Why did you leave the Yoga ashram, people always ask
me, about the period I spent with Swami Satchidananda’s group in the early 1970s.
Well they got kind of extreme, I answer. They took vows of…
“Chastity?”
Yeah well even more than chastity. They called it Bramacharya.
After a visit from the Swami, the ashram began teaching a new kind of yoga where you have no sex at all. They say energy you would expel in sex instead gets channeled into a kundalini meditation to die for. So there they were, all the guys, all of a sudden wearing orange robes to show they'd taken Bramacharya vows.

People look at me and ask, “You took a vow of
chastity?”
I say, “Not me.
I got pregnant.”
I was running
the kitchen and I got knocked up.
By the guy who delivered the 50-pound sacks of brown rice.
