       4. Srila Prabhupada’s original grass hut (bhajana kutira) at Sri Mayapura shall be a Bhaktivedanta

Whereas Srila Prabhupada was personally involved in the purchase of Bhaktivedanta Manor by George
Harrison, spent quality time there from 1973 to 1977, met and conversed with many devotees and
prominent people in his rooms there (conversations later published by the BBT in small books like the
“Journey of Self Discovery”), and indeed made the Manor his last destination outside India.

Whereas Srila Prabhupada mentions Bhaktivedanta Manor in many letters and conversations, thus placing
emphasis on the project.

Whereas Srila Prabhupada was highly pleased with Bhaktivedanta Manor and made it the European
headquarters for ISKCON.

Whereas Srila Prabhupada’s rooms at Bhaktivedanta Manor are one of the few remaining places that Srila
Prabhupada personally resided for a considerable length of time.

Therefore, it is resolved that:

Srila Prabhupada's Bhaktivedanta Manor, Watford, UK, be given official recognition as a Shrine and
Memorial and included in the ISKCON Law Book 100.2 Shrines and Memorials.

Whereas the GBC deliberates on sensitive spiritual and governance matters vital to ISKCON’s integrity and

Whereas modern governance best practice requires secure communication, document management, and
accountability systems.

Therefore, it is resolved that:

[Title] — Carrying out Srila Prabhupada’s Order — 2014
[Meeting] — Annual General Meeting
[Category] — Position paper
[Date passed] — February 20, 2014

[Note: this paper was originally passed in 2014 but not released publicly till now due to legal considerations]

Resolved that:

The document “Carrying Out Srila Prabhupada’s Order: The GBC as ISKCON’s Ultimate Managing
Authority” is an official GBC paper and an important presentation that traces the vision and instructions of
Srila Prabhupāda in establishing the Governing Body Commission (GBC) as the ultimate managing
authority of ISKCON. Drawing on key historical events, correspondence, and foundational documents, it
highlights how the GBC serves as the instrument of Srila Prabhupada’s will and the thread that holds
ISKCON together as a unified, spiritually vibrant global society.

We encourage the ISKCON community to view and share this resource, as it deepens our collective
understanding of Srila Prabhupada’s vision and underscores the responsibility we share in preserving and
strengthening the institution he built for the upliftment of the world.

301.09: ISKCON members: Letters of censure
[Title] — Notice of Censure of Kamalesh Krishna dasa, Lilasuka devi dasi and
Daksina devi dasi —2026
[Meeting] — Annual General Meeting
[Category] — Statement
[Date passed] — February 9, 2026

Resolved that:

The GBC issues the following letter of censure:

       Dear Kamalesh Krishna Prabhu,

       Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

       This letter records the formal censure adopted by the Governing Body Commission (GBC) in
       respect of yourself for non-compliance with GBC Resolution 450.03, passed on 21 February 2025.

       As you are aware, the GBC approved an Enhanced Child Protection Model on 3 January 2025.
       Shortly thereafter, the newly established GBC Standing Committee — Child Protection Oversight
       Committee (CPOC)—formally requested the handover of website and email credentials as early as
       11 January 2025, followed by additional requests for key documentation. Multiple emails were sent
       inviting you to attend a meeting to facilitate a structured transition, but no agreement was received,
       and the meeting never took place.

Subsequently, a Resolution 450.03 issued on 21 February 2025 required that the Minister of Justice
serve as transitional ICPO Director and specifically asked for a comprehensive handover to be
conducted by you, Kamalesh Krishna dasa, as the outgoing ICPO Director by the 1st of March 2025.
The resolution referred to the handover, inter alia, the transfer of case file notes, status reports,
incomplete case materials, investigator and panelist contact information, and all relevant databases
and records necessary to ensure continuity of safeguarding oversight. The resolution is clear and
binding.

The required comprehensive handover has, as of 9th February 2026 being the date of the issuing of
this censure, not occurred.

Over the past year, the matter was addressed with you via CPOC, ISKCON’s General Counsel and
the GBC Executive Committee. Additionally, a GBC EC File Note was issued in June 2025. When
compliance was still not forthcoming, the GBC EC issued a final letter of demand dated 24
November 2025 to you and Lilasuka devi dasi. A response was submitted by yourself on the final
day of the deadline, 15 December 2025, wherein you changed your stance from not having the
files/access to the files to an assertion that legal restrictions prevented transfer, a concern that had
never previously been raised and that, if valid, could have been addressed at the time the handover
was required.

As a result thereof an external legal opinion was sought by the GBC’s General Counsel which
determined that you, as the former ICPO Director acted under GBC authority as an agent of
ISKCON, that the records constitute ISKCON proprietary information, and that refusal to transfer
them to the GBC’s authorized representative is not legally justified.

This conclusion reflects not only the legal position, but also the most basic standards of institutional
common sense and leadership accountability. Your continued withholding of these records for
almost one year has impeded the implementation of the GBC-approved child protection framework
and has disrupted continuity of oversight in a safeguarding context.

Daksina devi dasi who had resigned as the UK CPO director, continued to upload case files on
behalf of your defunct office and serve in the North American CPO during Lilasuka devi dasi’s
medical leave period, having full access to all file data. Notably, Lilasuka devi dasi and Daksina devi
dasi, who were fully aware of the transference directive and had the means to facilitate it, likewise
failed and/or refused to act.

These failures reveal not isolated mistakes, but a systemic lack of stewardship, supervision, and
commitment to institutional continuity. This reflects a chain of defiance and accountability lapses at
the highest level as compliance with duly adopted GBC resolutions is an essential obligation of
service within ISKCON, while the transfer of institutional records during authorized transitions is
necessary to maintain continuity, accountability, and the protection of those served.

Accordingly, the GBC formally censures:

You, Kamalesh Krishna dasa, for failure to execute the comprehensive handover mandated by
Resolution 450.03 and failure to exercise basic foresight and leadership.

Lilasuka devi dasi and Daksina devi dasi, for facilitating or supporting the continued withholding of
CPO files and databases, in circumstances where transference could have been facilitated by them.
It is to be noted that after the November 2025 demand, Lilasuka devi dasi transferred only seven
case files to ISKCON’s General Counsel. These seven files relate only to open North American
cases. She continues to retain possession of all remaining ISKCON Child Protection files, both hard
and soft copies.

The GBC regards this non-compliance as a serious failure in the discharge of institutional
responsibility and considers it a severe case of incompetence and negligence. Such conduct is
inconsistent with the standards expected of those entrusted with governance and safeguarding
responsibilities, and is incompatible with any role requiring trust, accountability, and prudent
judgment. Given the fact that you had a fiduciary responsibility—timing, delegation, and inherited
arrangements do not excuse the absence of decisive leadership at a critical transition point as

       delegation of tasks does not equal delegation of responsibility. Safeguarding documentations
       represent the core operational responsibility of the office, and securing its orderly transfer should
       have been an intentional, proactive act of stewardship. The situation reflects not merely an
       administrative oversight, but a concerning lack of foresight, ownership, and leadership judgment at
       the close of your mandate.

       Accordingly, your conduct, particularly your non-compliance with a duly adopted GBC resolution,
       reflects a serious departure from the standards of cooperation and accountability expected of those
       entrusted with the protection of children and holding office in ISKCON. This has resulted in a loss of
       institutional confidence and raises serious concerns regarding suitability for future engagement in
       any office or position within ISKCON involving leadership, governance authority, oversight functions,
       institutional records, or child protection responsibilities.

       On behalf of the GBC Body,

       Your servants,

       Govardhana Das
       Tapana Misra Das
       Madhu Sevita Das,
       (GBC Executive Committee)




303.04: ISKCON — centers and affiliates: Individual centers
[Title] — Sale of the ISKCON Wellington property — 2025
[Meeting] — Online General Meeting
[Category] — Action order
[Date passed] — June 2, 2025

Whereas the GBC Executors Property Oversight Committee (GEPOC) recommends approving the sale of
the Wellington, NZ, temple based on use of all net sale proceeds for purchasing a new, larger, code-
compliant temple building, for the following reasons:

   1. The current Wellington, NZ temple was ordered closed for public assembly unless it is renovated to
      meet building codes and specifically handicap accessibility. That would entail rebuilding or adding
      handicap accessible bathrooms. Currently the temple cannot be used for public worship, kirtan,
      classes or serving prasadam to devotees and guests.

   2. If such renovations were performed, then the local authorities could apply for zoning for public
      assembly, etc.

   3. If such renovations were to be planned, it was felt by local GBC and the temple president that the
      entire building should be raised to avoid the regular flooding that occurs during heavy rains.

   4. The local GBC and temple president feel that even if such costly renovation work were performed,
      the temple doesn’t allow for growth, or even for safe parking.

   5. The local GBC and temple president have identified an alternate building in Petone (20 miles away)
      which is for sale, which is code compliant with adequate parking, currently used for commercial
      offices. If purchased, a renovation can be performed to create a large temple room suitable for the
      deities and suitable to accommodate a growing devotee and life member community.

   6. The temple president has raised and banked in an ISKCON account almost $700,000 NZD for the
      purchase. The sale proceeds from the current Wellington site would bring in sufficient additional
      funds to complete the purchase, albeit with a larger mortgage than currently exists on the
      Wellington temple property.

   7. The current deities are relatively small Gaura Nitai deities, which can be safely moved. The
      ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry has stated no objection to the move, based on obtaining Hutt City
      Council zoning for temple/public assembly.

Whereas based on the above reasons, GEPOC has no objection to the proposed sale for the stated
purpose

Therefore, it is resolved that:

The GBC hereby approves of the sale of the ISKCON Wellington property as presented.




306.02: ISKCON International Projects: Mayapur
[Title] — Mayapur Review — 2025
[Meeting] — Online General Meeting
[Category] — Action order
[Date passed] — June 25, 2025

Resolved that:

The GBC authorizes the GBC Executive Committee (EC) and General Counsel (GC) to oversee the
Review into Sridham Mayapur’s management and to provide updates on the progress of the Review on a
quarterly basis until its completion, with the first update on or before December 2025




307.03: ISKCON — Other: ISKCON constitution
[Title] — ISKCON Constitution ratified — 2025
[Meeting] — Online General Meeting
[Category] — Action order
[Date passed] — April 16, 2025


Whereas in October 2006 the GBC had resolved that one of the priorities for the future health of ISKCON
was to have a constitution.

Whereas the members of the Drafting Committee, through various drafts, have produced a version that the
GBC accepted and ratified.

Therefore, it is resolved that:

The following linked document is hereby acknowledged as the official Constitution of the International
Society for Krishna Consciousness.

Section 400: ISKCON Ministries, Committees, and
Offices
407.02: ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry: Installations
[Title] — Worshipping Laksmi-Nrsimha and Prahlada Maharaja in North
Atlanta, USA — 2025
[Meeting] – Correspondence Vote
[Category] – Statement
[Date passed] — May 29, 2025

Whereas a group of ISKCON devotees residing in North Atlanta has established a temple and now seeks to
have it officially recognized and affiliated as an ISKCON temple under the jurisdiction and guidance of the
GBC.

Whereas the North American Regional Governing Body (NA RGB) hereby proposes to formally accept the
North Atlanta center into the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).

Whereas the NA RGB has determined that, as a prerequisite for the North Atlanta center to be formally
recognized as an ISKCON temple, its deity worship standards must first receive approval from the ISKCON
Deity Worship Ministry (IDWM).

Whereas NA RGB has formally requested the IDWM to conduct a review of the deity worship at the North
Atlanta center and to submit a report of its findings to the NA RGB.

Whereas the North Atlanta center has submitted a formal application for the worship for deities of: Gaura-
Nitai (large & small), Laksmi-Nrsimhadeva and Prahlada Maharaja (large & small), two (2) Salagrama-silas,
Srila Prabhupada (large & small) and small deities of the guru parampara.

Whereas the North Atlanta center established these deities May 6th, 2023 and has been consistently
worshipping Them since that time.

Whereas ISKCON Law “Regulation of installations — 2017” states:

     For any applications for deities apart from those given by Srila Prabhupada, i.e., Radha-Krsna;
     Jagannatha, Baladeva, Subhadra; Gaura-Nitai (or Panca-tattva); and salagrama silas; the
     IDWM requires executive input. Therefore, for any application that includes Krsna-Balarama or
     Sita Rama Laksmana 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.

Whereas it was the intention of the IDWM in proposing this law that the aforementioned ISKCON regulation
shall apply not only to the commencement of worship of new deities within an ISKCON center, but also in
instances where a non-ISKCON center or temple with existing deities seeks to become affiliated as an
ISKCON center.

Whereas the purpose of this resolution is to evaluate a center’s ability to properly maintain the worship and
care for the deities, ensuring that their worship does not become an undue burden on the Society in the
future.

Whereas the Zonal GBC for Southeast (Zone 3) North America, Bir Krishna Goswami, has expressed his
support for the North Atlanta center becoming an official ISKCON center and for the continued worship of
the aforementioned deities.

Whereas the North American representatives of IDWM have evaluated the North Atlanta center for the
availability of qualified brahmanas, as well as other required facilities and resources.

Whereas recognizing the importance of integrating the North Atlanta center into the broader ISKCON
community, and after consulting with Balabhadra Bhattacarya dasa, the Regional Director, and Shyam
Behari dasa, the Temple President of the North Atlanta center—who have expressed their dedication and
commitment to consistently guide and support the local community, as well as their willingness to fully
implement all recommendations issued by the ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry in a structured and time-
bound manner—IDWM is ready to approve the deity worship at the North Atlanta center.

Therefore, it is resolved that:

The ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry is hereby authorized to issue a Certificate of Readiness to the North
Atlanta center for the worship of Lakshmi-Nrsimhadeva and Prahlada Maharaja (both large and small).




407.02: ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry: Installations
[Title] — Installing Lalita-Visakha Deities in Gurugram — 2025
[Meeting] — Correspondence Voting
[Category] — Action order
[Date passed] — February 4, 2026

Whereas ISKCON Gurugram Sector 45 has requested permission to install 42-inch marble deities of Lalita-
Visakha on 5 November 2025 along with deities of Radha-Krsna.

Whereas ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry requires GBC permission to offer approval for Lalita-Visakha
deities.

Whereas ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry’s India representatives have assessed ISKCON Gurugram
Sector 45 as having all the necessary brahmanas and other facilities to care for the deities of Radha-Krsna
Lalita-Visakha.

Therefore, it is resolved that:

The ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry is hereby granted permission to issue a Certificate of Readiness to
ISKCON Gurugram - sector 45 for the 42-inch marble deities of Lalita-Visakha.




444.02 GBC Succession Committee: Decisions
[Title]: GBC Succession Committee Facilitation Team members — 2025
[Meeting]: Mid-term General Meeting
[Category]: Statement
[Date passed]: October 4, 2025

Whereas succession at all levels of leadership is a critical need for ISKCON’s long-term stability.

Whereas the GBC Body has already recognized the urgency of establishing structured and seamless
transitions, particularly at the GBC level.

Whereas without a clear, systematic approach, ISKCON risks leadership vacuums, confusion, and
weakened organizational strength.

Whereas at the 2025 AGM, the GBC created a Succession Committee to draft an actionable framework.

Whereas after global consultation with National Councils, the Committee established a GBC Succession
Facilitation Committee to:

       •   Coordinate structured communication between GBC, National Councils, and zones
       •   Identify, assess, and recommend qualified succession candidates
       •   Assist zones in transition planning
       •   Provide accountability and regular reporting to the GBC Body.

Whereas this proposal formalizes the membership of the Facilitation Team (zone-wise) and establishes a
timeline for all GBC members to participate in the process. By January 31, 2026, each GBC member will
have begun succession discussions with the Facilitation Team and begin exploring potential names with
the Facilitation Team. A comprehensive progress update will be presented at the 2026 AGM in Mayapur.

Whereas this action ensures ISKCON’s global governance remains strong, stable, and faithful to Srila
Prabhupada’s vision.

Therefore, it is resolved that:

The GBC Body approves the following devotees as members of the GBC Succession Facilitation Team for

[Title] — ISKCON 60th and Srila Prabhupada Tirobhava 50th Anniversary Global
Committee — 2025
[Meeting] — Mid-term General Meeting
[Category] — Administrative Order
[Date passed] — October 5, 2025

Whereas observance of both ISKCON’s 60th Anniversary in 2026 and the 50th Anniversary of Srila
Prabhupada’s Tirobhava in 2027 offer outstanding opportunities for deepening ISKCON members’
connection with our Founder-Acarya A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and expanding Srila
Prabhupada’s ISKCON mission.

Whereas there is a need for international leadership, support and coordination to maximize the success of
ISKCON’s efforts for these observances.

Whereas the close succession of these events warrants a combined approach and a unified effort.

Whereas devotees, temples and zones should be encouraged and supported to plan and prepare this year,
2025, for these observances.

Therefore, it is resolved that:

The 60-50 Commemoration Global Committee is created.

Its initial members shall include Anuttama dasa (Co-Chair, ISKCON Minister for Communications),
Pancharatna dasa (Co-Chair, GBC SPT), and Parijata devi dasi (GBC Executive Support Office — ESO,

450.03: ISKCON Central Office of Child Protection (CPO): Child
Protection Oversight Committee (CPOC)
[Title] — Special Interim Review Panels —2026
[Meeting] — Correspondence Vote
[Category] — Action Order
[Date passed] — March 24, 2026

Whereas in the transition to the Enhanced Approach Child Protection System, some child protection
matters were left unresolved, and reliable case records were never handed over or are incomplete.

Whereas the lack of case resolution coupled with the non-handover of the files has disrupted the transition
framework under which the Interim Director was expected to finalize pending CPO cases including appeals.

Whereas withheld files, incomplete adjudications and unaddressed appeals cause ongoing distress for
victims, accused devotees, families, and communities while continuing unresolved restrictions without
closure is contrary to ISKCON’s duty of care and compassion.

Whereas protecting children is an act of devotional care, requiring timely, fair, and consistent resolution.

Whereas legal consultation confirms that, in case of litigations, civil courts generally defer to a religious
body’s highest authority when fair and transparent internal procedures exist.

Therefore, it is resolved that:

The GBC hereby authorizes the establishment of Special Interim Review Panels (SIRPs), operating under
the oversight of the Child Protection Oversight Committee (CPOC), to address pending child protection
matters without final adjudication and/or appeals, expressly excluding all cases that have already been fully
adjudicated and where the appeal has not been lodged within the 60-day deadline from the date of the
CPO decision in a particular case.

CPOC and ISKCON’s Law Department will work together to identify and select qualified members for the
Special Interim Review Panels.

The Special Interim Review Panels shall follow the adjudication and appeal procedures set out in the CPO
Guidelines 2023. If compelling issues arise outside the scope of the CPO Guidelines 2023, the Special
Interim Review Panels shall seek guidance from CPOC, which may consult the ISKCON Law Department
to ensure the highest level of procedural integrity.

A Special Interim Review Panel shall issue a written, reasoned, and internally coherent determination to
achieve procedural closure.

Appeals:

In the event that an appeal is permitted or required under the applicable procedures, the appeal shall be
heard by a newly constituted Special Interim Review Panel composed of members who did not participate
in the original adjudication.

This appellate Special Interim Review Panel shall review the matter in accordance with the CPO Guidelines
2023 and shall issue a written, reasoned, and internally coherent determination, which shall constitute the
final decision within the Special Interim Review Panel process.

Upon the complete handover of all case files from the former International Child Protection Office, Special
Interim Review Panels shall not be given any further matters and shall only complete the cases that they
have already commenced.

450.03: ISKCON Central Office of Child Protection (CPO): Child
Protection Oversight Committee (CPOC)
[Title] — Ownership and retrieval of historical case records —2026
[Meeting] — Annual General Meeting
[Category] —Statement
[Date passed] — February 9, 2026

Whereas the GBC established the Child Protection Oversight Committee (CPOC) to reform and strengthen
ISKCON’s child protection governance under the Enhanced Approach to Child Protection.

Whereas the GBC appointed an Interim International Child Protection Office Director for a defined
transitional period, explicitly requiring the full handover of all child protection case files and records from the
previous International Child Protection Office and its Director.

Whereas despite explicit GBC directives and Executive Committee file notes, a complete handover of
institutional case files has not occurred, and a substantial portion of files remains in the possession of a
former officeholder, which is a direct non-compliance with the GBC resolution 450.03 dated February 21,
2025:

        “A comprehensive handover process by the current ICPO Director to the transitional ICPO
        Director shall be conducted. This process shall include, but is not limited to, the transfer of
        all case file notes, status reports, and contact information for panelists and investigators,
        with particular attention to incomplete case files. Additionally, all relevant databases—
        covering complaints, offenders, Child Protection Teams (CPTs), and panelists—must be
        fully transferred by the current ICPO Director to the transitional ICPO Director, to ensure
        continuity and oversight.”

Whereas certain regional authorities have transferred some files from their custody, confirming that such a
handover is both feasible and appropriate.

Whereas the continued retention of institutional case files by unauthorized individuals has directly
obstructed the processing of appeals, impeded due process, and caused ongoing ethical, pastoral, and
operational harm.

Whereas all child protection case files—physical or digital—are the sole institutional property of ISKCON,
and claims of personal custodianship or generalized data-protection objections do not supersede lawful
institutional governance.

Whereas the failure to secure these files exposes ISKCON, GBC, and duly appointed bodies to escalating
legal, regulatory, and reputational risk, while they are unable to act without access to records.

Whereas in a written statement to the GBC EC on December 15, 2025, the former International CPO
Director stated that he is not able to transfer the data due to obligations under the UK data-protection law
(UK General Data Protection Regulation Law).

Whereas the ISKCON’s General Counsel sought guidance from Taylor Wessing, a well-established
London-based international law firm, which confirmed that, under current UK GDPR law, the case files are
the property of the GBC, which determined the purposes and means of the data processing, and that the
former International CPO Director has no legal standing in relation to the files, having acted solely as an
agent of the GBC rather than as an owner, controller, or processor of the data, and that by restricting
access to the data he is in breach of UK GDPR.

Therefore, it is resolved that:

   1. Institutional Ownership Affirmed
The GBC formally reaffirms that all child protection case files are the exclusive property of ISKCON and
must be held only by currently authorized child protection bodies.

    2. Immediate Handover Required
Any individual or entity retaining such files without current authorization is hereby directed to transfer all
records—complete, unaltered, and without condition—to the custody designated by CPOC. Access to the
digital files is to be provided within 14 days of the adoption of this resolution. The physical files are to be
provided within 45 days of the adoption of this resolution.

    3. Decentralized Retrieval Authorized
In the event that there is persisting non-compliance, the GBC Body, in coordination with relevant GBC
Zonal Secretaries and regional authorities, shall ensure the handover of the case files from wherever they
are currently being held in the stipulated time period.

   4. Legal Enforcement Permitted
The GBC authorizes ISKCON’s General Counsel to arrange for the issuing of formal legal notices and, if
necessary, initiate appropriate civil proceedings to secure the recovery of institutional records withheld.

    5. Urgent Remedial Action
In the event of non-retrieval of the files, and in light of the emergency currently confronting ISKCON, the
GBC will convene an urgent meeting with CPOC to consider proposed solutions to the practical issues
resulting from the continued unavailability of the files and their operational consequences.

    6. Liability Clarified
Any continued retention, alteration, or obstruction relating to ISKCON child protection files shall be deemed
a serious breach of trust, with personal liability resting solely on those acting in conflict with this resolution.

    7. Reporting Requirement
CPOC shall report progress on file recovery to the GBC Executive Committee within the specific
timeframes mentioned above until full resolution is achieved.




Section 700: Gurus and disciples
702:05: ISKCON spiritual masters: Vaisnavi diksa-gurus
[Title] — GBC-IB Committee conclusions about Vaisnavi dīkṣā-gurus— 2026
[Meeting] — Annual General Meeting
[Category] — Statement
[Date passed] — February 10, 2026

Whereas the GBC-ISKCON Bureau joint committee was given the responsibility of suggesting to the GBC a
way forward to resolve the issue of whether Vaisnavis can take up the service of being diksa-gurus in
ISKCON.

Whereas this committee has since then discussed and deliberated Vaisnavi diksa-gurus (VDG) and various
connected issues to arrive at a way forward.

Whereas many highly qualified ISKCON Vaisnavis have done and are doing commendable service under
Srila Prabhupada’s guidance and protection in the mission of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Whereas the GBC-IB committee concluded that the role of a guru in ISKCON needs to be further examined
and clarified in relationship to Srila Prabhupada’s position, the managerial system that Srila Prabhupada
established, the guru’s disciples, and other devotees in ISKCON.

Whereas to conclusively determine who is qualified to take a service of leadership in ISKCON it is
necessary to first determine what that service is and what qualifications are required to perform that
service.
Whereas not only scriptural study is required for different parties to come to an agreement on such an
important issue, but also continued discussion between concerned open-minded leaders who have mutual

respect for each other. It will be helpful if underlying issues which are obstacles for the successful
conclusion of the issue be recognized and attempts to resolve them made.

Whereas from the GBC-IB committee’s discussions and deliberations the committee can now present a
way forward to resolve this issue. The committee’s proposal was arrived at after an examination of Srila
Prabhupada’s instructions and example as well as after consultation with various ISKCON’s committees,
leaders, and scholars.

Therefore, it is resolved that:

   1. ⁠There should be an ongoing discussion on guru-tattva based on Srila Prabhupada’s teachings and
       examples amongst qualified devotees in ISKCON. Details can be discussed further.

   2. ⁠There should be a system to give more recognition and spiritual authority to certain qualified siksa-
       gurus within ISKCON.

   3. ⁠Qualified Vaisnavis or Vaisnavas can be recognized as these special siksa-gurus.

   4. ⁠Until the issue of is satisfactorily resolved concerning Vaisnavi diksa-gurus, qualified Vaisnavis
       should only be recognized as siksa-gurus.

   5. The present committee remains open to assist in further research and discussions on the topic
      according to the GBC’s desire.

Zonal Assignments 2026
Note on GBC Areas: In 2015 the GBC adopted "a view of the deployment of its commissioners, the GBC
Zonal Secretaries . . . to optimize coverage of the planet," with the aim of "offering the world the most
systematic oversight and guidance."
This involved moving from a person-centered approach to dividing the world into territories possessing - as
much as possible - geographical and cultural consistency, allowing them to be "inheritable" by succeeding
GBCs. These are called "GBC Areas" (to distinguish them from the "zones" overseen by Zonal Supervisors).
Starting in 2018, the GBC has been ratifying GBC Areas and appointing "Area GBCs." Since other GBCs
might have been operating in that Area, they may continue to do so (as not to disrupt the existing working
relations) even without becoming the GBC for the whole Area, but remaining as co-GBCs together with the
Area GBC.
The orientation for the near future is that a GBC accepts a single “GBC Area” as his or her *exclusive*
territorial assignment, although the full implementation of this direction may take some time, and Area GBC
shall continue for some time to work together with other GBCs, cooperatively defining their degree of
involvement in the countries or states of the Area.
To optimize oversight, a priority for every Area GBC shall be to populate the Area with Zonal Supervisors.
