ISKCON New Vrindaban’s Official Statement Regarding Sri Galima

Dear Devotees and Friends of ISKCON New Vrindaban,

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

ISKCON North American recently released a statement regarding the status of Sri Galima Dasa.

That statement is presented below:

“The North American Committee, comprised of North American GBC members and other leaders, maintains an unwavering commitment to protect our ISKCON children. We honor and enforce Office of Child Protection decisions and encourage and promote proactive measures to reduce risk for child abuse.

In 2000, lifetime restrictions were imposed on Sri Galima Dasa (aka Gary Gardner) regarding his relationship with ISKCON North America. We continue to maintain and enforce those restrictions in all our temples and communities within North America. He is restricted from any institutional roles of trusted authority and in leading any public worship.

The North American Committee
June 20, 2020″

The ISKCON New Vrindaban Board of Directors also reaffirm that the lifetime ban prohibiting Sri Galima from any interaction with ISKCON New Vrindaban remain intact and he is banned from ISKCON New Vrindaban property.

Thank you,
ISKCON New Vrindaban Board of Directors
