I wanted to like Nithyananda when I met one of his closer devotees, a very astute physician who was a challenging and well-informed debating opponent. This person has since left Nithyananda's org, along with a number of other close devotees, all around the same time. The reason my friend gave was that Nithyananda was pushing for the big-time at the expense of spiritual and organizational truth. The miracle-mongering and marketing became more important than the message. In fact, they've become the message in toto, imo.
Based on comments on the blog, there appears to be a growing anti-Nithyananda presence online. If anyone has anything pro or con to say about him, please feel welcome to doing so in this category.
