YOUR HELP IN SUPPORTING THE GURU'S MISSION
is Humbly Requested!
Guru Ram Das Ashram Gurdwara holds a special place in that mission. The times we live in are challenging to all of humanity. Guru Ram Das Ashram creates a beacon of peace, guidance, and inspiration. We are looking to increase our services to the sangat. We would like to continue to have high quality Kirtan performed by professional ragi jethas for Sunday Gurdwara Program. Daily langar is now being served from 12pm to 1pm every Monday and Wednesday. Gurdwara hours have been extended to 6pm Monday through Friday with Rehiras Sahib and the closing Hukam of the day starting at 5:15pm. In mid-October morning gurdwara will be held every Monday through Saturday morning. In order to supply these and other services we hope to institute, we are working to increase donations by $10,000. What's most helpful is signing up for a monthly donation to the Electronic Funds Transfer. It creates a financial base that we can plan around. The link for that is: gururamdasashram.org/thanks-supporting-guru-ram-das-ashram.
If it's more convenient, you can contact our community coordinator, Karan Nam Singh, directly at (310) 858-7691 from 8:30am - 3pm Monday through Friday. If EFT is not possible, a one time donation is extremely helpful.
We truly appreciate all of the physical support, prayers, and seva that the sangat has provided for all these years. May God Bless you all as the sangat goes forward in spreading the Guru's light!

Stand with Ram Prakash in Her Cancer Fight
Support Siri Sahib and Ram Prakash During Their Time of Need
Siri Sahib Singh became an acupuncturist out of deep passion for healing. However, he returned to working as a contractor to provide more for his family. About two and a half years ago, Siri Sahib fell gravely ill. His wife, Ram Prakash—a gifted facialist with a sharp wit, a big heart, and an incredible sense of humor—had to stop working to care for him. Their daughter, GuruKirtan, has been helping as well, providing support through these difficult times.
Now, Ram Prakash is facing her own health battle: stage three cancer. The cancer has spread to her lymphatic system and part of her intestines, and there may be other organs involved, but the full extent is still unknown. As a result, the family has been left without savings and unable to earn an income.
Both Siri Sahib and Ram Prakash are truly kind and selfless individuals who have made a positive impact on our 3HO community and beyond. They’ve touched many lives through their work, their daughter, and her school. Now, it's our turn to show them the love and support they so deserve during this incredibly difficult time.
Please consider making a donation to help them with medical expenses, daily living costs, and to alleviate some of the financial burden they’re facing. No amount is too small, and every bit of support will make a difference.
If you're able, give what you can, and consider adding an additional $5, $50, or $100—because the more we can contribute, the more we can ensure that this family receives the care and comfort they need during this challenging time.
Thank you so much for your generosity. Your love and support will come back to you in ways you can’t imagine.
With deep gratitude,
Gurutej and Marla
