209.02: Spiritual Advisors Bhagavat Assembly (SABHA)
[Title] – Reviewing proposals and resolutions: Amendment of SABHA
document Section 2A — 2020
Action order


Whereas the SABHA has been created by the GBC to provide checks and balances on the GBC

Whereas currently there is no provision for the SABHA to review tabled and rejected proposals

RESOLVED:

That section 2A of the SABHA Document (Resolution 306 of the 2018 AGM) shall be amended as follows:

The GBC shall provide the SABHA with:

   a. The resolutions that passed*
   b. The tabled and rejected proposals*

By a two-thirds majority of its voting members, the SABHA can formally object to any GBC resolution and
return it to the GBC for re-evaluation. The SABHA can also request that a tabled and rejected proposal be
reconsidered by the GBC. This resolution is not retroactive.

[Footnotes to resolution]

*Other than those deemed confidential.



209.03: Spiritual Advisors Bhagavat Assembly (SABHA)
[Title] – SABHA membership — Approval of temporary members: Amendment
to SABHA document Section 7 — 2020
Action order


Whereas the current SABHA resolution does not provide for timely replacement of members

Whereas the SABHA can only fulfill its purpose by having a diverse composition and a minimum number of
members

Whereas article #9(c) of the SABHA document lists one of the Chair's responsibilities as "overseeing the
election of members"

RESOLVED:

That the SABHA chairman and/or any appointed SABHA member may interact with the SGGS, Regional
Councils, Vaishnavi Ministry, and Youth Ministry in selecting a temporary SABHA member. A temporary
member has full rights as a regular SABHA member. By a simple majority of all its voting members, the
SABHA can approve the inclusion of temporary members. The temporary member can then be either
approved or replaced by the appropriate administrative agency.

The temporary member will act with all the responsibilities and rights of a regular member. If approved by
the respective body (SGGS, Ministry, etc.), the temporary members will become regular members.

                                                                                                             3

Section 300: International Society for Krishna
Consciousness
301.03: ISKCON members
[Title] – Policy guidelines for understanding and managing domestic abuse in
ISKCON — 2020
Guideline


Whereas Srila Prabhupada instructed his devotees to be of exemplary behavior at all times

Whereas Grhastha-asrama is meant to be an asrama of peaceful coexistence and spiritual progress for
both husband and wife

Whereas Srila Prabhupada took special care to engage, facilitate and protect his women disciples

Whereas our sastra directs all devotees to protect the brahmanas, the elderly, children, women and cows

Whereas sometimes Vaisnava husbands in ISKCON communities use sastric references or bring in outside
non-Gaudiya Vaisnava cultural norms and use those to justify physical or emotional abuse of their spouse

Whereas spousal abuse also harms children and the community at large

RESOLVED:

That the ISKCON GBC accepts the GBC Statement Against Domestic Abuse and the Guidelines contained
therein that give guidance to devotees and also provide resources to leaders and managers who are called
upon to deal with domestic abuse in their communities.

[Footnotes to resolution]

ISKCON North America instituted a Domestic Abuse Policy in 2019. This has been well received. A
modified policy for International ISKCON is available.




                                                                                                          4

301.06: ISKCON members
[Title] – GBC decision concerning Ananda Caitanya dasa’s appeal — 2020
Action order


Whereas Ananda Caitanya dasa (BCAIS), formerly Bhakti Swarupa Caitanya Swami, was found to have
committed serious transgressions of the sannyasa order

Whereas the Sannyasa Committee, considering the evidence in this regard, decided to divest him of his
sannyasa title

Whereas Ananda Caitanya dasa subsequently appealed this decision

Whereas the GBC appointed a subcommittee consisting of Giriraja Swami, Krsna Kesava dasa, and Radha
dasi (MG) to look into this matter further

Whereas the subcommittee has submitted its recommendations to the GBC Body

RESOLVED:

That Ananda Caitanya dasa is directed to comply with the following:

   1.     Regular close association and careful mentoring by senior devotees. Such help should be
          specific in assisting Ananda Caitanya dasa to value the reputation of Srila Prabhupada,
          ISKCON, the sannyasa order, and the devotee community. He has indicated that Niranjana
          Swami and Bhakti Caitanya Swami know him and could be effective mentors.

   2.     Sannyasa status suspended for a minimum of four years. This suspension would run from the
          date of the original decision, meaning that Ananda Caitanya dasa has served one year of
          suspension thus far. At the end of the four-year period, his status should be reviewed by the
          Sannyasa Committee. If he is not ready for reinstatement, the Sannyasa Committee may extend
          the suspension after consideration of feedback from Ananda Caitanya dasa's mentors.

   3.     Limited preaching opportunities. After a period of one year from the adoption of these
          recommendations, Ananda Caitanya dasa could be given the opportunity to preach at small
          home gatherings. If this opportunity is granted to him, we recommend that he be required to
          obtain the permission of local and regional leaders in the area (after disclosing the terms of the
          decision against him). In addition, he should be chaperoned by a mature and reliable Vaisnava
          during any travel or preaching. At the end of four years from the date of the original decision, his
          mentors can assess whether he is ready to preach on a wider scale.

   4.     Five-year ban on leadership positions. This was part of the original decision and we believe it is
          appropriate. This five-year period would begin from the date of the original decision. The general
          standard used by both the Child Protection Office and the North American Leader Misconduct
          Committee is that giving Srimad-Bhagavatam class, giving the Sunday Feast or other public
          lectures, or leading kirtana are leadership positions.

   5.     Further restrictions possible. It should be made clear to Ananda Caitanya dasa that this remedial
          program of rectification is an opportunity for him to restore trust and to be reinstated as a
          recognized ISKCON sannyasi. If he breaches the conditions of probation, then his probationary
          period should be extended or he should receive further restrictions, including perhaps
          permanent removal of sannyasa status.

This GBC decision is based on two primary considerations. First, rectification and reintegration are
important goals of any system of correction in ISKCON. Ananda Caitanya dasa's offenses do not warrant
his being excluded from ISKCON. Thus, we must be concerned with reforming him.

                                                                                                             5

Further, a five-year period of prohibition with no mentoring or assessment means that we will have no
assurance that Ananda Caitanya dasa has rectified those tendencies that led to this situation. A shorter
period of restrictions with careful mentoring and monitoring is more likely to achieve good results.



303.03: ISKCON temples and affiliates
[Title] – Enhancing the culture of reading Srila Prabhupada's books globally
via Srila Prabhupada’s book reading week — 2020
Action Order


Whereas there is evidence that ISKCON devotees, including leaders, often face challenges in regularly
reading Srila Prabhupada's books

Whereas at the 2017 edition of the SGGS it was also felt there should be a worldwide effort to increase
reading of Srila Prabhupada’s books

Whereas Srila Prabhupada had many times emphasized the importance of his books and requested the
leaders of ISKCON to read his books and train others to systematically study his books

Whereas Srila Prabhupada often made statements such as, “I am very glad to know that you are reading
our literatures and you are very thoughtful about them”, and “In my books the philosophy of Krishna
Consciousness is explained fully so if there is anything which you do not understand, then you simply have
to read again and again”

Whereas Srila Prabhupada cautioned his followers to daily employ their intelligence, by reading, discussing
and preaching to others, in order to keep our minds and actions pure

Whereas there is the need to bequeath to future generations of ISKCON a culture of diligently reading Srila
Prabhupada’s books, so as to prevent speculations and concoctions

Whereas by reading Srila Prabhupada’s books regularly, present and future generations can gain Srila
Prabhupada’s divine association

RESOLVED:

The week leading up to Srila Prabhupada’s arrival in America be declared “Srila Prabhupada’s Book
Reading Week.” This year this falls between September 3 and 9.

   ●   During this week ISKCON centers are encouraged to highlight the importance of reading Srila
       Prabhupada’s books in all lectures, addresses and discussions.

   ●   During this week ISKCON leaders are encouraged to inspire devotees under their care to read Srila
       Prabhupada’s books by organizing orientation sessions and seminars on how and why to read Srila
       Prabhupada’s books regularly and systematically.

   ●   New programs may be introduced that will encourage and allow congregation devotees to take up
       the reading of Srila Prabhupada’s books enthusiastically.




303.03: ISKCON temples and affiliates

                                                                                                           6

[Title] – Presentations from the speaker's asana — 2020
Statement


Whereas the Srimad-Bhagavatam, Sri Caitanya-caritamrta or Bhagavad-gita class is a sacred time
dedicated to reading, discussing and deepening our understanding of our scriptures

Whereas the advertising of one’s own devotional products during or at the end of giving the Srimad-
Bhagavatam, Sri Caitanya-caritamrta or Bhagavad-gita class is in poor taste

Whereas it has been observed over the last few years, when tuning into many online classes around the
world, that this practice is gathering pace and risks becoming the norm

Whereas speakers who wish to promote their own devotional products, should, ahead of time, arrange with
the relevant authority to inform the devotees where—after class—their book, CD or USB stick etc., will be
available for purchase

RESOLVED:

No books, paraphernalia or any other products will be allowed to be advertised, promoted, or sold from or
near the speaker’s asana before, during, or after the class

All ISKCON temples and centers will thus ensure that when speaking from the speaker’s asana, speakers
will not use the speaker’s asana or nearby as a platform for the promotion, advertising or sale of any books,
paraphernalia or other products including their own.

The only exceptions to this law are the books and recordings of Srila Prabhupada.



303.03: ISKCON temples and affiliates
[Title] – Cooking with ghee — 2020
Guideline


Whereas Srila Prabhupada personally instructed and taught his disciples to prepare prasadam using ghee

Whereas most of our ISKCON temples are using oils instead of ghee for cooking, mainly due to economic
reasons

Whereas Srila Prabhupada stated:

       “Anna, ghṛta, dadhi and dugdha are food grains, ghee, yogurt and milk. Actually, these are the basis
       of all food. Vegetables and fruits are subsidiary... We should understand that in order to prepare
       nutritious food, we require only grains, ghee, yogurt and milk. We cannot offer anything else to the
       Deity. The Vaiṣṇava, the perfect human being, does not accept anything not offered to the Deity.”
       (Purport Cc Madhya 4.93)

Whereas Srila Prabhupada stated:

       “There should be abundant prasadam for whoever comes all day long. The kitchen should go on.
       So see there is sufficient stock of rice, atta, ghee, etc. The life members should be especially cared
       for and invited.” (Letter to Gurudas July 1, 1974 Melbourne)

Whereas Srila Prabhupada stated:

                                                                                                                7

       “From the very beginning I was asking to open restaurant and farm. Produce ghee in the farm and
       send to the restaurant, and make nice samosā, kachorī preparation, and there will be no scarcity of
       money. And if you organize in this way, your whole country will be transferred into Kṛṣṇa conscious
       country. Whole country.” (Room Conversation -- May 4, 1976, Honolulu)

Whereas Srila Prabhupada personally made multiple arrangements for providing ghee at various ISKCON
temples

Whereas Srila Prabhupada stated:

       “No society can improve in transcendental knowledge without the guidance of such first-class men,
       and no brain can assimilate the subtle form of knowledge without fine brain tissues. For such
       important brain tissues we require a sufficient quantity of milk and milk preparations.” (Light of the
       Bhagavata 27)

Whereas Srila Prabhupada made statements stressing ghee as an unavoidable essential in the diet for
development of necessary intellect

RESOLVED:

All ISKCON Temples are encouraged to use ghee in their cooking.



306.02: International Projects
[Title] – Mayapur Festival declaration: Section A — Statement of commitment
— 2020
Statement


Whereas Srila Prabhupada showed by his own personal example the importance of the Mayapur Festival
by attending every year—being the first one to arrive and the last one to depart

Whereas Srila Prabhupada encouraged devotees to participate in the Mayapur Festival

Whereas Srila Prabhupada expects his GBC to be “Acarya-like” and set an example

Whereas ISKCON Mayapur is our world headquarters, and the home of the Temple of the Vedic
Planetarium (TOVP). Thus, an ideal location is provided here for the GBC to associate with other ISKCON
devotees by engaging in the five principal limbs of bhakti together

Whereas by performing devotional activities together in Sri Dham Mayapur, we shall create a universal
impact. It was none other than Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur who said that, “. . . just by the performance of
Navadvipa Mandala Parikrama the world can be liberated”

Whereas the mood and action of the current leaders will send a message to future generations of leaders

Whereas the Mayapur Festival is an opportunity to foster love, trust, and friendship. The family that prays
together, stays together

Whereas a source of frustration for some devotees is to travel to Mayapur and not be able to associate with
the leaders, due to our leaders being too busy during the GBC meetings, and their rapid departure from
Mayapur after the meetings

Whereas if the Mayapur Festival is not well attended by our leaders, this will be a big loss for our society

RESOLVED:
                                                                                                                8

That the GBC Body makes the following statement:

“The GBC Body is committed to a healthy and wholesome Mayapur Festival. To achieve this end, we
commit to supporting this festival through our personal participation, as well as encouraging our fellow
Vaisnavas to participate.”



306.02: International Projects
[Title] – Mayapur Festival declaration: Section B — SGGS involvement — 2020
Action order


Whereas apart from the GBC members, other leaders of our society’s participation in the Mayapur Festival
will have a great impact

RESOLVED:

That the GBC Body hereby requests the organizers of the SGGS to bring the following item onto their
coming agenda for 2021:

“Mayapur Festival: Maximizing participation of GBCs, Srila Prabhupada’s Disciples, Gurus, and Sannyasis.”




Section 400: ISKCON Ministries and Committees
407.02: ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry (IDWM)
[Title] – Amendment to Certificate of Readiness—Appeal process— 2020
Governing law


Whereas ISKCON Governing Law 407.02, “Regulation of Deity installations — 2012” does not include any
information directing centers how to appeal decisions by the ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry

Whereas ISKCON centers have the right to appeal a decision

Whereas ISKCON centers should understand the process for appealing a decision

And whereas there is already an existing appeal process in ISKCON Law

RESOLVED:

ISKCON law 407.02, “Regulation of Deity installations — 2012” for commencing worship of Deities in
ISKCON is amended to include the following:

   Any ISKCON center that has applied to the ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry for a Certificate of
   Readiness to commence worship of deities, but their application has not been successful, may appeal
   the decision via the following process:

       1. Communicate to the ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry that they are not satisfied with the
          decision.


                                                                                                           9

       2. IDWM will then offer a written explanation of the decision.

       3. If the center is still not satisfied with the outcome of that communication then they have the
          option to follow the appeals process established by GBC resolution 604.2, Appeal of Decisions
          to GBC Executive Committee 2005.

The full revised law is below:

Any ISKCON center wishing to install any deities for public temple worship or commence the worship of
any deity in an ISKCON center must first receive a “Certificate of Readiness for Worship” for the said
deities.

Centers may procure deities and begin promoting planned temple openings or additions to existing worship
once they have successfully completed the first stage of the approval process. Centers shall not commit to
and/or publicly advertise final dates for commencement of worship until they receive a “Certificate of
Readiness for Worship.”

This “Certificate of Readiness for Worship” applies only to the deities for which it is granted and is not a
generic permanent approval.

The initial contact: The center wishing to commence the worship of deities makes an application via the
ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry’s website, Deityworship.com. After receiving this application, the IDWM
contacts the local GBC and regional authorities to assess the viability of the application. If this consultation
shows the center has made a proper analysis of the requirements to worship deities and are moving in the
right direction regarding allocation, resources, etc. to the worship of the deities then the first stage approval
is granted. This then enables the temple to make arrangements to acquire deities and commence fund-
raising, etc.

The second and final stage will be assessed based on the findings of a site visit by an IDWM
representative, or comprehensive consultation with concerned devotees.

The readiness for worship will be assessed by a local representative (from the temple concerned); the local
GBC, regional leadership (which may include a representative from the National Council or RGB, etc.); and
an ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry representative. The GBC Executive Committee will be informed of the
assessment outcome.

For any applications for deities apart from those given by Srila Prabhupada, i.e. Radha-Krsna; Jagannatha,
Baladeva, Subhadra; and Gaura-Nitai (or Panca-tattva) and salagram silas, the IDWM requires executive
input.

Therefore, for any application that includes Krsna-Balarama or Sita Rama Lakshman Hanuman, the IDWM
will consult with the GBC Executive Committee for approval.

Any deities apart from the aforementioned must be approved by the GBC Body before the IDWM can issue
a Certificate of Readiness for installing deities.

This Certificate of Readiness is valid for up to 180 days beyond the initial scheduled installation date. If the
180-day period has elapsed without the installation being completed, the temple will be reassessed by the
ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry for a new Certificate of Readiness to be issued.

Any ISKCON center that has applied to the ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry for a Certificate of Readiness
to commence worship of Deities, but their application has not been successful, may appeal the decision via
the following process:

   1. Communicate to the ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry that they are not satisfied with the decision.
   2. IDWM will then offer a written explanation of the decision.
   3. If the center is still not satisfied with the outcome of that communication then they have the option to
      follow the appeals process established by GBC resolution 604.2, Appeal of Decisions to GBC
      Executive Committee 2005.

                                                                                                               10

411.01: Harinama Sankirtana Ministry (HSM)
[Title] – Upgrading World Holy Name Committee to ISKCON Harinama
Sankirtana Ministry — 2020
Administrative Order


Whereas harinama-sankirtana is the yuga-dharma and a core practice of all ISKCON devotees

Whereas other important ISKCON practices are supported by Ministries, including:

   ● Ministry of Book Distribution
   ● Ministry of Cow Protection and Agriculture
   ● ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry

Whereas a Harinama Sankirtana Ministry would be of benefit to the society through contributions including,
but not limited to:

   ●   Education and training
   ●   Establishing standards
   ●   Production of publications
   ●   Website
   ●   Improved coordination of ISKCON’s annual World Holy Name Festival

Whereas the GBC Standing Committee, World Holy Name Committee, has been effectively functioning
since 2007 to celebrate the World Holy Name Festival and is willing to expand its mandate to function as a
Ministry

Whereas the World Holy Name Committee desires to add additional members to facilitate functioning as a
Ministry

RESOLVED:

That the World Holy Name Committee is hereby reconstituted as the ISKCON Harinama Sankirtana
Ministry.

The Ministry may be expanded to add additional members. The service description of the individual
members will be decided by the Ministry.

The Minister shall be Lokanath Swami.




                                                                                                         11

423.03: Guru Services Committee
[Title] – In-depth study of variations in second initiation policies — 2020
Action order


Whereas different initiating gurus in ISKCON have established different policies regarding when second
initiation may be offered to an ISKCON member. Some offer second initiation quite readily to all, regardless
of the service they are performing in the society, and others offer second initiation readily only to those who
are expected to be engaged in worship of ISKCON temple deities, and very few others

Whereas the Board of Examinations has established a standard for admission of a candidate for a
Bhaktivedanta degree program whereby second initiation is a prerequisite for enrolment, and it will soon be
publishing a revised standard for this degree that removes this prerequisite, but adds the requirement that
the candidate must be second-initiated in order to actually receive a Bhaktivedanta degree

Whereas this lack of uniformity in second initiation policies of ISKCON's initiating gurus may be the source
of unnecessary conflict and confusion

Whereas some ISKCON gurus have changed Srila Prabhupada’s requirements for second initiation

RESOLVED:

That the Guru Services Committee is directed to arrange for an in-depth study of the varying policies for
second initiation and present their recommendations to the GBC at the 2021 AGM.

Action order


Whereas in 2018 it was resolved that The ISKCON International Office for the Prevention of Leader
Misconduct (PLM Office) be established as a permanent ISKCON organizational entity subject to review by
the GBC Body (as with other Offices and Ministries)

Whereas one of the immediate goals of The PLM Office was to draft a document of ISKCON International
Policies and Procedures for (a) preventing Leader Sexual Misconduct, (b) responding to complaints, and (c)
conducting investigations

Whereas the GBC body acknowledges the urgent need for such guidelines to be implemented in order to
facilitate the functions of the Office

RESOLVED:

   (i)     Until the final PLM Office Guidelines are adopted, the PLM Office Director shall have the authority
           to accept complaints on a case-by-case basis at his or her discretion. Such complaints shall be
           handled using the protocols contained in the PLM Office working document.

   (ii)    The Director of the PLM Office will submit to the GBC Executive Committee the Policy and
           Procedure Guidelines for consideration by the 2020 GBC Mid-term General Meeting.
                                                                                                             12

   (iii)   The GBC Executive Committee is authorized to, in its discretion, at any time prior to or at the 2020
           Mid-term General Meeting, adopt the Policy and Procedure Guidelines as it sees fit and such
           revised guidelines will then be the official Policy and Procedure Guidelines of the PLM Office.

[Footnotes to resolution]

The GBC spent considerable time discussing the guidelines for the PLM Office, but some details remained
to be worked out. Therefore, the GBC authorized to Executive Committee to adopt final policies with minor
adjustments, on its behalf. If approved by the Executive Committee, those shall be distributed to the GBC
members and made publicly known to the ISKCON society.

[Title] – Establishing the position of Special Duty Officer as an official position
