By Parijata Devi Dasi,
Devotee Care (DC) is an important and growing initiative within ISKCON aimed at nurturing the well-being of devotees and fostering a culture of care and support within the ISKCON community. Rooted in the instructions of Srila Prabhupada, Devotee Care seeks to ensure that devotees feel valued, supported, and connected.
Devotee Care broadly addresses 12 Areas of Care, which together cover the holistic needs of a devotee: 1) Spiritual Life and Care, 2) Healthcare (Physical, Mental and Emotional), 3) Marriage, Sex and Relationships, 4) Child-rearing and Childcare, 5) Education and Training, 6) Career and Employment, 7) Financial Care, 8) Housing, 9) Travel and Immigration, 10) Consumer and Lifestyle, 11) Legal and Civic Care, and 12) Mediation Advice.
At the heart of this initiative is the vision of building a caring and spiritually nourishing community for all devotees. According to Gauranga Das, DC Global Director, “Devotee Care is an expression of Vaishnava culture, where devotees support one another with sincerity, compassion, and practical care, helping create an environment in which devotees can remain inspired and steady in their Krishna consciousness.”
