An urn containing his ashes was on display and and 83 doves, one for each year Dadaji lived, were released after a brief ceremony outside the Flint Center.

According to one of the organizer’s of Saturday’s event, there are millions of Dadji’s followers in 33 different countries. Talawalker,who lives in Bombay, is travelling with her father’s ashes to cities around the world where there he has large numbers of followers so that disciples can memorialize Dadaji in “A Tribute to A Great World Humanitarian” . Dadaji, who was the winner of the Templeton Prize for the Progress in Religion in 1997, taught that God is within all people and that devotion is not just internalized but should be accompanied by work for social good and selfless action. His philosophy asks people to recognize the inner presence of God, which he said leads to a sense of self esteem as well as an awareness of the divine presence within all persons. Devotees from the greater Bay Area, California and other western states attended Saturday’s event.
