May 20, 2012, Madurai, In a major display of support, 53 prominent Hindu organizations participated in the press meet, welcoming the coronation of and pledging their support to Paramahamsa sri Nithyananda and Madurai Aadheenam.
Paramahamsa Nithyananda opened the press meet by welcoming the 53 Hindu organizations participating. He announced that Sri Ashok Singhal, International VHP President, has graciously agreed to be the Honorary President of the Madurai Aadheenam Protection Committee. The committee consists of Hindu leaders, who had passed a declaration supporting Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s Coronation, and unanimously agreed that He is a visionary leader for a Hindu Renaissance.

Referring to the reports in certain media that the 232nd pontiff of another ancient organization, named as Thondaimandala Aadheenam of Kanchipuram had also signed the resolution protesting against the coronation, the pontiff’s own bother declared and reiterated that neither had signed the petitions against Nithyananda, nor had they given any statements against him. To this Paramahamsa observed that including the name of another revered pontiff without his knowledge and signing the negative resolution would be termed as unethical act and may also amount to dharmic forgery.

Elaborating on his plans for the future expansion of Madurai Aadheenam, Paramahamsa Nithyananda reiterated that the media should encourage RTI (Right to Information Act) so that all organizations maintain transparency in operations. Nithyananda has voluntarily offered to bring his organizations under the RTI.

Some of the main statements in the Declaration of Madurai Aadheenam Protection Committee are: 

•     We, the Madurai Aadheenam Protection Committee, welcome and support H.H. Paramahamsa Nithyananda as the 293rd Guru Maha Sannidhanam of Madurai Aadheenam. Madurai Aadheenam will become renowned because of Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Hindu Dharma and Shaivism will flourish.
•     We, the Madurai Aadheenam Protection Committee, welcome and support H.H. Paramahamsa Nithyananda as the 293rd Guru Maha Sannidhanam of Madurai Aadheenam. Madurai Aadheenam will become renowned because of Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Hindu Dharma and Shaivism will flourish.
•     We heartily congratulate the 292nd Guru Mahasannidhanam Srila Sri Arunagirinatha Sri Gnanasambandha Desika Paramacharya Swamigal for choosing this renowned saint as his successor.
