Comment on blog "Mind of a mystic" by Dr. R. Murali Krishna

I felt the video was a fake one because if the intention was to produce a sting, the lights would not have been switched off before the supposed act. So the idea was to show as little of swamiji's body as possible so that the look-alike is not compromised. The other thing is there was no audio to go with the video, which is unlikely for a sting operation. Therefore the whole exercise was not through a hidden CCTV but with a directed camera and look-alikes. There are many other apparent flaws to conclude that the video is fake, which I have elaborated in my blog at "www.kaikulath.blogspot.com".

However, swamiji’s first video statement post the airing of the suspect CD did come as a disappointment. Why is swamiji unable to simply say that he has never had sex with anyone? Why is he asking for time to collect evidence against the falsity of the charges? Swamiji’s unambiguous statement that he has never had sex would leave the onus to prove otherwise to others. If sex is not alien to swamji’s life, then he should have in his teachings glorified it. In the absence of swamiji’s glorification of sex in his teachings, it was understood that swamiji neither had anything to do with sex nor wanted, at least his direct disciples, to have anything to do with it. Therefore the swamiji getting caught, if true, in the midst of sex is a sure call for him to abdicate his role as a traditional Hindu Sanyasi. For Swami Nithyananda at least, given the image he was cultivating, sexual and spiritual life cannot cohabitate.

And why was swamiji speaking from a camouflaged location? It seemed unbecoming of a fearless swamiji. I, as millions of others, am waiting for swamiji to speak again to the public at large from an open forum and clear all misgivings once and for all. What makes spiritual persons worship-worthy is that they live what they teach, unlike say a scholar, whose life need not necessarily be that transparent.
