. Paolo works ceaselessly from that moment until July, 2002, on a concept of the
entire Peace Area that can integrate harmoniously both the strong architectural
features designed by Roger A and already executed of the Matrimandir and the
Petals, within the expanse of natural beauty, treated in the Japanese way, which
the Mother has wanted and described at length.
. Paolo’s completed study is presented to the community from August 15, 2002
onwards and to the Governing Board on September 21, 2002.
It includes detailed drawings and perspectives of each Inner Garden and reflects
accurately the existing situation on the ground, with the adult trees that have been
part of the Inner and Outer Gardens all these years.
Along with this study, a total detailed estimate is also presented.
A preliminary assessment of the best methods for constructing, waterproofing and
lining the water body has been received from the German Institute of LGA,
Nuremberg, the laboratories of which have analysed samples of the soil here.
Directly related to the feasibility of the proposed lake, preliminary reports of the
practicality and feasibility of a desalination plant, as a pilot project for the entire
area, has also been received and more detailed information is underway.

Declaration of Intent.
Numerous conflicts have arisen in relation to the birth, construction and completion
of the Matrimandir.
Throughout these conflicts, the guiding and saving grace has always and every time
been the will to serve the manifestation of Her stated wishes.
For instance:
. Roger A had not wanted the columns to be erected in the Inner Room; yet the
Matrimandir Workers chose to erect them, simply because the Mother had seen
them.
. Many people did not want Roger A’s design of the discs and petals. Yet the
Matrimandir Workers eventually chose to build and construct them as it seemed to
be a fact that the Mother had blessed a brochure representing them and as it was
certain that She had also named the 12 Petals.
. Now Roger A refuses to work for the realisation of the Matrimandir Gardens and
Park as per the Mother’s recorded description, nor does he even accept to let others
do it who might complement his own contribution as an architect.
Rather, he seeks to impose on the whole area an urban concept that has no relation
to the Mother’s initiating vision of it.
But now the situation has evolved to the point when we actually have, for the first
time, a clear and detailed plan, ready for execution.
This plan has been elaborated by Paolo, to whom the Mother had directly spoken,
as recorded in the Agenda.
The work can begin at once and, in our view, must begin at once, for several
important reasons.
