Explore the meaning of all 40 Paurees

A 3-day in-person event in Española, New Mexico.

Dates: 14-16th June, 2023.

Registration for this course is now closed


Join us for this beautiful three day event among the magnificent Jemez mountains at the Hacienda de Guru Ram Das ashram in Espanola, New Mexico, USA. Give yourself the time to lean into and discover the full depth of the Anand Sahib, composed by the third Sikh Guru, Guru Amar Das. We will explore the meaning of all 40 Paurees of the Anand Sahib, understanding how each verse resonates with the learner’s stage of life.

Bliss comes from living as a realized human being: elegant, radiant, and sensory. Meaning is found through the soul. Satisfaction is gained through knowledge of that soul so that when we are challenged, the psychological state of “Anand” can embrace all aspects of life.

Led by a wonderful supportive team of people, this three-day intensive will calm your mind, soothe your spirit and ignite your joy of life.
