Guru Ram Das Puri
Guru Ram Das Puri is the name given to a piece of land nestled on the edge of the Jemez Mountains, overlooking the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the Chama River Valley in northern New Mexico.
Yogi Bhajan spoke about the extraordinary healing and transformation that occurs on this sacred land. He was told that tribes from both South and North America used to gather here to celebrate and participate in sacred healing. The tradition of healing and peace continued when the land was passed onto Yogi Bhajan in 1974.
For more about the history of Guru Ram Das Puri, see the article The Sacred Land of Guru Ram Das Puri (87KB PDF).
Meals
Meals are simple, delicious, and vegetarian, ranging from baked tofu and vegetables to a burrito bar complete with fresh salsa and guacamole. Many of our meals include one or all of the “Holy Trinity” spices: onions, garlic and ginger, which are said to keep the system invigorated and energized. At the time of registration, please indicate any special dietary needs you may have.
