Taavi Kassila's legal case is flawed. This does not matter to Taavi Kassila.
Kassila is committed to pursue legal action even if it fails because cult leader Amma Amritanandamayi has ordered it.
Amma Amritanandamayi, whose claim to be God is simply believed by Indian government officials. Amma cannot imagine that she will be defeated in any court in the world. Unfortunately for Sudhamani Idamannel (her real name), the world does not believe that Amma is God - but this fact never enters
Amma Amritanandamayi's mind.
Taavi Kassila wants to make two contradictory arguments:
defamation and
privacy violation.
For
Taavi Kassila to argue that his privacy has been violated he will have to admit that what has been alleged about him is true. If he admits what has been alleged then he cannot argue libel since he has admitted that the statements are true.
Taavi Kassila is a public figure. He preaches celibacy to the media. Exposing
'Rishi' Taavi Kassila and
Amma Amritanandamayi as religious frauds is a public service and not a privacy issue. Any citizen may expose "the natural defects of a public figure".
Taavi Kassila has voluntarily taken a herpes test (in India where
Amma's hospital is
accused of fraud) and by so doing has waived any claim to privacy. The herpes test result will be positive only if the herpes virus moves from a dormant to active state. A negative result does not prove the absence of herpes.
To avoid public ridicule and ruining his own libel prosecution case,
Taavi Kassila does not want to publicly admit that:
* his former girlfriend developed herpes after he forced unprotected sex upon her
* he eventually admitted having herpes
* he eventually admitted having a teenage mistress
* he confessed to sex with prostitutes
* he wants sex with young woman but not mature women
* he is a religious hypocrite and celibate preacher
* his guru Amma ordered him to bring a frivolous legal case
* he tried to seduce a teenage girl with an
Amma video in her family home
Taavi Kassila's will have legal difficulties because evidence exists to support the above claims. In general it can be shown that
Taavi Kassila is sexual promiscuous, heartless and dishonest.
Any court will have difficulty believing
Taavi Kassila because he has a reputation of being a compulsive liar. Kassila lied to his ex-girlfriend, the media,
Amma Center Finland,
Amma and the public.
Amma.fi covered up Kassila's behavior by deleting over 35 webpages which described Kassila's activities as their representative.
Kassila has financial motivations to lie.
Kassila made claims to an audience, which he was trying to recruit to a controversial colostrum MLM business, that he earns $9,250 per week from the pyramid selling scheme. The scam went bust after the mysterious death of the owner.
Kassila makes money from his association with Amma through books, courses and India tours. Of course he wants us to believe that Amma is good but he hides the
violent nature of Amma and her prison-like
Amritapuri ashram. Amma's devotees believe that Amma is God and must be blindly obeyed. The devotees falsely promote Amma as humanitarian and saint. None of these are true because Amma and her devotees are associated with violence, murder and fraud.
'Rishi' Taavi Kassila is about to be revealed as fraudster too.
When Taavi Kassila realizes that his legal case will fail he may try to settle out of court by paying his former girlfriend for her court costs. The costs will be nothing compared to how much Amma makes every minute. Amma is India's biggest earner in her sector of foreign revenue for India.
To date
Taavi Kassila has never apologized for his actions.
