1. A Yantra.

7. Competition analysis
• We have absolutely no competitor currently and prospect of
any competition is remote.
• This is truly distinct from Sadguru, Patanjali and Art of
Living although they all are in the business of spirituality.
There is a niche premium market associated with the brand
value of HH. Swami Nityananda.
• All attempts to malign, defame and destroy HH. Swami
Nityananda over the 2 to 3 decades have failed miserably.
All such attempts and the entire negative publicity has only
helped in growth. In fact growth as always been inversely
proportional to the negative publicity.
