Gurfateh
SRIWAHEGURU jee::
First of thanks for taking the time out and writing about the figures involved.
To put the statement "How the heck did the Academy get into a financial mess" – should not be breath taking at all singh not at all especially when or if one knows what they are doing financially.
I'm no expert but just by looking at the figures you mention, it's crystal clear to take any financial undertaking one must have a concrete amount of income coming in the first place.
No one here on this thread so far is throwing ego as an accountant , laywer, doctor or anything, as being a member of that sadsangat and a contributor to the academy at present it is my right as
Any other member of the sadsangat to be aware of what happened, what led to a crisis? It doesn't require a lecture in sikh history, just a simple statement of in coming income and outgoings.
As I said before I want to contribute more, but need to be sure that the future has some kind of answers to, questions such as:
the loan can it be negotiated with another bank?, what incomes sources are we to rely on for the future? What other ways can issues such as this be prevented?
I hate to be repetitive here and also agree with what Pyara jee has mentioned .
It's clear the youth haven't been given the opportunity in the Guru Ghars , and a generation has been lost, and the academy is filling the gap, and I wish for it to continue in chardi kala.
The kirpa you talk about is on everyone regardless of who they are, but this isn't about kirpa this just about a simple maths gone wrong somewhere.
