This will be a good place to have front-row seats to watch the great spiritual shifting from&nbsp;east to west!<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><b class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><b class=\"\">I am building the dome as a humble tribute to my own Master, Great&nbsp;Master Hazur Maharaj Baba Sawan Singh Ji. The dome is an opportunity for doing seva. Some people suggested to me that a few millionaires could just build the dera for you. I said, \u201cBut that\u2019s not the idea.\u201d The idea is that each one of us should get some participation in it, like we did in the dera in India. I want every satsangi, even the poorest of the poor, to be given the opportunity to offer something in seva, even if it is only a dollar. I would also like all satsangis, rich and poor, young and old, to participate in the construction, even if they can only carry one brick. Your smallest efforts are precious to me and to Great Master. This is seva of love and devotion.<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><b class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><b class=\"\">This project is a project of love, and I thank all of you for your&nbsp;loving Seva, which I greatly appreciate.&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><b class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><b class=\"\">With my love and Great Master\u2019s Blessings,&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><b class=\"\"><br class=\"\">Ishwar Puri<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"F6829BE4-A7B2-46E1-B216-7F57F737DD24\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/ishanews.org\/ishwarsprojects2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Dera-2019-Susanne-.jpeg\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;Dear Friends, &nbsp; Below is a holiday message from Ishwar. &nbsp; With warmest regards,Paul BauerChair of ISHA Building &amp; Fund-Raising Committee &nbsp; &nbsp; Dear Friends, I send you all my love and Great Master\u2019s Blessings for this holiday season.&nbsp; &nbsp; I am looking forward to 2020 with&nbsp;great anticipation and excitement, for it appears it will [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-construction-chronicles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ishanews.org\/ishwarsprojects2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4425","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ishanews.org\/ishwarsprojects2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ishanews.org\/ishwarsprojects2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ishanews.org\/ishwarsprojects2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ishanews.org\/ishwarsprojects2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4425"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ishanews.org\/ishwarsprojects2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4425\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4428,"href":"https:\/\/ishanews.org\/ishwarsprojects2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4425\/revisions\/4428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ishanews.org\/ishwarsprojects2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ishanews.org\/ishwarsprojects2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ishanews.org\/ishwarsprojects2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
