How Narcissistic Yoga Guru Jagat Exploited Her Followers

Cults to Consciousness

Feb 24 2024 • 1 hr 2 mins

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.
