Community Learning

What makes this immersion course unique is the opportunity to live and learn for three and a half weeks with a community of fellow spiritual seekers and to practice Sadhana with the community of Hacienda de Guru Ram Das.
It is life changing to live in a community of like-minded spiritual seekers. You will integrate the benefits of total immersion as you become a member of a yoga community, rise in the ambrosial hours, and awaken yourself to the deeper knowledge of Kundalini Yoga.

The Community: Hacienda de Guru Ram Das – Home of Yogi Bhajan

“This place is the fountain of 5,000 years of humanity to follow. In times to come, whosoever will touch the dust of this place (Hacienda de Guru Ram Das) will be cured, will be healed, will have prosperity. Joy and happiness will come to all in abundance who still do a little seva–a little service.” –Yogi Bhajan

Residents of Hacienda de Guru Ram Das practice the 3HO Lifestyle including Sikh Dharma, as an intentional community, according to the teachings of Yogi Bhajan. Hacienda de Guru Ram Das has a daily sadhana and Gurudwara service, weekly Sunday Gurudwara services, a weekly langar (community meal), yoga classes, community events, businesses and schools for children. No drinking or smoking is allowed anywhere on the Ashram properties, so you can be assured of clean air, bright skies, and wide smiles.

The residents primarily live in private homes with many grouped around the Ashram property that is the home to the Gurudwara, langar hall, Cottonwood Grove Campsite, “The Ranch,” home of Yogi Bhajan, and many of the Dharmic nonprofit and for profit businesses. Also located just west of Espanola is Ram Das Puri, the site for our annual Summer Solstice Sadhana.
