So Prabhupada answered, "Just as you're thinking, 'they shouldn't bow down,' they're thinking that 'you should bow down.'" Prabhupada said, "This is a democracy is it not? The majority is bowing down." Prabhupada was always perfect like that. Mr. P.L. Sethi "Prabhupada the expert engineer": This area where the temple was to be built is sea area. Every building has pilings which are 35-40 feet below the ground. So I said to Guruji that we must have pilings in this land to build the temple. But Guruji suddenly said, "No pilings are required on our land." After that we called the soil specialists who tested the soil and they also reported that the piling is required. And we also called another engineer who also said that pilings are required. He also discussed it with Guruji. But Guruji said, "No! Pilings are not required on our land." So Guruji said, "You can test the soil by boring machine." So I called one boring walla. Then the boring went five feet. They couldn't pull out the boring tool. Then Guruji said, "You dig the land." And we dug the land and we saw the sand and the stone combined to a very hard stone. Then I called that soil testing engineer and he said, "You could build an 8 story building here. No fear. No danger."  Comment on this storyContact VNN about this storySend this story to a friend
