From the Governing Body Commission of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness
(Editor’s note: This is the 320 of the 2014 GBC resolutions. You can find the Minutes Of The 2014 Annual General Meeting in our archives section or directly here)
Whereas there is a need to recognize as general members those who wish to identify with the spiritual family of ISKCON,
Whereas such recognition should include some basic parameters,
Whereas such recognition should not involve any legal rights for the general members,
RESOLVED:
Whoever, regardless of gender, race, nationality, religion, etc., subscribes to the following statement, shall be considered a general member of ISKCON:
“I wish to be counted as part of the spiritual family of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), and I will practically support its mission. I accept the teachings of Lord Krishna as presented by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acarya of ISKCON.
“While I understand that this general membership does not confer upon me any rights in ISKCON organizations, I am grateful to participate in this spiritual movement intended for the upliftment of the entire human society.”
