00:01I'm Guru Jagat and I want to introduce you to Kundalini Yoga.

00:05The American has built a multi-million dollar business as a yoga master to the stars.

00:10She's like the Kim Kardashian of the spiritual world.

00:14I never understood why there weren't more questions about a white woman in a turban.

00:20Inhale.

00:21My teacher, Yogi Bhajan, gave every ounce of his day and night to delivering this canon of teachings.

00:32He's credited with bringing Kundalini to the West.

00:35He offers his students a prescriptive lifestyle.

00:39What to eat, when you should have sex with your spouse, and having money was a sign that you were doing it right.

00:44Much like Yogi Bhajan, Guru Jagat had everyone under her spell.

00:48Those who hold the powers of these teachings will rule the earth for 5,000 years.

00:55She said, the more money you give to your teacher, you rise the ranks of like spiritual attainment.

01:02That's what I would call a Kundalini awakening.

01:05She was promoting spiritual practice that she believed in.

01:09Unfortunately, it was mostly made up by Yogi Bhajan.

01:13He needed his secretaries to help run the organizations.

01:16But they were all women?

01:17Yeah, it raised a lot of suspicions.

01:19He created this empire of abuse, and she chose to take on this persona.

01:24Along with that comes paranoia, and things started to get weirder and weirder.

01:30The FBI is watching. His phones are being tapped.

01:34The things that children were put through.

01:36These people are so much worse than I ever could have imagined.

01:40When these revelations came out, everything went crazy for everybody.

01:44The walls were closing in on her.

01:46Your reality is a trance of your own making.

01:52Or someone else's making, who doesn't have your greatest good in mind.
