Dear Members of the International Khalsa Council, SDI Ministers and Esteemed Sangat Members,
Wahe Guru Ka Khalsa, Wahe Guru Ki Fateh!
Finally, we are in the long-awaited cusp to the Aquarian Age, bringing with it great change. Since this is also a time of transition within our community, as Sikhs of the Guru and Ministers of this Dharma, this Spring International Khalsa Council will provide us an opportunity to gather together in prayer to renew our spirits. We have undergone some very difficult times, facing issues which have challenged us to the very foundation of our beliefs and values.
This spring brings us to the closure to the theme: "Moving Forward in Unity with Integrity, Inclusion and Equality", which has been on the agenda for the past two years. We listened, acted, and sat in dialog circles together. Our present and our future lies in us all being committed to engaging in seva and reaching out to our communities.
This meeting will be an opportunity to invest time in renewing our spirit, sharing our service projects while joining together in prayer and togetherness to honor our path and the people who have chosen to serve it.
We came into this Dharma, guided by the Guru, to offer these Teachings and this path of Dharma, as a way of life that would serve to uplift humanity. Finding our grace with each other, establishing communication with each other which holds dignity and compassion for each other’s point of view is an effort that we all need to make, if we intend to fulfill our collective mission under the Guru’s protection and guidance.
Toward this effort, you are all invited as ministers and leaders of this Dharma to bring your radiant presence to the upcoming April Khalsa Council session which is dedicated to prayer and upliftment.
The Spring Baisakhi Session of the International Khalsa Council will be via Zoom on
- Friday, April 19th from 9am-5:00pm MDT (11am-7pm Chile; 5pm-1am CEST; 8:30 pm-4:30 am IST).
- Saturday, April 20th for a half day from 9 am-1 pm MDT (11am-3pm Chile; 5pm-9pm CEST; 8:30pm-12:30am IST).
Please respond to this invitation at khalsacouncil@sikhdharma.org to let us know whether you plan to attend. For those attending, updated information about the agenda will be sent to you prior to the meetings.
All of your voices are very important. By the Grace of Guru Ram Das, we will be guided to deliver our service to humanity by living in harmony under the Guru’s guidance to offer these Teachings to the world.
May the Light and Blessings of Guru Ram Das illuminate your hearts and be with you always.
Blessings,
SS Prem Kaur Khalsa
Acting Secretary General/CEO
