A man, A Teacher
Harbhajan Singh Khalsa, known as Yogi Bhajan, founded the 3HO Foundation in 1969.
He came to Canada in 1968 and began sharing what he had learned from his spiritual teachers in India. With the motto, “Keep up and you‘ll be kept up”, and the ever-repeated goal to inspire teachers and leaders rather than gather students, he travelled tirelessly throughout the world teaching and counselling.
The community of yogis who learnt from him spread quickly across North America and Europe, with ashrams popping up in many cities, including London, Amsterdam and Rome. He gave us the inspiration for the first European Yoga Festival in 1978. By offering a complete way of life informed by the science of Kundalini Yoga, he inspired and changed thousands of lives.
Yogi Bhajan was a Sikh, and many of his students became inspired by the teachings of the Sikh Gurus, and chose to live the path of Sikhi. Sikh Dharma International and 3HO were created to help students grow in this lifestyle.
He understood that the world was poised at the transition of the age from piscean to aquarian and the knowledge of the ancient wisdom combined with a modern understanding made him a truly contemporary master and leader.
Kundalini Yoga being the “yoga of the householder”. He encouraged his students not to withdraw into spiritual life, but to fully live both the spiritual and worldly lives-He inspired his students to form a variety of businesses, the most famous being Yogi Tea.
Yogi Bhajan created Miri Piri Academy, a dharmic and yogic international school for children in Amritsar, and the Kundalini Research Institute, the certifying body for teacher-training courses throughout the world.
He left his physical body in 2004, leaving a legacy of a growing community on all continents.
