COSMO-PLANETARY MESSIAH STATUE
“The Statue represents the sect’s founder Gilbert Boudin, the Cosmoplanetary Messiah of Synthesis, the Great Master of the Order of the Knights of the Triumphant Vajra, the Master of the Selection of Souls and the Great Pontiff of the Cosmic Diamond Order, who claimed to be immortal. He died of heart disease in 1998 aged 74.”

“A controlled explosion toppled the 33-metre (110-foot) homage on 6 September 2001″
