| 1 | 2-Apr-2010 | Deccan Herald | Godman whistleblower had 2 more CDs | Article says Lenin was called to Nithyananda’s VIP room in Bidadi ashram on Feb 14th. | Nithyananda was in Chennai on 14 February, taking the Kalpataru program which is a public program attended by thousands. Then how can he be in Bidadi ashram VIP room on the same day? | |
| 2 | 19-Mar-2010 | 18,19 | Nakkeeran | Yaarum Yarodavum | In a meditation program (Nithyananda Spurana Program), men and women were free to do whatever they wished with each other. | All the meditation programs conducted by Nithyananda are carefully conducted with respect for the participants and the men and women sit in separate sections of the meditation hall.
The particular program has also been completely video-recorded and proves this allegation to be false. Interestingly, in 2008 also Nakkeeran had published a similar defamatory article for which he later printed a public apology. |
| 3 | 19-Mar-2010 | 4 | Netrikann | Udal uravum oru yoga thaan | Physical relationship is also a yoga | The whole article is a fabrication. It is purportedly an interview with Ragasudha, a former Tamil actress. The said actress has clarified that she never gave any such interview. |
| 4 | 4-Mar-2010 | India Today | Now, sex slur on South Indian Swami | Deputy Conservator of Forests says that they have conducted a raid inside Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam. | The said raid showed clear evidence that there was nothing illegal done or procured or stored in the ashram. This result, however, was not published anywhere. | |

| 9 | 11-Mar-2010 | 46 | Arasial | Thalaikunivu, thalaimaraivu… | Nithyananda conducts ‘Ananda Natanam’ (blissful dancing), a weekend program | There is no program called Ananda Natanam, and no similar program has ever been held in ashram. |

This created great distress for them and their family in society. |
| 11 | 25-Mar-2010 | 6 | Arasial | Nithyananda vivakarathil kaithaagum Lenin | Dhyanapeetam’s wealth is a few thousand crores.
