Alfred Brush Ford, a great-grandson of Ford Motors’ founder Henry Ford is investing $35 million (nearly Rs. 189 crore) to spread Vedic Knowledge.
A follower of the International Society of Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), the Ford family scion has been overseeing the development of the $75-million Temple of The Vedic Planetarium at Mayapur in West Bengal for the last couple of years. 
“The temple (will be) like a gateway to the spiritual world,” Ford.

The Temple is expected to open in 2016.


With a capacity to accommodate 10,000 devotees, the 340 ft-tall temple will have a 75 ft-domed Planetarium. It will also house an Institute of Vedic Cosmology.
“We decided to build the temple in the existing premises at Mayapur” Ford said.
