Master of Kundalini Yoga
Yogi Bhajan, 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.
