Breath of Fire documentary

[Dabidoe]

HBO produced a pretty interesting deep dive into Ra Ma Yoga, 3HO, Kundalini Yoga populizers focusing on "Yogi Bhajan" and "Guru Jagat" that was not so flattering. There seems to be a lot of fuckery in the "spirituality business." Essentially appropriating Sikh culture in a very hamfisted bastardized way, rape and abuse of it's "disciples" and indoctrinating disciples children into some messed up boarding school in India.

I've done some Kundalini yoga and found it useful, but didn't really like the "westernized yogi lifestyle brand/ideology." It's a shame that even the most well intentioned positive ideologies end up devolving into the same corrupt path taken by many mainstream religions and ideologies: corruption, greed, abuse of power.
