Chaitanya Jyoti Museum
Chaitanya Jyoti Museum is a bold and beautiful endeavour to facilitate our awareness of the Divine – the Light of Consciousness within.
Rising from the rocky hillside it stuns the devotee with its grandeur and originality. Bhagavan paid the building a fitting tribute when He saw the first plans, asking if it was possible to build it; He then stated that “It will be the wonder of the 21st Century”.
Captivated by its splendour, devotees flock in ever increasing numbers. By 2007 over 2 million visitors had passed through its hallowed portals according to the curator Col Bose over 5 million have now passed through.( 29 May 2014

The building incorporates architectural styles from all over the world and thus embodies in its very design Swami’s teaching on the Unity of Humanity. There are Roman arches, Gothic windows, a Singapore designed fish pool, Moorish domes, Japanese roofing (for the lift shaft), a Greek inclusion on the roof and Indian religious figures.

Of course the majority of the influence is from China. Witness the unforgettable roof, the largest outside China. It is laid with ceramic tiles glazed using traditional methods.
