Ashram Seva

Constituency Representatives

Two representatives from each Constituency are elected to serve on the Ashram Administrative Council. The table below lists the representatives that were elected to serve on the Council for 2007.

Missals

All of the duties that are necessary to serve and maintain the environment and activities in the Gurdwara are done by volunteers and are organized through the four missals of Hacienda de Guru Ram Das. These include making Guru ka Langar, Guru’s Prashad, decorating and setting up the Gurdwara, and setting up and running the Siri Akhand Path. Additionally, the missal system functions as a way for each Ashram member to be reached in the case of an immediate communication.

Monthly Missal Duties

Please note: Ishnaan Seva is not included in the Missal duties listed above but is an important part of the care of our Gurdwara. The new time for this seva is now 6:30 am on Sunday mornings. For more information, please contact Prabhu Singh, the new coordinator for this seva area.

Serving the sangat in the company of devoted sevadars is an uplifting and cleansing experience. This work is at the very heart of life at Hacienda de Guru Ram Das. To join a missal or for more information about missal seva, contact the Managing Secretary or one of the individuals shown in the following charts.

Missal Coordinators

Gurdwara Sevadars

Each missal is responsible for one area of Gurdwara seva per week.

Corps of Volunteers

The functions, activities, and seva performed for the community are done by groups known as the Corps of Volunteers (COV).  These special groups utilize their interests and talents for the benefit of the entire community.  Participation in a COV group can be once a year or once per week, depending on your level of interest and the time you have available to give.  If you would like to start a new COV group, contact the Managing Secretary at 367-1315.
