Pritam Hari Kaur & Har Bhajan Singh - South Africa
Har Bhajan Singh & Pritam Hari Kaur
Raised in Indonesia and Spain, Pritam Hari Kaur "found her tribe" in Hamburg in the late 1970s. After years of service to the European 3HO community, the Siri Singh Sahib introduced her to Har Bhajan Singh in the summer of 1986. They were married in Hamburg the following February and moved to South Africa.
Har Bhajan Singh found Kundalini Yoga on Union Island in the Caribbean, where he took a class from a French teacher in 1985. Intrigued, he travelled to California and eventually found his way to classes taught by the Siri Singh Sahib. On meeting him, the Master instructed him to return to his native South Africa and teach Kundalini Yoga.
Together, they launched a health food store and vegetarian restaurant, and began to share the teachings of Kundalini Yoga in South Africa. Along the way, their son Hari Bhajan Singh was born.
In 1999, the Siri Singh Sahib, against his doctors' orders, came to South Africa to participate in the World Parliament of Religions and to be Pritam Hari and Har Bhajan's guest. In that time, he complemented his hosts, "You are the teacher of us all!"

Hari Jiwan Singh - USA
Hari Jiwan Singh Khalsa
Khalsa (born Stephen Oxenhandler) was born September 29, 1942 in St. Louis, Missouri, to a well-to-do real estate development family. He was raised in a reformed Jewish community with whom he spent his youth between St. Louis and Palm Springs, California.
Khalsa attended the University of Oklahoma Business School and Washington University Law School before entering the family business. In the early 1970s he started practicing Kundalini yoga. When asked what yoga did for him, he answered: "Yoga gave me the experience of spirituality before my time and without years of spiritual practice. Once having experienced it, I wanted to live there rather than just visit." Thus, began his conversion to the Sikh faith 40 years ago. Explaining his attraction to Sikhism, Khalsa said, "First, my teacher and spiritual master Yogi Bhajan was a Sikh and he's the one who afforded me the way to this experience. Secondly, and most importantly, after studying many religions and teachings, Sikhism was inclusive rather than exclusive. It acknowledges the truth of all religions but still has a discipline of its own. Sikhs believe it's great to be a Christian, a Jew or a Hindu; just be a good one. For, if you can't see God in all, you can't see God at all.”
For the last 30 years Khalsa (to 2004) has worked with Yogi Bhajan, serving as Chief of Protocol for Sikh Dharma. Khalsa has served on the Interreligious Council of Los Angeles for many years. He is a member of the World Affairs Council and the Committee for Better Government Cooperation with Religions. He has lectured and taught throughout the United States, Europe and Latin America. In recent years, as Yogi Bhajan's health didn't permit him to travel, Khalsa has served in his place representing him across the country.
Khalsa was made a Mukia Singh Sahib early in his career with Yogi Bhajan. In the Sikh Dharma religion in the west, a Mukia Singh Sahib is the highest title other than the Siri Singh Sahib, which is the title of Yogi Bhajan. Khalsa said, "To be honest, I really didn't know what the title meant or how I should represent it when it was first bestowed. But, that's how Yogi Bhajan worked. He expected me to continue growing until I realized that I would never fully understand what this title meant because, if I did, I would never be worthy. I have come to understand that this title, this blessing, I've been bestowed is to live, think, and represent Sikh Dharma as our Guru commands. Naturally, it's a never-ending duty."
Khalsa was also bestowed the title of "Chief of Protocol" of Sikh Dharma in 1976. "Again," Khalsa states, "My idea of what this title entailed was in great variance with what I've come to know today. Yes, I entertained dignitaries, guests, whoever Yogi Bhajan requested, but the real value in this title lies not in what duty it requires, but, rather, in how I saw myself. I was no longer a fraternity guy from the Midwest; I now presented a view of who we were to all I hosted. Naturally, this necessitates continually changing to become better and better in this duty. I have been blessed with many opportunities."
Khalsa currently lives in Espanola, New Mexico, the home of Sikh Dharma in the West. He is married to Sat Bachan Kaur Khalsa for 35 years. Mrs. Khalsa is from Toronto, Canada. They have two children. Hari-Amrit Kaur Khalsa is an attorney in Albuquerque. Sarab Shakti Kaur Khalsa is the assistant vegan chef at Apple Computer in San Jose, California.

My personal story -
Since I was very little, I remember I used to said to myself: “I have to find the exit”, therefore I indulge since childhood and specially adolescence in the lecture of esoteric books, looking for the exit. That is how I decided to study anthropology, to become an arqueologist. I used to imagine, I was founding a very special book, with all the sacred knowledge, that will allow me to get out of here. “Maybe in Egipt”, I used to think.
When I entered at the University, all these ideas were softly erased and changed from my mind and spirit. The situation of violence in my country and my travels to jungle places for arqueological prospections, put me in contact with the hard experiences of the peasants and their brave struggle for peace, that even won a recognition with the alternative Nobel price. This experience really had an impact on me and change the course of my life and career. I remember one night, meanwhile I was planning with an Indigenous Huitoto, my first trip to the Amazons, I received a call from one of the peasant’s association, telling me that the main three peasant leaders were killed by the paramilitary groups and I had to inform to one of the teachers of my University, who also know about them. I was just 20 years old or so, so that strike me so much, and I said to myself “I will find the true of this” After some years I did and found out that the man who called me that night and belong to this peasant organization, was actually a traitor of the organization, that end up in France, getting protection from the human rights organizations, after he was the one who help to kill the peasant leaders.
Years later, I started my master studies, meanwhile, I was working as an assistant of a very well known professor from a International Studies Institute, in a proyect called the geography of violence. So, I learned very much about this and become also an expert. By that time, I only wanted to die, and when I have to choose the theme of my master thesis, I choose paramilitarism. I told to one of the teachers, also a very important teacher here, who was my first thesis director, “I am going to interview the main leader of this autodefensas group”, I remember his face of surprise and silence, at least. My main resolution was based on the thought “if it was not a good reason to live, at least let´s find a good reason to die”. And I did interview this very mysterious autodefensas leader, finished my thesis with a meritorious recognition, but the professor I worked with for 5 years, did not like that and did not allow this thesis to be published and either being recognize. The real reason was this professor was one of the intellectuals who give assesory to the guerrillas. He used to be hired by all this Human rights organizations, NGO´s, embassys to tell about the Colombian case and he did not want the true to be told. Despite of this, I give this thesis to several leaders, even from Human Rights Organizations and one leader from the autodefensas who was in jail, to confirm everything I wrotte, and she did.
By the time I finished the thesis, something very incredible happened. I received a Darshan of a Divinity and that change my life, wake up my spirit and my believe in God, who was by that time lost. After this Wake up Darshan, my kundalini rised up and I started to see things, as well as future events, that shake all my intellectual and rational bases, to such a point to make me surrender and change my path. I did not know what was happening to me.
One of the turning points was my trip to Sweden, which was announce in visions. Even though other professional researchers and teachers were telling me, I had to take an scholarships to continue my PH D studies in United States, I knew, I have to go to Sweden and I declined this scholarship offering. Later on, even after being fired from work, of course, unemployed, and facing so many obstacles, living in my parent´s house, and receiving so many visions and messages I could not explained, I wan the scholarship to take a course in conflict resolution at the Upssala University, in Sweden.
When I traveled to Sweden, I get even more shocked, because it just confirmed to me, again, that my visions were true. After so many and beautiful mystical experiences I had in Sweden, and the offering to stay there, I refused. It was not an easy decision, but I realized that: I wanted to do music; I also realized that there were not real intentions to end up conflict, but to increase it, because that was the way the economy was getting founded; and also in the course they told us, that in order to go up in this way, I had to take a baptism to be part of them and then I was going to be taking to the best universities, and work in the international agencies and have a lot of money. When there were making this offering at the end of this conflict resolution course, I heard the voice of this Divinity whispering to me at my ear saying “They do not believe in God”. So, I choosed God, I choosed the unknown, because I was feeling a lot of fear, like I never felt before among this people, not even when I was among guerrillas, or paramilitaries, I felt that. I knew that if I continue that way, I had to compromise my soul to them. So, I quit and comeback to my country, with only my visons and mystical experiences I could not explained, not even to myself. So, I started to search what could be the explanation for what it was happening to me, I started my healing process and with God´s guide and grace, I finally found the teachings from Yogi Bhajan and kundalini yoga.
My Connection with Siri Singh Sahib Bhai Sahib Yogi Bhajan Ji -
My connection with Yogi ji started reading his lectures. At that time, I was in a lot of pain, confusion, stress, anger, anxiety (everything) and the only thing that gave me peace and hope was studying his lectures, which become my daily medicine, since then. Then I started to practice them by myself, because there were not kundalini yoga centers. My first practice was in a park nearby, around 4:30 a.m and in the middle of rain, doing nabhi kriya. My tears mixed with the rain. It was the same outside and inside, so it was just letting it be. I used to practice in the parks, because I was afraid my mother knew and started to stop me and complain. One day, I remember, I got the Darshan from Guru Nanak Dev Ji. I did not know who was this sacred man with yellow turban and white beard, holding a small flower, but I remember I saw him the first time I chanted Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo. Soon, I realized that Kundalini Yoga really worked. I started to quit smoking and having incredible experiences.
Then I received the vision, I was going to travel to Mexico and It happened. In Mexico, I started my training and certification as a Kundalini Yoga Teacher. I also met about Sikhism. I live there for 1 year and a half, and after so many hard experiences, I was able to complete the transformation process, that inspire me to take the vows to become Sikh. I had many visions with The Siri Singh Sahib and he guide me and bless me to come at the feet of Guru ji. Then I realized that The Siri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, was that exit my soul was looking for. I was at the Gate of the Guru. So, I started to wear my turban and shuni, by the time I came back to Colombia, I was totally convinced of my choice. When my father pick me up at the airport, he told me; “My dear, people is going to laugh of you”, but I told him “I do not care”. Thanks to God, my parents accept me, respect my decision of being sikh and work as a Kundalini yoga teacher. Since then, my connection with the Siri singh Sahib is very close, and he is very present, in every vision he gives me, every message he delivers to me, and I know he will always be with me and I will be always with him. Yogi ji told me in one sadhana: “I will never let you down”.
My Amazing work thanks to the Grace of Guru -
I had been teaching since 2004 when I received my certification. I opened the Kundalini Yoga Center Sohaagan in the house my father left me , after he passed away. In these 16 years, I had been giving courses without stopping, spreading the teachings as Yogi Bhajan taught and developing the roots that are required to be. Now I a m working toward new proyects to come, maybe next year.
I had also been in India, teaching, doing some seva and I had been blessed to meet real Brahm Gianys.
I also run a refuge where we had done yoga kundalini retreats. So far, it is time to start to grow food there and I am learning how to do, to be prepare for the coming times.
