Your signatures will likely reach close to 1000 names within the first 24 hours of sharing this Public Service Announcement and Petition to the GBC. It is important to understand that current Child Protection Bylaws ban Dhanurdhar from holding any position of leadership and authority within ISKCON and also prevents him from being in proximity of children. Along with our request to uphold these bylaws, we request specific action by the local Vrindavan management. The current bylaws do not ban him from entering ISKCON properties. The Bylaws clearly state that they are minimum guidelines; local management can make further restrictions upon him. This update is a specific call for a FULL PROPERTY BAN in ISKCON Vrindavan and MVT (Mayapur Vrindavan Trust, established by Srila Prabhupad).  These properties surround the very scene of his crimes and traumatic history of Vrindavan Gurukula. Please allow these Vrindavan facilities to serve as Srila Prabhupad’s shelter and sanctuary for all of us, including Vrindavan Gurukula Veterans, rather than a constant horrific reminder, by seeing him face to face on these grounds. Please allow us to heal and appreciate the mood of Vrindavan in these facilities without concern for his activities. 

Please continue to sign and share widely, so that we may reach this goal. It is important for both International management and local management to understand the public interest.

Sincerely,

Krishna Devata devi dasi
