Baba said on January 24, 1998 "Go ahead and explain to <strong>Gyani</strong> the<br />

differences in the light you see during puja and meditation". She<br />

remembered to tell this to me on Feb 22 due to the difference in the light<br />

she saw today.<br />

This is a detail of the light variations she has seen all along, mainly<br />

during puja and some in her meditation. In order to describe this<br />

difference of light it is necessary to give you a mental picture of what<br />

this mandir looks like and what kind of collection of deities it displays.<br />

Mandir is a curio cabinet like case, bottom half of this is made of wood<br />

and painted white with drawers. Top half has a clear glass face with a<br />

glass door on it. By now, the glassed portion displays a good variety of<br />

deities. Elevated, on a two feet high and three feet long pedestal, in the<br />

center there is a 12 inch ivory sculpture of Lord Krishna in the famous<br />

flute playing full size pose. Right behind the sculpture on the wall there<br />

is a heavy gold embossed 3 feet high 2 feet wide wall painting of Sri<br />

Radha and Krishna, this is also a full size pose. As we face the mandir,<br />

on the right side of this center set there is a 3' X 2' picture frame which<br />

holds 9 different pictures of deities. (Sri Ganesh and Lakshmi in one, Sri<br />

Vaishnavidevi, Sri Durga Ma, Sri Sarasvati devi, Sri Venkateshwar<br />

Swami, Sathya Sai Baba by himself holding a Shiva lingam in his right<br />

hand, one shoulder length picture of Sathya Sai Baba, Shirdi Baba and<br />

Prem Sai Baba together, another picture showing only face of Sathya Sai<br />

Baba and Shirdi Baba, one full size pose of Shirdi Baba by himself).<br />

Except for Sai Baba the rest of them are old collections, cut up from<br />

calendars or greeting cards. Our son Shobun always liked Hanumanji for<br />

his strong body and by now has collected two sculptures and one framed<br />

picture that also stays in this mandir. There is one lovely picture of<br />

Sathya Sai Baba with Lord Krishna in the background. Following is a<br />

picture of the mandir with all the deities described above:<br />
