Become A Citizen Of The Newly Founded Republic Of Kailaasa by panafrican(m): 10:56pm On Dec 05, 2019

Nithyananda, who built up a huge spiritual following in India, ... on Wednesday announced he was establishing the sovereign “Republic of Kailaasa”, which would be the “world’s greatest and purest Hindu nation”.


The “cosmic country” will reportedly be established on a private island off the coast of Ecuador, purchased by some of his wealthy devotees. Applications are open for those who want to apply for citizenship and a passport, which allows for “free entry in all 11 dimensions and 14 lokas [the 14 worlds of Hinduism] including Kailaasa”.

Only practising Hindus are allowed to apply for citizenship. A donation needs to be made to Kailaasa in order to be put forward for citizenship and all passport applications will be personally approved by Nithyananda.

Kailaasa describes itself as “a nation without borders created by dispossessed Hindus from around the world who lost the right to practice Hinduism authentically in their own countries”.

The man who is trying to set up this "Republic of Kailaasa" is a wanted man in India. A fugitive. He is wanted for several sexual crimes and other acts.

Asides that, he is a well-known scammer and shenanigan-king who once told his devotees that he can give them the power to enable them "see through walls". There was a time he told the whole world that he had the powers to delay the sun for forty minutes.

If all these are anything to go by, then know that this "new country" citizenship scheme might just be another grand plan to defraud unsuspecting persons of their cash.

Kailaasa is described as a 'micronation', per the sources that I have been privileged to peruse, so, how is it now that they are issuing passports to prospective "citizens"?
Doesn't it sound a bit fishy already?

This is getting damn interesting. Apparently, the 'Prime Minister' is an Indian actress{I think I know who that actress is} and it is going to offer 'free food' to all citizens.

What's more? The country is going to be the only country in the world where Sanskrit is gonna be an official language. And crypto currency is going to be legal tender.

You should totally check out their website or Wikipedia. It's crazy.
