					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been ten years since I wrote about what it was like to be in India on the day Indira Gandhi was assassinated. What took place on Halloween 34 years ago still remains a Specter that haunts. It&#8217;s the specter of memory. Let&#8217;s neutralize this ghost with knowledge.

					<description><![CDATA[&#8230;Meaning, it might take a while. After years of keeping this blog, I have had the opportunity to speak with a number of ex-classmates, talk to people, and have real conversations about growing up in 3HO Sikh Dharma. When I do take time out of ordinary life to reconnect or have a conversation, what usually &#8230; <p class="link-more"><a href="https://rishiknots.com/2018/04/23/theres-no-deadline-for-grief/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "There&#8217;s no deadline for grief"</span></a></p>]]></description>

Even as a young child I knew where they were stored – inside their bedroom closet, loaded, and inside a padded, brown leather holster. Yogi Bhajan had a 24-7 cadre of &#8230; <p class="link-more"><a href="https://rishiknots.com/2012/08/09/the-pen-is-mightier-than-the-sword/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword"</span></a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Normally when we think of consensus, we think of it in a positive, unifying kind of context &#8211; like solidarity. But growing up in 3HO, and having left when I was 18, I&#8217;ve developed a different kind of outlook toward consensus and consensus-building. I wasn&#8217;t granted an opinion or a voice once I left 3HO. &#8230; <p class="link-more"><a href="https://rishiknots.com/2009/10/17/on-consensus-and-the-bully-pulpit/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "On Consensus and the Bully Pulpit"</span></a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There are thousands of hours of videotape of Yogi Bhajan&#8217;s lectures. Every single lecture I ever had to sit in, there was a video camera on record. When I saw the PBS documentary called Jonestown, the reels and reels of raw footage of Jim Jones reminded me of Yogi Bhajan&#8217;s own narcissism, and I hoped &#8230; <p class="link-more"><a href="https://rishiknots.com/2009/06/17/video-and-the-cult-leader/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Video and the Cult Leader"</span></a></p>]]></description>
