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, “It’s 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.
