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

Hacienda de Guru Ram Das - The First 108 Years

By Sat Siri Kaur, Vedic Astrologist

I was asked me to contribute a few astrological insights for the coming year and I decided a look into the chart for the founding of the Mother ashram would be of interest.   

The predecessor of the current ashram was Maharaj Ashram, founded and named by Yogi Bhajan at the time of Summer Solstice, 1969.  The members started camping out in tents and tepees on land located three miles out from Santa Fe on 132D West Alameda Road.

The Deep Work of Seeing God in All

Love Thy Neighbor—No Matter What - Part II

By Hari Jiwan Singh Khalsa

In Part I, we reflected on the command to “Love thy neighbor—no matter what,” and explored how the Law of Polarities, the nature of judgment, and the presence of Divine light in all beings make such love spiritually possible.

Now, let us go deeper—into the practice, the discipline, and the spiritual maturity needed to live this truth daily.

Numerology Forecast for January 2026

By Nam Hari Kaur

Welcome to 2026, a year of achievement, revelation, and a near non-stop wave of innovation and new technologies. If you’re looking for a fresh start, it’s here for you in 2026.

2026 adds up to a number 10 year, and is supported by the number 8, which is the Gift number for the year (Gift is last two digits, 2+6=8). Both the numbers 10 and 8 create an atmosphere of forward momentum, along with a sense of “I just know there’s more for me out there!”

The Birth of Guru Gobind Singh and His Early Life in Patna Sahib

By Shanti Kaur

Sapat Saring

The story of Guru Gobind Singh begins high in the sacred mountains of the Himalayas, where the air is cold and clear. There you will find a secluded lake known as Sapat Saring. This is a holy place where saints have meditated for millennia, and where great spiritual disciplines have been accomplished by yogis and rishis. Here the exalted Rishi Dushtdaman sat in deep meditation, passing the ages in love of his Lord.

Love Thy Neighbor—No Matter What

The command to “Love thy neighbor” is among the oldest spiritual instructions given to humankind. Yet it remains one of the most challenging to live. Recently, someone asked me a question that goes straight to the heart of this challenge:

December 2025 Numerology Forecast

Rest-Relax-Regenerate are the keynote themes for the month of December. This year of 2025, a number 9 year on the planet, has been an extraordinary time of intensity and instability. A balance needs to be struck at this moment, thereby giving us the strength and reserve to enter the New Year with a skip in our step and a sparkle in our eye.

November 2025 Numerology Forecast

The month of November 2025 is a time for focus, perseverance, and a determined sense of finality in the cutting of the cord connected to anything that drags you down or holds you back. There’s a line in the sand here, and you want to be on the right side of it. Codependency will crash, so don’t get hypnotized into staring at the flames of that which was never going to work out anyway, just walk away.

In Pursuit of Happiness

Happiness is the purpose of life

It’s the felt experience of being truly alive: glad to breathe, to know oneself, to stand under God’s protection and love. This definition works for me—and for anyone inclined toward it.

The First Step: Know Yourself

Custodian General of Sikh Dharma: Duty

Imagine living a lifestyle where promises made are promises delivered. Imagine stepping into that life and finding its rewards fulfilled — a life where God is truly on your side. Imagine gratitude so overflowing that no measure could contain it. Imagine a way of living that carries you straight to the Divine, into an experience of total security, Totality. That is the promise of Sikh Dharma.

The Role of Custodian General

October 2025 Numerology Forecast

The month of October 2025 challenges us to “rise again” amidst the acceleration of a shape-shifting reality. Nine is the number of mastery over mystery, and our best friend and companion for the remainder of the year is a calm and cozy relationship with our own Subtle Body. Otherwise, the level of information overload and nervous system distress can create a zombie-like effect in our movement through the world. Going through the motions of life with zero connective sensitivity is not a safe way to travel. Let’s look towards choosing a better path and enjoying the journey.
