"To serve humanity..." leaders of the American Kundalini Yoga community are seeking new board members for 3HO Europe to represent Yogi Bhajan’s teachings. Yogi Bhajan, the ra**st, child abuser, criminal, and cult leader whose crimes are documented in "Under the Yoga Mat," now available in English, German, and Spanish (Part I) -

Under the Yoga Mat talks about the hidden sexual and power abuse by Yogi Bhajan in his 3HO Healthy, Happy, Holy organization and Sikh Dharma International community. It caused harm and trauma in the lives of hundreds of children and adults.

This is what the leader of the Kundalini Yoga community feels he should share with the world …

Think you know 3HO?
Recently appointed CEO of 3HO International, Davinder Singh posted this comment on Instagram and then deleted it.

We all know Yogi Bhajan was a hateful man who abused, r***d and brutalised women for decades. He would be so proud to see his misogyny continuing as one of his most enduring and prolific legacies.

The documentary “Long-Time Sun” complements two other documentaries that expose the abuses and crimes hidden for over fifty years within Yogi Bhajan’s realm of Kundalini Yoga and Sikh Dharma: VICE's “True Believers” and HBO Max’s “Breath of Fire”.

“Long Time Sun” features a carefully selected video and photographic footage that showcases Yogi Bhajan’s teachings from the early days and reflects the cultural climate of the time, offering clearer insight into the cult’s origins. For example, it includes a video clip in which a member of the American Congress defends the resolution honoring Yogi Bhajan after his passing. The contrast with the horrific testimonies of first- and second-generation survivors is striking. I interpreted this as an implicit call to amend that resolution, as we suggested in “Under the Yoga Mat."

The documentary effectively illustrates the complex and challenging intergenerational relationships.

I’ve added a more detailed commentary on the four-part documentary “Long Time Sun,” which airs on Videoland-RTL (it appears to be available only in the Netherlands and Luxembourg) on https://abuse-in-kundalini-yoga.com/news -2025.

How did I witness the leaders of Yogi Bhajan's 3HO Kundalini Yoga organization react to the massive revelations of sexual and child abuse and other misconduct that have come to light since 2020? How did survivors respond to the “reparations” offered? Does this community, which still includes thousands worldwide, show similarities to the cult characteristics defined by cult expert Dr. Steven Hassan?
This book addresses these questions and highlights how Yogi Bhajan's teachings continue to be propagated by those who willfully ignore or deny the abuse to protect their yoga or healing business. They consciously choose not to inform their clients about the inherent risks. Additionally, the book contains a list of lawsuits involving Yogi Bhajan’s organizations.

Yogi Bhajan told his female followers that r**e was always invited. They did not react. Amongst his audience were young women who had been coerced into participating in his violent sexual activities. They were expected to feel "blessed" by the attention paid to them by the spiritual leader of the...

At eleven she was sent to a boarding school in India with a one-way ticket because there was no money for a return ticket. She had to care for a six-year-old on the trip while in shock herself. There was no swimming pool or horses as promised. There was filth, lice, hunger, and loneliness ... no one to talk to, no way to call home ... Kundalini Yogis, listen to this story (and others) ... The parents who saved money to send their children to this hell in India were practicing Bhajan's Kundalini Yoga on a daily basis ... Yoga of Awareness??? Really ???
