Even confessions where no wrong was actually done can spur the group to more purity. Any weakness or failure, real or perceived, are to be confessed for the sake of the group. Any failure to succeed means impurity exists somewhere and will be searched out by those in control.Ĭult of Confession – Failure to succeed means confessions must be made. The followers see the leaders as having achieved this higher calling hence they are worthy to be followed.ĭemand For Purity – the utopian goal can only be achieved by purity of devotion. Mystical Manipulation – this is the ‘higher calling’ for the follower to be a part of a utopian goal which requires his full devotion. Milieu Control – the control of the environment including information, associations, time, and energy work to exclude any opportunity for opposition while also promoting the ‘party line’. Having an extensive collection of comparative religious texts that deal in some-form-or-fashion with Sikhism mainly and 3Ho to a lesser extent, my understanding of this “sect” is unfortunately deepened via the personal stories of anguish below, merely confirming that which is already known.Īrticles like these (See: Britney Spears) are rare due to the small nature of this “sect” and people assuming it is part of the world religion of Sikhism. I have personally heard stories about Yogi Bhajanbecause of close family members that use to be involved in this breakaway form of Sikhism. Stories of Yogi Bhajan’s improprieties and crooked financial dealing (theft from members) can be found at the (like this one). As well as found at Religion News Blog, (like: 3hO, and Yogi Bhajan as topics in their archive). Shame on 3HO for NOT acknowledging innocent kundalini yoga students raped & abused by Yogi Bhajan! (Go to this forum to talk to and see ex-members talk about this abuse.
