Abuse in Religious Contexts: the story of Yogi Bhajan

Description

The Abuse in Religious Contexts project looks at the peculiar factors which allow abuse to take place within religious settings.

Today we hear about one such setting – the 3H0( Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization) founded by Yogi Bhajan who introduced Kundalini yoga to the United States.  After his death in 2004 scores of his female followers came forward to say they had been sexually and spiritually abused by him.

The story is told to Rosie here by Los Angeles journalist and essayist, Stacie Stukin and Philip DeSlippe, an academic researcher and historian of yoga based at University of California, Santa Barbara.
