Full Address by Permanent Representative of Kailasa Nation to the United Nations on behalf of all 2 billion Hindus.
The KAILASA Nation presented to the United Nations about the persecution of Hindu Sampradayas in India during the 14th Session of the OHCRC’s Forum on Minority Issues, Geneva, 2-3 December 2021.
The United Nations accepted the KAILASA Nation and allowed KAILSA to present its case after the presentation from the Permanent Mission from India to the UN which focused on how Islamic and Christian minorities are safeguarded by the Indian Government.
KAILASA Nation in UN
Madam Chairperson! Esteemed delegates and colleagues!
I represent KAILASA nation led by Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam, which speaks on behalf of 2 billion Hindus around the world who do not have a voice representing them in these international forums. I want to specifically bring to light the attack on minority Hindu traditions.
Hinduism as people know is not a single monolithic religion but its made up of thousands of unique enlightenment ecosystems which are called Sampradayas.
In recent times many Hindu gurus, Hindu minority traditions and temples have come under attack by majority ideologies and a large number of traditions have virtually disappeared.
There has been no recognition of the attacks by international human rights groups as in these cases it is difficult for outsiders to distinguish the attackers from the attacked.
For the past 10 years, the KAILASA Nation and SPH Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam have been attacked and silenced in India as a religious minority as a linguistic minority and because extremist elements are opposed to KAILASA’s stance when it comes to the rights of women including marginalized Dalit women and the rights of members of the LGBTQ and transgender communities.
In 2019 KAILASA approached the OHCHR presenting the case of persecution and when this document reached the Indian media. A very well-funded defamation campaign was started by news sources which were supportive of the Union Government alleging treason and sedition on part of the KAILASA Nation.
A number of false cases were subsequently registered against KAILASA leaders and one of our university campuses for women in the state of Gujarat was raised to the ground in a matter of days by mobs along with the local government.
KAILASA since submitted a number of reports on the persecution to various forums available within the UN but not much action has been taken.
In June 2021 KAILASA made a submission on the attacks of ASMT women in the session by the UN committee on elimination of discrimination against women on the rights of indigenous women and further submitted reports on how to end Femicide and on gender justice.
Later in September KAILASA’s report on Media Disinformation in India which is a big problem was accepted by the special rapporteur for the right to freedom of opinion and expression and the report on the effect of COVID on minorities and the multilateral solution to the COVID crisis was accepted by the UN Independent Expert on the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order.
Attacks on minorities span multiple dimensions and early identification of these attacks is critical. We present the following recommendations based on our experience as a persecuted minority tradition.
1) The UN needs to pay special attention to attacks on Hindu Religious Minorities and other sub-traditions which can be difficult to distinguish from the majority groups but experience the same problems of persecution as other recognized minorities.
2) Indian Media’s unchecked hate speech against Hindu Gurus and Hindu customs needs to be curtailed – what is commonly referred to as trial by media.
3) The tendency of Indian Judges to overreach into the rights of minority sub-traditions in the name of reform or play to public opinion created by the media hype needs to be stopped.
Thank you for your time and consideration.”

Thank you India speaks daily for this news and I hope the country understands the problems faced by hinduism and our Gurus and stands in support for them. Kailasa is the footsteps for India to follow in coming years. Gurus and traditions in India need to be honoured. A nation guided by enlightened Guru will only safeguard India Hidnuism , humanity and world , and establish India as global Guru.
