CONTACTS prahladananda.swami@pamho.net
DATE OF SUBMISSION: May 25, 2014
PRESENTATION OF PROPOSAL:
Whereas ISKCON Gurus and other leaders may control assets of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
Whereas followers of ISKCON Gurus and leaders will naturally want to glorify those who inspire and/or initiate them in Krishna consciousness.
Whereas it is important that upon the departure of the aforementioned personalities ISKCON assets remain under the control of the appropriate ISKCON organization.
Whereas it is important that Srila Prabhupada’s pre-eminent position not be overshadowed by samadhis or other memorials for other personalities.
PRESENTATION OF RESOLUTION:
It is resolved that within 6 months of the passage of this resolution every ISKCON Guru/Sannyasi must submit a will that contains directions as to the disposition of the assets under his/her control, making sure that they remain under the control of an approved ISKCON organization.
This will must also detail the nature of any memorial to be constructed. Details must include, size, location, and worship to be done. It is important that limits be put on the size of such a memorial.
The GBC EC will review this will and instruct the Guru/Sannyas as to modifications that must be made in the will.
After making sure all the Gurus/Sannyasis are in compliance the GBC will work on a system to ensure an appropriate will is written for others that may control assets and have followers.
