If we hold any leader 'above' his accountability,
we move from being in Dharma,
to being in a cult.
Tej Steiner - 1986
Tej Steiner led the Toronto ashram
in Canada from 1970-1988.
On Nov 24, 2020, GuruNishan interviewed him°.
After 16 years in 3HO,
Tej discovered that
1. YB was having sex with his secretaries,
2. a drug bust happend in one of the ashrams.
He asked questions about it.
YB threatened Tej:
There are people who love me so much.
They do not like it when I am slandered.
And these people have guns ...
Tej sent Open Letters to YB and to his peers.
He asked them
to question their spiritual leader
to hold on to the Sikh Dharma principles
of honesty and courage.
As a consequence, he was
shunned, threatened, slandered and isolated.
The open letter Tej wrote to Yogi Bhajan on March 25, 1988,
about why he resigns as head of KY Canada.
The open letter Tej wrote to all ashram leaders
and the Khalsa Council on July 21, 1988.
