Yogi Bhajan teaching students in Santa Barbara, California in 1969.
In 2019, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan’s arrival in the West in 1969. As soon as he arrived, he began teaching his students about Sikh history, Sikh Dharma and Kundalini Yoga.
To celebrate this milestone and Yogi Bhajan’s lasting legacy, we compiled 50 years of historical content from the Sikh Dharma community. We hope you enjoy the history, memories and the journey from past to present contained in these gems. We can’t wait to see what the next 50 years has in store for our global community!
