It’s so terrible and inexcusable what happened to your sister. I’m so sorry there were no responsible adults to protect and love her. And you. And all of our children.

None of you deserved this abuse! It’s not your fault this happened!

Is there any movement toward a law suit re: abuse and neglect in the various children’s programs, in particular SDFE? I started talking with other 3ho/SD adults about India Program abuses in 1985 and even called Sat Kirpal Kaur about a specific situation. I was told “it’s none of your business, JI!”

I was too naive and didn’t yet understand the psychopathology of the group leaders. The whole thing was thoroughly impenetrable from any angle, at least any angle available to me as one person. I had NO luck engaging other adults to try and interfere, prevent, report etc. The inhumanity of the India program and of the adults who harshly enacted it and protected it from criticism is what eventually caused me to leave 3ho/SD.

Again, I AM SO SORRY.

Im a second gen who has bad ptsd. I lived with yogi bhajan qnd was being groomed to do seva all day. I saw guru simran the custodian moving young girls around the ranch, one was Hari Simrans sister and the other Mahan Kirin. I have pictures and letters from my sister who went to GNFC. Hee lettees were all fake and even said “tell the siti singh sahib i like it here in india. She went one year and had dysentery. HepA, mumps, worms, and lice. She said the sick lady had a mentally ill adult son who would sit in her bed at night and talk to himself. She couldnt sleep. Also the dee dees scrubbed her too hard and the bucket they used had human shit in it. On the way home she shit her pants and nobody cleaned her, so you can imagine my mom seeing her at the airport! I tried to repost one of your posts and that’s fine if you don’t want me to. I’m 100% with you!!!
