Mahani is a Los Angeles-based yogi and healer who has spent over 30 years teaching tens of thousands of students around the world and helping hundreds of clients heal when nothing else worked. Born into an ashram and raised practicing Kundalini Yoga, spirituality is in her blood. Her unique life experiences—including surviving major traumas like sexual abuse, a near-fatal accident where she was hit by a bus in India, paralysis that left her in a wheelchair, and navigating chronic illness—have shaped her healing journey.Despite being told she would never walk again, she healed herself and now dedicates her life to guiding others through their own healing transformations. She has worked with A-list celebrities, including Brad Pitt, helping them find balance and peace through her methods.About HBO's Breath of Fire:YouTube astrologer Katie Griggs rose to fame as the face of Kundalini yoga and reinvented herself as Guru Jagat, attracting followers — including celebrities and fee-paying devotees — with promises of prosperity, physical health, and spiritual fulfillment. Breath of Fire offers a multi-decade examination of the corruption within Kundalini yoga and a portrait of a misguided guru and master manipulator, spotlighting the uneasy nexus of the American dream, self-invention, and fanatical ideology.https://www.hbo.com/breath-of-firehttps://www.mahankirn.com

Suuzi and I continue the discussion sparked by my last episode about culty trends in the wellness space by talking about her past with Kundalini yoga- what drew her in and, eventually, how noticing the state of nourishment of those deepest into the cult precipitated her exit. We then catch listeners up on our midlife metabolic meltdown hEaLinG jOuRnEyS and what path we're taking forward as we continue to recover our vitality and deepen our understanding of why women's bodies are so metabolically expensive. Patreon bonuses for this episode include an extended conversation w/ Suuz about the reaction to the German New Medicine episode (114) & how it surprisingly kindled a discussion amongst patrons about a remarkably similar ideology, a 10% off coupon code for Suuzi's grass fed, grass finished liver pills, and a chance to ask us questions.

Bringing you an extra special Part 2 for today's bonus episode with Jules Hartley.  You may have heard of Kundalini yoga from its popularity with celebrities, but you might be less familiar with its culty history. Invented in the late 60s by a guru-turned-cult leader named Yogi Bhajan, Kundalini is an intensive form of yoga that weirdly uses breathing exercises to manipulate people. After its founder died in 2004, one of his followers, Guru Jagat, picked up where he left off. Jagat founded the Ra Ma Institute, which she ran more like a cult than a yoga studio.  Our guest today, Jules Hartley, escaped Ra Ma in 2017. She's featured in the HBO docuseries “Breath of Fire” about the cult of Kundalini yoga. Jules is here to tell us about her experience with Guru Jagat, and we'll also get into the media's portrayal of cult survivors.  Kundalini has an incredibly dark history that includes child and sexual abuse, so trigger warning this week.

Directed by first time documentary directors Haley Pappas and Smiley Stevens, Breath of Fire was released on MAX in October as a four-part documentary series. Breath of Fire is based on the 2021 Vanity Fair piece The Second Coming of Guru Jagat by Hayley Phelan, who also appears in and executive produced the series. It tells the story of Kundalini yoga practitioner turned de facto cult leader/professional grifter Katie Griggs, known to her followers as Guru Jagat. Throughout its four hours, Breath of Fire touches on some recurring themes and questions, such as the power of religious fraud, abuse, orientalism, and what exactly it is that people rally want from religion. This week, Kelly and John try to unpack its often enlightening, often disturbing implications.

There is a new HBO Max 4-part documentary called Breath of Fire on the cult of Guru Jagat and Harijiwan Singh Khalsa, her controller. The doc is very well done and was based on a Vanity Fair article, “The Second Coming of Guru Jagat” by Hayley Phelan. “Breath of Fire: The Unbelievable Story of Guru Jagat, the Elizabeth Holmes of Yoga” is Hillary Busis' follow up article about the docuseries. Many celebrities have been associated with Bhajan's cult of kundalini.We interviewed a former insider who appeared in the series, Peter Blachly, who wrote the book The Inner Circle: My Seventeen Years in the Cult of the American Sikhs. It is another look into a fabulously wealthy cult founded by a total fraud. The cult continues and there are disciples the world over still recruiting and harming people. Of interested is if you have ever used Yogi Tea or heard of Akal Security which Homeland Security gave a fortune to this cult for “security.” There is great value in learning about other cult leaders and how they bewitch people to work without pay, get sexually violated and continue to believe.

We're chatting with her about what she thought she was getting into when she first collided with Guru Jagat; when it all started to go off the rails; and how she's turning the page after a chapter marked by an epically Bad Boss and a cult within a cult.    Shownotes: The late Guru Jagat, born Katie Griggs, was a prominent figure in the world of Kundalini Yoga. At the height of her fame she was reportedly a personal guru to Hollywood stars like Kate Hudson and Alicia Keys. She was also a magnet for controversy, and a staunch defender of none other than Yogi Bhajan. In case you don't know who that is, he is credited with bringing Kundalini to the west, and was later accused of rape, sexual misconduct, and financial wrongdoing.    About Charlotte Medlock:   Charlotte Medlock is a marketing specialist based in Los Angeles.

First, there was Guru Bhajan. A self proclaimed master of what he called Kundalini Yoga. Later known as an ab*ser on every level, he died and left a gaping hole in the Western market for the next “master” to step in as a celebrity Guru. Enter Guru Jagat. A charismatic female leader who started her own school, attracting young, enthusiastic millennials who wore all white with turbans to her classes. Filled with promises of enlightenment, abundance and more, one of her followers, Charlotte, became a very important employee of Jagat's. Sleep deprived, over worked and underpaid, she slowly spiraled out and lost all sense of her original identity.Click here to watch on YouTube Find Charlotte on SocialTikTok: @charlotte.medlockInstagram: @charlottesface Our C2C vacation where we can meet you in real life and go on adventures together has 5 spots left!  Click here to go to the official booking page Guru Jagat, Yogi Bhajan, and Kundalini YogaHow Charlotte met Guru Jagat aka Katie GriggsThe techniques learned in Kundalini yogaThe money printing meditationCharlotte wanted to work for Guru JagatCharlotte started working full time for Guru Jagat for cheapWas Guru Jagat working with celebs and making a lot?The point it all started unravelingDid Charlotte feel like she was growing?What the work environment was like with the co workersWhat led to Charlotte quittingGuru Jagat giving Charlotte validationCharlotte was ostracized from family and friendsThe culty things that started to wake Charlotte upHow is Charlotte now that she's reset?Guru Jagat passed awayCharlotte's "consciousness" nowOur Merch!

From LA with Love is an episodic journey into the center of the Hollywood Donut. On this episode, discover the cult of the Hollywood Buddhists, the maniacal reign of Guru Jagat, and the wild practice of hyperventilation and orgasmic emotional release in a room full of strangers.

Before her sudden death in 2021, Guru Jagat had become a famous Kundalini yoga teacher based in Los Angeles. But as the global pandemic grew, she started talking like a far-right coronavirus conspiracy theorist. What does her journey down the rabbit hole tell us about the appeal of conspiracies in the yoga and wellness community? Yoga's "Queen of Conspiracy Theories" explores Guru Jagat's rise to fame and follows along as she responds not just to the pandemic, but to a #metoo movement scandal that rocked the Kundalini yoga world in early 2020. It also explores themes of misinformation, how a healthy distrust in government and medicine can turn dark, the "relativism around truth" in the wellness industry and the influence of social media on radicalization. The series first came out in December 2022. We're republishing it because it's one of our favorites and remains relevant. We've updated the series with a fourth episode. In this first episode, Guru Jagat starts the pandemic with an understandable skepticism of official medical advice, but quickly grows to embrace an array of far-right conspiracy theories.  Grow your business–no matter what stage you're in.
