2. The entrance which Mother said should be from the west. This is exactly as it is in the plan today.

3.The lake around the Matrimandir. This seems to me to correspond almost exactly to the area of the bund which we all have agreed to remove for the beginning of the lake.

  
4.The circular areas represents areas of tall trees that Mother wished to have and would correspond to the parts of the "outer" gardens that are now under planting.

Do let me know your further thoughts on this. Those who feel the mountain in the south-east had very good reasons. They feel that since that is the highest point, some 3/4 meters above the south-western side, it is the natural site for the mountain. Secondly, if a water storage area is to be build within the mountain, the extra elevation would provide that much more gravity feed. They are good reasons but I feel not sufficiently strong enough to counter the importance of the impression of first seeing the Matrimandir without anything to distract the eye.

Look forward to your reply.
