Truth Triumphs!

My experience with swamiji though has been for a short time (about 6 months) now, it has been a deep experiential one, with tremendous impact in my understanding of 'life' Its truly been an inner awakening. What one hears or even sees can be untrue, but not what one experiences. His books 'living enlightenment', 'guaranteed solutions', various discourses in YouTube, and courses - ASP & NSP have helped me transform internally to a great deal. One can only experience not explain the value of these, nor can be explained in words -its like when you experience 'love'. For a question once a devotee asked "are you trying to prove that you are a god", swamiji's answer was "NO. I am only trying to prove that you are god".The beauty is Swamiji has always respected all spiritual gurus; has encouraged to follow any master we like. He says "the message from all masters and religion is the same, but people forget the message and stick to the master". That's exactly happening now. Instead of looking into the messages swamiji has loaded the world with, people have started questioning about his whereabouts, age, origin, purity, etc.If swami had to mint money through devotees (as being proclaimed in the news channel again and again!), why so many youTube discourses (over 700nos), including his ASP,NSP, Inner awakening, etc are freely made available for people. People have option of not coming to ashram but only getting his knowledge through Internet, books and CDs. They are all powerful enough to touch anybody's inner consciousness.

Any devotee who has experienced swamiji's energy will not take much time in seeing this whole episode as a mere scandal for a personal gain, rivalry or vengeance. People who have visited ashram or swami with an 'evaluating' or 'doubtful' mindset, would obviously be shaken with what media has to say. However, a common basic question one could ask is, why only one media house or network is very keen in airing continuously about the scam, getting very creative in creating negative capsules around the ashram and ashramites. The miscreants who caused destruction at ashram on the first day...did they look like devotees or mobs.Any media has to play a neutral role of showcasing the facts and not pass allegations, judgments and conclusions. Doesn't these make obvious that some great movers and shakers could be a part of these? In the press conference somebody asked a question " is Kumbamela more important to swamiji than clearing the air about him?". A clean hand wants no washing.

Besides this story behind the scandal, if one goes back to history, all great spiritual leaders and divinity have faced insults; have faced the truth in a hard way. It was never easy for any great masters or divine...be it Jesus Christ (was allowed to be on earth for a short period), Shirdi Saibaba (his religion was questioned, allegations were passed, ill treated, etc), Sri Rama (his kingdom was snatched), Seetha (her character was questioned), Sri Krishna (continuous attempts were made to kill him, was called a cunning man, etc), Budda, Meera Bai, Purandara Dasa to name a few. Attempts were made to kill them, dishonor them, allegations were passed, etc. When such are the past, an young swamiji like Nithyananda being questioned about his age, qualification, achievements, knowledge may look trivial. While normally the spiritual gurus fall in the age bracket of 50+, Nithyananda's fame at this age has been raising many eyebrows. In this era of 'all is fair and possible", the only scam which could create a sensation was sex scam.
My urge to devotees and people "wait.. the truth will triumph". Adharma and asathya always roars..its loud, but short-lived. Sathya and dharma, do not make noise....its heard only after the roaring stops. After a storm comes a calm.
