ISKCON official statement from the group represented by Madhu Pandit Prabhu and a committee of ISKCON’s GBC

Dear Vaishnavas,

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

What follows is a shared statement from the group represented by Madhu Pandit Prabhu and a
committee of ISKCON’s GBC.

Our two groups of Vaishnavas, all followers and servants of His Divine Grace A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, have met several times over the last few years and twice
in the last several months.

We do so out of a genuine desire to see if our differences can be reconciled and our purposes
harmonized.
We have understood through our ongoing conversations our similarities and differences, both
philosophical and in practice, with more clarity.  We recognize that we have much in common,
including our desire to serve Sri Krishna and the mission of Lord Caitanya and Srila Prabhupada
in spreading Krishna consciousness all over the world.

At the same time, there remain serious and essential differences between us. While we remain
hopeful that these differences can be resolved, we also recognize that the court case between us
is ongoing.

We have agreed to continue our dialogue and will meet again in a few months. We do so
realizing that the more we listen and try to understand the issues that separate us, the better
chance we have to find common ground.

In the meantime, we hope that devotees who are members of our two constituencies will
minimize any animosity towards each other.

Praying for the continued guidance of Lord Sri Krishna and Srila Prabhupada, we remain,

Your servants,

Bhaktivaibhava Swami                                   Madhu Pandit das
Jayapataka Swami                                          Stoka Krishna Swami
Gopal Krishna Goswami                                Canchalapati das
Bhanu Swami                                                   Jay Chaitanya das
