She Became A Guru, Started A Yoga Cult & Scammed Thousands Support our Sponsor: Pretty Litter: https://prettylitter.com/milehigher For many in the West, Yoga’s ancient roots have been taken and twisted by scam artists, woo-girl bosses, and capitalist marketers using spiritual liberation as a selling point. Perhaps none have been more successful in this line of work than Katie Griggs. After celebrity endorsements from Alicia Keys, Kate Hudson, and Russell Brand skyrocketed her to fame, it was revealed that Katie was engaged in activities not exactly associated with light and love: scamming customers, verbally abusing staff, and spreading far-right conspiracy theories. So, what’s the truth about Katie Griggs? An earnest guru who just wanted to spread teachings as a devoted disciple? Or a con artist who used Yoga as a way to scam hundreds of people?

The Cult of Kundalini Yoga There’s a chance you’ve brushed paths with this week’s cult in a West Coast farmers market or while scrolling through #yogainspiration, or as of late, your HBOMax recommended page. Kundalini yoga promises spiritual awakening, cosmic energy, and a path to your highest self. But behind the flowing white turbans and chanting in sat nam, there’s a darker story—one of control, secrecy, and not one but TWO gurus with highly questionable pasts. This week, we’re unraveling the culty underbelly of Kundalini, its infamous founder Yogi Bhajan, and his 20-teens girlbossified equivalent, Katie Griggs. From Instagram livestreams at millennial haven RaMa Studios to the militarized "3HO" organization (Healthy, Happy, Holy—or is it?), we’re asking: When does devotion cross the line into dogma? Strap in for a deep dive with Hayley Phelan (@hayleyphelan), journalist behind the article that powered HBO Max's Breath of Fire docuseries, and spiritual/sexual abuse lawyer Carol Merchasin, as Amanda and Reese discover why so many former followers say this spiritual practice left them anything but zen. 🧘‍♀️💸🖨️🍃 👽 About Sounds Like A Cult Podcast 👽 Putting the “cult” in culture… Do you think SoulCycle is a cult? What about the Royal Family? What about Disney Adults? Or spiritual influencers? Is Instagram itself a cult? We’re Sounds Like A Cult, a podcast that analyzes a different fanatical group every week to try and answer the big question: This sounds like a cult, but is it really? Sounds Like A Cult premiered in June of 2021 and has since been downloaded over 30 million times. It was named a best podcast of 2022 by Vulture, Esquire, Wired, Marie Claire, and others. The pod won the 2023 iHeart Radio “Best Emerging Podcast” Award and has been praised by The New York Times and other publications.

Stephanie Sarkis PhD Probably one of the best documentaries on cults is the recent Max, four-part docu-series, "Breath of Fire". The series (which waves plenty of red flags throughout) follows both the high-control organizations of Yogi Bhajan (his face used to grace the box of Yogi Tea) and Guru Jagat, founder of RA MA Institute. How did good people get from doing Kundalini yoga and wanting to make the world a better place, to finding themselves in abusive cults? Gaslighting on both sides of the yoga mat takes place. Listen in.https://stephaniesarkis.com/https://www.facebook.com/StephanieSarkisPhDhttps://www.instagram.com/sarkisphd/ Full episodes are available to paid subscribers of A Sassy Little Substack.

New HBO Docu Series, "Breath of Fire", Reviewed by a Sikh & Former Follower of Yogi Bhajan For those without the patience to listen to a 50 minute video, here is an AI-generated summary based on the transcript for the video. AI's aren't that good at specific knowledge areas, the 3HO / Yogi Bhajan cult being one of those, so I've done some editing and corrected spelling mistakes but it's best to watch the whole video.: Abuse and Manipulation Mahan Kirn Kaur's testimony in HBO's "Breath of Fire" reveals her courageous account of being raped by Yogi Bhajan as a teen, supported by former bodyguard Gursant Singh's 30-year insider perspective. Kundalini yoga, especially the Breath of Fire technique and playing of the "gong", induces a highly suggestible state, making practitioners vulnerable to indoctrination and manipulation by figures like Yogi Bhajan and Harijiwan Khalsa Jr aka "The Toner Bandit". Yogi Bhajan's practice of having female secretaries sleep in his room under the guise of "protecting their aura" in Los Angeles and Espanola is now recognized as very disturbing and debauched behavior. Financial Fraud Harijiwan Khalsa Jr aka "The Toner Bandit", a master manipulator trained in NLP, was indicted for fraud involving sending out invoices with no product. Harijiwan is accused by the author and former followers of using hypnotic gong playing to manipulate followers. Another disciple of Yogi Bhajan with a similar name, Hari Jiwan Singh Khalsa was charged in a "field of schemes" by the Federal Trade commission and engaged in double invoicing for toner supplies, pocketing extra money from his partners under the pretense of funding Yogi Bhajan's lavish lunches. Spiritual Corruption Yogi Bhajan twisted Sikh scriptures (Gurbani) to create a sacrilegious mantra combining Gurbani verses with a chant to Baba Sirichand, corrupting the original teachings. In 2009, Gursant Singh realized Yogi Bhajan was a fraud and his close disciples like the two Harijiwans were criminals who had engaged in fraudulent activities and manipulation, even after Harijiwan Jr aka "The Toner Bandit" served 18 months in federal prison. Legal and Ethical Issues In 1986, Kate Felt sued Yogi Bhajan for abuse and rape, but Harijiwan Jr aka "the toner bandit" denied hundreds of abuse accounts in the Olive Branch report, despite overwhelming evidence. The HBO docuseries inaccurately portrayed Sikhism, featuring a cut-haired activist violating Sikh code and omitting traditional Sikh perspectives on weapons and firearms. Psychological Tactics Yogi Bhajan's manipulative techniques, learned from his time as a customs officer in India, incorporated NLP and Richard Bandler's teachings to extract money, power, and sex from followers. Kundalini yoga creates a synthetic high, luring people into the cult and facilitating indoctrination, posing both physical and spiritual dangers to practitioners. The author worked through the effects of Yogi Bhajan's manipulation for over 40 years, highlighting the long-term impact of cult involvement on followers.

Philip Deslippe & Stacie Stukin - 3HO,Kundalini yoga, & Yogi Bhajan Today our guests are historian Philip Deslippe and writer Stacie Sutkin, who together have done investigative reporting on 3HO (“happy, healthy, holy organization”), Kundalini yoga, and Yogi Bhajan. They’re going to tell us how they got started writing about 3HO, both interacting with Kundalini yoga in different ways, who Yogi Bhajan was and whether he had any credibility in the Sikh religion (spoiler: he did not), and how he began to get white Americans to believe he was the ultimate spiritual authority, rapidly expanding and profiting off of the money and property of his followers. They’ll tell us about some of the many ways Yogi Bhajan exerted control over his followers lives, the practice of separating children from their parents in a practice called “distance therapy,” and the boarding schools kids were sent to for years that turned out to be neglectful and abusive, all within full knowledge and approval of Yogi Bhajan. Plus, the wave of survivors that came forward to tell their stories of his and the organization’s abuse, and how they were failed by 3HO’s reparations program. We have deals for you!

Breath Of Fire Cult: The rise and downfall of Katie Griggs, Guru Jagat The myth about Kundalini Yoga is that it is an ancient practice. The religion was, in fact, made up by Yogi Bhajan, Harbhajan Singh Khalsa who was once respected and even honored at the White House. Then, women began coming forward with horrific stories of psychological, physical and sexual abuse. Katie Griggs, Kundalini Katie, Guru Jagat then becomes the face of the Millennial Girl Boss yoga movement. She has tried to become famous through many means and finally, she is. She becomes radicalized by QAnon theories and right wing conspiracies. She is single handedly responsible for a lot of the new age to right wing conspiracy pipeline phenomenon we have witnessed. Guru Jagat creates a clothing line called Robotic Disaster and begins making a lot of money selling clothing and crystals and tonics. Behind closed doors, she is a tyrant who verbally abuses her employees and refuses to pay them what is owed. She breaks her ankle in Germany and suddenly, her empire comes crashing down ❤️ Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu9SNFGpY_odhZT_LevkGvw 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/darkheartswithstacylee?igsh=Z2d3bTJtZ2NsNXIy&utm_source=qr 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@darkheartswithstacylee?_t=8ns1oHffLyd&_r=1 💰 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/DarkHeartswithStacyLee?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator 💵 CashApp: https://cash.app/$stacyleeDWD 🤑 Venmo: https://www.venmo.com/u/DarkHeartsWithStacyLee 📧 Email: darkheartswithstacylee@gmail.com

IndoctriNation - 3HO's House of Fallen Cards w/Jules Hartley (From The Archives 2020) This episode from the archives originally aired in 2020 After four successful years of working on TV shows and films in New York City, Jules Hartley thought it would be a good idea for her to move to LA. A couple of years into her Hollywood journey, she discovered Kundalini yoga as taught specifically by Yogi Bhajan and the Golden Bridge Yoga Studio in Hollywood. She was instantly hooked and began what turned into a seven and a half year stint as a hardcore and fanatical member of what is now The Rama Yoga Institute, 3HO, and their brand of Sikhism. The yoga and meditation lifestyle given by Yogi Bhajan thus became her entire universe, and within a year or two, she was devoting up to 18 hours a day, to practices that Yogi Bhajan said would ultimately make her life better and get her to "ascend". Jules explains to Rachel why she ultimately ended up leaving Hollywood in 2018, very sick after her experiences, and completely broke as she had given her money over to this group. She details her experiences leaving the intense systemic control of this cultic yoga group and provides insight on her journey to recovery. Before You Go: Rachel shares her perspective on the results of the 2020 U.S Presidential Election and provides insight into why people who have left cults were so triggered by the US president for the last 4 years and how he behaved, and were so troubled by seeing how many militant hate groups and conspiratorial groups like QAnon felt supported by him.

Jules Hartley: “Breath of Fire” and the Cult of Kundalini Yoga (Part 2) Bringing you an extra special Part 2 for today's bonus episode with Jules Hartley. You may have heard of Kundalini yoga from its popularity with celebrities, but you might be less familiar with its culty history. Invented in the late 60s by a guru-turned-cult leader named Yogi Bhajan, Kundalini is an intensive form of yoga that weirdly uses breathing exercises to manipulate people. After its founder died in 2004, one of his followers, Guru Jagat, picked up where he left off. Jagat founded the Ra Ma Institute, which she ran more like a cult than a yoga studio. Our guest today, Jules Hartley, escaped Ra Ma in 2017. She’s featured in the HBO docuseries “Breath of Fire” about the cult of Kundalini yoga. Jules is here to tell us about her experience with Guru Jagat, and we’ll also get into the media’s portrayal of cult survivors. Kundalini has an incredibly dark history that includes child and sexual abuse, so trigger warning this week. Also… let it be known that: The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast. Any content provided by our guests, bloggers, sponsors or authors are of their opinion and are not intended to malign any religion, group, club, organization, business individual, anyone or anything.

Yoga Cult's Dark Secrets Revealed! Inside the Breath of Fire Cult with Survivor Peter Blachly In this eye-opening episode of The Influence Continuum, Dr. Steven Hassan sits down with Peter Blachly, a former member of the 3HO (Happy Healthy Holy) cult led by Yogi Bhajan, known for popularizing Kundalini Yoga in the West. Peter shares his harrowing 17-year journey within the group, exploring the allure of charismatic leaders, the trauma of undue influence, and the challenges of rebuilding after escaping. Peter, a trauma recovery coach, artist, and author, discusses his memoir The Inner Circle: My 17 Years in the Cult of the American Sikhs (1970-1987) and offers deep insights into the manipulation and exploitation he witnessed, including authoritarian control, labor trafficking, and the abuse of women and children. He also highlights his involvement in the new HBO Max documentary Breath of Fire, which uncovers the dark legacy of Yogi Bhajan and the systemic harm inflicted by his teachings. Join Dr. Hassan and Peter as they unpack: - The use of mind control techniques, such as isolation, indoctrination, and emotional manipulation. - The dangers of spiritual ego and cultic group dynamics. - How survivors can reclaim their identity, heal from trauma, and build authentic lives after cult involvement. - Whether you’re a survivor, an ally, or simply curious about the mechanisms of undue influence, this episode is packed with invaluable wisdom for understanding and resisting authoritarian control. 📖 Learn more in Peter Blachly's memoir The Inner Circle: [Insert Link] 🎥 Don’t miss Breath of Fire on HBO Max starting October 23rd! 🔔 Subscribe for more episodes exploring the continuum of influence, from ethical leadership to destructive mind control. #YogiBhajan #3HO #KundaliniYoga #Cults #StevenHassan #BreathOfFire #HealingFromTrauma #UndueInfluence #TheInfluenceContinuum #drstevenhassan #stevenhassan #cults #mindcontrol #brainwashing #BITEmodel #influencecontinuum 0:00 - Introduction 2:14 - Peter Blachly’s Background 4:37 - What is 3HO? 6:50 - The Appeal of 3HO 9:12 - Mind Control and Cult Identity 12:00 - Isolation and Conditional Relationships within the Cult 15:25 - The Role of Insecure Attachment 18:45 - Yogi Bhajan’s Corruption 27:00 - The HBO Documentary: Breath of Fire 31:15 - The Ongoing Legacy of 3HO 38:45 - Peter’s Healing Journey 46:00 - Recognizing Red Flags in Spiritual Organizations 52:00 - Final Thoughts ******************************************** Learn more at: https://freedomofmind.com/ Subscribe to The Influence Continuum podcast: https://freedomofmind.com/podcast-3/ Enroll in our courses - https://courses.freedomofmind.com/collections Download a .pdf of the BITE model here! https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/ Subscribe to the Freedom of Mind newsletter: https://freedomofmind.com/subscribe/ Read or listen to Dr. Hassan's books: https://freedomofmind.com/books/
