Sangat Systems
It is election time again for most Administrative Councils. We are asking each sangat that may need an appointment(s) to submit a list of everyone willing to serve in each capacity. It is vital that all appointments come from a list of sangat members who are willing to serve. All of us have various pressures and priorities at different times of our lives, therefore the willingness, the time and the energy required to volunteer to serve as a Senator may be very different than volunteering to serve as an Executive Secretary.

"Sikh Dharma is for all. It doesn't just give you dictates. That's the difference between Sikh Dharma and other Dharmas. It doesn't tell you or command you to serve everybody. It also lays down a technology of how you can develop the strength to serve everybody. How you can learn the self, self-knowledge, self-defense and the games of the mind. Therefore Ek Ong Kar has a very special aspect. It is the reality of the day. when lived, understood, then you don't find God. God finds you."
