dear sri/smt vtv_ram9002,It is the mistake of people that they accepted Nithyanand swami as a spirtual Guru. He never proclaimed that he is a sanyasin and if some people had foolishly followed him , it is their mistake and NOT the mistake of Hinduism !!
the subject topic is clear, i think, and no Hindu is and will even tend to find fault with the strong, mighty Hinduism which is very sacred, and globally a much respected religion. And again no one would do a mistake if he/she know earlier of a its possible adverse repercussion; this is simple a common sense.
Not withstanding all this,I would also like to share that Nithyananda has mentioned innumerable times in his public talks that he is NOT a brahmachari or sannyasi but a paramahamsa, who is not bound by the laws of sannyas like wearing safforn, observing celibacy, not possessing personal belongings, etc. He has mentioned that he wears saffron only because he likes the color, and is often seen in public in other colors. [This does not, however, qualify the purported scandal in any manner] So I would sincerely request those who are pounding Nithyananda on this issue to please get their facts straight first.
Please note that I am also in utter disgust and shock over Nithyananda on his dealings recently on air and the to fact that he had got caught with his pants down.The scandal is tremendously painful . I am a die-hard devotee . I may permanently put off gurus as a result of shattered faith in Nithyananda. As with most things in life where expectations lead to dissapointment, so it is here as well. What is more interesting to me are thoughtful discussions about sex & spirituality, or insights into the function, purpose, nature, and measure of a ‘guru’.
Best wishes & thanks to all those who shared their opinion. God bless.
