Nithyananda cult whistleblower. As seen on Discovery+ series My Daughter Joined a Cult, Dr. Phil, and all your fave cult pods, including A Little Bit Culty.
If your heart has turned to stone, worship a statue.
If you have the compassion, see your daughter in these dear faces.
They are being held against their will. The cult made them play along and pretend to be there of their own free will.
These are the goddess I pray for:
The fraud "Nithyananda" team is scrambling hard to try to get Discovery+ to cancel the show about their violent criminal cult. They are asking devotees to write letters to the network, calling this an "attack on Hinduism" and a "private family quarrel." They HATE being exposed.
@lifeveganized
Vegan ice cream, beyond burgers, vegan cheez, etc can be expensive. Vegan whole foods are super cheap and very healthy: rice, beans, legumes, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, etc. On a budget: processed "alternatives" are treats, whole foods are staples.
Nithyananda says, "Don't trust doctors. They only get paid if you remain sick." So why trust him? He only gets paid if you remain "incomplete!" I'm shocked that IA grads are now sitting at home, paying $20,000 USD to eat more of his crap...

season 2 is when Nancy Salzman says "I'm more mad at Sarah (Edmondson) than at Keith." THAT sums it up. She's more mad at the branded victim of his criminal cult than at him for abusing her.

I've been overwhelmed today with support from friends who have also left the Nithyananda cult, offering me encouragement and love in the face of another wave of character assassination. Thank you to everyone who reached out.
Cult Leader: Does bad things.
Cult Member: Is hurt by those bad things.
Ex-Cult Member: Becomes Truth Teller, blows whistle about bad things.
Cult Leader: Calls Truth Teller ABUSER.
Current Cult Members: Make false accusations that the Truth Teller is the one who did bad things.
I really wanted to see Nancy Salzman break through her wall of denial and deflection, but once again, we were left with strange, warped sorrow. "I can't believe the judge thinks I did that," rather than, "I can't believe I did that." I hope her therapy continues in prison...

Day 2 of binge watching The Vow, and every time it cuts to Raniere blabbering bullshit, I can't help but think, "Yep, Nithyananda said that, too, and that, and that..." It's like these malignant, narcissistic, predatory cult leaders all work from the same script.
Holy f*cking sh*t, it was worth getting HBO just to see The Vow. I can totally relate to that feeling of awe Mark Vicente described. I felt it towards

@markvicente
and
@sarahjedmondson
for making this so clear.
Smiling faces don't always mean happy lives. If you have a loved one in a cult and you're worried, but they post happy pictures and tell you their life is amazing, trust your intuition. In the Nithyananda cult, we were forced to smile for the camera, even after being abused.
Here's what my mom asked me before I spoke out against
#Nithyananda
:
"What would be worse? Getting attacked by the cult for telling the truth, or living comfortably, knowing that children cried to you about getting beaten but you did nothing?"
Was it a choice?
#IGotOut
#cult
If your guru instructs you to do black magic or curse someone for telling the truth, you have the right to say, "I didn't sign up for this." If he replies by saying, "You signed up for whatever I tell you to do because you surrendered to me," he is not a guru, just a cheap liar.
What NOT to do when faking your own death: Post a cryptic "Goodbye, world" message on Facebook, and assume you're off the hook for all your crimes. You're not getting off the hook that easily, Fraudananda.
#nithyananda
#cult
If I really was 'anti-Hindu,' would I be fighting so hard to save HINDU children from a pedophile guru? Would I risk my life to expose a cult that is, in fact, abusing Hinduism through neglect of cows in their so-called "goshala," and letting deities rot in their temple? Nope.
What would you do if you found out a fraud guru had sexually abused and beaten kids, but that if you went public, YOU would get falsely accused of rape to silence you?
THAT is why most go quiet after leaving
#Nithyananda
#cult
1. Ranjitha is not just having sex with Nithyananda, she is also his right hand. She is behind the false rape cases put against media and whistleblowers. She instructs female devotees and children to falsely accuse whoever she fears will expose the crimes of the cult.
To all who heard the unimaginably horrific leaked audio of a child getting beaten recently in Nithyananda Aadheeman: don't think Nithy is the only criminal involved. Ranjitha Menon, aka Ma Nithyanandamayi, gave the instruction through Pranapriya and Achala. They are all guilty.
If you've been following my story online, but don't know the full backstory about the fraud "guru" on whose crimes I've blown the whistle, I HIGHLY recommend the Vice docuseries My Daughter Joined a Cult on

Rumours abound that the fraud who calls himself Nithyananda has suffered a heart attack and is dead or dying. It's more likely he and Ranjitha have realized that their multiple crimes, including human trafficking, forced labour and child porn are catching up to them...
Of the 23 women pictured here, I know of only 6 that left the cult and went on with our lives. THIS is why I keep speaking out against the abuse, crimes and danger of

The fraud who calls himself Nithyananda (or whoever has taken control of his accounts if he's in a coma?) is now posting about the Johnny Depp win but skewed in the problematic favour that "women lie to defame men." No, Fraudananda... your victims are not lying.

#mydaughterjoinedacult
It made me think of those who came before: Aarthi, Lenin, Douglas and Vinay. They were the original whistleblowers and public victims of Nithyananda, and I do hope they also have this kind of encouragement for their years long fight against the criminal organization.

Random funny memory:

Brainwashing fuels the crimes of this cult. These are not free women speaking their truth; they are controlled women under the delusion that their fraud "guru" is Lord Shiva. Let's shift our focus a bit from the funny fake nation, to the horrific coercive control.

So impressed he is speaking up! Everything he said is 100% true. He's spot on and this spiritual ego thing is something I feel we've failed to address before. Nithyananda created a caste system within the cult, as well as "us against them" with sanyasis.
It's funny how a "journalist" lacks all investigative ability when it comes to the fraud who has brainwashed her. This is why justice is not coming to those abused by Nithyananda. People like her will support him to the bitter end.

Raniere's lawyer defending how they locked Daniela in a room for two years by saying, "Her successful father was on board with it; you have to ask why?" BECAUSE HE WAS BRAINWASHED BY KEITH. We need a law against undue influence. I predict similar crap at trial of Nithyananda.
Remember when
#Nithyananda
would tell us, "You are my extension, dear." That wasn't love, that was narcissist abuse. You are not the extension of anyone else. You are you. Anyone who thinks you are their extension is not your god, but your abuser.
I recently interviewed a survivor of the Vishwananda cult. Today, one of his ex followers sent me a message saying she is concerned for my safety. In my experience with Nithyananda, I've learned not to back down in the face of threats. Any thoughts?

@YouTube
: why were all of my videos about the cult of Nithyananda demonetized, while all of the Nithyananda cult's recruitment videos are earning them ad revenue? Is it your corporate policy to reward child abuses and punish those who try to save the kids?
#Nithyananda
cult is telling their brainwashed followers that I'm a Catholic agent bent on destroying Hinduism. To that end, they are publishing old photos of me with a fake bishop who tried to con me into being the face of his cult. (Which I denounced publicly in 2014, btw.)
Nithyananda told children to beat each other because in India, it's illegal for adults to beat kids, but not for kids to beat each other. I'd just like to point out: by ORDERING them to do the beatings, he was weaponizing them. Therefore, HE BEAT THEM through each other.
Just when I thought I had seen the craziest false accusation by Nithyananada cult, there's this: They are blaming my family for the mass murder of children in residential schools from the 1870s to 1950s. It's offensive to victims of genocide to use this to attack a whistleblower.
@HN_Global_Press
Sarah Landry's white supremacist, catholic family is responsible for killing, destruction, and cultural genocide of canadian indigenous traditions. Now she's repeating the same with other indigenous traditions.
This woman is one of the Ghislaine Maxwells of the Nithyananda cult. She forces underage girls to send nude photos to their "guru," orders people to beat kids, calls people bastards and prostitutes, then comes to Twitter to promote "self love."
Love Yourself
To share the gifts and possibilities that you inherently cherish, first step is to love yourself.
Best gifts that

One day, in a "courtyard session" in the Nithyananda cult, the fraud told me, "Swaroopapriya: if I wasn't holding you on my lap, you would be one more Teal Swan in the world." It's only now that I realize what a HUGE insult that actually was. 🤢😡
Absolutely! If
#Nithyananda
was actually innocent, people who leave him would just move on in life. The reason we keep crying out that he is a rapist, fraud, cult leader and dangerous psychopath is that we feel a need to stop others from being hurt the way he hurt us.

More elderly abuse in the Nithyananda campus: Pavitra is an elderly lady who has worked 24 hour shifts in the kitchen for years. When she tried to leave to get urgent medical help, Nithyananda denied the approval and was dragged out of the auto by her hair.
#arrestranjitha
Not just there even in kitchen they tortured shanta and literally sulked the life out of her. Even pavitra was denied medical help by achala upon nithi instruction and dragged out of auto by hair in bidadi gate
If anyone following nithyananda believes in him because of the "darshan fragrance" he claimed to radiate, here's a wake up call: go to your nearest perfume aisle, and sniff Burberry men's cologne. Ranjitha would douse him in it before every darshan. You're welcome.
#nithyananda
FYI to survivors of Nithyananda cult: there's a creepy troll who keeps making new accounts, pretending to be a survivor like us, making shit up, and trying to get attention. Beware new anonymous accounts, it could be "trishul team." DM me if you want to know what to look out for.
Nithyananda is not a Johnny Depp, he is a Keith Raniere. He is a Jeffrey Epstein. In our worst fears, he has the makings of a Jim Jones. Just because one woman made a false accusation against a man doesn't mean all women make false accusations against all men.
@NineDaves
LOL! I actually thought I saw Sarah Levy sitting behind the mom in the wedding sketch. I shouted TWYLA before realizing it was just a lookalike.
Whistleblowers are often harassed by questions implying we shouldn't be believed because our stories change. Please understand: what a brainwashed person says will definitely change as they wake up and deprogram!

Telling a victim of cult abuse to "just move on" is telling them their pain doesn't matter, and they should let their abuser continue to hurt other victims. This video answers the confused people who think speaking out is wrong.

7. Ranjitha is worse than a mafia wife; she is a mafia boss. Along with her absconding rapist fraud consort, she is responsible for beatings, false rape accusations, abuse of the judiciary to serve her sick agenda, impersonating a genuine sanyasi and countless cases of assault.
You can give the fraud Nithyananda $200,000 and he'll make you a deity in his temple! What a bargain! (Side effects may include being perpetually hit up for more money whenever he needs it, getting guilted and shamed for not giving more, being criminally implicated in his fraud.)
Thanks
@NEWS9
for emphasizing that downgrading a monster to a meme enables his crimes. I'm also hoping in future documentaries, the Bidadi and Ramanagara police will be questioned as to why they ignored our complaints.
#mydaughterjoinedacult
Gurukul girls dressed up on the morning of December 1st, 2017, at the ashram gates to welcome participants to a $16,000 program. One month later, when the program failed, these same kids were beaten and blamed for the failure. I want justice for these innocent kids.
#Nithyananda
One important question I wish the news media would ask in regards to the absconding rapist Nithyananda and his fake cult nation of Kailaasa is this: how is he allowed to live loose somewhere in the world when India has issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against him?
This lady could have done so much good for the victims of Nithyananda. As a journalist and a devotee of his, she has access to people who were raped, beaten, trafficked and robbed, but rather than be a voice for the victims, she continues to be an enabler of the abuser. Shame.

When she describes knowing the other women were telling the truth because of conversations she and Keith had that were the same, I immediately thought about the first time I read Vinay's rape case file against Nithyananda. Verbatim, Nithy told him the same lines he had told me.

Sarah is a victim of abuse by Nithyananda himself, she is a whistleblower who spent years living in his Ashram and tried to help others and today an open voice encouraging other victims to come out and speak up..She's the biggest threat to Nithyananda's existence!
March 13th: Wishing a crappy birthday to the fraud who calls himself "Nithyananda" and the late L Ron Hubbard, upon whose model he styled his cult. (Fun fact: Nithi tells disciples his birthday is December 1... possibly to forge documents? Or because he wants to be special?)
4. Ranjitha makes all the plans and strategies, from Nithyananda's appearance, (ever wonder why he abruptly started dressing like a Bollywood Shiva? That was her doing,) to who in the cult has to work in which department, to who can and can't speak to the "guru."
How scary. These people are still actively recruiting new members into the cult led by a fugitive who calls himself "Nithyananda." Don't be fooled by shiny jewelry and big smiles; it's a miserable life.
Hey
@SusanSarandon
: the fraud who calls himself "Nithyananda" is a rapist who fled India to escape trial. This violent con artist has swindled countless people, and criminally attacks whistleblowers. He is using you to con more innocents. Please retract your support.
#IGotOut
The fraud who calls himself
#Nithyananda
has sexually molested men, which is wrong. When I said this publicly, his brainwashed disciples accuse me of being against homosexuality. Get it right: I fully respect the LGBTQ community! What I am against is abuse of anyone, any gender.
2. Ranjitha is on the top of Nithyananda's pyramidal hierarchy. External devotees (living outside the ashram) all report to their temple admins, called "sri mahants," who all report to Ranjitha. Within the ashram, all approvals and requests go not to Nithyananda, but to her.
New interview coming tomorrow! As much as it breaks my heart to see so many wonderful women who were once my "sangha sisters" who are still in the destructive cult of nithyananda, I'm happy to know that at least 2 in this photo have their lives back.

I also want to point out that although Epstein died behind bars, his crimes against trafficked women didn't go away. Ghislaine Maxwell is in court and will no doubt spend the rest of her life paying for the role she played in the sex cult.

She describes Nippy's VALID, JUSTIFIED, CORRECT reaction to the discovery of his wife's branding as "a tantrum." Seriously. It's disturbing how much she fails to self-reflect and recognize the role she played in enabling the abuse, recruiting into the cult and victim shaming.
Nithyananda cult survivors who endured the torture of "prayas chitta," I highly recommend you listen to Chris Shelton describe RPF. It's like Nithy based his punishment labour camps on the Scientology model... it can be healing to know it wasn't just us and others got through it.

I lost my gold bracelet in the field behind my house, so my dear boyfriend bought a metal detector and found it for me! I'm feeling like the luckiest girl in the world. Just wanted to share this happiness with anyone leaving a cult, wondering if life ever gets better. It does.
3. Ranjitha has a violent temper. She throws objects at people who displease her, slaps them, shouts for hours on end, and gets very personal with her insults. Her mean streak is notorious among all insiders, who must grovel at her feet just to survive. "Sorry, Akka. Yes, Akka."
If anyone who follows me on Twitter still has friends or relatives in the cult of "Nithyananda," please, please, don't let your loved one travel to "Kailasa." The cult leader has already told disciples it's better to die for Shiva than live when he is insulted, and I fear a Waco.
My next video will address this issue: why currently brainwashed people getting "triggered" by whistleblowers is actually cognitive dissonance fighting off reality; it's aside effect of the harm caused by the abuser who brainwashed them, and they are in need of psychological help
I take offence to the misconception that "cults are easy escapes for people who can't handle real life." Tell that to Ma Shivarupa, who once told me it was easier to run the marketing department for Microsoft under Bill Gates, than to run the Vision Team under Nithyananda.
