Sadashiva, in his Agamas, has clearly defined a set of initiations for someone who wants to officially become a Hindu. For Millenia these four Deekshas – Samaya Deeksha, Visesha Deeksha, Nirvana Deeksha and Acharya Abhisheka – have been followed in the traditional Shaivite Mutts for anyone wanting to become a Hindu. In the past 10 years lakhs of non Indians have officially converted to Hinduism in the Nithyananda Adheenam in Bengaluru adopting Hindu names and following Hindu rituals, lifestyle and worship.

This is to clarify about the baseless allegations being made by the television channel Samaya on 13th & 14th January against HH Paramahamsa Nithyananda and his followers and organization, alleging that they stopped and instigated the hotel in which they are residing for the meditation program to stop Kannadigas from entering into the hotel and allegedly ’insulting Kannadigas’. We would like to clarify that no such incident has happened and the allegation is baseless and motivated. Pained by these false and malicious accusations, Paramahamsa Nithyananda has responded with a statement, saying, ‘I wanted to make it very clear to the people of Karnataka – I love Karnataka and I love people of Karnataka. Neither me nor my representatives made any of these kind of statements. We don’t have any barriers based on religion, language, nothing. We’re open to all human beings. We’re open to everyone.’ The General Manager of Hotel Sarovar, Sri Brijesh Gupta, also expressed his shock at this false accusation by the channel, saying, ‘It is very disheartening to know the statement which is made by the said channel. Swamiji and his message are all-inclusive and welcoming and uniting everyone. I don’t know how the channel is showing this, but if they are showing this, it is a very wrong allegation to Swamiji. And if they want to come (to the hotel) and see whether anyone is stopping them, they can see! They can come and check if they have any doubt about it.’ The administrator of Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam ashram in Bidadi, Sri Sairam Muthuswamy, has also presented a letter to the Hon’ble CM of Karnataka, clarifying the facts and appealing to the Hon’ble CM to take the necessary action to stop the harassment.

An estimated 10 million people bathed in the Ganga on Monday, the first day of the ongoing Maha Kumbh Mela at Allahabad. It is billed as the biggest single religious gathering in the world. Behind the massive show of religious devotion is a quiet secular machine that services the millions who pour into Allahabad for the Kumbh Melas. The details are mind boggling. The crowd on the main days is large enough to be visible from space satellites. Some 25,000 tonnes of foodgrains are sent to feed the pilgrims. About 700,000 tents are erected to house the visitors. Pipes have to be laid so that clean drinking water is available.
