The Passing of Sat Kartar Kaur Khalsa

May 6, 1951 - March 16, 2025

Dear Friends and Family,

Sat Nam, on Thursday March 20, 2025, we will be holding a cremation ceremony for Sat Kartar Khalsa at 10:00 am at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Please join us to pray, meditate, and celebrate her passage from earth on to her next step. We would love for friends, family, and sangat to come and celebrate her journey unto the Infinite. The service will begin with Japji, Waheguru chanting/Simran, followed by Ardas and Kirtan Sohila.

Sat Kartar Khalsa was born on May 6th, 1951 in Atlanta, Georgia. She joined the 3H0 dharma in 1971 and lived in the ashrams in Virginia/DC, Espanola, Los Angeles, and Phoenix. During Sat Kartar's youth, she developed a love for music that carried forward and permeated her time on this earth until the end of her life; the staff at her senior care played her music for the other residents in her final days. She passed away on March 16, 2025 at approximately 7:30 pm in peace, surrounded by her family.

She is survived by her two children Ajai Khalsa and Sukhmani Khalsa.

Thanks,

Sukhmani

Also, on Sunday, March 23, 2025 at Guru Ram Das Ashram as part of the Sunday Kirtan Program, we will chant Akal for the soul of Sat Kartar Kaur, and serve special dessert provided in her memory.
