This is to be addressed by the commissioning organisation who are issuing statements. You may also encounter any of the ongoing discussions and questions arising publicly about the legitimacy and status of An Olive Branch (their licence to conduct an investigation), the procedures, content and presentation of material. We recommend discernment and self-care in terms of engagement in the social media domain. And give consideration of whether you share it. If you read the report in full, or even skim it, perhaps consider the time to do so and whether you’d like someone to speak to who can be a steady presence. Others may be reading everything available across different platforms. Some in the community have stated they don’t want to read it and this is each person’s choice. Anyone may find the material distressing to read, but especially someone who has experienced sexual misconduct/abuse on any level could find historical experiences are re-triggered. Please note: The statements are extremely graphic and detailed regarding sexual content. It is rather a “found possible”, so more than 50% likely. Nor is the report a legal document. The institute came to the conclusion that the accusations are “more likely than not” truthful. A remark needs to be made that “more likely than not” does not equal “guilt” or conviction in our legal system. While the process has taken place over many months, it is worth remembering that it was not a legal investigation. The report is a compilation of statements and allegations from anonymous sources/complainants through an openly invited process, with commentary and summarising from AOB. We include some links to more detailed information, including the full report (76 pages) from An Olive Branch (AOB). “Follow the Teachings, not the Teacher.” (Yogi Bhajan) However, it cannot be disputed that Yogi Bhajan remains the founder of our Yoga tradition and therefore he will be remembered as such. We strive to disclose and question any personal dependencies, inappropriate behavior or hidden hierarchies. The Kundalini Yoga community supports the disclosure of all accusations and declares its solidarity with the victims. In a report dated August 14, 2020, the accusations of 36 persons are evaluated. The main organisations of Kundalini Yoga commissioned an independent institute to investigate. In early 2020, it was discovered that a large number of women accused Yogi Bhajan of sexual abuse and unethical behaviour.

Please realise that this is a work in progress as new information keeps coming in on a daily basis which might change the way certain questions could or should be addressed. Also included is a FAQ list that was compiled at a recent Karam Kriya School meeting. KRI and 3HO also regularly organise Zoom sessions to support. Through a special website that has been set up you can stay up to date about investigations being conducted into these matters and there is an email address where you can ask questions. We realise that some of you might not be receiving the messages from KRI and 3HO, so we include some documents that have been sent around. We have experienced and witnessed the powerful impact and long-lasting effects! We do also see how it can be challenging to find a new way to relate to Yogi Bhajan and his undeniable part in this though. The Teachings undeniably support us in this. An incredible challenge to stay centred and trusting and a great opportunity in many ways. If you are reading these stories, you may have similar feelings of sadness, pain, non-belief, coming to terms, confusion and uncertainty for what the future of KY might look like. The global Kundalini Yoga community is hearing of personal stories from the beginning of the 3HO movement. More than ever it is time to find that lighthouse within and at the same time clean out our own rocks. There is a storm on the Kundalini Yoga sea and many are looking for a lighthouse to guide the way or a rock to blame when crashing. Response from Bachitar Kaur and Hari Krishan Singh – March 2020
