Dear Prabhu, with all due respect to your gracious self, kindly read below the desire of our Spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada who wanted to construct a temple. Whatever at ISKCON Bangalore we do, is only inline with the desire of our only Spiritual master.
Now immediately we have got a very big project to construct a temple at Mayapur, the birth site of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. So you can contribute the sums for our Mayapur construction scheme. Sannyasis should not be given any money. They should manage themselves and maintain themselves by taking small alms from different persons -- not a lump sum from one person.
>>> Ref. VedaBase => Letter to: Atreya Rsi -- London 13 August, 1971
Prabhupada: Sixty thousand per day. Actually. But we are all foregoing it for pushing on this movement, and if we bring that money and construct big, big temple or planetarium, what is the harm to India?

If a businessman is in possession of thousands and thousands of dollars, and if he has to offer all this to Krsna, he can do it. This is work for Krsna. Instead of constructing a big building for his sense gratification, he can construct a nice temple for Krsna, and he can install the Deity of Krsna and arrange for the Deity's service, as is outlined in the authorized books of devotional service. This is all krsna-karma.

Prabhupada: Yes. Everything I do is(?) fighting. Out of (indistinct), fighting, survival and construct such a big temple is a great triumph.

And as soon as you desire to construct a big temple for Krsna, that is spiritual.

Better you try to construct a very nice temple for Krsna's situation. That is proper use.

It is nice, but I think there would be a much better use of money for preaching and not for a theme park.
