WASHINGTON - The U.S. Senate has approved a Congressional resolution
introduced by U.S. Senators Jeff Bingaman and Pete Domenici that honors
the late Sikh leader Yogi Bhajan. Rep. Tom Udall introduced the same
resolution in the House of Representatives. That measure passed the
House on Tuesday.
The resolution points out that among his many accomplishments, Yogi
Bhajan founded "Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization (3HO)," a nonprofit
private educational and scientific foundation dedicated to serving
humanity, improving physical well-being, deepening spiritual awareness,
and offering guidance on nutrition and health. He was later given the
title of Siri Singh Sahib, which made him the chief religious and
administrative authority for Sikhism in the Western Hemisphere.
"Yogi Bhajan was the beloved spiritual leader of thousands of Western
Sikhs," Bingaman said. "This Congressional resolution recognizes his
distinguished life and the importance of his teachings."
"This is a lasting tribute to an influential spiritual leader who
contributed greatly to the promotion of peace. Yogi Bhajan was an
inspirational figure and a proud legacy for New Mexicans who remember
his hopeful message and practice his teachings of humanity," Domenici said.
The resolution reads: ...be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of
Representatives concurring), That Congress-- (1) recognizes that the
teachings of Yogi Bhajan about Sikhism and yoga, and the businesses
formed under his inspiration, improved the personal, political,
spiritual, and professional relations between citizens of the United
States and the citizens of India; (2) recognizes the legendary
compassion, wisdom, kindness, and courage of Yogi Bhajan, and his wealth
of accomplishments on behalf of the Sikh community; and (3) extends its
condolences to Inderjit Kaur, the wife of Yogi Bhajan, his 3 children
and 5 grandchildren, and to Sikh and ''Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization
(3HO)'' communities around the Nation and the world upon the death on
October 6, 2004, of Yogi Bhajan, an individual who was a wise teacher
and mentor, an outstanding pioneer, a champion of peace, and a
compassionate human being.
