Breath of Fire

The abuses and crimes in Yogi Bhajan's Kundalini Yoga world were hidden for far too long. This documentary proves that history can repeat itself if truth-telling is not done.

Breath of Fire will make it more difficult for this group's current leaders to sweep their dark history under the Yoga Mat.

Highlights for me: the picture painted of GuruJagat's past, the revelation of the actual criminal Harijiwan (nick-named toner-bandit), and the sensitivity with which the testimony of the survivor of sexual abuse is brought.

The documentary makers did a great job on so many different levels. A big thanks to all those who contributed!

Breath of Fire is a fine, fascinating and frightening 4 part documentary about a lineage of Kundalini Yoga Masters. They get their students to wear white clothes and huff and puff, while pumping their arms every which way. This causes Yogi Bhajan's Kundalini yogis to get very stoned and gullible.

Kundalini Yoga students pay lots of money, and offer their labor for free, to experience Kundalini Crack. This cult is still going strong. It is a huge, global yoga mafia, with a history of lots of crime and horrible abuse of women and children. The founder, Yogi Bhajan, was pure evil.

To make it even worse, the cult members pretend to be Sikhs, but they aren't.

Of course, at some level all cults are the same, but this one deserves to be exposed and brought down. Sharing "Breath of Fire" is a great way to help that cause. It is NOT boring one bit.

This series covers both the Bhajan Cult and the RA MA Subcult very well.

In 2017 I was happily doing Iyengar yoga and was a Hatha teacher. I just wanted my spouse to do it with me. When she discovered RAMA and Katie Griggs ( AKA Guru Jagat ) she suddenly wanted to do yoga. I regrettably did not do any research as I usually do. So we were sucked into this Bhajan yoga cult big time. I was happy to be practicing yoga with my spouse ... Granted gfs and her elitist style and better than you attitude appeals to my spouse ...

I was attracted to all the great ordinary people practicing ...

This series really covers the bases well and i recommend people also check out the companion podcast temple of steal. It will prevent you and others getting sucked into this cult. I still teach yoga but not Bhajan yoga...

Thanks to the producers the crew and all the people who shared their experiences in this series ... amazingly well done... most of the negative reviews are posted by cult members so use your critical thinking... there are things one could critique about the series but I believe it gives a great general overview in a well produced way. Thanks.

I'm a believer in the benefits of yoga and meditation it does work. You may need guidance but paying thousands for someone to tell you how to be still is a bit ridiculous. I grew up in a household where yoga meditation where a normal part of life even though it was weird to all the rednecks around me I had a true understanding of it from actual Indians that li we by the yogi life. My farther is Hindu so a true respect for this is something that I learned through him. I never wore a turban or the garbs you see white people wearing to show how enlightened they are. It's not about what you where at all but that's what mainstream money making America needs so like the sheep we are we go along. True meditation is truly only done and found by you. Anyone can do this and everyone should experience the benefits of it without having to pay for it or to pay someone to open you up. Knowledge of yoga and meditation can be found and learned through research. Good for this woman and her followers but bad for her karma and gaining a profit off of the beautiful experiences. We each have the ability to become enlightened teach yourself and be patient it takes time and is worth the time but I promise it's not worth the money. Namaste.

As someone with personal experience of this cult I found the series to be very good. It's important for this information to reach people as the cult is still doing their best to rope new people in. I was fortunate enough to see through them during teacher training as the facts didn't add up a lot of the time. I know the organisation is using their standard damage control about disgruntled former employees/students as can be seen in some of the reviews here. I have seen some of the communications sent out to the teachers about what to say with regards to this series. However, the number of testimonials from survivors and the legal documents speak for themselves.
