Mind Body Spirit Exhibition
24 – 27 May 2024
OLYMPIA London
Sai 9 Healing’s journey to the Mind Body Spirit exhibition began six months ago, when Ravi ji announced in our group meditation session that Baba had guided her to showcase His message and teachings to a wider audience. It was a completely new event for Ravi ji and she has worked diligently over the past few months to bring to life her vision.
Designing the stand
The first step was to begin researching the event and how we could design our stand. What did we want to present to the visitors, as this is the first time Shirdi Sai Baba’s life, leela’s and message would be showcased at a wellbeing festival. Many hours were spent researching images, designs, drafting the flyers and banners. Ravi ji organised many Teams calls, along with her already packed calendar to ensure all tasks were completed on time!
Waiting for Shri Sai Satcharita books from Shirdi
Ravi ji had the vision to gift visitors with a Sai 9 Healing bag, containing a copy of the Shri Sai Satcharita book. The challenge was where to purchase a large volume of Baba’s books. Half of the books were bought from Shirdi Sai Baba’s temple in East Ham. Lots of volunteers contributed to buying the books and packing them along with the leaflets and pens into the gift bags.
Rest of the books were ordered from Shirdi though a supplier based in Essex. The initial date given to receive the books from Shirdi was in the middle of April. However, there was a hold up with the shipping container at the City of London port and the books were not being released. All were anxious whether the books will arrive on time and prayed to Baba. With Baba’s blessings and grace, the books were released from the port and delivered to the Sai 9 Healing centre exactly one week before the exhibition started. This was definitely a test of faith and patience!
Setting up the stand
The Mind Body Spirit Exhibition is here!
With feelings of both excitement and nervousness, Ravi ji and the volunteers reached the Olympia at 9.00 a.m. on Friday 24th May 2024. People started to trickle in as soon as the doors opened at 10 a.m. The Sai 9 Healing stall was excellently positioned at the front of the venue.
There was an overwhelmingly positive response from visitors. So many of Baba’s devotees visited the Sai 9 Healing stand. It was such a pleasure to connect with people and share their experiences with Baba, and how Baba is a part of their lives.
Ravi ji offered 15 minutes of free guidance, and also Reiki healing sessions with guidance. She was completely booked for all four days. Ravi ji is an extremely gifted healer who has so much energy and compassion to serve people who were going through challenges in their lives. People immediately felt better after receiving healing and talking to Ravi ji.
The Sai 9 Healing stand also attracted a lot of visitors who did not know of Baba. People stood in front of the banner, reading the words and absorbing the energy from the Dwarakamai picture. Many people were searching for guidance, answers and direction in life. A lot of people are lost, lonely and seeking connections.
When volunteers gave the Shri Sai Satcharita book to people, they were so touched to receive it. Some held the book and could immediately feel the positive vibrations from it. Some started reading it right away! How fortunate are we, to be able to share Baba’s book and reach a wider audience at the Mind Body Spirit exhibition!
This was a successful, uplifting, positive, purposeful event, where Sai 9 Healing connected to a larger audience from a wide range of backgrounds.
Baba blessed the exhibition and the Sai 9 Healing stand was such a magnificent success. Everyone involved really enjoyed themselves. Baba’s vision for Sai 9 Healing is beyond our wildest imaginations, and we are in awe of how He has guided and inspired us on this wonderful journey.
Many thanks and credit to Ravi ji, Sai’s healing angel, whose commitment, hard work and perseverance, despite the challenges, has brought healing, guidance and Baba’s tools, to a wider audience. We look forward to next year’s Mind Body Spirit event, and we hope to see you there!
