- 163. On 23 Oct 2015, in Thiruvarur, Tamil Nadu, the neo-Hindutva extremists who had unlawfully encroached on the Thiruvarur ASMT temple (Sri Somanatha Swami Mutt and Temple) and were misusing the temple property, attacked an ASMT monk who was running the temple. The attackers gave a verbal threat to kill him and left. The police recorded a non-cognizable CSR report (Community service register).
- 164. On 27 Oct 2015, Thiruvarur, around 8 am, a female ASMT monk Ma Nithya Jyotikananda Swami was attacked by neo-Hindutva terrorists who molested her, inappropriately took pictures of her, and attempted to rape her inside the temple premises. As she shouted people gathered to protect her and the attackers escaped. After the incident, she went to the police station and cried and begged the Superintendent of Police for protection. Despite being shown photographic evidence of the attack the Superintendent of Police refused to accept her complaint, and on the contrary, accepted a false complaint filed by her attacker over the telephone without even demanding his physical presence or any evidence. Ma Nithya Jyotikananda Swami ran from one office to another.
She went to the Deputy Superintendent of Police, who remarked, "O you THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM people" and refused to register any complaint. She cried to him for protection addressing him as an elder brother showing her injuries, upon which he finally took pity and registered an FIR dated 27 October 2015. This did not remedy the situation. As of 2021, the case was disposed of without fair trial and her attackers are roaming freely.
- 165. 7 Nov 2015, Nagapattinam, to stop the interference in the management of the atheist and neo-Hindutva extremists, the ASMT community filed a petition in the Nagapattinam sub-court through OS 90/2015. The petition prayed for an injunction to restrain neo-Hindutva extremists from encroaching the temple land and attacking the ASMT members. 21 Nov 2015, the court passed a temporary order (IA 348/2015) in favor of the ASMT community, handing the possession to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM on 8 January 2016 till the suit gets over. This did not remedy the situation.
- 166. 26 Nov 2015, Thiruvarur, 10 AM, an ASMT monk, and a community member were physically assaulted by 10 militants. The injured received emergency treatment at the government hospital in Tiruvarur. The police registered a complaint. This did not remedy the situation.
- 167. 27 Nov 2015, Vedaranyam, Sri Po.Ka. Sadhukkal Mutt (monastery), a group of 10-15 militants forcibly entered into the monastery, taking count of the people and stock of the items in the temple property. Following this fifty more militants barged in and started brutally beating the ASMT monks, Sri Nithya Yogamayananda and Sri Nithya Jnanaprabhananda with iron rods. The militants sacrileged ASMT Hindu Deities and religious altars of the monastery. The militants lifted the heavy furniture, vessels and smashed these on the heads and bodies of the monks. Almost unconscious the monks were dragged to the street, where they continued to be beaten in front of a huge mob that had gathered around and watched the beating with bystander's apathy. One of the monks, Sri Nithya Yogamayananda had recorded the attack. The militants having realized it, chased him for more than a kilometer as he nearly escaped being mob lynched. The monks were given no ambulance or assistance by the State or civil society and had to seek even basic humanitarian first aid on their own by admitting themselves to the government hospital. The monks gave a police complaint which was rejected by the police. Only after much persistence, the police agreed to receive the complaint.
- 168. On Dec 6, 2015, Thiruvarur, anti-Hindu atheists uploaded a media report vilifying the ASMT community and glorifying the forceful eviction of the ASMT monks from the Sri Somanatha Swami Mutt (monastery) and Temple, Thiruvarur. The monks were seen in the video showing to the police and the media the court order from 7 Nov 2015 (to OS 90/2015), which established them as the rightful administrators of the temple. In Bharat, court orders are neither respected nor
implemented by the government. The police, the media, and the militants paid no heed to the court order, and together forcibly evicted the monks from their temple. To shame the ASMT monks, the militants who had attacked the monks uploaded the footage of eviction on Youtube and hatefully commented how they assaulted the monks, inciting hatred and violence against the community especially targeting the female monks.
- 169. 8 Dec 2015, Thanjavur, with the pretext of executing the Nagapattinam court order (OS 90/2015) the Tahsildar (Executive Magistrate) called for a meeting between the ASMT monks of the SPH and the neo-Hindutva militants who had captured the temple. The neo-Hindutva militants did not show up and refused to hand over the keys to the monastery. The Tahsildar (Executive Magistrate) did not execute the court order and adjourned the meeting until the next court hearing. The ASMT monks were unable to enter their temple, despite court orders favoring them. The neo-Hindutva terrorists and the government officials colluded to ensure that the meeting never took place and never achieved the intention for which it was supposedly called for. Again, on 16 Dec 2015, the extremist elements refused to hand over the keys to the monastery. The government officers accepted this and disregarded the court order.
- 170. 8 Jan 2015, Tanjore, The neo-Hindutva extremists, and atheist terrorist forces started to brutally attack the ASMT monks and violently beat them to vacate them from the property thereby denying THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM to continue the spiritual administration of the monasteries. The first attack was in the Tanjore Palsamy mutt. The terrorist forces had sent a mob of 20 assassins armed with iron rods, wooden rods, and iron chains. They beat an ASMT member, Sri Nithyasthananda brutally till he collapsed. They then dragged him out of the mutt (monastery) and left while he was still helpless and bleeding. Nithyasthananda, with his head bleeding, pulled himself together and went on his own to the hospital. The police registered a complaint but refused to act on it.
- 171. 16 Feb 2016, Madras High Court, the neo-Hindutva extremists, and atheist terrorists filed a Civil Revision Petition (CRP) challenging the Nagapattinam Original Suit OS90/2015 interim ordering preventing them from interfering in the administration of the mutts by the followers of the SPH.
- 172. 29 Feb 2016, Thiruvarur, The Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO) of Thiruvarur called for a meeting and convinced the ASMT members to hand over the key to her. She reasoned that to maintain the peace between ASMT members and the anti-Hindu elements, the best thing to do was for the office to hold the key in possession till the revised petition in High Court concluded. Placing their full trust in the government and the government office, ASMT members handed over the key to the RDO.
- 173. 29 Jun 2017, Madras High Court, Further, The High Court Judicature Of Madras on the appeal in the form of CRP by the neo-Hindutva extremist forces passed a clear order on 29th June 2017 unequivocally establishing the Right of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM over the 5 mutts as the Pontiff and as the Spiritual administrator of the mutts and their properties.
- 174. 7 Jul 2017, Tanjore, Thiruvarur, Vedaranyam, Representatives of ASMT Community sent a petition to the police and other relevant government officers to give protection to enter the mutt. This was to avoid any unwanted attack or bloodshed by the anti-Hindu elements.
- 175. 26 Jul 2017, Thiruvarur, After obtaining the High Court order favoring the ASMT community, when members of the community approached the RDO, they realized how she (RDO) had been colluding with the local neo-Hindutva extremists and atheist terrorist forces from the beginning, as she refused to return the keys to ASMT members, who are the rightful owners. Instead, she had allowed the anti-Hindu elements to enter the mutt illegally, being fully aware of the Nagapattinam sub-court order and the Madras High Court Order. Till now, despite being backed up by the court orders, The SPH and ASMT members are not able to carry out the rituals or services or revival of the mutt.
- 176. 5 Aug 2017, Vedaranyam, The Government officers continued to work against court orders as the RDO canceled the meeting by being absent.
- 177. 12 Aug 2017, Tanjore, The Government officers continued to work against orders. The RDO, Tahsildar, and other Officers gave the excuse that they would not execute the court order as the opposing criminal elements were absent from the Peace meeting.
- 178. 12 Aug 2017, Vedaranyam, The Government officers continued to work against orders. The RDO, Tahsildar, and other Officers gave the excuse that they would not execute the court order as the opposing criminal elements were absent from the Peace meeting.
- 179. 19 Aug 2017, Tanjore, The Government officers continued to work against orders. The Tahsildar intentionally was absent from the meeting to create another excuse to postpone and never execute the court order.
- 180. 22 Aug 2017, Vedaranyam, The Government officers continued to flaunt court orders and intentionally create obstacles while pretending to execute them. The Vedaranyam RDO concluded the peace meetings citing the absence of the opposite party as the reason.
- 181. 26 Aug 2017, Tanjore, The Government officers continued to flaunt court orders and intentionally create obstacles while pretending to execute them.
- 182. 30 Apr 2019, Vedaranyam, The HR&CE passed an illegal order to bring the Sri Po.Ka. Sadhukkal Mutt in Vedaranyam under their control. This is against the interim injunction passed by the Nagapattinam Sub-court through IA 348/2015 which states clearly that The SPH is the rightful owner of the mutt till the suit comes to an end.
- 183. Jul 2019, although there is a High Court order in their favor the ASMT community monks cannot even dare to enter their own monasteries and temples. The government and the police have been unwilling to provide protection and execute the court order and allow the community to continue
the practice of sacred ASMT rituals in their temples. Throughout the recent five centuries or so these temples and monasteries have been constantly destroyed by successive rulers who opposed the ASMT Hindu religion. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is the only hope for the community for the revival of the ancient civilizations and had been working relentlessly to revive the spiritual ASMT traditions and its temples. Now the community lives in more fear as the anti-Hindu atheistic terrorist forces and neo-Hindutva extremist extremists in the government continuously attempted assassination of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. The ASMT community is thus faced with a bleak future, as they continue to battle the political and religious persecution, wherein they are not able to practice their religion and their temples and monasteries are slowly being destroyed by the government.
