https://3hocultinfo.wordpress.com/ Do you still have a stack of 3HO Kundalini Yoga manuals. Here is one way to get rid of them. One of Yogi Bhajan’s original 'secretaries' published a tell-all book and it brought forth a tumult of accusations from other women who were sexually abused by the group leader. The whole 3HO house of cards is crumbling and the, now deceased, leader has been revealed as having been a sexual serial predator, a conman and crook. Yogi Bhajan himself has been dead since 2004, but the truth about him is finally coming out. In early 2020, his first secretary, a woman he gave the spiritual name Premka, released a tell-all book, 30 years after she left the group. It wasn’t her first effort to reveal the truth about the yogi. She had sued him back in the late 80’s but lacked the resources to fight his legal delays. She ended up settling out of court. Because there was no Internet at the time, many in the 3 H O community didn’t hear about it, or if they did, were told to deny the story and quickly forgot what had actually happened. In early 2020, the book, "Premka-White Bird in a Golden Cage" by Pamela Saharah Dyson, found an audience. Because of social media the news about the yogi's sexual predation could not be contained by 3 H O. The reaction to the book grew particularly strong in a Facebook group called “Beyond the Cage”. The Facebook group drew people out and the stories started to flow. So much so that the people in 3 H O couldn’t ignore the stories any more.
