Abuse in Yogi Bhajan's 3HO Kundalini Yoga World
It is estimated that 100 women were sexually abused,
and at least 1000 children suffered neglect, isolation, and abuse
in the 3HO Healthy-Happy-Holy Community
of Yogi Bhajan (†2004).
For decades it was all hidden under the veil of yoga and religion.
Proceeds go to nonprofit initiatives that support recovery from sexual violence, child neglect, and institutional abuse.
Rape is Always Invited
Yogi Bhajan April 26, 1978
Those who need to restore
their dignity are not the abused
but the abusers
and they need to do so by owning
their full responsibility for what they've done.

there's no way I'm going to shut my mouth
I'm a battered child and the whole bloody world is going to know about it
the same as they're going to know about every other battered child
they're not going to be able to shut us up just because they don't want to hear about it
