Moral High Ground
In other news, the so called ‘Swami’ Nithyananda has denied his involvement in the scandal. He has appealed to his ‘Followers‘ (No offence meant ) not to panic and that he will come out clean. Ok, this is called Self-Defence. Fine.
But, he goes on to say that LEGALLY HE HAS NOT COMMITTED ANY CRIME!!! Well, this doesn’t make any sense to me. Isn’t this a pathetic excuse? Even if he is legally clean, then on what moral grounds will he preach people to lead a spiritual life? Does that mean he will quit this money-minting profession?
And the word on the street is that his ‘Ashram’ in Bangalore was raided by the officials from the IT dept and the Forest dept. It seems a lot of unaccounted assets have been unearthed and loads of banned animal products were found there. So, if these claims are validated, he will be behind the bars.
My question is why it took this long for those officials to react. They would have known that animals were being poached and money-laundering was going on. But only after he got his name in the wrong news, the action has been taken. WHY? This question will never be answered!!!
You are quite right about the issue of the swami on CD being one of morality. Further, he has asked for some time for him to collect evidence against the falsity of the charges. But why the need to collect evidence against the charges when all he has to do is to say categorically that he has not had sex with anyone. If he is unable to do that, he is going to be suspected of wrong-doing - whether legal or not. Anyway, the last word on the subject has not been said. The swami may still redeem himself.

Exactly!!! And even though it cannot be ruled out, there is little chance that he can redeem himself, considering the hue and cry surrounding the issue
