Swami Nithyananda resigns from ashram head

Swami Nithyananda, who was alleged in a sex scandal video with actress Ranjitha, has announced that he has resigned from Dhyanapeedam ashram in Birdi. He quits his position as the head of the ashram and said that he will now lead a life of spiritual seclusion.

It is awkward that Swami still maintains his innocence. He has decided to live a life of spiritual seclusion, for some indefinite time, to which the acharyas have agreed in principle. "In view of this, and to enable Dhyanapeetam to function with such amended agenda as may be necessary, I am resigning as the head of Dhyanapeetam and from all the trusts associated with it” he said to CNN.

Earlier the media caught him in a hotel in Haridwar, where he took a room in the name of T K Tiwari and there he told that he will be going for a long term silent meditation. Now he is saying he quits his spiritual life!
