That's completely at odds with the description Vaj provided, I think.

Not really, Spair. the buildings were few, not a big complex. However things can be decorated to look nice, festive and make one comfortable. Again, the buildings are the key and they were not expensive to build in India. Remember labor and materials are and were dirt cheap in India, especially in the sixties. I can only picture a few, maybe a half dozen bungalows at best and one larger two story building with maybe about 8 double rooms and one similar that was under construction but never finished. There was also a meeting hall and some meditation "caves" built below ground level. I don't think the place was ever designed  to hold much more than about 50 course participants at one time.
