Sat Nam friends and family,
After teaching in Bavaria, I spent five relaxing days with Satya Kaur and Shiv Charan Singh in their new home about 45 minutes north of Lisbon, Portugal.
Actually I would call their home more a small villa, nestled in a valley surrounded by ancient green terraced hills of grain, fruit trees and vineyards in the village of Santa Susana.
They have been blessed to have this "built to order" home, complete with a yoga room and guest rooms.
A professional gardener and a French sevadar, Stephane, has recently landscaped the property with more than 25 fruit trees, a organic garden, and flowers. A beautiful sitting room overlooks a panorama of ancient green terraced hills.

 My First Teacher
My mother, Rose Mesich, was my first teacher. She shared with me, her first child, her experience of courage, endurance and adventure. I brought this grit with me when I moved to Amsterdam, six months pregnant with my daughter, Madhur Nain. We move to a foreign country as a newly married young woman, not speaking the language, not knowing anyone, not knowing the future, however wild with youthful exploration. My first teacher was with me.
Her love of family, food and organization gave me priceless tools to nurture the first Guru Ram Das Ashram in Hamburg, Germany. (Her grandmother was from Bavaria, Germany.) The grit to live the words of Yogi Bhajan - "KEEP UP!" - were ingrained first in my psyche in the womb of my mother. To create delicious foods and serve them to friends was learnt in my mother's kitchen. I was the understudy how to create a cozy home with your own ingenuity, with your own innovative hands.
Her dedication to Holy Maria inspired me to honor the Divine Feminine, the Adi Shakti, which manifests in all women, and blesses all women uniquely when they are pregnant and give birth. With that love of the Shakti, the cells of my being directed my life to share the yogic teachings for women and pregnancy around the globe.
She taught me a love of nature, and abundant gardens of roses, tomatoes, peaches and berries. I think of her as I plant the beets, care for the apple trees and dig the compost here in New Mexico.
She passed on January 11, 2010. I am grateful that she was my first teacher.
Bountiful blessing to her Soul forever. Sat Nam, Tarn Taran Kaur
