Abuse in Yogi Bhajan's 3HO Kundalini Yoga World
In 2012 Hari Singh teacher of Sat Nam Rasayan
sexually abused 2 of his female students
while he knew they were in a vulnerable position.
In 2013 two students informed Els Coenen the organiser of the SNR training in Belgium that they were sexually abused by their teacher Hari Singh.
When Els reached out to Hari Singh and the Sat Nam Rasayan leadership to ask for recognition of the harm done and reparative actions, she was repeatedly requested to keep silent. When she insisted, she was ex-communicated from the Sat Nam Rasayan organisation. Link to her full story.
In October 2020 Els approached Guru Dev Singh again in an open letter that was shared with the leaders of the Sat Nam Rasayan community and the Beyond the Cage Facebook group.
Her aim was to see if after 8 years and in this new climate he was ready to formulate a proper response towards the two women involved. That seemed impossible.
In his reply you can read how Guru Dev Singh thought about sexual abuse.

Open letter
from Els Coenen
to Guru Dev Singh
The reply from
Guru Dev Singh.
The reply from
Guru Dev Singh including comments from Els on that reply.
The final reply Els received from Guru Dev Singh was:
Wahe Guru Ji Khalsa Wahe Guru Ji Fateh
When Marina Rondelli read this beginning Nov 2020, she reached out to Els:
What happened in Belgium is peanuts compared to what I experienced with Guru Dev Singh.
Hari Singh was just copying his master.
Marina expressed her intention to bring her story into the open
before Guru Dev would leave this earth.
She knew he was very ill.
Els promised to help her translating from Italian to English.
In March 2021 Marina Rondelli and her daughter Olivia Taglioli told their stories.
That was just before Guru Dev Singh died on April 5, 2021.
Be aware that these are only fragments of the truth.
Many more stories are out there, told and untold.
Telling these stories is needed. It is a prerequisite for justice and reconciliation.
