In 1969, Harbhajan Singh established the 3HO (Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization) Foundation to further his missionary work.
During this time he allegedly abused and manipulated many people, particularly women.

The Yogi's brand of Sikhism appealed to the hippies who formed the bulk of his early converts.
 The Sikh practice of not cutting one's hair or beard was already accepted by the hippie culture, as was Sikh vegetarianism.
 They liked to experience elevated states of awareness and they also deeply wanted to feel they were contributing to a world of peace and social justice.
Yogi Bhajan offered them all these things with vigorous yoga, an embracing holistic vision, and an optimistic spirit of sublime destiny.

Meanwhile, the surviving communal businesses had incorporated and many had grown exponentially to keep pace with the rising demand for health-oriented products and services.
This period also saw an increased interest in yoga worldwide.

To serve the changing times, Harbhajan Singh created the International Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association, dedicated to setting standards for teachers and the propagation of the teachings.

In 1994, the 3HO Foundation joined the United Nations as a non-governmental organization in consultative status with the Economic and Social Council, representing women's issues, promoting human rights, and providing education about alternative systems of medicine.
