Bangalore, March 30: Nityananda, who was purportedly caught in a sleazy video footage, today announced his decision to resign as head of his Dhyanapeetam ashram and from all trusts associated with it, living a life of “spiritual seclusion” for an indefinite time.
“I have decided to live a life of spiritual seclusion, for some indefinite time….and to enable the Dhyanapeetam to function with such amended agenda as may be necessary, I am resigning as the head of the Dhyanapeetam and from all the trusts associated with it,” he said addressing his followers on his official website.
“In view of the developments in the last three weeks following the media reports about me as the head of Dhyanapeetam, (located at Bidadi near Bangalore), I had met some of the leading acharyas of Hindu Dharma at Haridwar Kumbh Mela,” Nityananda, facing criminal cases, including that of rape, said.
