New SGA Story on the blog today: “In HIS Shadow” by Anonymous (SVK). Thank you for taking the time to read it. . . Please take a minute to give gratitude to those who take the time to open up with their personal stories. Some things to be mindful of: ANY TIME anyone speaks about abuse especially in childhood: 1) it’s hard and not fun work 2) ppl often feel the hangover of retelling the trauma for many days following, 3) ppl speak despite the re-triggering because it is necessary, and 4) This is what makes it SACRED. . . . Our stories are a gift to those who need to hear them. We tell *So You Can* learn and grow. Your gift in return is to simply show up. Thank you 🕊 . . . #ShutItDown . . . #3HO #yogibhajan #yogibhajanthepredator #kundaliniyoga #aquarianage #aquariantimes #endtimesfor3HO #survivorsof3HOabuse #survivorsofinstitutionalabuse #survivorsofinstitutionalchildabuse #miripiriacademy #cults #cultschools #boardingschool

Our derelict parents did some damn remarkable feat Our derelict parents did some damn remarkable feats of mental gymnastics 🏋🏼‍♂️🏆🤡 #russellsteapot . . . Excerpt from the Sikh Dharma Foreign Education Bulletin, November 28 1986 . . Ok for real though, a few notes about these newsletters—do not take them to be representative of what we were really going through. However they do illustrate the language of this cult that is still used to this day, terms like “Distance Therapy” inserted with enough frequency as to start to normalize a thing that is wildly aberrant and known to cause lasting harm. Another thing: our boomer parents were caught up in the moral “satanic panic” of the 1980’s and were fanatically phobic of punk and heavy metal and YB played up those fears by inserting some really strange and homophobic new age chakra nonsense ... it’s too repugnant to talk about honestly but it’s not that far off from the transphobic talk of the so-called new age conspiritualists of today. . . #ShutItDown . . . #3HO #yogibhajan #yogibhajanthepredator #kundaliniyoga #aquarianage #aquariantimes #endtimesfor3HO #survivorsof3HOabuse #survivorsofinstitutionalabuse #survivorsofinstitutionalchildabuse #miripiriacademy #cults #cultschools #boardingschool
“As far as what age to consider sending your chi “As far as what age to consider sending your child [to boarding school in India], we are recommending younger rather than older. Again this year many five and six year olds will be going. It is the personal decision of the parents, and depends too upon acceptance into the school. In terms of present enrollment levels, it is definitely easier to gain admittance into grades 3 and below.” — Excerpt from a Sikh Dharma (3HO / Kundalini Yoga) announcement that went out to all ashrams in 1984, titled “Announcement of Education Program in India”. . . mfkn Derelict Parents. . . #ShutItDown . . . #3HO #yogibhajan #yogibhajanthepredator #kundaliniyoga #aquarianage #aquariantimes #endtimesfor3HO #survivorsof3HOabuse #survivorsofinstitutionalabuse #survivorsofinstitutionalchildabuse #miripiriacademy #cults #cultschools #boardingschool

“Apart from the daily exposure to kirtan, yoga, “Apart from the daily exposure to kirtan, yoga, stories, meditations, banis, gurdwara and just plain fun, the toddlers discovered a new sense of independence and self-reliance. How strong they grew!” — This is an excerpt from the Khalsa Youth Camp 1982 yearbook. About TODDLERS (ages ONE to THREE). Who were sent away to a six week long parentless summer camp located in a remote high desert in northern New Mexico (Eight miles up on a hard terrain, unpaved mountain road to the nearest hospital and services). . . #ShutItDown . . . #3HO #yogibhajan #yogibhajanthepredator #kundaliniyoga #aquarianage #aquariantimes #endtimesfor3HO #survivorsof3HOabuse #survivorsofinstitutionalabuse #survivorsofinstitutionalchildabuse #miripiriacademy #cults #cultschools #boardingschool
