After the Gurdwara programme we were invited to have tea with Pritpal Singh and Pritpal Kaur (She taught us a class in posture)
As we never turn up empty handed we dashed to the gas station to get something nice. All we found was a bag of funnyuns!! So we took them. Just hope they enjoyed them. I know we do!
The house was built by themselves and it was very beautiful. We spent 2 hours learning about each other it was a great bonding moment.
After saying to Deva that we will pick him up at 3pm we turned up and 6:30pm I blamed Indian timing!! To our very pleasant surprise, Lakhmi Chand was also there. We went to Santa Fe where we walked around the plaza, we also bumped into Mako. Dinner was at India Palace and very good restaurant which had a good selection of vegetarian dishes. The owner assured me they cook the non-veg and veg dishes separately.
Car parking for low riders!!
Dinner at India Palace:
The morning was spent at Sardana, I forgot how amazing that time is.
Afterwards, we played a four ball at the Black Mesa Golf Club, the green fees were $87 which for the quality of the course is a very good price.
Today was the day of departure, Iris, Mark left around 7:30am. Shana left around 1pm Brian took Valdimir and Melanie to Albuquerque airport, Sangeet and I followed.
We stopped for brunch in Santa Fe, we then headed to Albuquerque airport. After dropping of Vladimir and Melanie, Brian Sangeet and I went to Thai Vegan as excellent restaurant.
This morning we (Prith, Vladimir, Ms Lindt, Ms Mozambique and myself went to whole foods in Santa Fe to get some supplies and extra fruit, then popped to Body so Vladimir could get a yoga mat and cushion. On the way we were playing a number of songs.
When we arrived back at Espanola, we attended the Gurdwara programme, it was fantastic to see the local sangat, they remember me as Sangeet’s husband, they so love Sangeet here. We then has lunch followed by our first class!! We were told which groups we are to be in, mine is Udaare. A fantastic group where we all just jelled together. We went around each person in the group and say who we are and what/who motivated us to come, I mentioned that Sangeet is a great inspiration and so motivated me to come.
Afterwards, we attended a class held by Nirvair Singh, where we did a yoga kriya followed by Yogi Harbhajan video which had a fantastic kriya.
We then had beet lasagne. Walked down to the Gold House, where we all sat in the communal section and chatted, Brian, one of the house guests played the guitar.
Finally registered for the Kundalini Yoga KRI course
Today was a relaxing day where we registered and able to meet fellow students. For lunch we had burritos which were delicious, many options available wheat, corn, with or without cheese.
A group of us walked back to our house named ‘gold house’ where we relaxed.
At 16:00 we had orientation, taken by Nirvair Singh accompanied with fantastic singing by Sat Purkh Kaur. Sat Siri Kaur and Kyla Hofbauer also talked to us about what to expect. Sat Purkh Kaur mentioned she has seen Sangeet’s Facebook entry about me attending the immersion course.
Afterwards, we had pizza (again different varieties to choose from, gluten free, dairy free)
As we walked back to the house it started to lightly rain, on arriving we all sat in the communal area and just chatted, mainly about where people were in the life at the moment.
It is amazing to meet people from all different backgrounds who have been able to take time out to attend the immersion course.
It’s 22:35, time for bed……………
