A Millennial Moment  (English, Hardcover, Vohra Bikram)

A reputed journalist in the Gulf for over thirty years, Bikram Vohra shadowed BAPS in the months following the month-long birth centenary celebrations of Pramukh Swami Maharaj in January 2023 in Gujarat. Driven by his curiosity as a non-spiritual outsider, he set out to uncover what it was about this organization that had compelled the UAE administration to accept their proposal to build a temple and ‘make sure it looks like a temple’. Spread across 27 acres and situated midway between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, this magnificent traditional stone temple was birthed in the prayers of a Hindu swami on a sand dune in 1997; it is now an oasis for global harmony. A prophetic vision come to life, the story of its inception is a captivating account of serendipity, noble intent and clarity of purpose combining to accomplish an impossible feat. Serious yet light-hearted, A Millennial Moment evokes warm laughter with its gentle leg-pulling, and hope for the future of our world. Its simple message: Good people do good things.
