  • Ancient Secret of Enlightenment Sat-Chit-Anand Water Show
    GANDHINAGAR ANCIENT SECRET OF ENLIGHTENMENT SAT-CHIT-ANAND WATER SHOW We wonder what happens when fire flows like water and water flames like fire… When sound paint pictures and colors sing songs… When clouds come down and rains go up... When laser begin to crawl and rocks begin to melt... When the light from the past illuminates the stars of our future... When science and spirituality hold hands... Time stops the mind opens and heart prays... Amidst a mist of mysticism, the great Upanishads come alive... And the ancient secret is revealed! INTRODUCTION: The Sat-Chit-Anand Water Show is a new, enchanting addition to the Swaminarayan Akshardham complex in Gandhinagar, the capital city of Gujarat. ‘Sat’ means Truth, ‘Chit’ means Consciousness and ‘Anand’ means Bliss: Consciousness of the Ultimate Truth leads to the experience of Eternal Bliss. The show reveals this ancient secret of India through the gripping Upanishadic story of Nachiketa, a nine-year-old boy who bravely confronts Yamaraj, the god of death, and receives from him the knowledge of immortality and eternal happiness. It is the world’s first water show created to convey a spiritual message through a delighful fusion of lasers, lights, water, fire, sound, animation, video projection and live characters. THE STORY: The show begins with a mystical introduction to India's cultural and spiritual glory using colourful combinations of water, lasers and lights. The narrator then introduces the story of Nachiketa - a fearless and determined 9-year-old boy who has been an inspiration to the countless generations of children of India since ancient times.
