Guru Jagat leverages social media to spread the teachings of Yogi Bhajan, a leader who brought Kundalini yoga to the U.S. in 1969.
As Kundalini yoga hits the mainstream, Guru Jagat opens the RA MA Institute in Los Angeles, claiming direct links to Yogi Bhajan.
The lavish lifestyle that Yogi Bhajan led with are now the luxuries that Guru Jagat enjoys as the spiritual leader of RA MA Institute. Former RA MA employees describe the business model of the company and the increasingly erratic behavior of Guru Jagat. A tell-all 2020 memoir changes the narrative about Bhajan but Guru Jagat and RA MA continue to staunchly and publicly defend Yogi Bhajan's legacy.
A growing movement online builds to discredit RA MA and Guru Jagat, calling on aggrieved members to come forward with their stories of abuse. COVID-19 hits and Guru Jagat’s messaging espouses wild conspiracy theories and a mistrust of the mainstream while her business and health begins to quickly unravel.
