Shivjayanti Celebrations at Lotus House, Ahmedabad - A Report

 This year as it was the 75th Shivjayanti Celebration, a series of programs were held.


On the eve of Shivratri, an evening of songs in praise of Shiv baba was celebrated


on the 27th of February, in which different singers were invited to recite their


bhajans and get the divine message of Shivbaba. Before that, hundreds of balloons


were blown in the sky with every one writing their message on them for God on


the occasion of Shivratri. It was a wonderful scene when red coloured heart


shaped balloons filled the sky, carrying lots of feelings with them for our beloved God.


On 28th March, after the morning murli class 9 BK’s who have crossed 75 years of


their life were felicitated. Looking at this, others who are still young, had the feeling,


we wish! we too were old enough to be felicitated.


Further, on the 1st of March a 25 feet tall, huge Shivlingam was inaugurated in


the presence of 11 VIP’s from different fields.
