Father Yod
Father Yod or YaHoWha, born James Edward Baker (July 4, 1922 – August 25, 1975) was the American owner of one of the country's first health food restaurants, on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. He founded a spiritual commune in the Hollywood Hills known as the Source Family. He was also lead singer of the commune's experimental psychedelic rock band, Ya Ho Wa 13.
==Early life==
James Edward Baker was born on July 4, 1922, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Baker earned the Silver Star as a United States Marine in World War II and became expert in Jujitsu. He moved to California to become a Hollywood stuntman and was influenced by the Nature Boys, a Los Angeles-based group of beats who lived a natural lifestyle, maintained vegetarian diets, and lived "according to Nature's Laws." 〔Bearman, Gary. (YaHoWha 13 Interview ) July 2002.〕 Baker also studied philosophy, religion, and esoteric spiritual teachings, even becoming a Vedantic monk for a time. He later became a follower of Yogi Bhajan, a Sikh spiritual leader and teacher of Kundalini Yoga.
In 1969, Baker founded the Source Restaurant on Los Angeles's Sunset Strip. The restaurant served organic vegetarian food, with such celebrity regulars as John Lennon, Julie Christie, and Marlon Brando. Jim Baker had two other successful restaurants on Sunset Strip: The Aware Inn and the Old World.〔.〕
Despite the claims that he had fourteen different wives, he had only one legal wife, Robin Popper, to whom he was married in 1970. They had a daughter together, Tau, born August 14, 1974. Despite the foundation of belief that a man and his women were not to be separated, Father Yod changed that policy to include several young women hanging around. Robin said at the time he was “a dirty old man on a lust trip.”
