How have the leaders of Yogi Bhajan's 3HO Kundalini Yoga organization responded to the massive revelations of sexual and child abuse and other misconduct, that have come to light since 2020? How do the survivors view the “reparations” offered? Does this community, which still includes thousands worldwide, exhibit many or few similarities to the cult characteristics defined by cult expert Dr. Steven Hassan?

This book not only addresses these questions but also highlights where Yogi Bhajan's teachings are currently spread by leaders who ignore or deny the abuse to protect their yoga or healing businesses. Consequently, they intentionally choose not to inform their clients about the inherent risks. Furthermore, the book includes a list of lawsuits involving Yogi Bhajan’s organizations.
