Facing a warrant for his arrest from the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Bikram Choudhury, the guru who founded Bikram Yoga, has fled the United States refusing to pay a court-ordered judgement of about $7 million in damages. This judgement resulted from a wrongful termination and sexual harassment lawsuit filed by his former legal adviser, Minakshi Jafa-Boden. But as Daniel and Brady discovered, the legal, ethical and spiritual controversies surrounding Bikram Yoga go much deeper than this one lawsuit.<br><br><br><strong>ADDITIONAL RESOURCES</strong><br><br><ul> <br><li>Our free 4-page Profile on Bikram Yoga by Brady Blevins: <a href="https://www.watchman.org/ProfileBikramYoga.pdf">www.watchman.org/ProfileBikramYoga.pdf</a> </li> <br><li>Our free 4-page Profile on Yoga by Robert Velarde: <a href="https://www.watchman.org/staff/jwalker/ProfileYoga.pdf">www.watchman.org/staff/jwalker/ProfileYoga.pdf</a> </li> <br><li>"Yoga: Exercise or Religious Practice" by Brad Scott: <a href="https://www.watchman.org/articles/new-age/yoga--exercise-or-religious-practice/">www.watchman.org/articles/new-age/yoga--exercise-or-religious-practice/</a> </li> <br><li> <em>Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator</em> (Nov. 2019; Netflix Original Official Trailer on YouTube: <a href="http://www.bit.ly/BikramYouTube">www.bit.ly/BikramYouTube</a>)</li> <br> </ul><br><p><strong>FREE</strong>: We are also offering a free subscription to our 4-page bimonthly Profiles here: <a href="https://www.watchman.org/Free">www.watchman.org/Free</a>.</p><br><br><br><p><strong>SUPPORT</strong>: Help us create more content like this.
