Episode 46: The Ram Das Puri Land Purchase Story with Gigi Kaur; (GuruGun Kaur - 3HO member from -1971 - 1983)

Uncomfortable Conversations Podcast The Untold Stories of the 3HO Kundalini Yoga Community

Guru Gun Kaur, simply goes by Gigi, joined 3HO in 1972 at Mendocino Summer Solstice.

She became devoted to the practice of yoga, cleansing and detoxing from her young adult years during the time of sex, drugs and rock and roll; moving away from the “negative” lifestyle, while rapidly moving toward her new found faith and “conscious” family, led by Yogi Bhajan.

For the next 12 years she immersed herself in the Sikh tradition of sacred music, Kirtan and her faith as a sacred devotion. She was arranged to be married in 1974 and soon after in 1976, YB influenced her to relinquish her family inheritance, which was eventually used to purchase the Summer Solstice land, known in 3HO as Ram Das Puri, in Espanol, New Mexico.

In 1979 YB turned on Gigi, vowing to destroy her, and eventually influenced her to give up her children to her ex-husband. Yet she carried on as a devotee until December 1983, when she finally left; but remained devoted to the Sikh Faith.

2020 was an uproar which opened the old wounds and forced her into the swirl of all that went left unexamined. Today Gigi finds herself struggling to even keep a roof over her head, yet in spite of all of this trauma and loss, she knows she’s on the path to healing the deep emotional wounds she has suffered. She’s in contact with her children, who’ve also shared their stories with her of their abuse during the years after she was forced to leave them behind.

She’s grateful for all spiritual support and prayers in the spirit of brotherly and sisterly love.

* Show correction* The solstice land; Ram Das Puri is in the Jemez mountain range (not Truchas, which is to the East of the Sangres range) It is the Tewa People’s land.
