Mukta in Robbinsville

The mahāshikhar standing strong against the sky — the golden kalash catching the light, the dhaja lifting in the wind, the white stone rising into a sky full of weather. When I look at it I think of what Aksharatit Swami described in the Gunatit Satra 2025 — the dhajas going "fut, fut, fut" in the silence of the wind — and I imagine this one doing it for the very first time, snapping to life over a brand-new shikhar. This design holds 2023 for me: the amazing inauguration of Akshardham, and the three months Swami spent here, walking these grounds and filling them with his presence. To see the shikhar now is to remember that he was here — and that some part of him always will be.
