Perhaps someone can explain what is going on here ...
I am looking at the BKWSU UK 'published' accounts for year ending Dec 2013.
With an income of £1,571,997, the BKs spent £2,549,392 on "Income generation and governance" ... and a grand total of £0 [zero] on "Charitable spending". See also, here (download).
Remember, this is a charity established to "relieve poverty" sitting on £15,196,162 worth of freehold properties and keeping £3,150,426 worth of leasehold properties ... and £1,142,262 worth of furniture ... for which it claims £7,940,914 worth of "depreciation" in a single year.
I thought property in the UK went up in value 10% a year?
Yes, the Kirpalani Klan sure relieved their own poverty. I am not so sure about anyone else's. Nor do they promote Hinduism.
Sister Jayanti and other leaders continue to survive magically on no wages ... and, for some unknown reason, the BKWSU UK continues to pay for food at Mount Abu, although we don't know how much. Perhaps to the tune of £500,000 per year.
The World Renewal Spiritual Trust is, of course, BKWSU (India).
8,426 people are said to have done the Raja Yoga course. They bought a new big building in Leicester.
The UK government handed them £95,616 in tax refunds, on top of a £137,912 they reaped from investments.

Working in collaboration with The World Renewal Spiritual Trust, BKWSU (UK) funded the preparation and supply of food prepared in a spiritual atmosphere and awareness and offered to God. This food was served to up to 20,000 pilgrims and visitors three times a day during 2013.
The trustees were personally involved in monitoring these projects at all levels, including planning, monitoring, and completion. They also visited the sights on several occasions to work closely with the nustees and volunteers of The World Renewal Spiritual Trust.
