From the GBC Executive Committee

Dear Devotees,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

It has come to our attention that an idea is circulating that the GBC Body has overturned the CPO’s ruling in a recent case.

We wish to clarify that the GBC Body, by its own rules, does not have the authority to overturn a ruling by the Child Protection Office. A verdict can only be changed if the accused is granted an appeal by the CPO. No exceptions are acceptable in this regard.

The GBC Body regularly reviews the CPO manual, and in some case, it has made changes to ensure the best possible modus operandi for the CPO.

In response to concerns that some aspects of the CPO’s operation may have been faulty, the GBC Body is duty-bound to undertake a further analysis of the CPO structure. For this purpose, we are in the process of forming a committee of experts to study our CPO procedures.

This does not in any way overturn the decisions already made by the CPO.

Please rest assured that we are committed to carrying out our service to Srila Prabhupada, and to the assembly of devotees, faithfully and earnestly.

Thank you very much.

Hare Krsna,

Your servants,

Madhu Sevita Das
Bhaktivaibhava Swami
Ramai Swami,
GBC Executive Committee

  • PAMHO. All glories to Srila Prabhpada.

    In my humble opinion, this ruling is very professional and at the same time spiritual. Indeed, I am not in a position to make an elaborate commentary on this matter, but I do respect what has been decided.

    Hare Krsna vaisnavas!!!
