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 />
