Ram Temple
Fugitive rape accused Nithyananda says he will attend Ram Temple opening in Ayodhya on January 22
Self-styled godman Nithyananda, a fugitive in a rape case, has said he received an invitation to attend the grand opening of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya on Monday (January 22).
He said he will be attending the event.
On his Twitter handle, the self-styled godman wrote: "'2 More Days Until the Inauguration of Ayodhya Ram Mandir!' 'Don't miss this historic and extraordinary event! Lord Rama will be formally invoked in the temple's main deity during the traditional Prana Pratishtha and will be landing to grace the entire world!" he said.
" Having been formally invited, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM will be attending this grand event," he said.
Who is Nithyananda?
Nithyananda was arrested in 2010 in a rape case over a complaint filed by his driver in 2010.
He was later released on bail.
According to reports, the same driver claimed in 2020 that the self-styled godman has fled the country.
Nithyananda and Kaisala
He had created a fictional country named Kaisala.
Nithyananda’s 'Kailasa' derives its name from Mount Kailash in Tibet, which is considered a sacred site by Hindus. The place also has its own website which that was established as a haven for practicing, aspiring, or persecuted Hindus around the world.
According to Nityananda's X page, representatives of his fictional nation attended the World Economic Forum.:
