Swami Nithyananda is an international fugitive and cult leader. Once very popular in India, his star began to dim when accusations surfaced of illicit sexual relationships, bisexuality, rape, child abduction and even murder. His fanaticized followers once beat up the man in the clip above, Canadian national Henri Jolicoeur, when he asked impertinent questions to their "avatar". The incident was even reported in the Indian press.
And speaking of incidents...
The article linked to below tells the bizarre story (which broke earlier this year) about how the city of Newark in New Jersey was scammed by Nithyananda´s dwindling band of faithful. They have also tried to infiltrate UN conferences, always under the cover of the fictitious nation of Kailasa (evidently named after Shiva´s holy mountain Kailash).
