當我們第一次來到新墨西哥州的埃斯帕諾拉時，在聖達菲郊外的一個農村小鎮，我們感到非常不受到歡迎。 事實上，事實上，有幾次我們的房子還遭到槍擊！！ 我們戴著頭巾和白色衣服，與他們所知道的一切都很陌生。 但後來，該鎮和Yogiji 以及 3HO / Sikh Dharma 社群之間形成了某種愛和尊重。
Yogiji 愛這片土地，並且非常照顧這片土地。 他種了很多果樹，對房子的景觀非常感興趣。 他是一個完美主義者。 一切都必須一塵不染。 他對最微小的細節有老鷹之眼。 例如，每塊東方地毯上的流蘇都必須經過完美的梳理。 一切都得到了嚴格的維護。 對於他所要求做的任何事情，他都有大象的記憶，不斷地跟進。
有一段時間，在聖達菲的時候，那昂貴汽車前方引擎蓋上的金屬標誌經常被盜，特別是賓士車。於是 Yogiji 設計了一個系統，一旦你停完車，你就必須移除這個標誌，這樣就會自動上鎖。 所以，如果你忘記移除這個標誌，然後這個標誌被偷了，你就沒有辦法再啟動汽車了。 有一次，我就被困在一個購物廣場外，我無法啟動那台車，還等待被救援呢。
在這張照片中，我記得他是在牧場裡散步，正在檢查他的汽車。 夏天的時候，Yogiji 會開車去高山上的夏至瑜珈節位址。 他的官方交通工具是一輛漆成白色的老式軍用吉普車，車門上貼著他的印章，前引擎蓋上插著金色的 Adi Shakti 阿迪夏克堤標誌，錫克旗幟在微風中飄揚。未鋪好的夏至瑜珈節道路，對普通汽車來說是一個挑戰，也是一個可怕的旅程，而當 Yogiji 駕駛吉普車時，它呈現出一個全新的維度。 我閉上了眼睛才活了下來，不知怎的，我知道這不是我們死亡的方式。

When we first came to Espanola, New Mexico, a small rural town outside of Santa Fe, we were made to feel very unwelcome. In fact, there were occasions when we had bullets fired at the property! We were just so alien from anything they had ever known, with our turbans and white clothes. Later a certain love and respect developed between the town and Yogiji, and the 3HO/Sikh Dharma community.
Yogiji loved, and took very good care of the land. He had many fruit trees planted and took a great interest in the landscaping of the property. He was a perfectionist. Everything had to be immaculate. He had an eagle’s eye for the tiniest little detail. For example, the fringe on each oriental carpet had to be perfectly combed. Everything was scrupulously maintained. He had an elephant’s memory for anything he had asked to be done, and followed up on it.
There was a time in Santa Fe, when the metal symbols on the front hoods of expensive cars would frequently get stolen. This particularly applied to the Mercedes. Yogiji devised a system where you had to remove this symbol once you parked your car, and that would automatically lock it. So, if you forgot to remove the symbol, and it got stolen, there was no way you could start the car. On one occasion I was stranded outside a shopping plaza, with a car that I couldn’t start and needed to be rescued.
In this picture, I remember him walking the grounds of the ranch inspecting his vehicles. In summer, Yogiji drove himself to the Summer Solstice site, high in the mountains. An old army jeep painted white, his seal on the door, the gold Adi Shakti symbol planted on the front hood and the Sikh flag fluttering in the breeze, was his official conveyance. The unpaved solstice road, a challenge in a regular car, was a terrifying ride and took on a whole new dimension with Yogiji at the wheel of the jeep. I survived by closing my eyes and somehow knowing that this was not the way we were going to die.
