Singh incorporated the storyline of the dawning new age into his teachings, a case of melding Western [[astrology]] with Sikh tradition. He proclaimed that "[[Guru Nanak]] was the Guru for the [[Age of Aquarius|Aquarian Age]]." It was, he declared, to be an age where people first experienced God, then believed, rather than the old way of believing and then being liberated by one's faith.<ref>{{cite book |last=Kaur |first=Sardarni |title=Guru for the Aquarian Age: The Life and Teachings of Guru Nanak |publisher=Spiritual Community |location=San Rafael, California |year=1973 |isbn=978-0-913852-01-9 |oclc=1382622 |page=6}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Piccalo |first1=Gina |title=A Yogi's Requiem |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-oct-23-et-yogi23-story.html |access-date=4 March 2021 |work=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=23 October 2004}}</ref>

In the summer of 1970, Singh participated in an informal "Holy Man Jam" at the [[University of Colorado at Boulder]] with [[Swami Satchidananda]] (another Eastern yogi who has been accused of sexual abuse of his students), [[Stephen Gaskin]] of The Farm in Tennessee, Zen Buddhist [[Jakusho Kwong]], and other local spiritual leaders. A few weeks later, he organized a gathering of spiritual teachers to engage and inspire the 200,000 attendees of the [[Atlanta International Pop Festival (1970)|Atlanta International Pop Festival]] on the stage between the performances of the bands.<ref>{{cite book |first=Lisa |last=Law |title=Flashing on the Sixties |location=San Francisco |publisher=[[Chronicle Books]] |pages=102–107}}</ref>

When U.S. [[Richard Nixon|President Nixon]] called drugs America's "Number one domestic problem", Singh launched a pilot program with two longtime heroin addicts in Washington, D.C., in 1972. The program attempted to treat heroin addiction through the practice of yoga and the consumption of [[garlic]] juice.<ref>{{cite news |last=Claiborne |first=William L. |title=Heroin Treatment: Garlic Juice, Yoga |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |date=March 22, 1972}}</ref>
