3HO is a family of healthy, happy, and holy people. Do you understand the word “family”? If, under all longitudes and latitudes, we keep our nucleus together, that is a family.

We remember and honor Reverend CT Vivian who  passed away on July 17, 2020.  We had the privilege to host Reverend Vivian at Peace Prayer Day several years ago, where he received the SSSC Award for Social Justice. A close associate of Dr. Martin Luther King, he was a leader of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960’s.   Many of us were fortunate to spend time with him during his visit.  He was a beautiful man and exemplified kindness, courage and dedication.

Statement from Siri Singh Sahib Corporation Regarding Akal Security

Statement from Siri Singh Sahib Corporation Regarding Akal Security

August 22, 2019

The Siri Singh Sahib Corporation (SSSC), as the oversight body of the Yogi Bhajan legacy organizations, is charged with supporting the mission and vision of the organizations and ensuring that our collective values and moral standards are being upheld. Toward that end, the Siri Singh Sahib Corporation has decided on three actions to serve and uphold those values.

The SSSC has listened closely to concerns raised about Akal Security’s role as a subcontractor to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) at the Krome Service Processing Center in Miami, Florida. In response to issues relating to the current administration’s immigration policies, a sincere discussion is ongoing at the SSSC about how to uphold our collective values and move forward in the most expedient, responsible, and humanitarian manner possible.

The SSSC supports the legal and human rights of refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers who have come to the United States seeking shelter and safety from untenable situations in their home countries. Along with people of conscience around the world, we are increasingly concerned about the recent shifts in tactics and policies being applied to innocent people seeking asylum. We are morally opposed to separation of children from their parents and inhumane treatment of asylum seekers and immigrants.

Background
Akal Security has provided security services to the US government since 1987. The types of facilities that Akal has served include courthouses, airports, army bases, offices, and other government facilities. The scope of Akal Security’s work at Krome is to maintain safety and security at the facility while the cases of the individuals detained are resolved.

The population at Krome consists entirely of adult males; no women or children are housed there. This facility has not experienced the large influx of newly arriving immigrants such as we have seen at the US-Mexico border. Unlike the temporary, overcrowded facilities on the US-Mexico border depicted in the news, the Krome facility is a highly controlled detention environment in a permanent building equipped with air conditioning, beds, recreational facilities, showers, medical staff, access to books and legal counsel, and food options according to religious and dietary choices.

The SSSC’s Board of Trustees has made the following determinations:
  1. The organizations under the SSSC umbrella may not enter into any future contracts with ICE.
  2. Funds from Akal Security shall not be included in future grants to the legacy non- profit organizations as long as Akal Security remains in any ICE or ICE related contracts. These include: Sikh Dharma International, 3HO Foundation International, Kundalini Research Institute, Sikhnet, Sikh Dharma Education International and 3HO of Europe. As a point of fact, Akal Security has not granted funds to the non-profits for the past 5 years.
  3. The Siri Singh Sahib Corporation and Akal Security are actively exploring and evaluating Akal's business model including the current contract at the Krome Facility.
All of our organizations, for-profit and nonprofit, are committed to working actively for positive change, and we encourage all people of conscience to get involved in ways to make a difference.

The members of the Siri Singh Sahib Corporation Board appreciate the prayers and concerns of all those who have reached out and participated in this process, and will report back to the community any future developments about this issue.


Humbly yours,
The Board of Trustees
Siri Singh Sahib Corporation

Executive Director Report 

Sat Nam,

The Siri Singh Sahib Corporation deals with a myriad of issues that face a rapidly expanding organization dedicated to the promotion of the teachings of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan and Sikh Dharma.  The SSSC has huge responsibilities as it must provide both the spiritual and temporal leadership over the Siri Singh Sahib’s legacy. On the spiritual level, it must set the direction for the organization and on the temporal side it deals with the administrative issues that come with oversight over the numerous nonprofits and for-profit organizations that the Siri Singh Sahib left behind to benefit humanity.

One important responsibility the SSSC has is to ensure that the Boards of the organizations for which it has responsibility are populated by people with the appropriate skills.  We plan to solicit qualified individuals to build a database of potential talent to fill these important roles overseeing KIIT and the non-profits. Please watch for notice of this in the future. We encourage you to apply.

2019 SDI Yatra

2019 SDI Yatra

Picture
There are milestones in Sikh history that should be celebrated with unbridled joy and gratitude.  This fall is one of those times, the 550th anniversary of the birth of the great Guru Nanak Dev ji.  Guru Nanak Dev is the source of it all, provoking in each of us the awakening of transcendent energy that we now call our spiritual path.  It was Guru Nanak Dev ji and his encounter with Akal Purkh in the waters of the Kali Bein that shook India from her spiritual slumber and began a revolution of consciousness that is still vibrating today.

Sikh Dharma and 3HO International are joining together in a sacred yatra to India to join the sangat in the celebrations.  November 5th to November 16th, 2019, we will immerse ourselves in the tribute and love of Guru Nanak Dev ji.  The Light of Guru Nanak Yatra will start in New Delhi; travel together to Anandpur Sahib to study the Japji Sahib at Dashmesh Sadan and see the historic Gurdwaras at that blessed spot; travel to Sultanpur Lodhi, where Guru Nanak Dev ji found his liberation in the Kali Bein river, and join the multitude of sangat in celebration; and continue on to Amritsar for a few days of sight, sip, and dip at the beautiful Siri Harmandir Sahib before returning to New Delhi.
Don’t miss this opportunity to fill your heart with inspiration and to celebrate your commitment to the path of Nanak. This is not a tourist experience, but a spiritual journey of those of higher consciousness. This is our time, and I look forward to sharing it with you.
Jo to prem khelan ka chaao, sir dhar eej galee meri aao. 
It maarag pair dhareejai, sir eejay kaan na keejai.  
Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Siri Guru Granth Sahib, page 1412
If you want to play this game of love, then step onto my path with your head in your hands.
Once you set out on this path, give your head and disregard the opinion of others.

Legacy Gardens
Building community through sustainable farming

Many may not know the hidden gem in the Española Ashram Community, the Legacy Garden project, operating under Hacienda de Guru Ram Das Corporation. As their mission statement explains, “Legacy Garden (LG) serves Yogi Bhajan’s vision of community/ashram living, providing a financially-profitable organic farm that will generate produce, employment, income and good will for the benefit of Hacienda de Guru Ram Das Ashram and serve as a model for sustainable living to the 3HO/Sikh Dharma World Community.

Truly this project is one of the embodiments of living in a conscious community: producing food at the Ashram to support community development and self-reliance, and developing a sustainable asset that uses renewable energy and is in full alignment with Sikh values. Guru Amar Das established the Langar (free kitchen), and this tradition of serving food to all is one of the foundations of Sikhism: humbly serving, sharing, and providing sustenance to humanity, in the name of the Guru.

3HO Ilumniary Program

For 50 years, 3HO has been home to the practice of Kundalini Yoga and the teachings of Yogi Bhajan – a place where everyone is welcome to uplift themselves and empower one another to be truly healthy, happy, and holy.
3HO Foundation had humble beginnings. 50 years ago, a man named Yogi Bhajan came to North America from India with just a few dollars in his pocket and one mission: to spread the technology of Kundalini Yoga, which would ultimately inspire courage, peace, resilience, and dignity within the hearts of practitioners worldwide.​
​

In honor of this anniversary, the inaugural 3HO Luminaries Program expands and deepens the mission of 3HO International to inspire everyone everywhere to realize their full potential through the uplifting experience of Kundalini Yoga. The program brings Kundalini Yogis doing extraordinary service in underserved communities to Summer Solstice in Espanola, New Mexico for inspired connection, global collaboration, and the Kundalini experience of a lifetime. By honoring and serving these Luminaries, 3HO seeks to create lasting connections between teachers, encourage seva as the highest state of mind and spirit, and strengthen communities around the globe.​

Second ever Level 2 in Ghana
Spreading the light

Vitality and Stress Level Two Training  taught November 2018 in Accra, Ghana was the second one ever conducted in West Africa. The first one was lead by me in January of 2017 with the assistance of Ram Singh of France. 

I began Level 1 trainings in Ghana in 2005 and Togo in 2007. There are 10-12 teachers in Lome, Togo that have been teaching and conducting Level 1 trainings since 2008. There are 5-7 who have been teaching well before that without Level 1 certification. I was successful in getting a small grant to bring 4 of the teachers to Summer Solstice, two in 2010 and two in 2011.
