Twelve years ago things were positive in the world of Kundalini Yoga “as Taught by Yogi Bhajan”, at least that is how a good number of people who studied new religious movements and 3HO wrote back then. Doris Jackbosh agreed that this organisation “has largely passed under the radar of research because the group has simply not been perceived as “controversial” enough, and has in many ways successfully integrated into society at large” (p. 386).
What has changed in the last weeks? What has happened to this movement that had “successfully integrated into society at large”? What has tilted the perception from positive to negative? What is the cause of the current chaos hitting the memory of the teacher and inspiration of the whole movement, Yogi Bhajan?
