34. That Partha Sarathi Das (France) be placed on the one year sannyasa waiting list.
35. That the following statement be accepted as ISKCON’s statement about the Founder-Acarya:
To fulfill the previous acarya’s desire for a united worldwide preaching organization to expand Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s mission, Srila Prabhupada founded the International Society for Krishna
Consciousness as a distinct branch of the Brahma Madhva Gaudiya Vaisnava sampradaya. Therefore
he is the Founder-Acarya of ISKCON.
a. Srila Prabhupada is the foundational siksa guru for all ISKCON devotees because he has realized
and presented the teachings of the previous acaryas of the Brahma Madhva Gaudiya sampradaya
appropriately for the modern age.
b. Srila Prabhupada’s instructions are the essential teachings for every ISKCON devotee.
c. Srila Prabhupada’s books are the embodiment of his teachings and should be accepted as the
standard by all future generations of ISKCON.
d. Srila Prabhupada should be worshiped daily by every ISKCON member.
e. Every ISKCON spiritual master is responsible to guide his disciples to follow Srila Prabhupada’s
instructions.
f. As Founder-Acarya, Srila Prabhupada gave directions for management, principles of co-operation,
and other practical guidelines which form the basis and inspiration for ISKCON’s policies.
g. Srila Prabhupada established the Governing Body Commission to execute his will, following the
order of the previous acaryas.
37. That the GBC Body offers its vote of thanks to His Grace Krsna Ksetra Dasa, His Holiness Bhanu
Swami and all the members of the Deity Worship Committee for their sincere service in successfully
publishing the Deity Worship book.
38. That Bhakti Tirtha Swami is reinstated as a member in good standing of the GBC and his
suspension of 1991 is removed.
39. That Radha Govinda Das:
a. Is approved to take sannyasa.
b. Must not initiate until approved.
c. Must plan his preaching programs in consultation with the subcommittee of Gopal Krishna
Goswami, Lokanath Swami and Bhurijana Dasa.
40. That Adridharana Prabhu, Calcutta Temple President, shall be the recognized authority for
directing preaching and fundraising activities in Calcutta and Howrah. All such programs need to
receive his prior approval and devotees should co-operate with his directions.
ISKCON Calcutta has a duty to help support ISKCON Mayapur and spread the glories of Mayapur.
After the Calcutta project is completed, in about five years, Calcutta has a duty to help build
Mayapur.
ISKCON Mayapur should no longer send its membership makers to the Calcutta/Howrah area. In
exchange ISKCON Mayapur may choose whichever of the following options they prefer:
a) 2 1/2 lakh rupees per month, adjusted annually for inflation; or
b) 30% of funds collected from the enrollment of new life members, but not less than two lakh
rupees or more than five lakh.
ISKCON Mayapur can retain their entire membership team. Bombay has agreed to host at least one
team as a trial, and if it works will add one more team. The rest can enroll members in the remainder
of Bengal.
Adridharana will put three months maintenance on fixed deposit in case he should fall behind in his
Mayapur payments. Payment will be due on the 1st of each month. Bhakti Charu Swami has agreed

to also stand behind the payments as a guarantor. HH Sridhara Swami is appointed as monitor, and
he has authority to access these funds should ISKCON Calcutta fall behind in its payments. If
Calcutta falls more than two months behind, the entire agreement is null and void.
Bus Tours from Calcutta will be under Calcutta’s control. The caliber and quality will be co-
ordinated with the monitor to improve them and collect complaints.
Donations given in Mayapur by Calcutta residents visiting are Mayapur’s. They are not to be credited
against Calcutta’s guarantee of maintenance.
Adridharana agrees to hold seminars to help train Mayapur devotees for capital campaigns and fund
raising. He will also help Mayapur set up tours from other parts of Bengal.
If the agreement is working, Adridharana will consider:
a. helping Pancaratna organize a monthly membership program for Mayapur in Calcutta;
b. membership makers from Mayapur working in Calcutta on some percentage basis, under the
Calcutta temple president’s direction;
c. the possibility of a one month membership marathon.
The decision to proceed with any or all of the above is solely at the discretion of Adridharana and
Sridhar Maharaj, the monitor.
Sridhar Maharaj will act as the arbitrator of this agreement in the event of conflicts. It will be
reviewed again by a GBC sub-committee in Mayapur in 1995.
Sridhar Maharaj will be the monitor for negotiating an improvement in the bus tours. He will select
the devotee who can access the fixed deposit to cover Mayapur’s monthly maintenance should
Adridharana fall behind.
41. That the 1994-95 Annual Fee Assessment List is accepted. The budget for the year is approved as
follows:
Executive Committee expenses

$160,000 – Global Centennial Fund
Funds raised by ISKCON centers for the Samadhi Completion Fund will be credited against their
Samadhi Assessment (current and future).
The Centennial team will work with local ISKCON Centers to provide materials and guidelines for
the campaign including guidelines for integrating the Global Centennial Campaign with local and
regional Centennial campaigns. In return the local ISKCON Centers will pledge a mutually agreed
percentage of general funds (not ear-marked for Samadhi or Temple) raised to the Global Centennial
Fund.
48. That an advisory committee is established to set guidelines for Centennial activities in the area of

49. Whereas it is the obligation of Srila Prabhupada’s disciples and grand-disciples to bring their
godbrothers and godsisters back into the practice of Krishna Consciousness; into the house which
Srila Prabhupada built for the whole world to live in, as a service to His Divine Grace;

Whereas several successful attempts, especially in the form of devotee reunions, have already
brought back a number of Prabhupada’s disciples and grand disciples, who revived their
Prabhupada consciousness and their spiritual practices;
Whereas having as many as possible of his disciples and grand disciples around his lotus feet in 1996
would be the most pleasurable Centennial offering to His Divine Grace;
It is resolved that the members of the GBC reaffirm their commitment to try to recover devotees who
have neglected their spiritual practices as affirmed in the following resolution passed in 1977 in the
presence of Srila Prabhupada.
“Each GBC man is responsible to try to recover the not fully active devotees living in his zone.”

Family petal of the Centennial to:

– Distribute gifts, public newsletter, etc.

communities will be established by the Petal Co-ordinator for Uniting Prabhupada’s Family. The

publisher of this newsletter.
52. That the Centennial Ministry may publish a Srila Prabhupada Disciple Reunion Book with
photos and information, including personal realizations, for the Maha Reunion which will be held
