Overview
Mission
This corporation is organized exclusively for charitable purposes as specified in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, including for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code. The purpose of this corporation is to archive and disseminate modern vedic teachings, especially those of Swami Bhakti Bedant Narayan.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025 we have completed 36 Hindi and English transcripts and when all the transcripts are finished, they will serve as an online folio. We have embedded lyrics on 80+ videos and we continued the archiving process in addition to launching daily inspiration quotes and short videos.. The WhatsApp group has grown to over 5000 members and the YouTube Channel has over 40,000 subscribers. Currently 7,500 files are ready and 2200 of these have been launched on the website.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
