While workmen are busy finishing the pandal, Prabhupada leads the Mayapur organizers out into the field behind the pandal. He paces off the four corners of a huge, four-story residence-guesthouse, the first building he wants to erect here. He instructs devotees to pile clods of dirt to mark each corner. Then Prabhupada shows them where to dig a pit, about fifteen feet deep and five feet square just outside the pandal entrance. This is where he will lay the cornerstone…Each morning, Prabhupada walks around the property, pointing to adjacent fields and saying stuff like, “The temple should go here — bigger than Westminster Abbey or St. Paul’s in London,” or “Apartments for five hundred men should go over there,” or “Here you should dig a big lake.” He’s expanding on his dream for Mayapur…[Mayapur didn’t look like much then, but from these humble beginnings a mighty temple grew. Now, forty-six years later, I have lived to see a million pilgrims a year flock to ISKCON’s Mayapur complex, spread out over seven hundred acres, and as we speak, the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium rises 370 feet over all — and, yes, it’s higher than St. Paul’s.]
