CHAPTER XV
COCKROACH YOGA
(YOGI BHAJAN)
YOGI BHAJAN WAS THE SIKH FOUNDER of 3HO, the nonprofit
“Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization,” headquartered in Los Angeles.
Born in the Punjab, he worked as a customs agent in New
Delhi before emigrating with his wife to North America in 1968, at
age thirty-nine, to teach kundalini and white tantric yoga there.
White tantra is used “to purify and uplift the being,” as opposed
to black, which is “for mental control of other people,” or red,
which is “for sexual energy and senses” or for demonstrating miracles
(S. Khalsa, 1996).
Yogi Bhajan has said that kundalini yoga will be the yoga of
the Aquarian Age and will be practiced for the next five
thousand years (in Singh, 1998a).
Guru Terath Singh Khalsa, who is [Bhajan’s] lawyer and
spokesman, says that Bhajan is “the equivalent of the pope”
(Time, 1977).
Yogi Bhajan is unique among spiritual teachers because he
is also the Mahan Tantric of this era. This means that he is
the only living master of white tantric yoga in the world,
