In this video Yogi Bhajan said «Rape is always invited»:
This is an audio recording of Yogi Bhajan of a lecture given in Española, New Mexico. The recording was made on April 26, 1978. But neither Snatam Kaur nor the Swiss Kundalini Yoga teachers have sent Yogi Bhajan an invitation to rape them. We do not know of such an invitation. But what happened is this:
Snatam Kaur
learned in 2020 that «her spiritual teacher, Yogi Bhajan, who passed away in 2004, sexually abused many women in his lifetime»:
and she says that “I can no longer call Yogi Bhajan my spiritual teacher”
The Swiss Kundalini Yoga teacher
- Did not send Yogi Bhajan an invitation to rape them either. .
- Previously the Swiss Kundalini Yoga teachers could be found under:
- which was 3HO Switzerland.
- 3HO was founded by Yogi Bhajan.
- But the Swiss Kundalini Yoga teacher can now be found under:
https://swiss-kundalini-yoga.ch/
- and if you go to:
- you will be redirected to:
https://swiss-kundalini-yoga.ch/
Yogi Bhajan was accused posthumously of sexual abuse by several dozen of his female followers, and investigation called the «Olive Branch Report» found the allegations most likely true. This report was published in 2020. 3HO Switzerland was founded some years after the year 2000. And the Swiss Kundalini Yoga teachers changed the name of their association from 3HO Switzerland to Swiss Kundalini Yoga (SKY), we do not know in which year. 3HO is an organization which was founded by Yogi Bhajan and Swiss Kundalini Yoga (SKY) was not founded by Yogi Bhajan. And we do not know if there is a connection betweeen the accusations against Yogi Bhajan and the change of the name of the Swiss Kundalini Yoga teachers or not, but we suppose that it was the reason for the change of their name.
Rape is illegal
Yogi Bhajan says rape is always invited, but who invites someone to do something which is illegal?:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_the_United_States
Rape in the US where Yogi Bhajan lived is defined as penetration to a sex organ of another person without the consent of the victim. But who invites someone to rape him, to do something which is against his will, and is illegal? Eventually a lawyer would invite him to do so, to later on accuse him and apply for legal actions against him. But who else does it? Furthermore the statement rape is always invited can easily be refuted. One single example of a rape where there is proof that it was not invited is enough to to refute it.
How to prevent rape?
In one point Yogi Bhajan whas right: if someone makes clear immediately and specifically that he does not accept this and ask the Police for help as soon as possible then he found a good way to make a rape not happen.
If the Police is invited, too and present, the Police will prevent rape to happen.
