The Sat-Chit-Anand Watershow at Swaminarayan Akshardham, Gandhinagar, was ready. As part of the ritual vastu of the Sat-Chit-Anand Watershow a yagna was held at 4.00 p.m. in the presence of Mahant Swami, Ishwarcharan Swami and Viveksagar Swami. The arrangments for the ritual yagna or vastu-homa were made by Shrutiprakash Swami and performed at the newly built amphitheatre by pundits Ghanshyambhai and Mukeshbhai. When Swamishri arrived he participated in the final rituals. Thereafter an assembly was held at the venue in the presence of devotees and volunteers. Ishwarcharan Swami explained about the components of the show and how it was created by the blessings of Swamishri. The creative director of the show, Yves Pépin, talked about how he became involved with the BAPS and the show. Mahant Swami also addressed the audience. And finally, Swamishri blessed the guests, “All those involved in the show have prepared a beautiful show. Thousands will see this show and God will bless all those who have been involved in its making.”
At 7.05 p.m. the 45-minute-long Sat-Chit-Anand Watershow commenced. Thereafter, Swamishri personally expressed his appreciations to Yves Pépin and his team (Photos in April 2010 issue, inside cover)
