Kumudam Reporter Criminal Defamation First Complaint
Kumudam Reporter Criminal Defamation First Complaint

25. The accused have stated that the camera was planted in the
flower pot. This information is not available to the
Complainant from a perusal of all the documents furnished
by the Karnataka police to him through the medium of the
courts of law. As such, it has become necessary to cast
suspicion on their publication and to hold a genuine doubt
over whether their publication had advance information about
the illegal acts committed by K. Lenin and his group of
conspirators.
For that we asked him, „Then are you refuting this video
and saying that it is not him?‟ To that he replied, “I am
afraid to talk about this big plot for fear of the
consequences it will bring to me. Eight people know the
story behind this video. There was a deal struck with the
eye on big money, with the people immediately below
swami. It will only be apt to say that these chasing shots

30. The accused have stated that the Bangalore ashram is very
strange for there is no difference between men and women
there. The implication of such a statement is that there is a
free intermingling of men and women in the Bangalore
ashram. The Complainant respectfully submits that no such
intermingling takes place and there is a strict segregation of
sexes in the ashram.
38. Their further statement that “To cheer him up the sannyasis of
the ashram are yet to find new words from the dictionary” is
similarly calculated as their statements on suicide – to wreak
havoc on the reputation of the Complainant.
45. The accused might have been aware that there is no program
by the name of „Ananda Thandavam‟ that has been conducted
either at the specific venue that the accused have cited or at
any other location by the Complainant. Their further
statement that the Complainant did individually kiss the
participants in the above program is thoroughly false and the
accused clearly knew it. The Complainant reiterates that he
does not kiss any devotee whether in private or in public and
he does not endorse such conduct for any religious
practitioner.
53. The accused have stated that the said lawyer Siva did file a
police complaint at the Ezhumbur police station. The
Complainant respectfully submits that no such complaint
was ever filed by any person with that name and with the
description and designation the accused have offered of the
said person.
55. The accused further knew that when they said that a certain
lawyer demanded the arrest of the Complainant under the
Goondas‟ Act, the accused have essentially classified the
Complainant within the small set of heinous accused who are
typically charged and arrested under the Tamil Nadu
Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Bootleggers, Drug
Offenders, Forest Offenders, Goondas, Immoral Traffic
Offenders, Sand Offenders, Slum-grabbers and Video Pirates
Act, 1982 (Tamil Nadu Act 14 of 1982) („Goondas Act‟ for
short).
26
56. The lawyer by name Siva had no basis to assert that the
Complainant should be arrested under the Goondas Act
simply because the said statute is a statute that has no
application whatsoever to an alleged sexual relationship
between a religious practitioner and his devotees. The said
lawyer Siva ought to have known so much. If he did not, the
accused were under a legal duty to ascertain if such a
connotation could even be made for the alleged acts of the
Complainant. Failing on both counts, their report has
incalculably injured the reputation and good name of the
Complainant.

It has been said that the ashram has lot of black money
and it has been kept in certain lockers in the ashram,
locations of which have been told. In this letter, it says
that Nithyananda is the main person involved in all
these illegal and immoral activities and mentions 5 of
his close associates also who have a hand in it.
This letter mentions that all those who are guilty have
to be punished and says „truth will triumph‟ as the last
statement these photos have been in the archives of
ashram.
79. The accused have further reproduced from parts of the First
Information Report (FIR). However, instead of being content
with such reproduction, the accused have seen it expedient to
carry on their discussion further by conducting their own
„pseudo investigation‟ and by prophesizing upon the outcome
of the investigation that was due by the police. The accused
have ignored the fact that these complaints to the police
merely represented one side of the controversy and the
accused had no authority of any kind to assume that the
allegations in these police complaints were the truth and the
whole truth.
88. Their article blurs the line between making a direct attack on
the Complainant and reproducing from an allegation
contained in the FIR. By eliminating such distinction, their
article ceases to be a fair report of events that affect public
interest. Rather, their article has taken on the role of a direct
but unjustified attack upon the reputation of the
Complainant.
93. The accused ought to have known that at the relevant time,
whoever was speaking to the accused had before them
nothing more than plain allegations and certain doctored
videos the authenticity of which was indeed doubted by
many. Yet, by eliciting extremely negative comment from
certain persons and by unabashedly publishing the same, the
accused have contributed to needless defamation of the
Complainant. In the above reference attributed to Sri.
Chinmaya Somasundaram, to compare the Complainant to
drainage water was utterly contemptuous and grossly
scandalous.
101. The fact that the accused did neither is itself indicative that
the accused witnessed no such thing as the accused have
claimed in above. Therefore, the accused have simply
manufactured certain past events for the purpose of
influencing their readers‟ opinion in the present.
108. Accordingly, the accused could not have paid any such sum
that was not even demanded of the accused.
109. The Complainant further submits that all donations that were
ever received by the trusts established by the Complainant
are properly accounted for and periodic returns are submitted
to the appropriate statutory authorities. The sum of Rupees
One Lakh that was provided by the accused to a trust
established by the Complainant was towards a provision of a
tour to KumbhMela. The accused, Charu Niveditha, made the
said contribution voluntarily and willingly for the benefit of
his wife‟s desire to travel to KumbhMela. Nevertheless, the
said sum of money was refunded to the accused upon
knowledge that the proposed trip had to be cancelled.
45
110. The fact that the accused have conveniently omitted to state
that the said sum of Rupees One Lakh was refunded to the
accused pursuant to the cancellation of the tour of
KumbhMela is itself indicative of the vicious nature of their
reporting.
111. As one would see it, if only the accused were eager to state
the facts in their article, the accused were bound to state that
the said sum of Rupees One Lakh was refunded. However, by
omitting material particulars that were within their own
knowledge, their article takes on the role of a criminal
attempt to malign the fair name of the Complainant.
113. The accused were clearly aware that there was no financial
detriment of any kind to the accused or to their side by
reason of the initial remittance of Rupees One Lakh towards
the KumbhMela trip. The entire sum of Rupees One Lakh was
returned to the accused without any deduction by the date of
the publication of their aforesaid article. Their deliberate
exclusion of the said detail is inexcusable.
125. Further, the Complainant submits that the questions that the
accused have posed to themselves and the answers that the
accused have fabricated and attributed to the Complainant
are of such egregious nature that no respectable person who
would chance upon such a report would consider the
Complainant in a respectable light thereafter.
WHAT NEXT?’
Ranjitha…?
Finally?
130. The fact that the Complainant was in dire distress at the
relevant time and that his ashram administrators were
desperate to protect life and limb at his various properties
and ashrams has been most conveniently exploited by the
accused and their publication in the name of permissive
journalism.

Rahul was born on the same day when Buddha left the
palace in search of enlightenment. He fell at Buddha's
feet and told him what his mother had said. Buddha
lifted him up, and with a smile, replaced his woven
garments with saffron one.
155. As such, the box message that the accused have concluded
with is utterly damaging and derogatory of the Complainant‟s
reputation.
158. The accused were further aware that until the said date, no
journalist had ever complained of mistreatment or
maltreatment at any of the ashrams of the Complainant and
even during the height of the scandal days, most television
channels were beaming visuals of media men capturing the
destruction of the property at the Bangalore ashram.
162. The imagination of the accused that any person from inside
the ashram could not easily walk out is wholly misplaced. It
is further surprising to wonder why the accused would not
simply tell the security guards that the accused had come to
seek his wife Smt. Avanthika. Had the accused only done so
much, the security guards would have ensured that the
accused would have been put in touch if only she was within
63
the ashram and the matter would have simply ended there
without giving the accused any further room to perpetuate a
false story. Quite amazingly, the accused does not seem to
ask, based on his own report, for his wife at the gate at all. It
is so much at odds that while on the one hand the accused
expresses enormous concern for the safety of his wife while
the accused sits and functions at Chennai, the accused would
not bother to ask for her while at the gates of Nithyananda
Dhyanapeetam at Bidadi in the State of Karnataka. Such
contradiction appears to be a convenient method to
perpetuate more false stories concerning the Complainant.
163. Further, had the accused only sought for his wife at the gate,
the accused would have had no occasion to complain at all.
His wife would have been put in touch with the accused –
provided that she was indeed present at the ashram premises
at the relevant time.
But why I don‟t know, that ayyah did not accept our
call. After a short while, a sturdy and rough looking
young sannyasi came there on a two wheeler.
Shivananda received the two wheeler from him and
mumbled something to him. Shivananda then went
inside the peetam. The sannyasi approached us.
truth, the reality was that not a fly or crow could enter.
But some people belonging to that locality strongly said
that Nithyananda was very much inside the peeta.
She did not understand what I said. She said, “No, They
will not do that.” Who knows… A saamiyar who
preached brahmacharyam to the whole world, was
rolling in bed with an actress. Who knows what else
damage he would cause? Since I knew it was no point
talking to Avanthika anymore I called on a friend in

195. The Complainant has not earned Rupees 5000 Crores and to
further say that so much money was earned in a mere 5 years
is plainly derogatory and injurious to his good name and
reputation.
205. The Complainant does not entice anybody and the very
concept of enticement is not known to his style and manner
of propagation. The Complainant is fully aware of the fact that
a few youngsters cultivate a liking towards spirituality and
would pursue on their path much against the will of their own
parents. The Complainant would generally insist that parents
should consent to the act of their children enrolling
themselves for various volunteer services at ashrams
established by the Complainant.
The ashramites would not compel any one, but they will
strike a tour weak points. My friend is a famous writer.
His child has a problem. A variety of treatments could
not cure him. Somehow, getting hold of his address,
continuously letter have been going to him, stating,
„Swami will heal your child, come to Bidadi.‟
221. The Complainant has had a diverse devotee base from the
very inception and the goodwill of politicians would become
necessary to the Complainant if only the Complainant could
not secure his work through transparent channels. It is a
policy of the Complainant to secure all works in a transparent
manner and he therefore is in no need of special favours from
the government or from politicians whether from Tamil Nadu
or from elsewhere.
222. As to the work of translation that the accused are referring to,
it has been brought to the notice of the Complainant that the
accused insisted on volunteering his services for the benefit of
the Complainant and that most reluctantly, the Complainant
offered to the accused the work of translating certain books
from English to Tamil. As the accused has himself stated, the
accused was considered an important person by some of the
ashramites who had further wanted the accused to introduce
some big ticket politicians of Tamil Nadu to the Complainant.
If only that were so, it is surprising that the accused was also
subjected to some form of harassment from ashramites
asking the accused to do one thing or other.
“Why can‟t I throw you down and stamp you?” I felt like
asking her; but did not. On the contrary, I said, “If I
mention this to other editors, they will come to kick me
only”. But she did not understand what I said. Having
been brain washed, she kept saying the same thing
again and again.
I felt pity for the girl. Talk to any ashramite, they will
talk to you as if they have escaped from an asylum.
Actress Raga Sudha herself is an example for this. I
asked her a simple question, „When is swami returning
from the USA.?‟ Immediately, „ha ha ha ooh ooh ooh…. „

246. The devotees of the Complainant greet each other and the rest
of the world with whatever words they deem auspicious and
acceptable. It so happened that they chose the word
„Nithyanandam‟ for the said purpose. The word
„Nithyanandam‟ therefore represents the consensus between
devotees on how to address each other and the rest of the
world. If the accused were agitated at any point of time with
such manner of addressing, the accused ought to have
informed the devotees about their disapproval and the
devotees would have simply refrained from addressing the
accused in a manner that was not to their liking.
251. The certain individual that the accused have spoken about
might not even exist and if he does, the Complainant would
respectfully submit that no such hostility as the accused have
later described was visited upon such an individual.

what is the compensation for 1000 hours of my time
stolen from me at the rate of 18 hours a day for six
months? That is the story of the drudgery I suffered in
the Publication department of the ashram.
department that the accused had finished his task with the
proof reading of 32 pages thereat. Accordingly, the accused
was tendered a sum of Rs.30000 as a fair compensation for
the use of his time that was never sought by the publication
department in the first place.
281. The Complainant did not and would never commit any sexual
assault on any person far less a rape of a devotee. Therefore,
their repeated reference to Swami Premananda is simply
misplaced. As to an interview that was given to Kumudam
Reporter, it has already been stated that no such interview
was ever given by the Complainant to the accused or to any
other person in Kumudam Reporter. Their characterization
that the Complainant is beneath a fourth grade politician is
evidently injurious to his reputation. By expressing
displeasure at the fact that the Complainant was not arrested
or criminally prosecuted for acts that exist merely in their
imagination, the accused have committed a grave injury to
the reputation and character of the Complainant.

301. As such, their blatant lies have indeed sullied the reputation
of the Complainant. As to the possession of a wealth of Rs.
5000 Crores, their repeated claims that the Complainant has
amassed wealth to the tune of Rs. 5000 Crores are without
any basis. When such is the case, for the accused to ask a
question whether their own unfounded claims are valid is a
further defamation of the reputation and character of the
Complainant.
313. The accused clearly knew that the worshippers of the Hindu
gods always have unflinching devotion towards their idols. It
is not likely that somebody who holds much devotion to his
idols would take lightly to a false suggestion the accused have
112
314. At any rate, the accused have most blatantly committed the
defamation of the character and reputation of the
Complainant.
326. Further, when the accused state that the middle class have
coughed up the fee for Paada Pooja, the accused fail to realize
that neither at the relevant time nor at any point of time
thereafter, no person who had paid for the Paada Pooja had
sought the refund of the money paid by him or her. In and of
itself, the fact that the people who did actually expend money
have had no form of grievance against the Complainant
should have been noted by the accused. By presenting the
character of the Complainant in such false light, the accused
have deliberately damaged the reputation and character of
the Complainant.
344. The hostility of the accused is clearly evident when they state
that the Complainant ought to have killed himself in response
to staged outrages coming from their publication.

Author: Position of Author in the

365. Further, the allegation by the accused that the police were
not vigorously investigating the false allegations is thoroughly
false to their own knowledge. The police, both in the States of
Tamil Nadu and Karnataka had exhibited utmost sense of
urgency in pursuing and prosecuting the Complainant. As
such, their imputation against the Complainant is plainly
defamatory to his reputation and character.
131
But did the problem end with this? No. In pubs they
have a concession of free drinks for women on one day
of the week. During those days, a lot of women will
crowd the pubs. To see them, crowds of men will go to
the bars too. This is a business technique. (You might
have recently read a cover story about this in the
"Kumudam Reporter"). Knowing my friend's weakness,
and using the business technique used by pubs, an
indecent plan was being hatched to make him an
ashramite too.
382. The fact that the accused take exception to such acts merely
speaks to their own estimate of the worth of such labour. The
Complainant respectfully submits that there is inherent
dignity in every human labour and endeavour. The person
who persistently sweeps the floor and keeps it clean and
usable is rendering a valuable a service to the humanity to
the same extent as another person who writes for the benefit
of others. The Complainant does not recognize any inherent
distinction between the two classes of work.
386. Further, the alleged threat by the accused to Raga Sudha that
the accused will publish something about the Complainant in
the Malayalam papers is contrary to journalistic ethic and
profession. If there was improper conduct on the part of the
Complainant whereby some individual was compelled to take
the drastic step of committing suicide, the accused should
not have negotiated with an unconcerned person on whether
to fulfill their journalistic duty of reporting truth to their
readers. The Complainant respectfully submits that the fact
that the accused claim to have negotiated with Raga Sudha is
a fitting reminder to the manner in which the accused
discharge their journalistic obligation. It was not for Raga
Sudha or for any other person to decide their journalistic
content. Further, no such scolding as is attributed to the
Complainant did take place. As stated earlier, the entire chain
of events as narrated by the accused seems to have been
carefully concocted and fabricated by the accused for the sole
purpose of defaming the character and reputation of the
Complainant.
395. The Complainant has the greatest degree of faith in all of his
devotees and none of his devotees have done any such thing
as the accused have described in the aforesaid paragraphs.
407. As such, the reports by the accused are wholly distorted and
constitute a clear attempt on their part to defame the
character and reputation of the Complainant.
411. The accused were further bound to be aware of the fact that
the Karnataka Police did not indicate to the persons at the
ashram that they were seeking to arrest the Complainant. All
that the Karnataka police did at the relevant time was to visit
the ashram premises and to ask for whereabouts of the
Complainant. The Complainant was never made aware of any
intent by the police to arrest him. In fact, the Complainant
learnt much later that a notice to the effect that the police
were desperately seeking him was pasted outside his ashram
at Bidadi only on the morning of the day on which he was
arrested at Solan, Himachal Pradesh.
412. One of the reasons for the Complainant to have sought for
anticipatory bail was to address the persistent outrage by
some hostile journalists and their publications that the
Complainant had not been arrested. It was felt by the
Complainant that an effective method to address persistent
demands by some hostile journalists who were demanding the
arrest of the Complainant was to secure an anticipatory bail
153
422. The accused have clearly stated that the Karnataka High
Court had also rejected the anticipatory bail application of the
Complainant at the relevant time. The Complainant states
that the anticipatory bail application was not even applied for
at the relevant time in the Hon‟ble Karnataka High Court.
Box message:
Anivagukkumvazhakkugal…

As a coin has two sides, the other side of truth is lie, for
good it‟s bad, same way, for God it is Satan. From Jesus
to Adisankara everyone has told this. (The one who is
ghost is the sinner who kills people. Yowan: 8:44) Like
this only I got fooled by the Satan who is Nithyananda. I
started thinking that I want to become an ashramite by
the continuous request of the young girls from the
ashram. But there were some hurdles for it, because I
am a pure non-vegetarian. The only vegetarian food I
have is tea and coffee. Apart from that even in greens I
sprinkle little Chennangunni (a variety of fish) powder.
The girls from ashram said, „Its „ok‟ for you as swami
has said not to interfere in Ayya‟s food habits.‟
432. The Complainant further submits that if only the accused had
adopted a detached perspective that is so necessary for a
professional journalist, the accused would have realized that
it takes far more effort and pain to carefully write the word
„OM‟ on every book that is presented to the accused than to
merely write one‟s signature on each such book. The fact that
the accused could not notice such obvious aspect is clearly a
further proof that their journalistic orientation has been
thoroughly suppressed in their pursuit of hatred against the
Complainant. The accused could have simply done the

434. The Complainant further submits that he did not and could
not have signed his passport with the word „OM‟ simply
because a passport is a travel document and is not a religious
book to merit the word „OM‟. Being a travel document that is
issued by the Government of India, every passport insists on
the accurate affixation of one‟s signature. The Complainant
has accordingly placed his signature on his passport. It is
utterly defamatory on the part of the accused to have
formulated such fabrications as contained in the aforesaid
paragraphs.
435. Further, when the accused state that a passport officer would
visit a person to collect his signature, the accused have
demonstrated an absolute ignorance about the manner in
which a passport is procured in this country. No passport
officer is ever going to visit the doorstep of an applicant to
receive the signature of that applicant. Every applicant is
required to affix his signature on his application at a
designated spot and such signatures are thereafter detached
from the application form and pasted onto a passport. In case
of doubt or suspicion, a passport officer would summon the

449. The Complainant respectfully submits that the reason for him
to establish the Dhyanapeetam at Bidadi in the State of
Karnataka is purely rooted in spirituality and has nothing
whatsoever to do with the political parties in Karnataka or
Tamil Nadu. A certain banyan tree that is worshipped in the
Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam at Bidadi is a major incentive for
the Complainant to have established his ashram at that
region.
459. As such, their repeated disappointment with the fact that the
police did not arrest the Complainant sooner is a
disappointment that has as its source, ignorance and hostility
towards the Complainant. Further the Complainant
respectfully submits that he had not the slightest imagination
to flee the jurisdiction of India and to travel to a jurisdiction
beyond the extradition power of the Government of India.
When the accused state that the Complainant sought to
escape to a foreign country, the accused have committed an
irreparable defamation of the reputation and character of the
Complainant. As such, by stating lies and repeating those
very lies, the accused have committed a gross defamation of
the character and reputation of the Complainant.

event that the citizens of the United States find some Hindu
practices as offensive. As such, the Non Disclosure

178
482. Further, all applicable gold control laws have been thoroughly
honored by the Complainant at all relevant times and none of
his ashrams have ever been accused, let alone prosecuted, for
any offence under the gold control laws in force in India.
489. The accused might have written whatever they wanted but
the Complainant would not take benefit from anything that
the accused have chosen to write about him. Accordingly, by
imagining perverse conduct and character on the part of the
Complainant, the accused have committed an atrocious
defamation of his reputation and character.

You cannot see anything but love with the aghoris. But
with Nithyananda who says he is an aghori there is no

desire is of three varieties namely, desire for land
wealth, desire for women, desire for gold and other
wealth. Along with that nowadays you have to add
desire for fame. I who is just a man with ordinary
desires have given up three of the four desires. But for

country, one has to follow the rule and this is law. But,
for spiritual person, none of these laws are valid. How
that is possible? If judges, police officials and chief
ministers are falling at the feet of these spiritual
persons, who can go and enforce the law there? Who
will get that guts? You may ask now, Nithy is counting

are required to strictly adhere to a dress code and no person
violating such a dress code is allowed to remain in the

any of his devotees at any point in time. As such, by

CD was half true, half lies. Then after the forensic
investigators said everything on the CD is true, you
lied without your tongue feeling delicate, that
“Ranjitha and I were involved in spiritual research”. If
so, then the Devanathan who was having sex with

meditation techniques you introduced were stolen
from Osho. I can prove this with evidence. But when

commission of the defamation of the reputation and character
of the Complainant.
