Fugitive godman Nithyananda declares his own 'Hindu nation Kailaasa': Report

New Delhi: Even as Gujarat Police are on the lookout for rape accused self-styled godman, Nithyananda, a website named Kailaasa.org has come up suggesting that he has founded his own country and designed its flag, constitution and emblem.

A website hosted by his ashram claimed that the island, named ‘Kailaasa’, is a Hindu nation with its own flag, passport and emblem.

The website says that the fugitive self-styled godman has declared a ‘Hindu sovereign nation’ and even has a cabinet along with a prime minister for his so-called nation “Kailaasa”.

The symbols on the passport include the flag of Kailaasa, called Rishabha Dhvaja, and features Nithyananda along with Nandi, Lord Shiva’s mount.

According to cyber experts, the website was created on October 21, 2018 and it was last updated on October 10, 2019. The website has been registered in Panama with its IP located in US’s Dallas.

The website claims that Kailaasa is a nation without borders created by dispossessed Hindus from around the world who lost the right to practice Hinduism authentically in their own countries.

“Though the Kailaasa movement is founded in the United States, and spearheaded by members of the Hindu Adi Shaivite minority community, it is created for, and offers a safe haven to all the world’s practicing, aspiring or persecuted Hindus, irrespective of race, gender, sect, caste, or creed, where they can peacefully live and express their spirituality, arts, and culture free from denigration, interference and violence,” it read.
