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.

was organized displaying the Wedding of Lord Shiva with participants dressed
up as monkeys, saints, the deaf & dumb,the lame and blind etc. This tableau
