Rajeshji, Math hasn't had any financial difficulties so far. Up until 90s, it had royal patronage and protection of Nepal kingdom, which had supported Math financially too. But now that is gone, and Math has to face this organized opposition on its own. Although even now, Math has a lot of endowment properties.
Since Yogi has become the de facto Mahant (and MP), he is trying his best to establish a Gujarat-like model in Gorakhpur, for Math and for people. Like in early Gujarat, he is trying out mass-based co-operative schemes based upon milk economy. This serves his Go-raksha progarm as well. I am not sure how successful he has been in this. But in last 10 years, Purvanchal has seen an increase in Goshalas. Then like Gujarat, this region has a substancial diaspora abroad, in SE Asia, Mauritius, Fiji, Trinidad etc (Naipaul traces his ancestry from the region). Yogi is trying to utilize diaspora for Math and region too. But unlike Gujarat diaspora, Purvanchal diaspora is neither so committed nor so wealthy. But, overall, as Yogi says, Gujarat and Modi are his models.
Math does run various schools and colleges under the name of Maharana Pratap schools. But scale or quality are not like missionary schools or Swaminarayan schools.
