Yogiji Harbhajan Singh Khalsa was born as Harbhajan Singh Puri on the 26th of August, 1929 in Kot Harkan, Tehsil Wazirabad, India (now in Pakistan). His father, Kartar Singh, was a well-known doctor and healer and his mother, Harkrishan Kaur, was a woman of great strength and righteousness. When he was just eight years old he began his yogic training with an enlightened teacher, Sant Hazara Singh, who proclaimed him to be a Master of Kundalini Yoga when he was sixteen and a half.
Harbhajan Singh Khalsa spent his youth in privileged environments in private schools. As a young boy, he attended a Catholic convent school. He graduated from Punjab University in 1954 with a Master of Arts degree in Economics.
Yogiji Harbhajan Singh Khalsa began his career at Indian government service with India's Internal Revenue Department and supervised the creation of the Internal Revenue Service building in New Delhi. Shortly thereafter he moved to the Customs Service and become head of Customs at Palam International Airport (now known as New Delhi's Indira Gandhi Airport).
In 1968, Harbhajan immigrated to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where he taught yoga at Toronto University, carrying a letter of recommendation from Sir James George, Canadian High Commissioner in New Delhi, who had been his student. After two months in Canada, he flew to Los Angeles for a weekend visit. After that, he moved to Los Angeles. Soon he was teaching at colleges and universities, including Claremont and the University of California, and accepting invitations to teach in other cities. He began teaching in the United States in the 1960s.
In Los Angeles, Harbhajan Singh Khalsa founded the 3HO (Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization) Foundation in 1969, an organization that taught yoga, meditation, and community service to its members. But Yogiji was not just a spiritual leader, he was also a successful businessman, founding and operating several companies, including a highly profitable security guard company, real estate operations, yoga schools, and the natural foods company Golden Temple.
In 1973, Yogi Bhajan founded 3HO SuperHealth, a remarkably successful drugless, drug rehabilitation program, blending the proven ancient yogic wisdom of the East with the modern technology of the West. In 1989, he met with Mikhail Gorbachev and established addiction treatment programs in Russia based on the 3HO SuperHealth model.
Yogiji was the author of several books, including "The Teachings of Yogi Bhajan" in 1977, "The Golden Temple Vegetarian Cookbook" in 1979, "Yoga for Health and Healing" in 1995, "The Mind: Its Projections and Multiple Facets" in 1998.
Under Harbhajan Singh Khalsa’s guidance, the 3HO Foundation established more than 300 centers in 35 countries. He pioneered a drug rehabilitation program that became highly respected in the U.S.
Yogi Bhajan also founded the International Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association to help set standards for teachers of Kundalini yoga and meditation.
Harbhajan also used his professional background in economics and his entrepreneurial skills to expand the health food business. He was the founder in or trusted management consultant for over 17 businesses in natural food, breakfast cereals, beauty products, real estate, computer systems, security services, and yoga centers. Companies that he influenced include Golden Temple, Akal Security, Peace Cereals, Yogi Tea, Soothing Touch, and many others.
In 1985, Harbhajan Singh Khalsa established the first International Peace Prayer Day Celebration. The annual day of musical celebration and interfaith prayer has drawn many national and international leaders.

1983A deeply devoted Sikh, Harbhajan’s inspiration and example motivated thousands to embrace the Sikh way of life. Through his personal efforts, Sikh Dharma was legally incorporated and officially recognized as a religion in the USA in 1971.
Singh Khalsa met with religious leaders of all faiths, including the Dalai Lama, Pope Paul VI, Pope John Paul II, and two Archbishops of Canterbury. He was a regular participant in interfaith activities such as the Parliament of the World’s Religions and the World Fellowship of Religions, serving as co-president of the latter. He was an organizer of the "Meeting of the Ways" in San Francisco and was a co-founder of the Unity of Man Conference.
While he opposed the Reagan government’s regime of high debt and high unemployment, Yogi Bhajan appreciated strong foreign policy and especially U.S. efforts to dislodge the Soviet Union from Afghanistan.
Basically, Yogi Bhajan was known as a Democrat. Since 1980, he was both friend and advisor to Bill Richardson, who served variously as New Mexico governor, U.S. Energy Secretary, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Bill Richardson was a candidate for the Democratic Party's nomination to run for the office of U.S. President in 2008.
