In the morning, there was the inauguration of the Satsang Hall at the newly constructed Gita Bhavan, by the auspicious hands of Rev. Dada. There was a short satsang, with kirtan, aarti and a few words of benediction by Rev. Dada.
The Hall will now be used frequently for satsangs and will also be utilized by the schools as their Sanctuary Hall. On the 2nd floor of the building was a beautiful Rangoli exhibition of portraits of Sadhu Vaswani and Dada J.P. Vaswani.

One day was devoted to the ‘Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra’, the second to the ‘Gayatri Mantra’ and on the third day the ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ was sung, over and over, throughout the day.

“Dear Dada,
Once again I have the privilege, honour and joy of wishing you many happy returns of this day. Since I met you, one year ago you have made a deep impression on me and you have been in my mind and thoughts almost everyday. I am not exaggerating.
