Reposted from Awaken. Summer and Winter Solstices have been the gathering time for those of us who love 3HO and the teachings of Yogi Bhajan (registered trademark) to be together kind of a spiritual family reunion. 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…

“Winter Solstice is a tradition. It is celebrated in the spirit of who we are, and it gives us strength and achievement and brings us to feel our essence. It is a gathering of the souls of the beautiful. At Winter Solstice we can really shake hands, plan for our future and show our devotion and dedication.” These are the words of Yogi Bhajan in 1986 to describe the beauty of Winter Solstice.

A firsthand account of the early days of 3HO, the Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization, according to Guru Singh Khalsa, as shared on harisingh.com and 3HO.org.

This is the Summer Solstice Sadhana, and in June of 1969 3HO began its now decades old tradition of gathering from all over the world for celebrating with Kundalini Yoga, meditation, and White Tantra Yoga. The full story of our tradition actually begins the summer before. It was June…

We recognize that it is customary in the cosmic scheme of things for the transition from one great Age to another to bring chaos and upheaval, but we also understand that our power, through prayer, to transmute and channel this…

This passage, written by Gurubanda Singh Khalsa from Pomona, California, was shared in the “Drug Program” section of the book, The Man Called the Siri Singh Sahib, published in 1979: When Yogi Bhajan came to America in 1968, he found his most avid audience among the disaffected youth of the time – the so-called ‘hippies’ who had abandoned their homes, their schools, and their jobs, who had rejected the traditional mores of their culture, and who sought new meaning in life through self-exploration, often times in drugs.  Yogijii understood their quest for inner knowledge, and he also understood the debilitating consequences…
