OM SRI SAI RAM

REPORT ON PROCEEDINGS OF PREMJYOTHI EXHIBITION AT BARODA
FIFTH DAY - 7th January 2008


Every day of the Exhibition is marked with beautiful floral decorations of the shrine. The ladies Seva dal of Baroda daily commence their work on floral decorations at 6.00 AM in the morning so that they could complete the same by 8.45 AM before the exhibition is opened for the public. The floral decorations were planned one day in advance so that the flowers could be sourced, cleaned, and thereafter appropriately trimmed. The floral decorations were made at the main shrine and in front of all photographs of Bhagawan.

All panels were organized in a back to back manner such that the backside of the panels is not exposed. Wherever, there are such cases, these were covered with beautiful photographs of Bhagawan of the size of 6 x 4 ft. All visitors were very much fascinated by these beautiful photographs as it gave them a distinct feeling that they were having Darshan of our Beloved Sai right in front of them. Several visitors prayed with folded hands near these photographs and for those few minutes were in silent communion with the Divine.

All VIPs who came to the Exhibition were specially taken care of. A senior Sai devotee accompanied such VIPs and explained the panels in detail. After going through all the panels, they were taken to a special VIP room, wherein they were made comfortable and offered tea / snacks. VIPs were thereafter interviewed on video. Typical interview questions relate to (a) their reactions after seeing the Exhibition, (b) what they liked the most, and (c) their message to the general public. All VIPs also recorded their review comments on the Exhibition. All VIPs were given a gift pack containing Sai literature, photograph and Prasadam. The following VIPs visited the Exhibition on the fifth day:

Shri S Shankaran, Senior Divisional Safety Officer, Western Railway, Baroda said "This is a wonderfully organized exhibition. The Grace and Blessings of Baba have been beautifully depicted. The organizers have also made elaborate arrangements to spread the message of Bhagawan"

Shri D. M Verma, Divisional Operating Manager, said "It is an extraordinary exhibition. It provided spiritual knowledge. It also portrayed that Sathya Sai Baba has taken care of the people of interior villages.

Dr. Mukesh R Shah - Eminent Dentist had the following comments to offer. "It is a very good exhibition wherein the photographs are excellent and messages are very clear. The message is given in very simple language. This exhibition is a must for all schools and college students "

Mr. J. R Khedkar, an eminent Chartered Accountant of the city was overwhelmed with the Exhibition. This is what he said "I am reminded of the shloka in Bhagawad Gita which says "Sambhavami Yuge Yuge" and the confirmation of the Avatar. This exhibition is well managed and is bein
g done with Love and Devotion.

In all 2496 visitors visited the Exhibition on the fifth day taking the total of visitors to 14942 in the first five days.

We pray to Bhagawan to generate the required awareness and motivate all citizens of Baroda to visit the Exhibition in the days to come.

REPORT ON PROCEEDINGS OF PREMJYOTHI EXHIBITION AT BARODA
SIXTH DAY - 8th January 2008

The sixth day of the Exhibition began at 9.00 AM in the morning.

The entrance to the Exhibition was beautifully decorated welcoming all to visit the Exhibition. On the main road, festoons and gate were erected informing all about the Prem Jyothi exhibition nearby. This gate informed everyone about the dates / time and venue of the Exhibition and the organizers. Most people driving on that road have stopped, turned, and visited the Exhibition.

At the entrance of the Exhibition ground, an entrance gate was erected, which was aptly named as the "Prem Dwar". This gate provided the direction to all on how they could get into the Exhibition venue. The gate was designed based on the Chaitanya Jyothi museum at Prashanthi Nilayam.

All visitors would enter the exhibition through the main gate. Sevadal with folded hands and "Sairam" on their lips welcomed the visitor inside the shrine. The Gate had the Sarva Dharma symbol on the sides of the dome and the lotus symbol with the Divine light at the top. Once visitors enter through this gate, they were able to see the beautiful shrine area.

On the side of this main entrance, a beautiful Rangoli decoration was done by the ladies Seva Dal.

Being a working day, the visitors came in ones and twos in the morning and afternoon. However as the evening progressed, several people came in with their families and friends. School children from the Shri Sathya Sai School, Surat visited the Exhibition.

Amongst the VIP's who visited the Exhibition were Shri K C P Patnaik, IRS (Commissioner of Income Tax) who said "It has been a wonderful experience to watch the exhibition. It is truly a labour of Love".

Shri V.S Dole, DGM, Union Bank of India, Baroda said "It was an excellent experience. It touched the heart and is a good lesson to everyone. There cannot be an Exhibition better than this for informing all about the activities of Baba. All have taken pains to make the Exhibition fruitful"

We pray to Bhagawan to generate the required awareness and motivate all citizens of Baroda to visit the Exhibition in the days to come.
