GRABBING OF NITHYANANDA ASHRAM PROPERTY: DEVOTEES SUBMIT PETITION Over 100 devotees of Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam have today approached the SP (Salem-Rural)and submitted a petition toagainst the attempts made by an individual named Gunasekharan to grab the ashram property at Seeragappadi near Salem in Tamil Nadu. The petition was submitted by the volunteer administrators of the ashram, including Chenna Krishnan, Selvam, Shaktivel, Selvakumar, R R Kannan & others. They are also respondents in the false case filed by Gunasekharan on 3rd November this year, accusing Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam of grabbing the property from him. SEERAGAPPADI ASHRAM Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam's Seeragappadi branch ashram is built on a 50 cents property which was sold to NIthyananda Dhyanapeetam by Gunasekharan in 2006 via a valid sale deed (document attached). Over the years, the ashram has grown to be a community center and spiritual hub for the village. Every day, villagers are gathering there for yoga, meditation and worship. Free yoga and meditation classes are being conducted there. The ashram was performing daily annadaanam (free food) for the villagers, visitor and sadhus. It is notable that even wandering Jain monks choose to come & stay in this ashram during their travels. Ashram volunteers are also conducting marriages, ear-piercing and other ceremonies free of charge for the villagers. Many such activities benefiting the community are being performed in the ashram regularly.
