I don’t hate Jaggi Baba but I don’t like either - his institutes are not for non profit isn’t it?? He charges money as part of his teachings - where does he spending all that and has he ever announced how much he collected spent and reserves - in that aspect I respect Puttaparthi Baba

How he is generating money for his free services to poor ? In cities amidst celebrities, among rich crowds and affordable populations he charges according to the demand; In turn brings that money and spend in poor neighborhoods of his discretion. For the same products(like a tour to manassarovar for rich clients of US or other affluent corners of map, or different products of his expertise) he sells differently to different crowds, all the way to no charge in poorest neighborhoods. 

In profit oriented business -This is how we do? lets see programming categories of air tickets- different rates to different crowds(same product- almost, same plane, same destination different rates- for one we charge $1200 from a business person, next seat passenger might be getting for $125 from a last minute cheap deal from a different source, so many varieties in between also).  Similar thing he is doing in non-profit service, but with that money he charges on affordable customer, he is doing his service to poor. Not a bad concept.

(Usually I try not to rush to judgement, in case of Jaggi, previously used to have similar perception like yours if not same,  DVS bro..... In hindsight, after listening to his concept & method, in detail, I  stand corrected.  See nothing is free in this world, some one has to pay, even in non-profit model)

Though his teachings are good to some extent, I also feel that he is playing with peoples mind and maybe another smart guy cashing in the name enlightment. If he is really a true enlightened one, he would not go after money and moreover 90% of his teachings are to rich audience around the world.

Me and my friends have started participating in their 'Isha Vidhya' program. Its very transparent in my opinion. I could meetup and talk to the kid I'm sponsoring and get to know their progress on a regular basis. I haven't come across any with half the transparency they have. My 2 cents. I'm in no way affiliated to their organization though, just help what I can through my trusted friend who is quite active in their philanthropic activities.

That's probably seems a stretch bro- the audience %( unless you have numbers),  but  more resources come from rich than poor for his Isha foundation services to poor, as per them....Not unusual, makes sense....As a rule of thumb - Profit or non-profit models, generally people with money (to what ever extent they can afford) only will be the source to provide profits(profit model) or to generate resources(for non-profit services). Think about that '        '.  No money generation means obviously there is no profit oriented business- can not survive, as unusual as it may seem on the outset, same true for non-profit services- that org. can not exist.

Money generation & corruption - two separate things. But without facts(as far as we see outside) & proving him foul or guilty, we cant throw mud, tend to tilt more in Cbn's way on this....... Two cents...

@Sr Fan - bro I am not criticizing - but just I put down there my perception which might be wrong. But at least share some incidents where he served the poor. I should admit my ignorance ... by looking at the look and feel of the audiences in his programs ... I “may”/should learn that not all of them were charged - but due to lack of that insight information I might have developed a negative opinion.

DVS bro, as mentioned to you, my paradigm was a bit closer to yours some time back,  but observed a bit in length including River linking and other constructive  derivatives flowing from him;  Perspective changed from skepticicm to bit positive. That's all...I hear you, nothing wrong to have Qs,  see from  his explanations regarding that issue, plenty out there, may clear some of yours.

I am very sure that he is a good man and may be doing good through Isha vidya, plantation and other programs. My only claim is that a person can't be both spiritually enlightened and running after money (even if it is meant to be serving) at the same time. Maybe if it is possible I do not know.
