As Yogi Bhajan put it, first, through practicing Kundalini Yoga, you become healthy, then happy, and when you have achieved both of those, you have set the stage for becoming holy. Which is how he came up with the name 3HO (Healthy, Happy, Holy, Organization).
Yoga has become very popular in the Western world these days, but of what is being taught as Yoga is just one portion of the traditional Eight Steps of Yoga. That is, people are being taught postures and yoga-like calisthenics in the name of Yoga, but Yoga is not just a form of calisthenics. Postures, breath control, chanting and meditation are an integral part of yoga, but not the totality. They are tools to aid you in harnessing your physical structure and your mind to serve your higher consciousness. This is what Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan is about, to combine all the aspects of yoga, lifestyle & diet towards serving your higher consciousness.
Community: Over the years, a substantial worldwide 3HO community has developed. It has three aspects:
(1) Kundalini Yoga students and teachers;
(2) Kundalini Yoga students and teachers, many of whom have adopted the Sikh way of life.
(3) Sikhs who relate to the Siri Singh Sahib (Yogi Bhajan’s Sikh Ministerial title) as a guide and/or have become a part of the 3HO community.
