Water, in SthapathyaVeda architecture, is represented by the circle,
so the restless nature of water is OK for a sports stadium, but would
be counterproductive for a meditation hall, diminishing the tendency
to settle down. So when MMY let them build meditation halls on the
MUM campus, he said OK to round bldgs (with a south entrance, to
boot!), in order to slow down the growth of enlightenment values in
the West (the domes now have eliminated the inauspicious south
entrance and a squaring vastu fence has been installed to mitigate
the effect of the round bldg, not that it matters much since the dome
numbers are low, so the total enlightenment effect remains about the
same).

If you don't know or understand the significance of what MMY said in
his 60s pamphlet "The Divine Plan," you cannot understand the
significance of all the deliberate and otherwise missteps (like the
inauspicious domes, and the price hikes, which significantly do not
apply to India) for the plan to enlighten the world.

MMY has now lit a few candles around the world, and the coming surge
of growth (or not -- MMY has said this might take "hundreds of
centuries") in the movement in India is really the only relevant
factor -- countries other than India could never be the base for a
revival of Vedic culture.
