4worldlovers: All beings be happy. May they be joyous and live in safety. All living beings, whether weak or strong, tall or short, big or small, visible or not visible, near or far away, already born or yet to be born. May all beings be happy.


May no one deceive or look down on anyone anywhere, for any reason. Whether through feeling angry or through reacting to someone else, may no one want another to suffer. May all beings be happy.

Even in times of great suffering there is always a path to enlightenment

I’m open to suggestions on how to be a good uncle.

I have not read or found any books on what it means to be a passable uncle, let alone found a checklist that details what’s required of being a good uncle. There aren’t any flowcharts to follow and few standardized practices. Being a parents for the first time isn’t exactly easy either, as I have discovered over the last two years, but at the very least there are countless books, online forums and strangers coming out of the woodwork to give me unsolicited advice on everything from changing diapers with minimum splash back to finding the nebulous line between bribery and motivation when trying to ween child off of a diet that consists most of oranges. In other words, while being a father isn’t necessarily easy, it’s at least a somewhat defined role in which I can make, hopefully positive, decisions.

Guru Nanak Dwara, which means "Gate to Guru Nanak," was established in 1970 as the first Gurdwara in the state of Arizona. Today, it continues to serve the community as a vibrant spiritual campus in the center of historic Phoenix. Guru Nanak was the founder and first Guru of Sikhism, and taught that all humans are equal in the eyes of the One Creator.


First time visiting Guru Nanak Dwara? Follow these four steps when entering.


By coming into the Gurdwara, you are entering the Guru's royal court and joining the Sadh Sangat (company of the holy). Putting on modest, formal clothes is an outward projection of our internal respect for the Guru's court.


Taking off our shoes & socks before entering the Gurdwara has both a hygienic, practical effect of keeping the Gurdwara clean and a reverent, spiritual effect of leaving the outside world behind.


Putting on a head cover gives form to the understanding that the head is the crown of our consciousness. In Gurdwara, this signifies that we honor and protect the seat of our spiritual awareness.


Cleanliness is next to Godliness. By cleaning our hands and feet before we enter the Gurdwara we sanitize our bodies so we can cleanse our spirits.

Guru Nanak Dwara was founded in 1970 as an Ashram (spiritual learning center) committed to practicing both the Sikh way of life and Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. In the early days, many of those attracted to Guru Nanak Dwara were the soul-searching youth of the consciousness revolution. Guru Nanak Dwara was unlike other collectives of the time as it provided a drug and alcohol free environment where spiritual discipline (daily Sadhana) and selfless service (Seva) were the means of peace, calm and delight. Bonds of support were formed through countless hours of meditation, singing, cooking, working and eating together.

"Edit April 2022: Four years have lapsed since I wrote my review and since I was last in Tempe to check in on my belongings. I am dropping my rating from 5 stars to 1. Where the facilities were once spotless, I arrived yesterday to conditions being the dirtiest I have seen them since I began renting here. I specifically moved from an outside unit to an inside unit to protect from excessive dust and for the evap cooling. I am storing a large art installation and everything was covered in thick dust, the hallways were filthy and items stored in boxes very warm to the touch on a day that was under 90 degrees. The coolers were not running and doors at both ends of the hallway open to the outside (people - pull down doors when you are done accessing your unit). My rent has increased steadily each year yet the conditions have significantly deteriorated. I cannot recommend AZ Storage anymore. I've been here for 9 years now and have known several of the managers over this time. Amber and her a..."

"I have had a storage unit here for around 3 years now and I have never had an issue. Storage units are nice and prices are good. The new manager Amber is one of the friendliest people I have encountered in a long time. She takes time to get to know her customers. The first time I had met her she was very friendly and welcoming. I didn't go the office again for over a month and she still remembered me and what we had talked about. Would recommend anyone needing a storage in this area to come here to the Tempe office."

"We found about about AZ Storage Inns online, and we had a great experience with Mike to set up our new storage unit. He was very accommodating and worked with us to reserve the unit for a few extra days until my husband could check out the size and location. He even helped us out by applying an extra discount on top of the web rate discount. It was a great experience, made very easy, and it felt like Mike really wanted to make sure we had an easy experience. Location is perfect for our needs, and the driveways and walkways are wide and easy to move things in and out of."

"I was very impressed by the young man, Cam, who helped me when I first rented the unit. He gave me several options, and even recommended that i get a Renter's insurance policy, instead of paying the additional cost each month. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Cam even had me laughing which, given my recent separation, isn't that easy."

"I have nothing but great things to say about Camron who helped me rent a unit over the phone. We spoke several times over the course of several days and he was always professional, courteous and went above and beyond my expectations. Once, I called before office hours but didn’t leave a message. Shortly after the office opened, I received a call back from him saying he had missed a call from my number! Since I was out of town when I rented the unit, he put a lock on my unit until I was able to get to town to put my own on. When I did get into town, the unit was in good condition and had plenty of room for my college son’s belongings. I highly recommend Arizona Storage Units to anyone looking for storage in the Tempe area."
