Sri Swamiji gave the following instructions on 21.4.99:-
A visit or Darshan of this Pillar should be an multi media extravaganza. Pleasing arrangements of lights (illumination techniques) sound system arrangements, a pleasing background voice and cascading fountain arrangements should leave an indelible impression on a visitor. Sequence of events of the show: Two rows of chairs will be placed around the pillar. It will be occupied by those who pay a nominal donation. Those sitting on the road and other areas will witness this free of cost. The scheme of the audio arrangements will be The background voice will be that of the Dharma Stoopa For example it will say "I am Dharma Stoopa". I contain in me all that is ŠŠŠŠŠ. As the voice speaks on the four Maha vakyas, vedic chants can be heard in the background. As the voice speaks of the seven Sapta swaras and a mellifluous voice would sing those swaras. As the voice mentions about the musical instruments, we can hear the instruments play in the background. As the voice mentions about the various aspects of the pillar, the lighting follows the voice and illuminates the subject. The cascadial water falls will be following the voice and light in a subtle and unhindering manner. Yet pleasing and enjoyable. In the end the importance of the Guru Padukas will be explained and there will be a short yet grand finale of water cascades and falls.

The finishing touch will be the "Amrita Sinchana"or flow of nectar from Guru Paduka The second main aspect of this arrangement should be - the system (water and lighting arrangement) should also dance or play to the tune of any given audio cassette or compact disc.
