[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 138652, member: 35"] Update Yogi's widow sues Sikh business managers in Oregon EUGENE -- The widow of Yogi Bhajan has sued the managers overseeing the businesses of the Sikh community her husband founded, including Golden Temple, a longtime Eugene natural foods company. Golden Temple, which previously had annual revenue of $125 million, sold its cereal division in May. It still operates Yogi Tea, which has 50 employees in Springfield and 100 employees in Europe. The widow, Bibiji Inderjit Kaur Puri of Los Angeles, alleged that her husband's most trusted advisers drew up false documents and backdated them to make it appear as if he had approved what she described as their abandonment of orthodox Sikh practices, their takeover of the community's businesses and the exclusion of his family members from the management board. Bibiji alleged that once they secured their power, members of the management board Unto Infinity, which includes Golden Temple CEO Kartar Singh Khalsa enriched themselves and Golden Temple managers at the expense of the Sikh Dharma religious community. Gary Roberts, Unto Infinity's attorney, did not respond to a request for comment Monday, but he has denied similar allegations in other lawsuits. The widow's lawsuit, which was filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court in Portland, alleges that Unto Infinity authorized raises and perks for its members, including boosting Khalsa's salary from $125,000 in 2002 to $850,000 in 2008. It also alleges that Unto Infinity members conspired with Golden Temple managers to sell the company's cereal division at below-market value to a group of Golden Temple managers in 2007, who then two years later resold it at a much higher price. Bibiji is asking for damages of $150 million. She wants the current managers removed and for her to be installed as the sole manager. She also wants the managers to pay back any of what she terms their ill-gotten gains. Hers is the third lawsuit to accuse Unto Infinity members of breaking their fiduciary duty to safeguard the Sikh Dharma community's assets and of personally profiting instead. The other two lawsuits one filed by Sikh Dharma ministers and the other by Oregon Attorney General John Kroger were consolidated earlier this month. Bibiji soon will file a motion asking that this lawsuit be consolidated with the other two, her attorney, Surjit Soni, said Monday. In the lawsuit, Bibiji said that before his death in 2004, her husband directed Sopurkh Kaur Khalsa, Unto Infinity's president, to add the yogi's wife and three children "to the management boards of whatever business entities the family members wanted." Bibiji was added to the Unto Infinity board "by unanimous written consent" on July 26, 2004, according to the lawsuit. But Bibiji said she was not informed of this and didn't discover it until March 2010. Along with Bibiji, the other plaintiffs in the lawsuit are her sons, Ranbir Singh Bhai and Kulbir Singh Puri, and her daughter, Kamaljit Kaur Kohli. They sued Unto Infinity members Sopurkh Kaur Khalsa; Peraim Kaur Khalsa; Siri Karm Kaur Khalsa and Kartar Singh Khalsa; former Unto Infinity member Siri Ram Kaur Khalsa; Golden Temple CFO Karam Singh Khalsa; Roy Lambert, Yogi Bhajan's business attorney for 25 years; and Siri Singh Sahib Corp., an Oregon nonprofit corporation.
