Fundraising in 2023
The Trustees are aware of their responsibility and accountability to ensure the charity fundraises legally, responsibly and effectively. We do not use professional fundraisers or commercial agencies to fundraise and rely on volunteers. We are very grateful to the support of volunteers who participate by helping with cooking, classes, book distribution, organising festivals and dramas, supporting our educational events. We thank all our volunteers for their time, expertise and commitment which helps us raise awareness of the charity and maintain high standards of service
2024 Goal
- Book Tables : To have monthly book tables throughout the year to distribute literature to propagate spiritual knowledge about Krishna as revealed in the great literatures of India such as the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam
2025 Goal
- Property Investment : To purchase a property which would be used as a preaching centre and place where devotees can live together. It would also be a sanctuary for visiting guests and devotees. This would provide facilities to help cultivate and introduce people to the vedic way of life, philosophy, culture and practices.
Charity Objectives
The objectives of the charity are to advance, transmit, spread and propagate the religion of Krishna Consciousness as revealed in the teachings of Bhagavad Gita As It Is and Srimad Bhagavatam as taught by the Founder - Acarya A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and in accordance with the tenets of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
Atma Lounge is guided by the seven purposes that our Founder-Acarya, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, established when ISKCON was inaugurated. These purposes stand as our objectives for the charity.
The seven purposes of ISKCON are as follows:
-
To systematically propagate spiritual knowledge to society at large and to educate all people in the techniques of spiritual life in order to check the imbalance of values in life and to achieve real unity and peace in the world.
-
To propagate a consciousness of Krishna (God), as it is revealed in the great scriptures of India, Bhagavad Gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam.
-
To bring the members of the Society together with each other and nearer to Krishna, the prime entity, thus developing the idea within the members, and humanity at large, that each soul is part and parcel of the quality of Godhead (Krishna).
-
To teach and encourage the sankirtana movement, congregational chanting of the holy name of God, as revealed in the teachings of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
-
To erect for the members and for society at large a holy place of transcendental pastimes dedicated to the personality of Krishna.
-
To bring the members closer together for the purpose of teaching a simpler, more natural way of life.
-
With a view towards achieving the aforementioned purposes, to publish and distribute periodicals, magazines, books and other writings.
In order to achieve the above objectives we use the following strategies:
-
Publication and distribution of literature
-
Promotion through other media
-
Public services, festivals, retreats and pilgrimages – which promote spiritual culture
-
Kirtan (congregational chanting of the names of the Supreme Being)
-
The distribution and promotion of sanctified vegetarian food (prasadam)
-
Education in doctrines, training in religious practice: pastoral care
-
Encouraging positive life principles and social engagement through volunteering

Flnanelal Instruments Classljlcatlon Financial &ssets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contr&iual provisions of th¢ in5trurneni. Financial liabilities and equity instrnments are classified a¢¢ording io the substance of the contracts1 rngements entered into. An equity instnment is any contract that evidence5 a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
ATMA Lounge Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 Recognlilon and measuremen¢ All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is nornially the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity. despite having retained some, but not all. significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party. Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contrdct is discharged, cancelled or expires. Page 8
ATMA Lounge Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 Debi Insiruments Debt instruments which meet the following conditions are subsequently me&sured at amortised cost using the effective interest method: (a) The contractual return to the holder is (i) a fixed arnount. (li) a positive fixed rnte or a positive variable rate; or (iii) a combination of a positive or a negative fixed rnte and a positive variable rate. (b) The contract may provide for repayments of the principal or the return to the holder (but not both) to be linked to a single relevant observable index of general price inflation of the currency in which the debt instrument is denominated, provided such links are not leveraged. (c) The contract may provide for a detenninable variation of the return to the holder during the life of the instrument, provided that (i) the new rate satisfies condition (a) and the variation is not contingent on future events other than ( l ) a change of a contractual variable rate; (2) to protect the holder against credit deterioration of the issuer. (3) changes in l¢vies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant tsxation or law; or (li) the new rate is a market rate of interesi and satisfies condition (a). (d) There is no contractual provision that could, by its ternis, result in the holder losing the principal amount or any interest attributable to the current period or prior periods. (e) Contractual provisions that permit the issuer to prepay a debt instnllnent or pennit the holder to put it back to th¢ issuer before maturity are not contingent on future events. other than to protect the holder against the credit deterioration of the issuer or a change in control of the issuer, or to proteci the holder or issuer against changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law. (fj Contractual provisions may perniit the extension of the term of the debt instrument, provided that the return to the holder and any other contractual provisions applicable during the extended terni satisfy the conditions of paragraphs (a) to (c). Debi instruments that are classified as payable or receivable within one year on initial recognition and which meet the above conditions are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, net of impairnient. With the exception of some hedging instruments, other debt instruments not meeting these conditions are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Commitments to make and receive loans which meet the conditions mentioned above are measured at cost (which may be nil) less impainnent. Inve51ments Investments in non-convertible pref¢r¢nce shares and non-puttable ordinary or preference shares (where shares are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurable) are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairment. Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less impairnent. For investments in subsidiaries acquired for consideration including the issue of shares qualifying for merger relief, cost is measured by reference to the nominal value of the shares issued plus fair value of other consideration. Any premium is ignored. Page 9
ATMA Lounge Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 Derlvarfvejlnanclal ins¢ruments The charity uses derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk and interest rate movements. The charity does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in statement of financial activities immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrumenL in which event the timing of the recognition in ststement of financial activities depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. Falr value measuremeni The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are unavailable. the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not b¢¢n a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique. 3 Income from donations and legacies Unrestrieted funds General Total funds Donations and legacies; Donations from individuals 75,133 75,133 Total for 2023 75,133 75,133 4 Expenditure on raising funds a) Investment management costs Unrestricted funds General Total funds Note Allocated support costs 945 945 Total for 2023 945 945 Page 10

Flnanelal Instruments Classljlcatlon Financial &ssets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contr&iual provisions of th¢ in5trurneni. Financial liabilities and equity instrnments are classified a¢¢ording io the substance of the contracts1 rngements entered into. An equity instnment is any contract that evidence5 a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
ATMA Lounge Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 Recognlilon and measuremen¢ All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is nornially the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity. despite having retained some, but not all. significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party. Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contrdct is discharged, cancelled or expires. Page 8
ATMA Lounge Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 Debi Insiruments Debt instruments which meet the following conditions are subsequently me&sured at amortised cost using the effective interest method: (a) The contractual return to the holder is (i) a fixed arnount. (li) a positive fixed rnte or a positive variable rate; or (iii) a combination of a positive or a negative fixed rnte and a positive variable rate. (b) The contract may provide for repayments of the principal or the return to the holder (but not both) to be linked to a single relevant observable index of general price inflation of the currency in which the debt instrument is denominated, provided such links are not leveraged. (c) The contract may provide for a detenninable variation of the return to the holder during the life of the instrument, provided that (i) the new rate satisfies condition (a) and the variation is not contingent on future events other than ( l ) a change of a contractual variable rate; (2) to protect the holder against credit deterioration of the issuer. (3) changes in l¢vies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant tsxation or law; or (li) the new rate is a market rate of interesi and satisfies condition (a). (d) There is no contractual provision that could, by its ternis, result in the holder losing the principal amount or any interest attributable to the current period or prior periods. (e) Contractual provisions that permit the issuer to prepay a debt instnllnent or pennit the holder to put it back to th¢ issuer before maturity are not contingent on future events. other than to protect the holder against the credit deterioration of the issuer or a change in control of the issuer, or to proteci the holder or issuer against changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law. (fj Contractual provisions may perniit the extension of the term of the debt instrument, provided that the return to the holder and any other contractual provisions applicable during the extended terni satisfy the conditions of paragraphs (a) to (c). Debi instruments that are classified as payable or receivable within one year on initial recognition and which meet the above conditions are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, net of impairnient. With the exception of some hedging instruments, other debt instruments not meeting these conditions are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Commitments to make and receive loans which meet the conditions mentioned above are measured at cost (which may be nil) less impainnent. Inve51ments Investments in non-convertible pref¢r¢nce shares and non-puttable ordinary or preference shares (where shares are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurable) are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairment. Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less impairnent. For investments in subsidiaries acquired for consideration including the issue of shares qualifying for merger relief, cost is measured by reference to the nominal value of the shares issued plus fair value of other consideration. Any premium is ignored. Page 9
ATMA Lounge Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 Derlvarfvejlnanclal ins¢ruments The charity uses derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk and interest rate movements. The charity does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in statement of financial activities immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrumenL in which event the timing of the recognition in ststement of financial activities depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. Falr value measuremeni The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are unavailable. the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not b¢¢n a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique. 3 Income from donations and legacies Unrestrieted funds General Total funds Donations and legacies; Donations from individuals 75,133 75,133 Total for 2023 75,133 75,133 4 Expenditure on raising funds a) Investment management costs Unrestricted funds General Total funds Note Allocated support costs 945 945 Total for 2023 945 945 Page 10
