The broadcast of a sex tape showing Swami Nithyananda and Tamil actress Ranjitha last year caused outrage among his followers who rioted near his ashram retreat near Bangalore, Karnataka.

Nithyananda, 32, has built an international following for his 'Life Bliss' programme of yoga and meditation with devotees in Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, Guadeloupe and Singapore.




The programme takes followers through a 'death experience' for rebirth into a 'new life.' His youthful good looks and charismatic style brought vast wealth to his organisation and personal fame and celebrity, with television appearances throughout India and the world.

But his supporters felt betrayed when the sex tape was broadcast onIndia's Sun Television channel, portraying him as 'impure'.

Ranjitha denies she is the woman featured in the video and says she is the victim of a smear campaign

A police investigation brought further allegations of sexual abuse within his ashram and claims of financial impropriety.

According to the Midday newspaper, Nithyananda told detectives he was approached by a journalist last year who told him he had video footage of him with the film actress and threatened to release it to the media if he did not pay him more than £3.5 million. He told detectives the demand was reduced to £1.4 million in negotiations and that the money was paid by one of his followers.

According to detectives, he told them he had had sex with up to 20 of his devotees and had won over many followers by hugging them. He said his success in attracting non-Hindus had caused some resentment.

In a video message to his supporters, Swami Nithyananda said he had been the victim of a smear campaign, but had not done anything illegal

after he failed to appear before it on the day of his sentencing. 

In a statement, Hays County Sheriff's office said it was on the lookout for Prakashanand Saraswati, known to his devotees as Shree Swamiji and is head of the 200-acre Hindu ashram in Texas, after the arrest warrant was issued against him.  Last week, the Texas court convicted in all of the 20 counts following charges by two women Shyama Rose, 30, and Vesla Tonnessen Kazimer, 27, alleging that Prakashanand tried to exploit them on numerous occasions over the course of several years, beginning when they were as young as 12. 

The two lived in the campus of the ashram along with their other family members.  After Prakashanand failed to appear before the court for more than an hour after the scheduled appointment yesterday, District Judge Charles Ramsay not only issued an arrest warrant against him, but also revoked his USD 1 million bond.  Laurie Bain, the Sheriff's office spokesperson said Prakashanand was believed to be in the company of a woman named Vishwambhari Devi and appealed to residents to contact the office on any information about his whereabouts.  Since the court is having his passport, it is unlikely that he left the country.  "Prakashandand failed to appear in court at which time two felony warrants were issued and signed by Judge Ramsay for Failure to Appear. Deputies of Hays County are actively searching for Prakashandand in attempt to execute the warrants," Bain said.  There was no immediate response to the several phone calls and the email sent to Aman Agrawal, spokesman of Barsana Dham, seeking their statement on the issue.  Spread over 200 acres of sprawling campus south of Austin, Barsana Dham, established by Prakashanand in 1990, is one of the largest Hindu temples in the United States.  Prakashanand also has several charity works in India. "We have not located our client. We don't know the reason for his absence," Jeff Kearney, lead attorney for Prakashanand, was quoted as saying by the American Statesman newspaper.  The sentencing has been rescheduled for today. "Swamiji was very ill over the weekend," Rich Parsons, a spokesman for Barsana Dham, was quoted as saying. 

Prakashanand Saraswati, the Hindu guru who last week was convicted of molesting two girls who grew up on the Barsana Dham ashram he founded, did not show up Monday for the punishment phase of his trial. He is considered missing and his bail has been revoked and an arrest warrant has been issued. He had been living in this house located at 121 Woodland Drive in Driftwood, Texas, which is just south of the ashram.

"We're continuing to try to find him," he added.

On Friday evening, a Hays County jury convicted Prakashanand Saraswati of molesting two girls in the mid-1990s while they were growing up on the ashram near Driftwood that he founded.

By Monday morning, he was gone.

Released on a $1 million cash bond, the 82-year-old Prakashanand, known to his Hindu devotees as Shree Swamiji, failed to show up for the punishment phase of his trial, scheduled to begin Monday morning in San Marcos.

After waiting for an hour, District Judge Charles Ramsay ordered the guru's bond revoked and a warrant issued for his arrest. He had already revoked Prakashanand's U.S. passport in October.

"We have not located our client; we don't know the reason for his absence," said Jeff Kearney, Prakashanand's Fort Worth-based lead attorney.

Prakashanand was found guilty of 20 counts of indecency with a child by sexual contact based on the accounts of Vesla Tonnessen Kazimer , 27, and Shyama Rose , 30, who testified that the guru kissed and fondled them when they lived at Barsana Dham as young girls. Each count carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

The guru's disappearance led to immediate speculation that he had fled the country, possibly using a passport from India, where he keeps a second home. But "we have no information about an Indian passport," Hays County District Attorney Sherri Tibbe said. Immigration attorneys said India does not permit dual citizenship.

A sheriff's department spokeswoman testified in court that the guru was last seen Saturday evening at a Driftwood home owned by one of his devotees; however, other reports said he did not disappear until Sunday evening.

Spokesmen for Barsana Dham said they had no idea where he was.

"I have no information," said Aman Agrawal, an ashram member who has issued statements in the past.

"Swamiji was very ill over the weekend," said Rich Parsons, a hired spokesman for Barsana Dham. "We're continuing to try to find him."

By Monday afternoon, the Hays County sheriff's department didn't know much more. Lt. Jeri Skrocki said that after learning the guru had disappeared, deputies contacted every hospital in San Marcos, Austin and New Braunfels. None had seen the guru, who has been using a wheelchair since he underwent back surgery a little over a year ago.

She added no missing persons report had been filed. Prakashanand's longtime personal assistant, Vishwambhari Devi , was nowhere to be found, either.

The car that had been used to drive the guru to and from the trial, a blue Lexus with personalized license plates, remained parked at the Embassy Suites hotel in San Marcos, where Prakashanand had been staying during the two-week trial.

The money that Barsana Dham and its devotees stand to lose as a consequence of the guru's disappearance could be considerably more than the $1 million cash bond forfeited on Monday.

In May 2008, a month after Prakashanand was arrested while getting off a plane in Washington, a devotee named Peter Spiegel guaranteed a $10 million personal bond in exchange for the court agreeing to return the guru's passport so he could travel abroad to other temples, primarily in India.

"I have known Shree Swamiji for 24 years, and the accusations against him are false," Spiegel said at the time. "Anyone who knows Swamiji well would have done the same thing."

Spiegel, a managing member of Barsana Dham's parent organization, earned his money primarily through direct marketing and infomercials for products such as Abflex and Miracle Blade knives. He lives in both Texas and California.

In October, Prakashanand's passport was revoked after prosecutors argued that he was traveling widely while seeking delays in his criminal case because of poor health. Yet Spiegel's agreement to guarantee the guru's presence in court was never altered, Tibbe said.

Spiegel did not answer calls to his cell phone.

Tibbe cited the $10 million assurance as a reason prosecutors agreed to release Prakashanand on Friday evening after his conviction. She also noted that until Monday the guru had attended every hearing, that he is elderly and in frail health, and that he had no passport.

Prosecutors asked Ramsay to conduct the punishment phase of the trial in Prakashanand's absence, but Ramsay sent the jury home and ordered it to reconvene this morning .

Initial chemistry is the spark that fuels a relationship, but that spark doesn't always ignite for all the right reasons. Attraction is, to many of us, a mystery. How is it that qualities that led us to a person in the first place, can later repel us so strongly and lead to problems down the line? How does that cool confidence that once made us swoon turn into the soul crushing aloofness that distances us from a loved one? How does that first adorable hint of jealousy snowball into full-blown insecurity and dependence?

In my previous blog, "Why You Keep Winding Up in the Same Relationship" I explored this mystery, addressing why we often repeatedly choose similar partners and end up in the same unsatisfying or unsuccessful unions. How are we supposed to know when our attractions should be warning signs? What qualities should we steer away from when we don't even know a person yet? Here I want to address some of these questions and propose a way out of the patterns that lead us to choose the wrong partners so that we can establish relationships with the right ones.

Identify Your Pattern

We don't always fall for someone simply because their positive qualities compliment our own but also because their negative traits fit ours so well. Therefore, the first thing to do when entering into a relationship (or improving one, for that matter) is to take a look at yourself and at the history of your relationships. What are the qualities that you typically look for in a partner? Are there certain negative qualities that always seem to show up and eventually drive you crazy? Do you have a pattern of choosing a person with specific traits, only to end up dissatisfied with them? Do your relationships seem to always break up for the same reasons?

Hindu guru claims homosexuality can be 'cured' by yoga

The world's most popular Hindu guru, Swami "Baba" Ramdev, has claimed homosexuality can be "cured" by yoga in a petition to India's Supreme Court.

By Dean Nelson, South Asia Editor 6:09PM BST 08 Jul 2009

The television guru whose yoga programmes are watched by an estimated 85 million people throughout the world, made the claim in an appeal to the overturn a ruling last week which legalised homosexuality.

He has warned he will launch nationwide protests if the ruling is not struck down and said all of India's main religions regarded homosexual acts as sins.

In his petition, he argued that homosexuality was a curable disease and that sufferers could seek a cure.

"It can be treated like any other congenital defect. Such tendencies can be treated by yoga, pranayam and other meditation techniques," he said.

Pranayam are a series of breathing exercises which include hyperventilation, a slow release of breath while chanting "Om".

His followers have said there are particular yoga positions which also help prevent sexual urges.

The overturning of India's law criminalising homosexuality was welcomed by India's gay community and by campaigners, including several leading designers and Bollywood stars.

But it was condemned by Muslim, Christian and Hindu leaders in India.

Baba Remdev, who counts senior government ministers among his devotees, issued a particularly strong response. In his petition he compared homosexuals to "other anti-social groups", and said legalisation would have a "negative effect" on the young, while increasing the prevalence of HIV/Aids.

"These are unnatural acts not designed for human beings. The decision of the High Court, if allowed to sustain will have catastrophic effects on the moral fabric of society and will jeopardise the institution of marriage itself. This offends the structure of Indian value system, Indian culture and traditions, as derived from religious scriptures," it said.

Swami Ramdev remains extraordinarily popular despite a number of controversies surrounding his own ayurvedic medicines. In 2006, a leading Communist MP claimed laboratory tests revealed human and animal remains in his herbal treatments. Other tests supported his denial, but the popularity of his medicines grew regardless.

He has also drawn criticism for his claims that yoga and ayurvedic medicines can ease the symptoms of HIV/Aids and cure cancer.

His petition was filed as gay activists extended their campaign for equality in other areas of social life. A young couple in Haryana defied their families to stage India's first gay wedding in a Hindu temple.

Once you recognize a pattern, you have something that you can work with. By figuring out how you go about ending up with the same objectionable partner in every relationship, you will know what to do to break this cycle. With each choice you make and action you take in a relationship, it's important to have a good sense of what is operating within you that's motivating your behavior.

Take Chances

When it comes to love, it is advisable to not only go into it with your heart; but to go into it with your head. That way, instead of automatically selecting the same type of person for the same negative traits, you can try selecting a partner who is entirely different. For instance, if you grew up feeling invisible or ignored, you may avoid someone who shows a real interest in you. Instead, you may feel more attracted to someone who is distant or withholding of affection.

You can consciously decide to be open to the possibility of being with someone who is different from the people you typically choose, for example, someone who expresses a strong attraction to you. This change will most likely cause you to feel somewhat ambivalent. However, because you have identified your pattern, you can be aware of the negative factors influencing your decision. Perhaps your disinterest in this person may be largely motivated by the very interest that he/she is showing in you.

When you consciously choose to break a pattern, you can establish a better relationship with a better, albeit unfamiliar, outcome. If you hang in there, and give this out-of-the-ordinary person a chance, you can become accustomed to this out-of-the-ordinary relationship. Yours could be one of those stories of friends who fall in love or unlikely seeming couples who live happily together.

If you are in a relationship, and you recognize that it is heading toward the same negative outcome as past relationships, you can stop the momentum and avoid another tragic ending. You and your partner are most likely collaborating in creating the negative dynamics in your relationship. Not only is he/she the same kind of person you always end up with, it is most likely that you are the same kind of person he/she ends up with, too. Even though there are real qualities we love and admire in the people we choose to become romantically involved with, we must consider that each of us is also making sure that thenegative baggage we each carry fits nicely into one another's undeveloped emotional compartments.

Talk with your partner about how your patterns of relating fit together and about how you may be playing out dynamics from your pasts with each other. As you discuss how they play out in your relationship, you will each have ideas of behaviors you can challenge and recognize that your relationship is not doomed. Remember that, in any relationship, you are going to face your own limitations as well as those of another human being. The better you know yourself and your partner knows him/herself, the stronger you will both be in dealing with these limitations. You can both evolve and grow in the relationship. As you each challenge yourselves and give up your old negative identities, you will discover new aspects of yourself and of your partner.

Listen to Your Friends

A helpful way of determining whether a strong attraction or a lack of interest is based on your true state of mind or elements of your past is to trust your friends. They tend to be much more objective about you. A friend of mine turned down her now-boyfriend for a full year because, according to her, he just wasn't her type. When her friends met him, they were struck by what a nice guy he was and by how much he liked her. They encouraged her to be more open-minded and give him a chance. She decided to trust their advice, and accepted a date with him. This move turned out to be the biggest hurdle in her relationship; from there she went on to develop a relationship that was meaningful and loving.

Don't Listen to Your Inner Coach

You can stop paying attention to the inner coach that predicts a negative outcome for your relationship, and promotes a negative view of you and your partner. You can ignore it when it is critical of you and when it distorts and exaggerates any of your partner's shortcomings. This negative way of thinking, or "critical inner voice," directs us to recreate the emotional environment we grew up in. If, as children, we were neglected, it warns us that we are going to be rejected. If we were intruded on, it tells us that a loved one is demanding of us. In almost no area is this coach as loud or tough on us than in our intimate relationships.

Think of your inner coach as an old dialogue that was scripted in your past and plays out in your current life. The goal of this voice is maintain a comfortable and familiar, yet highly negative view of yourself and your partner. Even when you're with a partner you like, your inner critic operates to push them away, a topic I covered in a blog for Psychology Today, "It's Not You, It's Me: The Truth Behind the Excuse." By challenging your inner coach, you can maintain an objective and compassionate view of you and your partner.

One friend of mine tends to choose men who are financially unstable and literally need to be supported. At one point she told me, "I've never been with a man who paid his taxes!" She describes herself as a "Daddy's Girl" who idealized her father. Her father instilled in her the importance of working and taking care of herself, despite the fact that he went bankrupt several times and even served time in jail for tax evasion. To break her pattern of choosing financially dependent men, my friend began dating someone who had a successful career, and was kind and generous to her.

She was enjoying their relationship, but at times she found herself having intensely critical thoughts. "What are you doing with this creep? He's doting on you now but what good are you to him? He'll probably get tired of you and leave you." Her inner critic ridiculed her relationship and tore her boyfriend down. Fortunately, she used her friends as a sounding board and listened when they told her that her attacks on herself and criticisms of her boyfriend were ridiculous. She chose to ignore her inner critic and took advantage of the opportunity to develop a relationship that is characterized by mutual respect, appreciation and love for one another.

Hang In There

Change takes work and time, so be patient and hang in there. Personal change also benefits from support. There is so much to sort through in trying to understand the dynamics in a relationship. First there is what each person is bringing to the union, and then there is what is at play between them as a couple. That is why therapy is helpful for people who are challenging themselves and wanting to create better relationships.

It is possible to achieve this goal on your own but it is advisable to accept all the help you can get from friends and family members as well as from a therapist. Giving up on being able to have a close relationship is a terrible solution; it guarantees that you will never get what you want. You are siding with a critical inner voice that you don't deserve anything or you don't need anyone in your life. Aligning yourself with this cynical self-protective process is a form of self-denial that limits your life. It is better to love and get hurt than to never love at all. When you hang in there and challenge your pattern of negative relationships, you will be rewarded by getting to know yourself and your partner in a new way, in the context of a loving and meaningful relationship.
