Hello Friends and Family
Gandhi Museum, Bahai Temple, Sikh Temple, Hindu Temple and Farewell Dinner
Saturday, September 29, 2007
Yesterday, we visited Birla House, where Gandhi spent his last 144 days and where this man of peace was assassinated by one of his own Hindustani fanatics.
It was a very moving experience.
There was a comprehensive chronicling of his life and works in photographs, quotes, dioramas, and multi-media interactive exhibits.
The Museum has a very rich collection of relics, books, journals and documents, photographs, audio-visual materials, exhibitions, art pieces and other memorabilia closely connected with Mahatma Gandhi.
Outside there was an exhibit of his footsteps that led to the place he was assasinated that fateful day.
Some of us returned this morning.
Next we visited a Hindu Temple. Ohm means God is omnipotent and omnipresent.
Today, we will visit the Lotus Blossom Bahai Temple and a Sikh temple before our farewell dinner at Shama's house.
Our flight home will be after midnight tonight.
Namaste!
Karla in India
