31 Women Started Speaking Out.. Inside Koh Phangan's Alleged Yoga S*x Cult

On the tropical Thai island of Koh Phangan, Agama Yoga became one of the world's largest tantric yoga schools, attracting students searching for spirituality, healing and personal transformation. Then former students began speaking out.

In 2018, fourteen women told the Guardian that Agama founder Narcis Tarcau, known as Swami Vivekananda Saraswati, had sexually assaulted or raped students under the guise of spiritual healing. Former members described an environment where sex with teachers was allegedly encouraged, criticism was blamed on negative karma, and vulnerable students were taught to distrust their own boundaries.

This episode examines the allegations, the culture surrounding Agama and how spiritual authority allegedly became a powerful tool of control.
