The account preserves precious historical moments and offers a glimpse into the loving service, dedication, and spiritual enthusiasm that made the installation ceremony so memorable.
 
The book also connects with the story presented in The Advent of Panca Tattva, continuing from the arrival of the Deities in Mayapur and documenting the eighteen days leading to Their magnificent first darshan.
