ISKCON Devotees’ Right to Vote

Hare Krishna
Please our humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) movement aims at awakening love of God within the heart of everyone and reviving their eternal relationship with God. The knowledge of Krishna Consciousness has been transmitted through an unbroken chain of teachers and students stemming from the Lord Himself, and has been presented in its original unadulterated form by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Without following his instructions, we will be awakening the deep rooted lust, greed, anger, pride, illusion and envy within our hearts instead of love to God as we have seen in the numerous grievances around the ISKCON world.

In his many letters of correspondence to his disciples he has specifically stated the need to have election to select a temple president in each temple around the world. However, this simple instruction has been neglected for years causing exploitation, corruption, greed, disempowerment of members, leaders lording over devotees and materialism of the society.

The leaders in our society who are not elected by the congregation members are getting more puffed up and refuse to listen to our grievances and cries. They paint rosy pictures to their GBC and often times we cannot bring up issues with the GBCs due to their tight schedule and interference of local management.

We need a change to take place, and we have a right to do just that by simply signing this petition. All we are saying is let us decide who should be our leaders. An election will humble the leaders and make them more caring leaders. If we can show how we all stand on this issue to the ISKCON GBC, the change will happen.

Please show your support by signing out online petition and encouraging more devotees to do so as well.

ISKCON Devotees’ Right To Vote

It has been 30 years since we have lost our right to vote. It is time to claim that right.
