The Phoenix Gurdwara (4)<br />

I regularly visit the Phoenix community to support their growth. This<br />

community has taken on the huge project of building a beautiful<br />

new Gurdwara. The Community Development Office at International<br />

Headquarters in Espanola, New Mexico offered its support by introducing<br />

a process called Appreciative Inquiry. It is a process that creates questions<br />

to guide community members in the<br />

discovery and design of manifesting<br />

their future together. The strength of a<br />

community lies in its spirit to participate<br />

and serve but the growth and caliber<br />

comes from the personal purity of each<br />

individual keeping up with their daily<br />

spiritual practice.<br />

Amar Infinity<br />

Giving that goes beyond time and space creates a legacy that serves the<br />

memory of one’s success. So Amar Infinity was formed to serve those who<br />

wish to be remembered beyond time and space for their contributions to<br />

humanity. To support this worthy organization, I have served on the Board<br />

of Amar Infinity since its inception. The Amar focus is to educate and<br />

inspire others towards philanthropic actions and programs and to build<br />

relationships that support philanthropic giving. To this end Amar Infinity<br />

Giving creates success and<br />

serving brings happiness<br />

and fulfillment.<br />

sponsors two golf tournaments each year. Last year the Amar donors<br />

supported over one hundred and fifty charitable nonprofit organizations<br />

that serve humanity. More and more donors are lining up annually for<br />

some golfing fun together in Phoenix.<br />

European Khalsa Council ( )<br />

Each January the European teachers and community leaders meet in<br />

Amsterdam to participate in the European<br />

Khalsa Council Meetings. Their current<br />

agenda is “Sikh Dharma Teachings.” We<br />

shared our deepest insights, wisdom,<br />

and experiences as we built our bonds of<br />

love and support for each other. I led the<br />

Council through a prosperity visioning<br />

process to set a financial goal that<br />

would serve the future of the European<br />

Community in the purchase of land for their annual Summer European<br />

Yoga Festival, a celebration that brings 1,500 people together from<br />

around the world. +<br />
