Mumbai/Bangalore, Jul 11: A new sensational video has surfaced of self-styled godman Swami Nithyananda celebrating near his father's dead body.
The 49-second video was filmed in December 2010 but it surfaced this month. The video was taken by a former female devotee of Nithyananda.
In the video, Nithyananda is clapping, swaying and celebrating in front of his father's body, with a bhajan being blared in the background.
The video suddenly cuts to show an aged man swaying and clapping and touching Nithyananda's feet. The aged man is none other than his father, when he was alive.
Nithyananda hugs his father after the latter touches his feet.
The next part of the video shows Nithyanand handing over a piece of paper to his father, and saying something on the mike.
The piece of paper says, "your son is your guru, and the father's name is now Nithya Arunachalananda".
The father accepts the new name from his son "guru".
The last part of the video shows, Nithyananda picking up a pair of wooden slippers kept near the feet of his dead father's body.
Nithyananda then proceeds to put the pair of wooden slippers on his father's head, signalling that his father has died a sanyasin.
