Coming VICE documentary

We’ve received word that the VICE program, “True Believers”,featuring the SSSC and 3HO, will begin airing on 11 April 2022. While we have not yet seen the show ourselves, sources have indicated that the coverage of our organizationsand the practiceof Kundalini Yogais likely to be slanted and may paintan unbalanced picture of our communityand practices. We have prepared some basic information here to assist you, if needed, in dealing with the impact of this program.

Global Meditation to project for peace

We encourage everyone to be chanting the “Sat Narayan Wahe Guru, Hari Narayan Sat Nam” mantra to project for the end to all wars around the globe. 

3HO Europe has organized a daily online practice that anyone can join via their website.

More transparency

At your request, KRI has a new webpage that describes the standing committees, how you can participate, links to previous meeting notes, etc. Check it out here.

Diversity Equity & Inclusion

KRI’s goal is to have our Level One graduates, members of the ATA, KRI’s staff and KRI’s board of directors to be fully representative of the communities we serve – and that means representative across all dimensions (such as race, gender and sexual identity, geography, socio-economic status, education level, etc.). We aren’t there yet, and so we need to keep inquiring about why. Why are there so few trainers of color? Why are the percentages of Level 1 graduates of color less than in the broader community? Until we can understand and address these issues, we won’t be as effective as we need to be in sharing the technology of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation. A piece of this is our annual demographic survey – which will be part ofthe trainer licensing process this summer.

Reminder of the L2 Manuals International Distribution Policy

In October 2019 a new policy governing the distribution of L2 manuals in the English language and the available translation was approved. Its implementation for the L2 English manuals started by February 2020. You can read the complete Policy in HERE.

Copyright info: The Level One and Level Two manuals are copyrighted materials managed by KRI. This means that any reproduction, transmission and distribution of these materials – including photocopying or recording – without formal and written agreement constitutes copyright violation, so please do not email students PDF copies (even though this is how the Level 2 manuals used to be done)!

Diversity Equity & Inclusion

We continue to look at our welcoming nature, how to be more welcoming and inclusive to communities of color around the world. As a global community, this is a complex but much needed exploration.  Our 2^nd annual ATA demographic survey will be held as part of the relicensing process this June; measuring how diverse are we and how can we grow in our awareness. Please take the time when you relicense to thoughtfully review this survey and answer the questions.

Vital Source access issue

KRI has heard of a few trainers being locked out of their VitalSource accounts (for access to the digital versions of the Level One and Level Two teacher training manuals) for “suspicious activity.” 

If this happens to you, you will have to contact VitalSource directly to regain access.  We aren’t 100% sure what is causing it, but it may be attempts to print the entire book.

Decision making principles

In this link, you can see the results of our recent poll about decision-making principles. The results show that all Values are important (An average above four). However, seven of the principles need more discussion; because they received more than 2 “I can not live with this principle,” or more than 4 “I can not live” + “I dislike.” Those 7 Principles are in Orange in the Document.

KRI is committed to listening to all voices, and we are creating an opportunity for discussion – especially for those of you who disagree with some suggested principles.

If you are one of those who have concerns or strongly disagree with any principle(s), please write your reasons to us ([email protected]) and/or register for a meeting with the Global Advisory Committee on Feb 9, 2022 10:00 AM Mountain Time

Once we finalize those principles, we will focus on how to use them for decision-making. Thank you to you all who are contributing to this process.

As a “heads up” to you all, we expect an hour long documentary, produced by VICE World News, about 3HO and Yogi Bhajan to be shown on some major network early in 2022 (we will let you know more precisely when it will air when we find out). 

They have informed us that, “The programme will also look at the allegations of sexual abuse against Yogi Bhajan from members and former members of 3HO. The programme will also hear from members and former members of 3HO who deny those allegations. We look at allegations of harsh living conditions within the boarding schools and ashrams. We also look at allegations of corruption within the businesses of 3HO followers.”

Key principles to guide KRI’s changes

On October 5th we had two sets of conversations facilitated by Just Outcomes. 

Participants began a process of enumerating key principles to guide our collective work around the role of hierarchies within the Academy, and how best to hold space for Trainers’ diverse relationships with the legacy of Yogi Bhajan.

Some of us KRI staff are still organizing the notes from these meetings, and we’ll reflect back in the next trainer update email the principles that emerged and an invitation to an activity where all of you can help take the next steps with these principles.
