Sahajanand Darshan / Hall of Values


The Sahajanand Darshan or Hall of Values is a huge
museum of India's Spiritual Heritage, and the heritage of the Swaminarayan sect, featured through the life of His Holiness Bhagwan Swaminarayan. The many exhibits portray the messages of ahimsa (nonviolence), endeavor, prayer, vegetarianism, family harmony, etc. through 3-D dioramas and presentations from the life of His Holiness Bhagwan Swaminarayan. Exquisite settings and statues in each diorama are brought to life through robotics, fibre optics, light and sound effects, dialogues and music, transporting the audience to 18th century India.

Garden
of India / Bharat Upvan

"Through the millenniums people have always looked up to role models for inspiration, guidance, peace and courage. Their sterling lives radiate a perennial glow for the whole of mankind, regardless of all human, geographical and cultural distinctions. India, which has the most ancient continuous civilisation in the world, which hosts one sixth of humanity and has the largest democracy in the world, has produced from its vast cultural matrix a legion of role models for the world to emulate."

The Garden of India is a huge garden featuring flora and fauna from all over the length and breadth India, from the Himalayas to the Kanyakumari, and the Deserts of Persia to the Jungles of Burma. The Bharat Upvan also has statues and figures of India's Kings, Warriors and Freedom Fighters, India's National Figures, and India's Women Personalities.

Musical Fountains / Yagnapurush Kund


The Yagnapurush Kund is a fascinating combination of a Vedic yagna kund and a musical fountain. It is the world's largest yagna kund measuring 300' X 300' with 2,870 steps and 108 small shrines. In its center lies an 8-petaled lotus shaped yagna kund designed according to the Jayaakhya Samhita of the Panchratra scripture. Its perfect geometric forms testify to ancient India's ancient knowledge in mathematics and geometry. At night the center comes to life with a colorful musical water fountain that echoes the Vedic sentiments of India.

FYI .....



During The Attack on Akshardham temple on
24th September 2002 this

Brave Man fought the greatest battle of his life. Yes he was the

N.S.G. Commando Late Mr. Surjan Singh, who sacrificed his life for

the Nation. Sadly On 19th May 2004 he lost the Toughest and Longest

battle against life exactly after 600 Days being in Coma, he lost this

life.



The Bullet which hit him in the head made him Unconscious for almost

600 days. His family members were hoping that one day their Hero

will open his eyes but he didn't.



It was the Longest Wait for the family members of this Brave Man.

When the whole India was busy in Guessing Who will be the Next PM of the

country - Will it be Sonia or will it be Manmohan Singh, This man

was fighting his Last battle. But it's so sad that in the hype of all

the Political Drama, the News about his Death was Lost like a needle in

a hay stack! Even the leading News Papers & So Called Best News


Channels of
India which Works on 24 X 7 basis, failed to highlight this

story

of the Brave Man. Unfortunately it was mentioned somewhere on the

middle page of some newspaper.....This was the Reward for the Brave

task for which he lost his life.


Besides his Family members, only one thing was there with him during

those toughest 600 days. It was there near his bed till the last

Moment. Can you guess what it was?............... It was the

"Tiranga", yes! Our National Flag, which was saluting him for his

Great cause. Absolutely No words can suffice our Gratitude towards

him...



If news papers refuse to cover, TV channels refuse to cover, let us

do our bit. Please forward this mail to as many people as you can. This

is the only way we can salute his Bravery...
