PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA KAILASH YATRA - CLARIFICATION

02 Aug 2012: This is to clarify some misrepresentations in certain media related to Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s ongoing Kailash-Manasarovar Yatra 2012, where Swamiji is leading a group of over 100 international devotees on a spiritual pilgrimage to these sacred destinations.

In certain sections of the media, it was wrongly reported that Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s passport has been seized, and that along with some devotees, he has been detained for investigation in New Delhi.

This information is completely false.

As part of the regular procedure followed by all pilgrims to Kailash-Manasarovar, Paramahamsa Nithyananda and his group have obtained the permit from Tibet, and their passports were sent to the Chinese embassy in New Delhi through a travel agent for visa stamping.

The stamping has been done, the passports have been returned to the group, and they are proceeding with their tour as scheduled. As of today, the group is in Nepal en route to Kailash.
