to whom they taught vedas and philosphy. It was Gurukula vaasa or Ashrama life.
Surrendering totally, giving up your own thinking, giving up reasoning/doubting were never encouraged,. Infact, “Vaagvaada” means verbal duel – only sharpened one’s reasoning and mind.
The 20th century concept of Godman must have creeped from the Christian tradition where the Father of the church is greatly revered and honored.
A brief look at history stumps you when you find many disciples of the Godman clan were well read, educated, scientists, successful people. It was not just the middle class which media wrongly terms as the “gullible”.
Another aspect of this imbroglio is –
We demand impeccableness in Godmen because of what??
We pay taxes to the Government with a hope of good administration and public facilities. Are Indians getting this from the Governments ? No.
In fact, the Governments are legally bound by the constitution to give us all that is promised in the holy charter. But not even 10 percent of promises are achieved.
Most of us know that 90 percent of police are corrupt. But still we have police in the country. They why not throw them out too? Infact, what is more needed is a revolution to get our country and system cleaned. Swamis and Godmen are tiny problems compared to more important and dangerous problems the country faces.
The human mind is funny. We know that we ourselves are not 100 percent conforming to what our hearts wants us to be. Yet we expect the neighbor’s daughter to be a chaste girl while ignoring the holes in the Dosa made in our own kitchen.
As already explained Nit can not claim NDA. You can not have NDA between two unequal parties.
Further, why are not police pressing charges under section 497 and 498. This is pure case of adultery. Having even consensual sex with a married woman is against the law.
It looks like Karnataka Police are trying to protect this scum. They moved in to arrest this guy only when Tamilnadu issued a non bailable warrant.

OK..If Nit wants to use NDA, I can provide this counter argument.
Agreement in legal parlance is an offer followed up by acceptance.
If you need to have an offer, both the parties should bring something of value to the table.
Nit has claimed that he was teaching Yoga for free that is why he has not paid any taxes on the income he had. If he was teaching this for free the offer will not be valid because it was between unequal parties.
If he changes tack and says that devotees paid money for this we can pursue two things. IT department can book him for tax evasion and devotees can book him for non delivery of goods..
Interesting.. It goes on to show what kind of dimwits are around Nit!!!. Wake up Nit followers.. More you stay with him more brainless you become !!!
Through Tantra, Yantra and Mantra one will not get freedom from ignorance. These entire concepts are based on speculation imagination. Deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning revels the fact that, the “Self “is not physical but it is the formless soul/ consciousness.
When self is without the physical apparatus, then how one can get freedom through sex? Only people after sex undertake such tantric venture. Sex is nothing to do with self –realization or spirituality, because the true self is not the form but it is formless. Realizing the fact that, self is not physical, leads one to realize the physical existence is mere mirage, on the standpoint of the soul/spirit, which is the true self. Therefore sex is part of the mirage. Therefore, whatever is happening within the mirage is bound to be falsehood. Sex nothing to do with the ultimate truth.
People mostly innocent westerners become scapegoats in the hands of these fake god men and promise male and female ecstasy, including the use of sexual energy for increased intimacy/ spiritual connection, pleasure, harmony, and freedom. The self realization is realizing the self is the not the physical body, but the soul, which is in the form of spirit/consciousness.
The seekers who are searching for the ultimate truth has to be aware of the fact that, the ultimate truth, which they are searching, is beyond Religion, Yoga, Tantra Theories, and glorifying God and Gurus.
I was thinking that this might have been a planted evidence, to make this cheater sleaze swami now look like a just another cult member practicing some ancient/tantric/divine rituals. See how simple it becomes, the swami’s cheating suddenly ‘appears’ to be just a ritual. If not getting away completely he will definitely use it as a excuse to reduce the punishment.
I hope this so called swami’s case is a wake up call to people to stop believing anyone who wears saffron and utters words like karma, satva, dhyana…
I also hope this brings to light the other greedy thieves parading around as swamis and duping people in the name of God.
Kaavi clothes are being reduced to mockery just like Khaki now stands for everything but service or honesty.
So after all Swamy and Friends (disciples) made merry while it lasted. As everybody signed an NDA they knew that it was all one big adulterous F***fest, in the guise of spirituality. So law can’t nail him for promoting (pimping) consensual sex as a crime or can it?
‘AnotherOne’,
I have a similar suspcion – NDA seems like a planted evidence. NDA language reads more ‘American’ than Indian. Any lawyer here confirm if they write such NDA documents?
Well, look at this. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/features/thrill-of-the-chaste-the-truth-about-gandhis-sex-life-1937411.html
The language reads more “American” than Indian because the Dhyanapeetam routinely used the services of lawyers based in the US *and* India for a long time. I know there has been a lot of legal work done for the organisation in the way of creating legal agreements and contracts between the org and brahmacharis, ashramites, participants and others in the US because that is a litigious society where the org could be sued tomorrow by someone because nithya’s yoga exercise gave him a cramp.
That alone does not prove it was planted.
