Can someone explain to me how the Brahma Kumaris in the USA (BKWSO) works financially?
According to public records, e.g. "BK Mohini Panjabi B/P" is a private business out of a BK center. It's address is "46 S MIDDLE NECK RD GREAT NECK, NY 11021, T: (516) 773-0971 which is, of course, Global Harmony House, National Coordinating Office for the BKWSU in the USA.
Since 2006, it reports an consistent "Annual Revenue of $55,000" and an "Employee Count of 1". That one being BK BK Mohini Panjabi herself. Presumably it is her pay or expense fund?
Mohini Panjabi B/P is listed under "Amusement/Recreation Services".
According to the BKWSO articles Article 4(h),
I don't have recent accounts but the 1999 Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax ($6,105,364 assets, $3,553,601 income, $1,008,359 expenses) stated it paid no wages. At June 2001 IRS ruling date, no financial report were made and total assets reported were $0 and total revenues reported were $0, so I don't know how they have changed their financial accounting. Any ideas?
There are no links from their website. I suppose openness and transparency would be too much to ask from our angelic little friends?
From the most recent filings, there seems to have been a name change to "Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual Organization, Inc" (Business ID: 1009384) around 2010, as a branch of a Texas company 3417285 (presumably Hansa Raval's BKWSO - Texas Tax Number 17419461904?) and they operate;
