sir,

Look at the way Paramacharya lived, at the way Seshadri swamigal lived, at the
way Shirdi Sai Baba lived. This is what we expect from Jnanis. Sri Adi Sankara
gives a beautiful description of a Jivan muktha in Viveka choodamani.

But, not all sanyasis are Jnanis. Some are genuine seekers whilst others have
converted it into a source of income and luxury.

Alas !. People fall an easy prey to the latter.

Exellent point indeed.

We have a multi-dimensional problem. On one hand we have people engaged in Swami business.
They do provide comfort to their audience, otherwise they cannot stay in business.

We also have an active campaign by powerful and well funded organizations of the two aggressive religions.
They have staked out India and due to their theologies do not think it is harmful to destroy ancient civilizations to convert people.
If the current trend continues supported by many educated, West-worshiping-Indians who in the name of being liberal do not care what is going on, then India will not be what it is in 50 to100 years dominated by warring religious people.

Nithyananda who I think is a NB had huge influence on many around the world. His Youtube lectures had so many visits that I am told they contacted them to offer some better way to show up in searches (in return for money of course). Such events also does not sit well with those staking out India for conversion. Some of the charges trumped up are funded by these external organizations I am sure.

That is why it is important in my view to not kill his organization but find a way to not allow him to denigrate symbols of a Sannyasi while doing his business.

Nithyananda was a good antidote to zealots who are seriously investing in conversion.

Just a point of view, please do critique!
