He gave her a mantra, with the instruction to chant it everyday before sunrise for an hour, and that this will clear the path.

The Miracle

After a couple of days of doing the meditation with the mantra, her son re-emerged and with Yogi Bhajan´s guidance, he was discharge from the army without any legal repercussion. After this incredible outcome, she started to help Yogi Bhajan in whatever he needed and he started to teach consistently Kundalini Yoga classes in Los Angeles.
