3HO Stories
As the holiday season reminds us of giving, a story pops into my mind.
When traveling to India with the Siri
Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan, many things were quite evident. The
clearest one was that my suburban background did not prepare me adequately
for India’s unique experience.
When we were in Delhi, we would often frequent some of his old hangouts.
The first one on his list was Gaylord’s
Restaurant in Connaught
Place. One day as we were leaving the restaurant, a begging family
approached. Please understand many of these people are professional
beggars, and their routines are not done
out of desperation. Nevertheless, they beg for money as many in India
do.
I turned to Yogi Bhajan and asked him “Sir, do I need to give
to all these who ask for money?” He replied, “No, son,
you don’t. But I do.” After hearing that, I just reached
in my pocket and began the blessed and endless journey of learning
how to give to those who ask.
Stay tuned,

Sat
Nam Dear Family,
Today I remembered something that made me smile about my days with
the Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan. When we were in LA, I would pick
him up at Dr.
Allen’s house, where he lived, and we would journey off
to Beverly Hills for lunch at La
Scala. Afterwards, we would either go to a movie, or walk down
Beverly
Drive to visit various shops. Many times as we walked down the
street, he would grab my hand and hold it tightly. This is a typical
Punjabi cultural habit, but I must admit, although I love my teacher
with all my heart, I never felt comfortable holding hands with him
as we walked down Beverly Drive. It tested my self-confidence and
self-image, and back in those days, I was never able to go beyond
the embarrassment. It’s funny how time brings a different perspective
on this sort of thing. A lot has happened since then, and I only wish
he were present today so I could show him my honor in once more grabbing
his hand.
Stay tuned,
