Must have been in winter 1971, right after our 6 months with Vikram Singh in London, where Yogi Bhajan sent us, after some experiences resulting from months of practice in a small village in France. The day we arrived it had been snowing heavily. After Washington, maybe June 1972, we went to France for the birth of our son Gyan-akal and then on to Phoenix with Baba Don 6 months, Tucson with Sat Nam Singh 6 months, Pomona with Gurucharan 6 months and then LA at the Adi Shakti Ashram, then back to the east coast where I started teaching KY classes. We stayed in Washington DC with my wife working at the Golden Temple Restaurant. Guru Ganesh Singh remembers. I also remember the number of songs that Peter Singh translated. Guru Ganesh and I sang them to Snatam Kaur, when they visitied Bangkok on their World Tour some time back. I remember the vary powerful sets and Kriyas that Larry Singh used to teach, and still teach them occasionally in classes here in BKK.

I certainly remember you when I first came to Washington in 1973 were I first meet SSS. at Mary Mount College were Gurubachan Singh & I did our first Trantic. You were always shinning & wore beautiful Saris, You were an inspiration to many. I always wanted to wear a Sari but I never had the money for one & then everyone started wearing turbans & churidas which I hated & I was never able to wear a beautiful Sari. This year I bought two beautiful Saris when I was in India that my daughter & son forsed me to buy & I was thinking how I used to admire you & how beautiful the Saris looked on you, I do not know when I will wear them but I know I have them. That was also the first time I meet Sat Simran & I loved her right away.<br /> I hope to see you some time in New Mexico again, you know you always have a home here.<br /> Many Blessings<br /> Gurubachan Kaur</p> Dearest Ganga,

I remember meeting Ganga Bhajan back in 77-78 and have never forgotten her grace and beauty. You used to sing a punjabi poem "Sikh kahavan vale Sikho", I don't know if you remember but I still remember hearing you sing this at the Gurudwara in NY. I was in California some years back and tried to find if you were around so I am thrilled you are well. Wishing you the best. Fateh. I am so excited.

I hope you'll send me a message, I'd love to be in touch with you. I heard you were at SSSji's memorial in NM but not until afterward, and I was so sorry not to have gotten to see you and give you a big hug for the Ahimsa days where I was blessed to be with you. Hope you are well; thank you for writing of your earliest days with SSSji! Love, Gurukarm Kaur Dear sweet Ganga ji, how happy I am to see you are still here, still available to us in some way!

When you do it with the heart, it all becomes love". I do remember you from the early days... your strong and clear energy. thanks for writing down the memories of those days (I lived at Hargobind Sadan/ Banana Ananda in San Rafael) Hi Ganga - I love your last line “it doesn’t matter what you are doing so much as it does with what you are doing it.
