关于 Yogi Bhajan

Born Harbhajan Singh Puri, August 26, 1929, in the part of India that became Pakistan in 1948, he was the son of a medical doctor. He spent his youth in privileged environments in private schools and his summers in the exclusive Dalhousie mountain region of Himachal Pradesh. As a young boy he attended a Catholic convent school.

出生于1929年8月26日，原名Harbhajan Singh Puri，出生地属于后来于1948年成为巴基斯坦的印度地区，他是一位医生的儿子。他在私立学校的优渥环境中度过少年时光，并在喜马偕尔邦专属的Dalhousie山区度过夏天。年幼时，他曾就读于一所天主教修道院学校。

When he became a United States Citizen in 1976, Yogi Bhajan changed his name legally to Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji.

1976年成为美国公民时，Yogi Bhajan依法将名字改为Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji。

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.

他年仅八岁时便开始跟随一位开悟的导师Sant Hazara Singh接受瑜伽训练，这位导师在他十六岁半时宣布他为昆达里尼瑜伽大师。

During the turmoil of partition in 1947, at the age of 18, he led his village of 7000 people, near what is Lahore, Pakistan today, 325 miles on foot to safety in New Delhi, India, where he arrived with only the clothes on his back. Displaced Indians were given houses in India and soon he was able to continue his education at Punjab University where he excelled in debate and was a star athlete, playing both hockey and soccer and earning the name "China wall" from his opponents.

1947年印巴分治的动荡期间，18岁的他带领位于今天巴基斯坦拉合尔附近、由7000人组成的村庄，徒步325英里前往印度新德里寻求安全，抵达时身上仅有穿着的衣服。流离失所的印度人在印度获得了住房，很快他得以继续在旁遮普大学求学，在那里他辩论出色，并且是明星运动员，同时参加曲棍球和足球比赛，还被对手称为“中国长城”。

After graduating with a degree in Economics, he began Indian government service with India's Internal Revenue Department, and supervised the creation of the IRS 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).

在以经济学学位毕业后，他开始为印度政府服务，任职于印度国内税收部，并监督了新德里IRS大楼的创建。此后不久，他转入海关部门，成为Palam国际机场（现称新德里英迪拉·甘地机场）的海关负责人。

He married Inderjit Kaur in 1952. They had two sons, Ranbir Singh and Kulbir Singh, and a daughter, Kamaljit Kaur.

他于1952年与Inderjit Kaur结婚。他们有两个儿子，Ranbir Singh和Kulbir Singh，以及一个女儿Kamaljit Kaur。

Throughout his academic career and government service he continued to teach yoga to people from all walks of life.

在整个学术生涯和政府部门任职期间，他持续向各行各业的人教授瑜伽。

In September of 1968, he left India for Canada to teach 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. Arriving in Los Angeles virtually unknown, Yogi Bhajan met a number of young hippies, the spiritual seekers of that era, and immediately recognized that the experience of higher consciousness they were attempting to find through drugs could be achieved by practicing the Science of Kundalini Yoga while simultaneously rebuilding their nervous systems.

1968年9月，他离开印度前往加拿大，在多伦多大学教授瑜伽，随身带着时任加拿大驻新德里高级专员James George爵士的推荐信，后者曾是他的学生。在加拿大待了两个月后，他飞往洛杉矶进行周末访问。抵达洛杉矶时几乎无人认识，Yogi Bhajan遇到了一些年轻嬉皮士——那个年代的精神探寻者——并立刻意识到，他们试图通过毒品获得的高等觉知体验，可以通过修习昆达里尼瑜伽科学来实现，同时还能重建他们的神经系统。

Breaking the centuries‒old tradition of secrecy surrounding the empowering science of Kundalini Yoga, he began teaching it publicly. With the yogic sciences, he gave the soon‒to‒be called "Baby Boomers" an effective alternative to the prevalent drug culture. He called it the "3HO" (healthy, happy, holy) way of life.

他打破了围绕昆达里尼瑜伽这门赋能科学长达数世纪的保密传统，开始公开教授它。借助瑜伽科学，他为很快将被称为“婴儿潮一代”的人提供了一种有效替代当时盛行毒品文化的方式。他将其称为“3HO”（健康、快乐、神圣）生活方式。

From humble beginnings, teaching first at the East West Cultural Center and then in a student's furniture store in West Hollywood, "The Yogi" was like a magnet. Students flocked to his classes. Soon he was teaching at colleges and universities, including Claremont and UCLA, and accepting invitations to teach in other cities.

从卑微的开端起步，他起初在东西方文化中心授课，之后又在西好莱坞一名学生的家具店里授课，“这位瑜伽士”就像一块磁铁。学生们蜂拥而至参加他的课程。很快，他开始在学院和大学授课，包括Claremont和UCLA，并接受邀请前往其他城市教学。

In July of 1969 the non-profit 3HO Foundation (Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization) was incorporated in California. 3HO's service to humanity through Kundalini Yoga, meditation and the Science of Humanology improves physical wellbeing and deepens spiritual awareness.

1969年7月，非营利组织3HO基金会（健康、快乐、神圣组织）在加利福尼亚注册成立。3HO通过昆达里尼瑜伽、冥想和人类学科学服务人类，改善身体健康并深化灵性觉知。

Under his guidance as Director of Spiritual Education, 3HO expanded worldwide, to 300 centers in 35 countries. In 1994, 3HO became a member of the United Nations as an NGO (Non-Governmental-Organization) in Consultative Status (Roster) with the Economic and Social Council, representing women's issues, promoting human rights and providing education in alternative systems of medicine.

Inspired and motivated by his words and adhering to the practices he taught, students created music, art, and poetry reflecting the universal wisdom he shared. Over 200 books have been written based on Yogi Bhajan's teachings, as well as a wealth of audio tracks, videos, paintings, and sculpture. He himself has authored over 30 publications including Furmaan Khalsa , The Master's Touch: On being a Sacred Teacher for the New Age , and The Mind: Its Projections and Multiple Facets .

Becoming the Mahan Tantric (only living Master of White Tantric Yoga) in 1971, he conducted workshops in cities around the world. In 1987 he transferred these workshops to videotape, calling them "Renew to be New" Courses, which will continue to be held worldwide.

忠于他最早的承诺——“我来不是为了聚集学生，而是为了训练教师”——国际昆达里尼瑜伽教师协会（IKYTA）和昆达里尼研究机构（KRI）现在在世界各地举办教师培训课程。

Embodying a rare combination of spiritual knowledge and down‒to‒earth practical wisdom, Yogi Bhajan was equally at home at pulpit, podium, board room, living room, or sitting on a grassy lawn teaching and educating people of all walks of life. His expertise and influence extended into the realms of communication, the healing arts, business, religion, and government.
