The largest explosion of westerners to become Sikhs

Traveling extensively, Yogi Bhajan crusaded tirelessly to educate, uplift, and enlighten everyone he met. His basic message was ” It is your birthright to be healthy, happy, and holy “.

Increasing numbers of Yogi Bhajan’s students began teaching Kundalini Yoga, and families and communities grew in New Mexico and all over the world, many embracing the Sikh tradition. Under his guidance, 3HO expanded worldwide, to 300 centers in 35 countries

Delicious food eaten in a cozy communal setting was such a powerful force in 3HO that the first businesses that blossomed with the growth of ashram communities around the country were restaurants. Many hundreds of people did their first karma yoga in Golden Temple or Hanuman Conscious Cookeries which sprang up across the globe. Thousands of people were introduced to the joys of the 3H0 lifestyle with their first bowl of mung beans and rice or their first cup of Yogi Tea. The young 3HO community members passionately cooked and served delicious vegetarian meals to countless souls. There were very few vegetarian restaurants in those days and for many, this was an introduction to vegetarianism.
