Veteran Kannada actor Leelavathi has charged godman Nityananda with having banished from his ashram in Haridwar.

Leelavathi, who was in Haridwar recently, told media in Raichur on Tuesday that Nityananda had instructed his disciples not to provide accomodation to pilgrims from Karnataka, particularly Kannadigas, in his ashram in Haridwar.

“Kannadigas should raise their voice against Nityananda,” Leelavathi said.

“Nityananda should remember that his Dhyana Peetha is in Karnataka,” she added, referring to the godman’s ashram at Bidadi on the outskirts of Bangalore.

She also said that pilgrimage centres like Haridwar should ban the entry of controversial persons such as Nityananda.

Nityananda has been involved in a series of controversies, beginning with the surfacing of a CD portraying his dalliance of a Tamil actor, Ranjitha, who recently took “deeksha” as his disciple.

He later got himself into yet another controversy, being charged by devotees of the oldest Shaivite temple in Madurai of trying to “buy” the ashram by “persuading” the senior swami of the math to adopt him as his heir.
