His religious, political and surprisingly even scientific clout grew massively till 2010, which was marked as the beginning of his downfall. It became so big that by 2007, the self-stated god-man had about 800 centres across 21 countries. He was endorsed by celebrities and media houses and this made his market bigger and bigger day by day. His fan base swelled in the early 2000s in Tamil Nadu, as a result of his famous ‘healing powers’.

He also preaches his ‘scientific knowledge’ through his Youtube videos where he discredited Einstein’s famous formula, E=mc2 and stated that soon he will make cows, bulls, lions, tigers, and monkeys speak in Tamil and Sanskrit. Also if that’s not enough then he even claimed that he stopped the sun from rising once for 40 minutes. He has centres, temples, gurukuls and ashrams all over the world, where he preaches yoga, meditation and fitness courses. His Facebook and Youtube pages describe him as, ‘ Divine Holiness Nithyananda Paramashivam, reviver of Kailaasa’. Well, for that we need to dig in his social media (yes you read it right).
