Harbhajan Singh Yogi
Harbhajan Singh Yogi was born on August 26, 1929, in Gujranwala. His early life unfolded under successive political orders, and the record of his citizenship reflects that layered history — he held citizenship in the British Raj, the Dominion of India, India, and Pakistan, a sequence that traces the dramatic reshaping of the subcontinent across the twentieth century.
He worked as a religious figure, a vocation that defined his public identity throughout his life. The authorized form of his name in the Library of Congress Name Authority File — "Bhajan, Yogi, 1929-2004" — indicates the name by which he was catalogued in formal records, and suggests that his religious role was sufficiently central to his identity to shape even his bibliographic representation.
He died on October 6, 2004, in Española. The distance between Gujranwala, where he was born, and Española, where he died, marks a life that crossed continents and political boundaries. His death in Española brought to a close a life that had begun in Gujranwala and passed through multiple national citizenships, all while he pursued his work as a religious figure.
