Isha Foundation is turning into another Dera adda. After police raids and some investigations, things are coming out in the open.
Here women and children are molested, raped and illtreated the preliminary investigation revealed.Former Isha employee Yamini Ragani and her husband Satya N. Ragani levelled serious allegations of rape, molestation and misconduct at the Isha Foundation of Jaggi Vasudev.
The ashram in Tamil Nadu recently faced raids before it appealed to the Supreme Court. Ragani described the Isha Foundation as “a breeding ground for child abuse.”
“Children are mentally abused, verbally abused, and more.
They don’t even teach children properly. There are no qualified teachers,” she alleged. She further noted that there are no redressal or sexual harassment committee at the organisations either.
Ragani alleged that her son, a former student of Isha Home School, was a victim of abuse. The couple shared accounts of other children being mistreated, including an eight-year-old girl.
According to Yamini, the Sadhguru never came to console the children.
The couple questioned the foundation’s authority to operate independently and without regulation. “This can be highly exploitative,” Yamini said. Since 2016, six individuals have reportedly gone missing from the Isha Foundation’s premises in Coimbatore, according to disclosures made by Tamil Nadu police to the Madras High Court.
