Master of Kundalini Yoga
August 26, 1929 – October 6, 2004
"If you cannot see God in all, you cannot see God at
all."
"The law of spirituality is; obey, serve, love and accept."
Kundalini
Yoga is considered the most comprehensive of yogas, combining
meditation, prayer, physical practices and breathing exercises.
“Kundalini” literally means “the curl of the
lock of hair of the beloved.” This poetic metaphor alludes
to the flow of energy and consciousness that exists within each
of us, and enables us to merge with – or “yoke”
– the universal Self. Fusing individual and universal consciousness
creates a divine union, called “yoga.” The Upanishads,
Hindu’s sacred scriptures that date back to the fifth century
B.C., describe Kundalini Yoga, although the oral tradition reaches
back even further into history. For thousands of years, this sacred
science and technology was veiled in secrecy, passed along verbally
from master to chosen disciple.
Yogi Bhajan broke with this long-held tradition of silence. A
master of Kundalini Yoga by the age of 16 – itself a rare
feat – he held his first class at a Los Angeles high school
gym on January 5, 1969. Then a 39-year-old recent émigré
from India, he had left behind a lucrative governmental career
with the vision of bringing Yoga to the West. No matter that not
a single person was present that evening; he proceeded to teach
to the empty hall.
In the turbulent, drug culture of the 60s, Yogi Bhajan first reached
out to the youth. He recognized that their experimentation with
drugs and “altered states of consciousness” expressed
a deeper desire to experience a holistic, liberating sense of
awareness. Soon realizing that pharmaceuticals provided, at best,
a cheap imitation to the peaceful, inner euphoria they could get
naturally from Kundalini Yoga, and at worst, had debilitating
physical and mental side effects, young people began flocking
to his classes, arriving by the busloads. Soon 3HO,
Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization, teaching centers began
springing up across the United States and then throughout the
world.
He sparked a movement whose many tendrils have wound their way
into our culture. Through 3HO, Yogi Bhajan blazed a trail. Today,
after more than 30 years of determined effort on the part of this
organization and others, yoga and meditation have gained widespread
acceptance in the West. Witness the frequent feature articles
that graced the covers of such publications as Time, Newsweek,
and The Wall Street Journal. This popular attention speaks not
only to the proven benefits of yoga and meditation, but to the
increased public interest in spirituality
and a healthy diet.
Born Harbhajan Singh, in what is now Pakistan, to a family of
healers and community leaders, Yogi Bhajan studied comparative
religion and Vedic philosophy in his undergraduate years, going
on to receive his Masters in Economics with honors from the Punjab
University. Years later, he earned his Ph.D. in communications
psychology from the University of Humanistic Studies in San Francisco.
Over the years, he has emerged as a religious, community and business
leader with a distinguished reputation as a man of peace, world-vision,
wisdom, and compassion. He authored and published more than 30
books on topics ranging from spirituality and consciousness to
communication and psychology. He founded several food product
companies that manufacture and distribute natural products based
on these teachings. He fostered economic development in every
community in which he has participated. He annually conducted
business seminars, and he authored several books that provide
guidance to both the aspiring entrepreneur and seasoned business
executive alike. As the Siri
Singh Sahib, the chief Sikh leader
in the Western Hemisphere, he met with Pope John Paul II to discuss
inter-religious dialogue and he worked side-by-side with the Dalai
Lama and the Archbishop of Canterbury to foster world peace.
