Mahan Kirn was born into the Kundalini Yoga world. Her parents were American converts who had gone from being free-spirited hippies to devout disciples of Yogi Bhajan, unaware that he would sexually abuse more than a dozen women in his community, including their daughter. In 2020, Mahan Kirn was the primary whistleblower in the Yogi Bhajan sexual assault revelations that instigated the report by An Olive Branch and inspired dozens of other women to come forward. She stands against any abuse and sits in deep compassion and forgiveness for all.
