Recently, I have read one of interesting article from leading newspaper about spiritual organizations are started FMCG companies & become very successful in India. They are critics & generalized all the spiritual organizations. If you want to become successful business man in india first become spiritual teacher. Add the followers with skillful presentations through TV, internet…etc open the business.
From Wikipedia, get the information About Patanjali (from Ramdev baba). They are doing business from last 7 years from 100 crores to become approx. 5000 crores In 2017 they are targeted revenues to become 10000 crores. Sri Sri Ayurveda (from art of leaving) following same suit. Stunning revenues in the public view from their business.
If we think deeply about spiritual + organization. It is one type of the organization about spirituality.
From Srila Prabhupad words(SB.1.2.5) There are two kinds of services, para and apara. In Sanskrit para means transcendental, and apara means material. Spiritual or material. Because we have two understandings, matter and spirit. Everything is material or spiritual, mundane or transcendental. So here Bhāgavata says, paro dharmaḥ. Paro dharmaḥ means spiritually.
If the organization does not cater core Spiritual or transcendental services like to publishing Vedic literature & educating & elevating people from lower to higher consciences above the material platform, then we cannot call it as real spiritual organizations.
In Bhakti tradition, whatever we can do make it spiritual by devotional process. food become prsadam by offering supreme personality of godhead Sree Krishna. Some activities might be seen as Philanthropic but mixed with devotion make the elevation of Spiritual or KRISHNA conciseness.
If you look good about corporate structure which is the more systematic planned manner. Spiritual organizations are required for propagating their missionary activities.
But if the corporate goal (Business) is making more & more profits. Irrespective of people around you. Enjoy material life with power, name & fame. Hurt the others without any care & concerned with the people.
If spiritual organization goal & intension is above then it should be condemned. They are not only deviating from core principal & mislead the other spiritual organizations & loss of respect from the society.
