You simply serve Madhava nicely and everything will come. You don't have to worry about money
Jananivas das: Bhavananda prabhu said, "Srila Prabhupada, we are sitting in the middle of these rice fields. I'm from New York, Surabhi the architect is from Amsterdam. We're all from the cities. Jayapataka is from, We're all from big cities, and we're sitting in the middle of these rice fields and you're asking us to build a big temple and a city. How we can do this, Prabhupada?" And he said, "Prabhupada, where will all the money come from?" Bhavananda is always thinking, "Where will the money come from?" He said, "Actually here you have Radha-Madhava." He said, "Madhava means the husband of the Goddess of Fortune. You simply serve Madhava nicely and everything will come. You don't have to worry about money." "But Prabhupada, we don't know where to start even." They had the design for the Lotus Building, then where to put it. We were really bewildered, standing in the middle of rice fields. Prabhupada, he didn't procrastinate as we say. So Prabhupada said, "Come with me." We had three acres of land at that time, one strip of land from the road. So Prabhupada, he put a clod of earth down and then he just paced so far down, then he put another clod of earth. Then he just turned and he paced the other way, put another clod of earth, paced up the other end. So he put four clods of earth and he said, "Build it here." That was it.
