3HO Foundation and the United Nations

Since 1969, 3HO Foundation and the Global Community has been Living Yoga: practicing and sharing the teachings of Yogi Bhajan so we may service, inspire, and empower humanity to be healthy, happy, and holy (balancing body, mind, and spirit).

"Individual consciousness will refine you, group consciousness will expand you, and universal consciousness will redeem you to Infinity." ~Yogi Bhajan

3HO brings these teachings into all areas of life so that they may serve to elevate the quality of life for all. Both as individuals and in working together, members of the 3HO Global Community have chosen to focus on projects that support women, children, people with addictions, people with diseases, and sustainability projects, including vegetarianism. We believe in living in peace and as agents of change. For this reason, 3HO strongly supports the goals and work of the UN, and it is our intention, as a worldwide network of caring, committed individuals, to support the work of the UN through sharing the technology of living a healthy, happy, and holy lifestyle.

This year, 3HO Foundation International is expanding upon its work with the United Nations. Our goal is to engage the Global Community in three important UN-sponsored celebrations:

• International Women’s Day March 8
• International Mother Earth Day April 22
• International Day of Peace September 21 (coming soon!)

To enhance the Global Communities participation, 3HO will be suggesting related community service events members can initiate and/or participate in; and a global meditation through Aquarian Times. In addition, 3HO IKYTA will be providing a Kundalini Yoga as Taught by Yogi Bhajan® curriculum specifically aligned with the intent of each celebration. 3HO and IKYTA gives these to you the Global Community to share spiritual goodwill in support of each celebration.

In response to the UN initiative to address substance abuse, IKYTA will offer a three-class series consisting of essential technologies to heal addiction and drug residue. When Yogi Bhajan came to the United States in the late sixties, he was dismayed to see so many people damaged by substance abuse; his desire to offer relief to those afflicted lent a sense of urgency to his mission to share his knowledge of yoga. The three-class series will be presented at Summer and Winter Solstices.
