P. L. Sethi: The temple work was to start. This is sea area. Every building has piling. Piling goes thirty feet to thirty-five feet below the ground. So I said to Guruji, “We must put piling in this land to build the temple.” Guruji suddenly said, “No piling is required in our land.” After that we called the soil specialist who tested the soil and they also reported that piling is required. Then we called another engineer who also said piling is required. He also discussed with Guruji. But Guruji said, “No. Piling is not required in our land.” So Guruji said, “You can test the soil by using a boring machine.” So I called one boring wala. When the boring went five feet, the boring tool could not be pulled out. So then Guruji said, “You dig the land.” And we dug the land, and could see the sand and the stone melted up with very hard stone. Then I called that soil-testing engineer who said, “You can build an eight-story building here, no fear, no dangers.”
