The American temples claim church status and file no public 990. The sect’s Canadian arm files a full return, and about half of everything it takes in leaves for India.

The sect runs temples across the United States and a parent trust in India. Neither files anything a member of the public can read. The same network’s arms in Canada and the United Kingdom file in full, and their public returns show where the money goes: out of the country, to India. The disclosure lives at the edges. The core, in America and in India, stays dark.
CONFIRMEDThe disclosing arms file public returns while the American and Indian core do not: the Canadian society’s CRA T3010 and the UK arm’s filing are open, the US temple entity claims church status and files no 990, and the Indian parent discloses nothing.
About C$1 million a year leaves Canada for India. That is close to half of everything the charity takes in. It leaves on a public return: the Radha Madhav Society of Canada files a full T3010 with the Canada Revenue Agency, business number 794161885RR0001. The return shows about C$2 million in revenue and about C$9 million in assets. Roughly half of what comes in each year is spent outside Canada, in India.
CONFIRMEDPrimary document: the Radha Madhav Society of Canada T3010 filed with the Canada Revenue Agency, business number 794161885RR0001, reporting about C$2 million in revenue, about C$9 million in assets, and roughly half of annual spending outside Canada in India.
The American temples claim church status. A church files no public Form 990. The Indian parent is a private family trust and files nothing. No foreign-contribution license is on record. From inside the United States, the money is invisible by construction.
The money still lands. It reaches four American entities, and not one of them opens its books.
CONFIRMEDThe ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer record for JKP Radha Madhav Dham (EIN 74-2673063) shows no public Form 990, consistent with the church-status exemption; the other three EINs (JKP Foundation 26-1492760, Radha Krishna Dham 88-4405508, RGDLA 46-3063114) carry no public return, and the Indian parent trust files nothing.
The money arrives through donor-advised funds. At least ten of them route gifts into the four entities: PayPal Giving Fund, Fidelity Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, Network for Good, Morgan Stanley GIFT, and others. A donor-advised fund records the sponsor as the grantor of record. The person who put up the money is not named. Per-grant amounts are not on the public record. The relationship is what the record carries: fund to entity, giver unnamed. Morgan Stanley GIFT reaches the Los Angeles temple.
INFERENCERead from donor-advised fund grant records that name PayPal Giving Fund, Fidelity Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, Network for Good, and Morgan Stanley GIFT as grantors of record into the four recipient entities; the sponsor is named but the original donor and the per-grant amounts are not on the public record.
The United Kingdom arm discloses too. The charity, Charity Commission number 327921, reports FY2025 income of £1,024,466, about £1 million, funding “hospitals and schools especially in India.”
The disclosure is node-specific. Where a national arm files a public return, the return shows money leaving for India. Where an arm claims church status or skips registration, nothing shows. New Zealand’s branch is a local temple and sends nothing overseas. Australia’s branch is not a registered charity. No public return shows the Los Angeles temple’s own money crossing to India, and that question stays open.
CONFIRMEDThe UK arm’s own filing (Charity Commission number 327921) reports FY2025 income of £1,024,466 funding hospitals and schools especially in India; New Zealand’s local temple and Australia’s unregistered branch show no overseas outflow on any public return, and the Los Angeles temple’s own India transfers remain unshown.
The entities are not faceless at the top. The JKP Foundation lists Peter Spiegel as president. The Los Angeles temple lists Spiegel and Williams as its officers. Two directors of the Canadian society, the one arm that files in full, also sit on the board of the American Radha Madhav Society in Duluth, Georgia, a diaspora body that shares no officer with the Spiegel temples. The names are on the paper. The dollars are not.
CONFIRMEDSpiegel’s and Williams’s officer roles at JKP and at the temple are documented in the Austin American-Statesman reporting on secretary-of-state records; the two shared directors are read across the Canadian society’s T3010 and the US entities’ state corporate filings.
One person connects the open books to the dark ones. Sushree Siddheshvari Devi, a preacher, founded the disclosing charities in the United States and in Canada. She is a listed preacher on the website of the Spiegel-Williams Los Angeles temple. The finances stay behind the wall. The pulpit does not.
The money boards are walled. The clergy is shared.
The books that open are abroad. They show about half of the Canadian intake leaving for India every year, and a charity that funds hospitals and schools especially in India. The American temples that share that preacher file nothing at all.
INFERENCEThe bridge is drawn across sources: Sushree Siddheshvari Devi is named as founder on the US Radha Madhav Society, a branch of Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat, and on the Canadian society, and she appears as a listed preacher on the Los Angeles temple’s website, tying the disclosing charities to the church-dark US temples.
In fairness. Filing no Form 990 is lawful for an entity that claims church status. Donor-advised funds are a standard charitable vehicle used across American philanthropy. The United Kingdom arm describes its India spending as funding hospitals and schools. No public return shows the Los Angeles temple’s own money crossing to India, and that question stays open.
