From Pausing Sunrise To Saying He's Param Siva, Here Are 5 Bizarre Claims Made By Nithyananda

Swami Nithyananda, a godman we all known from the infamous Ranjitha "sex tape" scandal, is known to the ace the world of ridiculous claims.

The godman who has provided fodder to the most hilarious memes, thanks to his bizarre pravachans, hit headlines in the past week after he allegedly bought an island from Ecuador in central Latin America and declared it an independent, new nation.

The godman who is currently on the run from authorities has apparently named his new island the "Sovereign nation of Kailaasa".

Kailasaa's objectives, as per its website, include the preservation, restoration, and revival of an enlightened culture and civilisation based on authentic Hinduism. Other lofty ideals and objectives of Kailaasa allegedly includes universal free healthcare, free education for all, free food, and revival of a temple-based lifestyle.

Shortly before reports of Nithyananda¡¯s ¡°new country¡± named Kailaasa¡± surfaced online, a video shows him addressing an audience in the video where he says, ¡°No stupid court can prosecute me for revealing the truth,"

The website says that the self-styled fugitive godman has declared the island a ¡®Hindu sovereign nation¡¯ and has established a cabinet along with a prime minister for his so-called nation ¡°Kailaasa¡±. It has also called for donations for ¡°Kailaasa¡± and the ones donating will be provided with an opportunity to gain citizenship of the ¡°greatest Hindu nation,¡± reported NDTV.

The website reads: ¡°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.¡±

Here's a throwback to some of the most bizarre things said by the godman:

1. When he claimed to pause sunrise.

2. When he explained what he sees while being blindfolded.

3. When he sat down to debunk E=mc^2 Formula with his own theory.

4. When he said that spirits and ghosts are the troubled souls who committed suicide.
