The Teacher Within: Tratakum Meditation
In the yogic scriptures it says, “Even a glance from the eyes of a holy man can cure mental and physical imbalances.” Once in a very great while there is a picture that has a transcendent quality of neutrality that allows the person gazing at it to go through it and into their higher consciousness.

Healthy Happy Holy Breath
Reposted from Awaken.

This year, 2019, is amazingly the 50th anniversary of 3HO. Yogi Ji created the Healthy Happy Holy Organization, that’s 3HO. For 46 of those years 3HO has been my family and international community. It turns out that my sister Guru Raj Kaur in Vancouver Canada is also part of this spiritual community. You may also know my niece, Nirinjan Kaur (the younger) the singer…

3HO Europe – the ’70s and ’80s
by S.S. Sardar Singh Khalsa, Oslo, Norway, as shared in the 1988 edition of the Beads of Truth, a 3HO Foundation publication. To fully convey the impressions that are deepest within me of the early years in Europe, I wish I could show moving pictures and video glimpses of expressions and situations: like Tantric in Holland, the Siri Singh Sahib’s eyes as he counselled, welcoming smiles in Hamburg, a Golden Temple Restaurant kitchen scene.
