I had the great good fortune of being your neighbor in 2 communities, first in LA at Siri Gurbani Ashram in LA when Guru Prakash Singh was just a baby. What a blessing to have 2 experianced matas (you and Nav Jiwan) on the same floor as me. Again in Espanola, I was so fortunate to have you near, as a role model and as a friend. God bless you, and I love you Seva! Sat Nam,

I remember his warm and caring voice during the yearly yoga festivals when he used to walk around with his guitar and wake us up with the sound of "rise up rise up sweet family dear"..... The sound of those words still touch my heart. It reminds me of his smile, the time he sat opposite me during an agonising exercise and asked me a hundred and one times'tell me who you are" His encouragement was the beginning of a long journey of wonderful discoveries. May love and light be with him and his loved ones. Nirvair Kaur Curtis Australia I met Sardar Singh in 1976 in Amsterdam in the Golden Temple as a young yoga student.

I echo Ganga's sentiments, and Zoe's about how innocent and purposeful we were back then. It was especially fun to remember the rock and roll outrage of "Working at the Golden Temple" and the total uproar we caused (mainly Ganga, Niranjan, and Hari Har Kaur with their go-go dancing). Back iin those days everyone was trying so hard to be holy that we thought it would be a good idea to shake things up a little. --Sat Peter (aka Peter Alexander) Thanks, Siri Ved Kaur:

Remember me - I lived in Wash. DC with you all from 1973 to Jan. 1977. I worked at Golden Temple Concious Cookery and had a son, Sat Charan Singh Swanson. Anyway, was glad to see you are doing well and retired. I am very happy and live in the country in North Central Florida. You were and are a very special lady and I always admired you and was a bit jealous of you also, but not anymore. Just decided the other day to type some names in google and yours was one.

The Gurdwara is the name of the Sikh temple, a place where the Siri Guru Granth Sahib presides. See http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php?title=Sri_Guru_Granth_Sahib for a thorough description of this. An ashram is a place of community and spiritual learning. Our communities were and are exactly that. In Los Angeles we had the very first Guru Ram Das Ashram (many more followed around the world). Guru Ram Das, the 4th Sikh Guru, held the throne of Raj Jog, the King of Yoga, and thus the name Guru Ram Das Ashram. It is the center of our community here in L.A. and also is our Gurdwara. But like I said, Sikhs pray everywhere. :-) blessings sv Sikhs pray everywhere. The Gurdwara is the name of the Sikh temple, a place where the Siri Guru Granth Sahib presides.
