Below is an email from a Bidadi Ashramite sent on 29th April

Nithyanandam,
All is well in Bidadi, for those of you who do not know, Swamiji is
currently being questioned by the police about complaints laid against
him. We anticipate he will be released in a few days.If you have
questions or need clarity write directly to me at dheera.la@gmail.com
let us keep these group chats for comments to be shared with the whole
group.

The Media character assassination continues, here are some examples
from the last few days:

One Media entry a few days ago said that Nithyanand was in deep
trouble for having $7,000 in his possession when he was arrested.
There were a total of 4 people arrested , including Swamiji, and that
means less than $2000 each,. It appears that $ 2000 is the limit that
people should have. So another made up story by a very creative
writer looking for an angle. Illogical.

Then here was the tiger skin story, based on CDs from the ashram that
show Swamiji sitting on synthetic fabrics that have tiger patterning
on them in the Himalayas trip. The media published stories saying he
had a whole pile of wild animal skins!

Then there is the Tamil Tiger story- Accusing Swamiji of money
laundering via the Tamil Tigers!!!! The Tamil Tigers are a Sri Lankan
rebel group. Whose international transactions are the subject of a lot
of scrutiny. Who in their right minds would do that? But a reporter
could invent the story for sensational ends.

Then the gold smuggling story..Swamiji smuggling gold in his
mala! .another illogical concept as gold has a global price for small
amounts, and with Swamiji flying once a year back from the USA, why
bother! But a great story for sensation even if it does not make
sense logically.

We have seen that media is inventing these stories constantly for
instance: They have been quoting the police when we can prove that the
police did not have the evidence to make the statement: Eg taking
from the web department hard drives which have all our web photos
and material, and the media saying that the police obtained
information about financial wrongdoings!

Then some more stories for you:
In one town where we have a center the people from the center were
watching TV, and the reporters said their center had been attacked and
windows broken.. But there was no damage to the center. A few minutes
later vandals arrived and broke the windows that were reported as
being broken. I guess the vandals and the media had not coordinated
well enough!

In another center the center was fine. The police called and said is
all ok? And the police decided to come and visit. On their way they
came across a TV news crew broken down on the road, so they brought
them with them. The film crew filmed the center looking lovely.
They returned and the TV news people put on the news that the center
had been damaged, with photos of the undamaged center alongside photos
of another demonstration that took place in another part of India!

What can you do?

Continue to radiate and be blissful, dont watch too much news and
enjoy every moment!!!

In Nithyananda,
Dheera
