Mahan Tantric
“In White Tantric Yoga energy is created en masse to purify the physical and mental bodies, and the soul, which is already pure, starts relating to the very existence of the being.” ~Yogi Bhajan, March 1972, Washington, D.C. One Mahan Tantric at a Time The following was written by SS Siri Brahma Singh Khalsa, Los Angeles, CA (who later married Sardarni Premka Kaur, now Pamela Dyson), and published in 1979 in the book, The Man Called the Siri Singh Sahib (a book compiled by Premka Kaur). In 1971, Yogi Bhajan told his secretary that he had just become the Mahan Tantric. She, out of her curiosity, asked him…

Honoring Yogi Bhajan: “He Said, ‘I’ve Already Heard It'” – Guru Shabad Singh
“Sat Nam. Happy Yogi Bhajan’s birthday. One time, I was approached by a couple of ladies who had been doing the Aad Such Meditation. They wanted to know if I would put the mantra to music for them. I said, ‘I’d be honored.’ So I began playing: Aad Such, Jugaad Such… Then my telephone rang. I had two lines, so I picked up the phone and said, ‘Hello?’ No one was there. I picked up the other line. ‘Hello?’ No one was there either. I thought, ‘That’s strange.’ So I went back to my guitar, and then the phone rang…

Honoring Yogi Bhajan: “He Changed My Life” – Rajveer Singh
“The Siri Singh Sahib Yogi Bhajan changed my life. He blessed me. He changed my life. I don’t fully understand it — I stand under that experience. He was a very powerful personality, teacher, and master of Kundalini Yoga. He loved Guru Ram Das. I was messing around a lot as a teenager, being a young Punjabi man. I had really messed around, and the yoga and meditation he taught sorted out my brain and brought me to Guru Ram Das. Yogi Bhajan brought me to Guru Ram Das.” –Rajveer Singh.

Honoring Yogi Bhajan: “The 3 Things He Taught Me” – Gurubachan Singh Khalsa
“One day, he was looking–he looked at me with this fire in his eyes, and he said: ‘You earthlings don’t know anything. Moses came, nothing changed in humanity. Abraham came, humanity did not change. Christ came, humanity has not changed. People are still suffering. Nothing has changed.’ And I sayd, ‘Well, sir, this is very interesting because I thought we were, you know, we’re supposed to be agents of change in this Aquarian Age; and he says: ‘See? You earthlings don’t know anything.’ He said, ‘There are three things in your life:#1: Show up, be present.#2: Deliver what you have…

Discover The History of Summer Solstice (p. 03)
Transcript: …And with Ram Das Puri, what ended up happening is that we were really looking for land near Española, because we had the ashram in Española. Before that, it was the ashram in Santa Fe, and then it moved to Española. So we wanted it somewhere near there. Yogi Ji really wanted it to be on the land around where we actually bought it, but the real estate agents were saying, “No, there’s nothing there. That’s only BLM land, and there’s also Native American land, but there’s no private land there.” The Hopi had actually told him by that…

Discover The History of Summer Solstice (p. 01)
Transcript: The first Summer Solstice that 3HO was part of was actually not a 3HO event. It was an event organized mainly by two hippie communes: the Hog Farm and the Juke Savages. A lot of the people in these communes, especially in the Juke Savages, were students of Yogi Ji. He had a pink turban because that day he had lost all of his clothes, so he was borrowing clothes from other people. Really, it wasn’t all about Kundalini Yoga. Kundalini Yoga was just part of the day. Yogi Bhajan also officiated weddings there and gave talks. Then, the…

3HO’s First Solstice Gathering
As shared by Livtar Singh Khalsa in the January 2007 Aquarian Times. The charge to attend the first 3HO sponsored Summer Solstice Celebration in 1970 was $5.00. We were outraged! How dare they charge money for a spiritual experience! And so much! It was held at Santa Clara Canyon, some kind of alpine heaven between Espanola and Los Alamos, New Mexico. It had a clear mountain stream, meadows of long sweet grass, and tall, beautiful pine trees. “Wow,” I thought when I first saw it, “This is the kind of place to have an experience.” Little did I know. My…

Winter Solstice Time
“The relationship between you and me is that of the rising and setting sun; you are rising, and I am setting. It is my duty to make sure that as I set, you rise. That is why I am asking you to overcome every obstacle and come to Solstice. When you come to Solstice, you are doing something perfectly, beautifully selfish, for your soul. Renew yourself now. Develop that grit, that commitment to excel. Accept your des tiny today, so that when I set, tomorrow you can rise and accept the challenge.” – Yogi Bhajan Livtar Singh Khalsa took this…

I Like 3HO
Listen to this song written by Guru Dass Singh circa 1970s: Here are the lyrics to this song: Well, it all started in 69, American Hippie scene. There came a yogi from the eastern lands saying things ain’t what they seem. He said be Healthy, just keep on going; Happy, keep the Spirit flowing; Holy, I like 3HO.
