A place to go pray and meditate and where miracles attributed to the good graces of Marshy? A sure fire draw for American, Canadian and Europeans with more money than sense - not to mention the gullible Indians who wanna go too.

Along with him, Dr Eike Hartmann from the Institute of Vedic City Planning, Maharishi University of Management ment , Holland, has also put in tireless efforts in building the memorial, said Dr Girish Chandra Varma. The memorial has been built at a cost of Rs 40 crore. The Maharishi Smarak will be a place of pilgrimage, the source of knowledge and inspiration for future generations and along with Shankaracharya Swami Vasudevanand Saraswati of Badrikashram, Himalaya, many other seers will attend the function, said Harris. Along with them, Dr Tony Nadar, known as Maharaja Nader Raam, the first sovereign ruler of Maharishi's global country of world peace, and around 20 other Rajas, each for different fields and in charge of different countries and eight ministers of the Global Country of World Peace, will attend the function, he added. The outer diameter of the structure spans for 108 feet by 108 feet while the height is 81 metres. The top of the structure would have 1008 Kalash, all having gold plating. The smarak will be directly connected to the main road running besides the Ganga while the main entrance will have gopurams (gateways) from three directions. The road to the memorial will have 12 mandaps. Each of these mandap would depict 12 areas of teaching taught by Maharishi. The entire structure has been made from stone, wood and copper clamps. The interiors have been furnished by marble. TOI visited the memorial and saw that it's nearing completion; mansions have beautifully carved, the pillars made of marble and the dome has beautiful carvings. The surroundings of the memorial are being decked up for the big occasion. Although Harris did not confirm if celebrities like award-winning filmmaker and musician David Lynch would be attending the Maha Kumbh, sources said they could come on the occasion. It is not about any western (or eastern) celebrity coming to Kumbh, it is that a Smarak of total vedic knowledge is being inaugurated, inspired by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in the holy tradition line of Sri Shankara. For over 50 years the Maharishi propagated the actual experience and understanding of the Vedas, of total knowledge, of atma and the self to millions of people, Harris said. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/allahabad/Yogis-memorial-to-open

Giving details, Raja Harris Kaplan, in charge of India for the global country of world peace, and Dr Girish Chandra Varma told TOI that the Smarak would be unveiled on February 15, i.e, Basant Panchmi. The architect of the Samadhi is M/S Chhaganlal Rewashankar Sompura of Gujarat, presently headed by Nipam Sompura, whose family has designed many temples and buildings.

Doubting that the structure is 108x108 feet I suspect the journalist must somehow have gotten mixed feet and meters here :-) I don't know, 40 crore is about $9,000,000 apparently, that's a lot of money for a building in India. Would like to see some pics.
