Khosla's short film wins in Hollywood
Khosla's short film, "The Temple Beyond Tolerance" directed and produced by Northcutt/Loften Productions, was screened at Hollywood's RebelPlanet Short Film Festival (www.rebelplanet.com), on April 20, 2007, and won second place in the Documentary Category. The film was scripted and scored by Khosla and features original songs from Khosla's album "The Temple." The film was also recently selected for screening at the Breckenridge film festival (www.breckfilms.com), the oldest film festival in the United States.

The Temple Beyond Tolerance Eight minute film shot in color; original soundtrack What is true tolerance? In The Temple Beyond Tolerance, Dhillon Khosla, approaches this question from the spiritual, rather than political, perspective. As he takes us through his very personal story of having been born in the wrong body -- and the extraordinary measures he took to find his way home -- he illuminates for us the path towards true tolerance. What makes his story so unique is that he does not use it to indict or expose the intolerance of others, but instead uses it to reveal his own past shadows of intolerance and how he set about transforming those shadows into light.

August 2006 - (Penguin Group) Khosla's book Both Sides Now has been purchased for publication in Italy by Ediznoi II Punto D'Incon.The book is slated for release in early 2008.
On the music front...
Khosla has formed a collaboration with producer Johannes Luley of My Sonic Temple (www.mysonictemple.com), and is currently in the studio with Luley working on a new, updated version of his album, "The Temple."

"The temple contains some of the best songs created during a most profound period of my life and Luley - whose discography includes a two-time grammy nominated album - brings the kind of perfectionism to the recording and mixing process that will allow me to finally put these songs to rest." dhillon k.

The album is slated for release in 2009.

Khosla makes History at Catholic Institution
On April 18th, 2007, Khosla made history when he delivered the keynote address for the National Day of Silence at the University of San Diego, a Roman-Catholic affiliated Institution. Khosla shared how his journey through so many stations taught him what it means to honor the Commandment of True Tolerance: "the willingness to witness and accept another for who they truly are, rather than to seek to make them into a reflection of ourselves." Khosla's message was well-received by students and faculty alike and was one of his most rewarding lectures to date:

"To have the opportunity to speak of my journey in purely personal and spiritual -- as opposed to political -- terms was profoundly rewarding. Without this foundation, no true change is possible." dhillon k.
