- This recording is split into two. The first half is between Swami Vishnudevananda and Sant Harcharan Singh Longowal. The second half is between Swami Vishnudevananda and Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Bhinderwale.
The interview takes place in February 1984, just a few months before the terror of Operation Bluestar.
Well who is Swami Vishnudevananda? He was was born in Kerala on December 31st, 1927, spent a short time in the army and entered the Sivananda Ashram in Rishikesh in 1947. There are two different narratives as to why Swami Vishnu left for the West Cost of America in 1957.
On one hand it is suggested Swami Vishnu left for his own personal travels and it was during this trip that Swami Vishnu saw the opportunity to create retreats or vacations for Westerners from their busy and hectic lives.
On the other hand, it is suggested Swami Vishnu was instructed by his teacher to spread the message of yoga. Swami Vishnu would tell the story of how one day in 1957 his teacher, Sivananda placed a symbolic 10 rupees in Vishnudevananda's palm and instructed him to take the ancient teachings of yoga to the West.
Most likely being the result of a number of factors, including a personal desire to see the world, it took just two years before Swami Vishnu established the first Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre in Montreal, Canada, in 1959. Shortly, thereafter, in 1961, he launched the first yoga vacation in Val Morin, Quebec. Throughout the 60s and 70s Swami Vishnu went on to establish numerous Sivananda Ashram Yoga establishments in locations such as the Bahamas in 1967, California in 1971, New York in 1974 and Kerala in 1978.
During the 60s and 70s and the ensuing Cold War, Swami Vishnu had earnt himself the title of “the flying swami”. This was a result of his pursuit of world peace, at a time where there was a genuine threat of mutual assured destruction, something which Swami Vishnu alludes to during the first five minutes of talks with Sant Harchand Singh Longowal.
Swami and his students had arrived in 1984 to conduct programs to awake the Indian people to their ancient tradition of yoga. In pursuit of his goal of peace, it was during this trip that in February 1984 Swami wished to mediate between the Sikh leaders and the Central government. Swami Ji wished to record his discussion with Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Bhinderwale, and others, as he wished to discuss Sikh grievances with Indira Gandhi.
It's unknown if Swami spoke to Indira Gandhi. Swami died in 1993 from liver failure and recently an ex-disciple of Swami Vishnudevananda revealed a decade of abuse, sparking a crisis in Sivananda yoga that is still unfolding - / how-a-metoo-facebook-p...
However, what is important is what this conversation exposes - a clear lack of emnity by any of the Sikhs even when faced with questions that attempt to remove their unique identity and tradition.

ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਵੀਡਿਓ ਲਈ I
ਸੰਤ ਹਰਚੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਲੌਂਗੋਵਾਲ ਜੀ ਸਾਬਕਾ ਜਥੇਦਾਰ ਤਖ਼ਤ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਦਮਦਮਾ ਸਾਹਿਬ, ਤਤਕਾਲੀ ਪ੍ਰਧਾਨ ਸ਼੍ਰੋਮਣੀ ਅਕਾਲੀ ਦਲ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਹਾਦਤ ਨੂੰ ਸਾਦਰ ਪ੍ਰਣਾਮ 🙏
ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਜੀ।
Once i was admirer of sant bhindranwala now atheist. But his outlook still mesmirises. This man had all traits of leadership.
He was forked tonged guy wit two faces, one face of a dharm pracharak and other is a deadly killer running death squads...
Longowal is not a Sant. During the Morcha, Longowal made a promise in front of Guru Granth Sahib Ji and the Panth that he will not leave Darbar Sahib until they win the Morcha, even if the army attack. Him and Tohra hid in their offices during Blue Star and surrendered whilst thousands of Sikhs were being killed. On top of this a couple of months before the attack Longowal alongside Tohra and Badal made a call to Indira Gandhi to save them from Sant Ji and to use any force necessary. Of course after Blue Star in 1985 Longowal signed an agreement with Rajiv Gandhi despite his promise a couple of years earlier that he will not settle for anything less than the Anandpur Sahib Matta

Loungowal is not sant .he is gadar.
ਕਦੇ ਵੀ ਕੋਈ ਕੌਮ ਨਹੀਂ ਹਾਰਦੀ ਜਦੋਂ ਆਪਣਾ ਕੋਈ ਗਦਾਰ ਨਾ ਹੋਵੇ
Gadar kom da longowal
The only person who is responsible for the 1984 blue star is longowal , what a clown
Longowal gaddaar
Absolutely clueless "swami". Comical at best lol
He was trying to solve a bloodshed, and you think that's comical? Shame on your mindset brother. Think deep about what is happening and drop your birth based biases, you'll know the importance of a united nation in today's world.
@@shorayer9832 I respect Swami, but he was a Canadian citizen, and as far as I can think, he didn't come for any political issue. He visited mandirs, due to which he came to Darbar Sahib also and had a good talk with another saint.
@@fresno6161 ,
He was on his Peace Mission at that time.
Everyone has shortcomings....but those who try to do some good are still much better.
Regarding being a Canadian citizen, he was born in India (and still had Malayalam accent). At that time, he had good followers globally and also in Congress Party (especially Kerala Congress)....so I think his visit is justified.
Had More Sikh/ Hindu/Atheist/Muslim leaders etc also tried...there can be pressure on politicians to resolve such issues....
Regarding his prediction, it is exactly spot on. The country had to pay a big price for the mess made by Akalis-Congress both.....
Bhindrawale and his convoy sounds very arrogant.
It's called confidence
