Param Gati Swami

The Governing Body Commission of ISKCON wishes to announce that Param Gati Swami has resigned from
the GBC and will no longer accept disciples for initiation. The GBC has determined, following a careful
investigation, that Param Gati Swami recently made sexual advances to a male devotee. The man did not
welcome these advances and matters advanced no further. In pursuance of GBC direction, Param Gati Swami
will be staying in Mayapur for the next year for a directed course of counseling and spiritual restoration under
GBC supervision. The Governing Body Commission of ISKCON wishes to announce that Param Gati Swami

Minutes Of The Annual General Meeting Sri Mayapur Dham, February 6 ~ 17, 2010 305. Param Gati Das
Param Gati Swami has decided in consultation with the Sannyasa Ministry that it would be in his best interest
to step down indefinitely as a sannyasi. This was seen as being favorable for rectifying problems he faced in
the sannyasa asrama in the past. The GBC Body has accepted this decision. The Sannyas Committee will
monitor his service and his situation will be reviewed after three years. He will hereby revert to his brahmacari
name, Param Gati Das.

ABOUT THE PARAMGATI AND HIS DISCIPLES, THE GBC BODY RESOLVED PREVIOUSLY:

Those who are initiated disciples can approach the regional or temples authorities to which they belong, as well
as other senior devotees trusted, for guidance. Through a strong association with good devotees and a deep
relationship with our Founder-acarya Srila Prabhupada, the disciples of Paramgati will be able to overcome any
obstacles and continue to advance along the path of devotional service. Paramgati agrees that the he will not
initiate disciples for an indefinite period. These restrictions apply to both students and aspiring candidates for
the second initiation. He also agrees that his disciples may seek shelter in other gurus, if they wish. Other
decisions on this matter will be taken by the GBC Body, the Executive Committee of the GBC and Guru
Services Committee, in line with Paramgati Swami.

The GBC Executive Committee clarifies that the statement made in the second paragraph of the resolution,
“his disciples can seek shelter in other gurus, if they will," which basically means they can take shelter in other
gurus through siksa. However, if a disciple feels it is absolutely essential to his/her progress in Krishna
Consciousness been reinitiated by another ISKCON guru, must seek the advice of the authorities in their
region. If the authorities agree, the student may be reinitiated. GBC Body Department of Communication

Another Case Param Gati Swami - Secret

Translated from the original in Portuguese to English.

Dear members of CGB (Governing Council of Brazil - Conselho Governamental do Brasil). Please accept my
humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Before our annual meeting the CE (executive committee) received another accusation involving Param Gati
Swami and a aspirant disciple. This new fact happened six months before the last incident in Nova Gokula
(New Gokula Farm, state of Sao Paulo in Brazil). Since then we proceeded on the way to check the facts to
show them in a private meeting like suggested by the devotee involved. The devotee agreed to give his
deposition that was transcript and that goes attached to you. The same deposition was already sent to CE of
GBC and to the ministry of Sannyasis so that all the procedures necessary can be take and Maharaja can be
listened. We ask all of you to keep secret about the content of the deposition until the next orientation. By the
request of the devotee himself his name and place where occurred was suppressed and we have put (*).

Serving Srila Prabhupada.
