Bangalore: Inmates at Swami Nithyananda's ashram in Kallugopahalli, Bangalore are eagerly awaiting his return.
"We don't have a single person heading the ashram at this point. A group of eight sadhakas look after the day-to-day activities. We don't have any idea when Swamiji will return as we don't have any contact with him. It is a difficult time. But we are all eagerly awaiting his comeback," said Swami Nithya Pranananda, the ashram spokesperson.
Nithya Pranananda revealed that daily ashram tasks like puja at the temple and other rituals were being conducted as per Swamiji's earlier guidance.
"There is no way Swamiji will renounce his saffron robes. When he returns, he will decide if anyone, if at all, would replace him. For the moment he has resigned from the board of trustees.
"Swamiji has said he will come whenever his devotees need him. That scandal has not affected our faith in Swamiji. The devotees are all with us. They will never abandon Swami Nithyananda," said Nithya Pranananda.
On March 25, the Karnataka High Court refused to grant anticipatory bail to Swami Nithyananda.
The Swami attracted considerable bad press after a video that allegedly showed him with Tamil actress Ranjitha appeared on various TV news channels.
