25. [CORRESPONDENCE RESOLUTION EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 4, 1991] WHEREAS, the
collec¬tive intelligence of the GBC body is often stifled during full GBC Meetings by being limited to
fol¬lowing strict Parliamentary proce¬dure, which requires discussion to be always focused on a
single formal proposal.
Therefore, the GBC Rules of Order shall be amended to include the following additional feature in
the procedures for con¬ducting meetings:
The Chairman, in order to better utilize the collective intelli¬gence of the GBC Body, may at certain

times want to hold discus¬sions which are not limited to a single formal proposal. In this
circumstance he may announce his in¬tention to temporarily suspend formal Parliamentary
Procedure. If there is no objec¬tion, only those portions of Parlia¬mentary Procedure which restrict
discus¬sion to a formal proposal on the floor become suspended. If there is an objection, then the
matter may be discussed and decided by majority vote. Once formal Parliamentary Proce¬dure has
been suspended, the chairman may reinstate it at any time. During the period of sus¬pension of
Parliamentary Procedure the chair¬man shall have broad powers to focus the discus¬sion in such a
way as to utilize the collective in¬telligence of the Body to arrive at creative solutions to complex
problems. {91}

26. [CORRESPONDENCE RESOLUTION EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 4, 1991] That the GBC Rules of
Order be amended so that if a member feels that the current speaker is not contri¬buting new
in¬formation to the discussion, he may object to the discussion by inter¬rupting with the statement:
“Point of Redundancy”. The speak¬er must then wait for a ruling from the chairman, who may
overrule the objection and allow the speaker to continue, advise the speaker to continue with new
information, or recognize a new speaker. {91}

27. [CORRESPONDENCE RESOLUTION EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 4, 1991] That the GBC Rules of
Order be amended so that if a member feels that the current speaker has made a state¬ment which
needs to be verified according to the principles of guru, sadhu, and shas¬tra before additional
meaningful discussion can continue, he may interrupt the speaker with the statement: “Point of
Shastra”. The chairman may overrule the objection or direct the discussion toward clarifying the
authority of the statement as re-quested. Once the Point of Shastra is resolved the floor returns to
the original speaker. {91}

28. [CORRESPONDENCE RESOLUTION EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 4, 1991] That the following be
added as an additional guideline to apply when considering candidates for approval to serve as an
ISKCON guru:
Should be engaged full-time in devotional service in an ISKCON cen¬ter or other ISKCON-approved
preach-ing program. {91}

29. [CORRESPONDENCE RESOLUTION EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 4, 1991] That the following be
added as an addi¬tional procedure in the system of approval for ISKCON gurus:
In case the devotee nominated for serving as an ISKCON guru has not resided for five years in the
zone making the nomination, “no objection” letters shall be required from the zones previously
resided in during the previous five year period. {91}

30. [CORRESPONDENCE RESOLUTION EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 4, 1991] That Resolution 90-55,

authorized to finalize the design of the alcoves on the walls of the Mayapur Samadhi. {91}

31. That Resolution 90-99, which established ISKCON Journal as an occasional publication dealing
conclusively with relevant specific issues, be modified as follows:

That ISKCON Journal need not deal conclusively with all topics, provided it presents such non-
conclusive discussions as not attempting to present any GBC-established siddhanta. Presenta¬tions
coming from GBC resolutions must be established as con¬clusive statements. In on-going
discussions on controversial issues the editors shall strive to achieve balance and shall insure that

the contributions observe vaisnava etiquette and are philosophically sound. It must publish two
issues in 1991-92 (Caitanya Era 505). {91}

32. That Radha-Parthasarathi das (Delhi) be appointed production manager for ISKCON Journal,
under the supervision of Bhakticaru Swami. {91}

34. That all ISKCON sannyasis be added as reviewers for the ISKCON Review Board, and that the
Board be allowed to select additional reviewers as required. {91}

35. That the resignation of Prthu das as Chairman of the ISKCON Review Board be accepted.
Bhaktarupa das is appointed as Chairman. {91}

36. That the leaders of the Krishna Consciousness movement, as followers of Srila Prabhupada,
ought to see book distribution as our most effective means of preaching.

“Know it for certain that there is no better way to preach Krishna Consciousness than through the
distribution of my books.”
We can make a worldwide revolution in the hearts of the people of this world and save these people
from material existence through the distribution of Srila Prabhupada’s books.
But book distribution strongly increases only when we have a constant influx of new ISKCON
devotees. So to increase book distribution, we must make new devotees.
Therefore, wherever we have powerful leaders — whether GBC members, gurus, sannyasis, or
temple presidents — they ought to impress upon their followers that book distribution and making
new devotees to go out on book distribution are ISKCON’s main work.
The guru, whether siksha or diksha, has great power to increase ISKCON’s preaching. Therefore, in
cooperation with the GBC Body and the individual GBC members, the guru should use that power to
encourage and inspire his disciples to make new devotees and increase the distribution of books.
Gurus can impress upon their disciples the importance of the Mayapur Project, remind them of its
dependence on the BBT’s income from book distribution, and encourage them to dedicate
themselves to the mission of distributing books and building the Mayapur City.
Srila Prabhupada himself did this, and so can the leaders who follow him.
We all understand that we must build the temple and city in Mayapur. And the way to do this is
through book distribution. Therefore the leaders of ISKCON — GBC members, gurus, sannyasis,
temple presidents, and senior devotees — should bring the Mayapur City, and the book distribution
that supports it, to the forefront of ISKCON’s consciousness.
All ISKCON leaders are urged to strive vigorously to instill within their followers a consciousness of
the crucial importance of the Mayapur City and book distribution to the success of ISKCON’s
mission. {91}

37. Whereas, in pursuance of Resolution 90-69 wherein Bhakti Tirtha Swami was placed on
probation from the GBC Body and given a program of rectification for the 1990-91 year, which was
in the mood of rehabilitating him as a GBC member in good standing through association with the
holy dhams and senior ISKCON vaisnavas who reside there; and whereas he unfortunately failed to
comply with these specific terms of rectification.
Therefore, the GBC Body, with deep regret, is compelled by its rules to hereby suspend Bhakti Tirtha
Swami as a member of the GBC.
It is the GBC’s primary concern to see Bhakti Tirtha Swami reinstated as a member in good

standing, and in order to achieve this, a program of rectification is given as follows:
He must cooperate with the GBC’s assigned to the areas in which he is preaching.
For maintaining international standards, he must encourage his disciples to bring the procedures in
his zone for the honoring and worshiping of guru into conformity with those prescribed in the Laws
of ISKCON.
He must pay the $250 arrears for GBC assessment fees accumulated during his tenure as a GBC in
good standing.
He must accept the hospitality of ISKCON Mayapur or Vrindaban for one month during 1991.
However, should Bhakti Tirtha Swami not take the necessary steps to implement this prescribed
program of rectification by the end of 1991, it shall be understood that in fact he has no desire to
continue as a GBC member. He would then be subject to removal from the GBC Body at the 1992
Annual Meeting. {91}

38. Contingent upon the three Property Trustees approving and supervising the move of Sri Sri

85. That ISKCON welcomes the interest which has been shown for preaching in ISKCON’s Temples
and to its congregation by prominent preachers from other branches of the Brahma-Madhva-
Gaudiya sampradaya, especially since it was Srila Prabhupada’s desire that in the future there may
be a unity amongst the followers of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and especially the Saraswat family
(disciplic descendants of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur). To further this cooperation,
whenever a prominent member of a bona fide non-ISKCON Gaudiya Vaisnava organization intends
to make multiple use of ISKCON facilities either locally or while on tour, he and his organization
should:

1) Acknowledge Srila Prabhupada’s position as a bona fide acarya in the sampradaya whose views
represent the desires of the previous acaryas;
2) Acknowledge Srila Prabhupada’s right to use that name, and not be adverse to referring to him in
that way;

3) Acknowledge that ISKCON is a distinct and bona fide branch of the Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya
sampradaya;
4) Allow ISKCON preachers similar facility within their institutions;
5) Acknowledge ISKCON’s authority structure under the GBC Body and agree to abide by its laws
and decisions.

principles and processes which is either approved directly by the GBC Body or according to
guidelines it may establish in the future. {91}

87. That in order to effect Resolution 91-86 immediately, new officers will be elected to begin their
terms at the conclusion of the 1991 meeting. {91}

91. Whereas, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness should be managed to
systematically realize the Mission given by Srila Prabhupada and the previous acaryas. ISKCON’s
progressive realization of that Mission should also be regularly evaluated. In order to better
concentrate the collective energy of the worldwide ISKCON devotee community; and to cultivate
inspiration, dynamism, effectiveness, appreciation, faith, and cooperation amongst the members of
ISKCON, it is hereby resolved:
That the following be adopted as ISKCON Laws:

1. Definitions:

supporting objectives, progressive goals and vital tasks as defined below:

a) Statement of Mission (ISKCON Statement of Aim):

movement for a specific primary area of devotional service. Statements of Mission are established
and modified by the GBC body. All members of ISKCON and leaders shall cooperate together and
work to systematically achieve ISKCON’s Statements of Mission. {91}

b) Supporting Objective:
In order to realize the broad Statement of Mission there are essential, integral and supporting
objectives that must first be achieved. These are called the “Supporting Objectives”. They are by
definition more specific and detailed than the Statement of Mission. They deal with a sub-topic
within a Statement of Mission. Supporting Objectives are also established and modified by the GBC
body.

c) Progressive Goals

In order to work towards progressively realizing ISKCON’s Statements of Mission and Supporting
Objectives, each zone (or temple) will adopt intermediary stages or goals called Progressive Goals.
Unlike both Mission Statements and Supporting Objectives, Progressive Goals are time bound,
quantitative, specific, and localized. The respective authorities for each level of administration
within a zone should establish and update their own Progressive Goals based on their areas of
responsibility. As a general principle, one year and five year goals shall be set.

d) Vital Tasks:

In order to achieve a Progressive Goal there may be many lesser tasks that need to be achieved.
These are very specific and limited in nature and are the lowest definable stage towards achieving
the Statement of Mission. The respective administra¬tive authorities shall assign tasks for the areas
and leaders under them.

2. Monitors:

That a Monitor shall be appointed by the GBC Body for each Statement of Mission. His general
duties are:

a) To encourage Zonal Secretaries and ISKCON Managers to take practical steps towards achieving
the Statement of Mission and Progressive Goals;

b) To advise, assist, and promote the realization of the Statement of Mission or coordinate others to
do so;

c) To monitor the progress towards the stated Mission, its Supporting Objectives, and the
Progressive Goals for the world;

d) To work through the regular ISKCON administrators, and to try to further motivate them to
achieve the Statement of Mission.

e) To make annual, and other progress reports as necessary, on the respective Statement of Mission.

f) To make observations on each Zonal Secretary’s progress reports, and otherwise make special
progress reports or studies in regard to a zone or other area,as required;

g) To appoint an assistant or assistants, and advisers (who are experts in the field), as needed.

3. Kshetra Committees (Standing Committees):

GBC Standing Committees, known as a Kshetra Committees shall be formed for each Statement of
Mission, comprised of the Monitors of the concerned Statement of Mission, concerned GBC
Members, and other qualified persons as the GBC deems necessary. A Kshetra Committee shall have
the following duties:

a) To evaluate the progress reports of the Monitors, and other related information, and on that basis
to make observations, recommendations, and proposals to the GBC body, both at the plenary
meeting and in correspondence voting;

b) To discuss the proposals submitted by the Monitors concerning their assigned Statements of
Mission from a broader perspec¬tive, so that a more comprehensive flow for promoting the Mission
Statement can be achieved;

c) To refer issues that arise from proposals or problems under discussion to other standing
committees whose input is required;

d) To save the GBC plenary session’s time and energy by studying the facts, hearing concerned or
interested GBC members and identifying the important issues of any proposals related to their area:

e) To submit all proposals and recommendations to the GBC body in writing. Each will clearly
delineate the issues, the history, including the original proposal, as well as the rationale behind all
their decisions. Ksetra Committee proposals will fall into one of three categories

i) Recommendations that receive a consensus (a majority for with no opposing vote): The GBC shall
be requested to pass the proposal, no alternative proposal will be required;

ii) Recommendations that do not receive a consensus: The GBC shall be requested to review the
issues and decide amongst alternative proposals;

iii) Requests for direction from the plenary body.
The proposals shall be accompanied with the positive, negative and abstaining vote counts on each
issue.

f) To ask the GBC body for direction when questions of principle or differences of opinion need to be
resolved for a matter to be properly deliberated;

g) To reconsider matters referred to it by the GBC body after appropriate direction has been given;

h) To refer matters back to Monitors when additional groundwork is needed before it can be
presented to the GBC;

i) To continue meeting during the year in person or by correspondence;

j) To otherwise act as a standing sub-committee to the GBC body and perform such duties as the
GBC delegates to it from time to time.

4. Rule of Order regarding more streamlined meeting procedures:

That GBC plenary sessions shall ordinarily focus on deciding matters of principle and overall policy,
and choosing between clearly delineated alternatives which cannot be decided by any lesser body,
and all other work specifically reserved for itself, and shall avoid engaging in fact-finding, solution-
finding, and other preliminary deliberations normally reserved for the Ksetra Committees. When
plenary session discussions become prolonged due to non-availability of acceptable alternatives,
sparsity of facts or evidence, or the surfacing of new information or realizations that were not
considered in the Ksetra committee, the matter may be sent back to the Committee by the Chairman
if there is no objection, otherwise by simple majority vote.

5. Annual Reports to Monitors:

That each GBC Member (Zonal Secretary and/or Minister), in addi¬tion to the Annual Report to be
submitted to the GBC Body via the Corresponding Secretary, shall also be required to submit reports
to each Monitor before the specified deadline. A Zonal Secretary’s Annual Report shall include
information on his zone for each Statement of Mission/Aim as follows:

a. Details requested for each temple;

b. Summary of the zonal progress in relation to the specific Statement of Mission;

c. Proposals related to the Statement of Mission;

d. New or revised zonal Progressive Goals for the Statement of Mission;

A GBC Minister’s Annual Report shall include information on the progress achieved for his
Statement of Mission/Aim.

The Corresponding Secretary, in conjunction with the concerned Monitor, shall standardize the
report forms so as to facilitate data entry and data reporting of annual progress of the entire
ISKCON Movement. The Corresponding Secretary shall be responsible to see that informative
progress reports from available data are generated by computer as far as practical.

6. Zonal Secretary’s Duties

That a Zonal Secretary’s duties in relation to Statements of Mission are to motivate and organize his
zone’s progress in each Statement of Mission area. He is also to present that progress in an Annual
