I never attended classes taken directly by Swamiji.I did get blessings from him.Nothing mystical happened,Just a normal blessing. I did take up ASP. All these training for 2 days of ASP were almost know to me because of a connection that I had with a saint. Things to be clear as far as a saint is concerned.

1.Does he give training(or classes) to attain the ultimate?
Answer is yes.
2.Are the methods working for you?
In my case It does.

I developed a connection with him by a trial and error basis.I read and tried only his meditation techniques not his preaching.Iam totally happy with it.Those who have met a fake/real saint before can easily feel Swami Nithyananda.Press and media are here to create sensation not spiritualism. Not even once they dare to close their eyes and sit for couple of minutes. Only people in fear/low self esteem need to prove their power and strength.Its simple and straight because they doubt themselfs. Dhyanapeetam should perhabs provide a free course by Swamiji to all the chair persons in the media to realize "who and what are they". Well every where the perception is, things offered for free are not of good quality so probably they wont take up!.This is also a reason who millions of saints are considered to be beggers - "Just because they speak and teach for free".

My final word:
The politicians and media were awestruck by the fame and support given by the people.The reason is "A man with single piece of cloth cant do it when we cant do with our money and gundas".Pity is they dont want(not can't) to understand.
