The Presidential Mandate also states, "All Kailasians, Ekailasians, volunteers associated with these de facto embassies of Kailasa are to quarantine themselves and adhere to the precautionary measures advised by the local laws." Adding that all spiritual embassies are requested to acknowledge this order and execute it.

Nithyananda formed his own nation in 2019, which is reportedly located off the coast of Ecuador, and has been absconding after being accused in a sexual assault case. Time and again the fugitive godman has asked the United Nation to provide a separate country status to Kailasa. The island nation has its own passport and currency called the 'Kailashian Dollar' as well.
