RAM DAS SINGH KHALSA
Director of Registration & Customer Service
What do I Do: I mainly run registration for our events, and customer service for the organization as a whole. I also help out with our event operations and produce the teaching program and booklet for our solstice events.
Favorite teaching: "We have five thousand years of human experiments and human experience at the universal level, which includes all thoughts, all forms, all religions, all practices, and all projections. It comes down to the basic fact that the human is created out of the ray of light of the creative, Infinite God, and the very human human existence is for happiness. This is the standard biological, psychological, sociological, fundamental truth." Yogi Bhajan, Excerpt from Psyche of the Soul
