Stories by ashram members that share their knowledge and experiences in the ashram.

As I left the Sunday Gurdwara service, Yogi Bhajan and a number from the Darbar accompanied me to my car (an old Subaru with tinted glass). The car was parked near the west entry to the Gurdwara. Yogi Bhajan asked what was in the back of my car. I said, “Nothing important, Sir.” Yogi Bhajan laughed and instructed security to search my car.

Beloved Sadh Sangat,
As a son, a brother, and a father in and of this community, I wish to share some thoughts today. I have made it my life's mission to support this sangat and to support our growth and nurturance as a mother ashram founded in the name of Guru Ram Das. I truly love this community with all my heart and the people here and what we've built in the Guru's name.
Every Tuesday the Farm Stand opens at 12 noon and for the next two hours 30-40 excited people wait with masks on to pick up their freshly harvested vegetables. Most of them order on Khalsa Family Farms online store, and some just drop by to purchase whatever vegetables are displayed at the Farm Stand.

This Spring we have chosen to re-vitalize the Ranch’s Lower Orchard. We are asking the Sadh Sangat to help fund 15 new fruit trees to replace dead or dying trees and make this beautiful orchard whole again.

Inside the ashram in Española, one woman packed 120 bags last week with nutritious snacks for students home from school.
It’s not something Guru Simran Kaur Khalsa is doing for the first time to address food insecurity issues.
Food 4 Kids NM volunteers have been making these bags for the last 12 years, which are distributed by schools in northern Santa Fe and Rio Arriba counties to some of the most needy students.
"My name is Munsimar Kaur and I am 10 years old. I have been listening to SikhNet audio stories for about 8 years as my parents started to play them for me when I was much younger. It’s funny how you do something – like reading, watching the TV or speaking to people, and never know the impact it is having on you. This is how I feel about SikhNet Stories.....
We welcome Atma Chanan Kaur as a new member of our community. She was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina and moved to the United States when she was 18 yrs. old and obtained a Ph.D in Sociology, Migration and Women’s Studies. Service, simplicity and community brought her to the ashram, after having lived in many places around the world. She teaches Kundalini Yoga and Meditation and it's been a dream of hers to share in a community with like-minded, heart-centered, spiritual people coming together for daily practice and growing in the values and virtues of the Soul.
