Indian yoga guru Bikram Choudhury is fined with 6.5 million dollars by a Los Angeles court this week. This amount would be awarded to the Minakshi Jafa-Bodden who alleged Bikram for misbehaving with her. Minakshi was once a legal adviser to Bikram who is famous for his trendy `Hot Yoga’ in America. This yoga is performed in a heated room with 26 postures. Bikram once had many celebrities such as Madonna as his students. Minakshi alleged that Choudhury harassed her while she worked for him and that she was fired after she began investigating claims that he raped a yoga student. During cross examination, though Bikram denied the allegations, he had to admit to amass huge wealth through yoga classes. Bikram owns 40 luxury cars and lavish mansions, acquired through his Hot Yoga. Though it’s not new for Bikram to face sexual charges, this time the court seems to be convinced of his misconduct. While this judgment seems to uncover the holiness of one more guru, Bikram has not just disgraced himself, but his country as well!
