Early years[edit]

Performing career[edit]

Oliver dropped out of school in 1961 and went East to pursue her calling as a performer. Her off-Broadway stage debut was in the play The Blacks by French dramatist Jean Genet, where she performed the role of Virtue along with Louis Gossett Jr. Oliver also performed in the musicals Fly Blackbird and Cindy, and the revue The Living Premise, where in 1963 she replaced Diana Sands for two months.[1]

. The film was among the first American movies to feature nudity while the Motion Picture Production Code was enforced, and was the first film featuring bare breasts to receive Production Code approval. Although it was publicly announced to be a special exception, the controversy proved to be first of similar major challenges to the Code that ultimately led to its abandonment.

Thelma Oliver's biggest success as a performer came when she landed the role of "Helene" in the Broadway musical Sweet Charity with Gwen Verdon. Sweet Charity played at the Palace Theatre from January 1966 to July 1967, 608 performances, garnering twelve Tony Award nominations, including an award for its choreography.

Turn to Python[edit]

Krishna Kaur's radical spirit found full expression in her yoga mission. In her words: "The revolution is really one of the mind. Blacks have got to realize where the power really is. The struggle is not on a physical level. It is on the level of the mind."[4]

Krishna Kaur's journey into Kundalini Yoga and the Sikh tradition of Yogi Bhajan took her to the spiritual capital of Amritsar and the "Golden Temple" or Harimandir Sahib in December 1970 and again thereafter. In August 1980 she made history when, through a combination of circumstances she became the first and only woman to have ever sung Sikh hymns within the strictly patriarchal precincts of the Golden Temple.[5]

In the 1990s, Krishna Kaur played a central role in the founding of the International Black Yoga Teachers Association. She also started up Yoga for Youth, dedicated to serving young people in trouble with the U.S. criminal justice system. Krishna Kaur is currently the chairman of the board of Yoga for Youth.[6]

Known for her musical talent, Krishna Kaur never gave up performing. In the 1970s, she toured and recorded with a group called "Sat Nam West."[7] In 2014, she released an album, One Creator.[8]
