Abuse in Yogi Bhajan's 3HO Kundalini Yoga World
There was no Method to the Madness.
Siri Nirongkar S
Siri entered the 3HO community at the age of nine.
He came with his mom.
Adapting to the new life was strange.
He was brought up by the guardians.
Every year he went to a different school in a different town. He was not abused but he felt neglected.
He saw many things.
He was bullied at school because of his turban and being a vegetarian.
His favorite time of the year was summer solictice. He loved the community event and children's camp.
Guides were incompetent but it was fun.
At 13 he was sent to the school in India.
"That program was run on incompetence," he says.
Siri holds 'the Sytem' including Yogi Bhajan responsible for what happened.
Siri Nirongkar was assigned as an 'enforcer'
by supervisor Nanak Dev Singh.
He was expected to beat up the kids and he did.
He wished that ...
If I wronged you,
reach out to me.
At 17-18 he worked for Akal Security and became YB's bodyguard.
"He used me as he used other people.
I threathened our own kids with guns for him."
At 22 Siri was forced into a marriage he did not want.
"Power was YB's game. He was messing with people's heads."
When Siri had an affair YB moved the girl into his inner circle
and started raping her a year later.
At 25 Siri was sent back to India to guard over 100 kids.
He had no training, insufficient resources and no support.
Kids had to do their own laundry, there was not enough food.
I started to challenge YB politely but firmly.
I needed 50 cents a day per kid to feed them.
Where did the money go ?
