NRI Yogi Harbhajan Singh Memorial Highway
was named by New Mexico State Transportation Commission
in 2005
Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico in his remarks
on the occasion said: Yogiji was not only
a spiritual leader, but was a business and social leader
as well. And he kept a hand in politics too. I know
many of the elected officials here today often sought
his counsel in professional and personal matters, as
I did many times. This highway is travelled by all of
you and lies in the heart of your community; it is therefore
with great pleasure that I declare New Mexico State
Highway 106 as Yogi Bhajan Memorial Highway.

In honor of the late NRI,
Sikh international spiritual leader Harbhajan Singh
Yogi, Gov. Bill Richardson
of New Maxico announced
that State Highway 106 passing through Sombrillo will
be Yogi
Bhajan Memorial Highway
Yogi Bhajan was a special man- a man of peace,
compassion, and intelligence who profoundly influenced
the lives of those he met and countless others around
the world, Governor Bill Richardson said. He
lives on in our hearts, and his spiritual leadership,
legacy of giving, and positive impact on the business
community will shine as an example for generations
to come. It is fitting that we pay tribute to Yogi
Bhajan by naming this road in his beloved Española
Valley in his honor.
This is one of the special things I get to
do as a state transportation commissioner to
honor such a long-time friend and the leader of our
state, Transportation Commission Chairman Johnny
Cope said. To honor such a person through naming
the road gives me great pleasure, and to pass such
a resolution is a joy, one that our governor initiated.
Transportation Commissioner David Schutz from Santa
Fe said, Yogi Bhajan was an international spiritual
leader as well as an international business leader.
He loved the Espanola Valley. He used to comment,
God is everywhere, but his mailing address is
Espanola, New Mexico. It is an honor to memorialize
his love for the Espanola Valley by naming NM 106
through Sombrillo as the Yogi Bhajan Memorial Highway.
State Transportation Secretary Rhonda Faught said,
Its truly an honor for me to be a small
part of this action to memorialize the Yogi in this
way.
The Transportation Commission unanimously approved
a resolution naming NM 106 after Yogi Bhajan at its
meeting held at the Pueblo of Laguna.
