Critical Appraisal of Asharamji Bapu Critical Appraisal of Asharamji Bapu | Page 52

Recently, an article in India Today Magazine alleged that Pujya
Bapuji has 10,000 crore worth of empire! Reality is that the
number of ashrams are 425, number of gurukuls – 50, number of
samitis – 1400, Number of Bal Sanskar kendras (Moral education
centers for children) 17000+. But none of these are Pujya
And, There is no
thing as 10,000
Crore Empire!
Bapuji's personal property as it is propagated by Paid Media.
People donate land and resources to Yoga Vedanta Seva Samiti (A
charitable organization of people that manages everything). And
people who donate do it on their own. Bapuji never asks anybody to
donate. People donate for the benefit of the society which is
eventually a benefit of their own.
That’s why Ashrams & Samitis have been established abroad also
at Matawan (USA), Toronto (Canada), New Jersey (USA), Dubai,
Singapore, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong,
Chile, Kenya, England, West Indies and many other cities and
countries etc.
