So church did not learn corporate governance from businesses, but the other way around. </b>Hindu religious groups were never organized in a similar manner as they lacked similar ambitions. Even today most gurus and sampradayas shy away from professionalizing and corporatizing because they see this as un-spiritual in some sense. But many like Amritayananda, Swaminarayan, Brahmakumaris, etc. are running massive organized social service activities. Prof Ramdas Lamb of Hawaii has
activities with shudra hindus who are intense Ram bhaktas and dislike being called dalits or oppressed. They are poor but remain staunch Hindus. He needs funds which you could provide, along with helping hands.
