A response to SYDA’s denial
An anonymous contributor identifying as a victim of Muktananda’s sexual abuse reacts to the SYDA Foundation’s response to the lawsuit:
I am experiencing a lot of anger and sadness around the response of complete denial to the complaint. Such harm was done to us and to have it all denied in writing by a lawyer just sets the whole thing off for me again. I guess I was hoping there would be an admission of what happened. I’m not really sure what I was hoping for or thinking and I do completely understand they are doing legal posturing, and yet, my emotional self just feels lost and her rights and value as a person dismissed. I gave myself, body, mind and heart for over three decades of my life and this is what I’m getting back in return. I loved so deeply and with such purity and abandon. I feel so betrayed. Again.
