Healing begins when the truth is acknowledged without defensiveness. The strength of those who have survived unimaginable hardship is a testament to the resilience of the soul.

Protecting Every Child Is a Sacred Responsibility
"The true measure of any spiritual community is not only how faithfully it teaches its philosophy, but how faithfully it protects those who place their trust within it."
A Sacred Duty
Every Child Deserves Safety, Love and Dignity
Every child is a precious soul, an eternal servant of Sri Krishna, deserving of love, protection, respect and the opportunity to grow in an environment free from fear, abuse and neglect.
A genuine spiritual community must reflect the values taught throughout the Vedic tradition—compassion, responsibility, honesty and care for every living being.
Protecting children is therefore not merely a legal obligation or an institutional responsibility. It is a sacred duty.
Justice For Srila Prabhupada Foundation is committed to advocating for the rights, safety and well-being of children who have experienced abuse within ISKCON schools while supporting efforts that help create safer environments for future generations.
Why This Matters
Srila Prabhupada envisioned devotional communities where children would be educated with affection, spiritual guidance and exemplary care.
When abuse occurs, it causes profound harm—not only to the individual child, but also to families, communities and the trust upon which spiritual life depends.
Responding with honesty, compassion and accountability is essential to restoring confidence.

Community Voice
We Are Here For You
Confidential Support
If you or someone you know has experienced abuse within an ISKCON educational institution and wishes to seek assistance, you may confidentially contact the Foundation's appointed Administrator.
info@justiceforsrilaprabhupadafoundation.orgThis confidential service is provided without charge in furtherance of the Foundation's charitable mission.

Prevention First
Advocacy Through Education
Prevention begins with education. The Foundation supports educational initiatives that encourage:
Child safeguarding awareness
Appropriate reporting procedures
Healthy leadership practices
Respect for personal dignity
Community responsibility
Ongoing education for parents, teachers and caregivers
By increasing awareness, we hope to contribute to devotional communities in which every child is protected and every family feels secure.
Relevant Legal Information
The Foundation recognises the importance of applicable child protection laws and encourages compliance with all relevant legal obligations.
Resources relating to child safeguarding, including information regarding The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (India) and other relevant legal frameworks, are provided for educational purposes.
The Foundation encourages individuals to seek independent legal advice where necessary.
A Culture of Accountability
Healthy communities are built upon trust. Trust grows when leaders act transparently, institutions respond responsibly and concerns are addressed with honesty and compassion.
The Foundation believes that accountability strengthens—not weakens—a spiritual community.
Protecting children should never be viewed as separate from devotional service. It is an essential expression of it.
Our Hope
Looking Forward
Every child deserves the opportunity to experience Krishna consciousness in an environment filled with kindness, encouragement and genuine spiritual care.
Our hope is not merely to respond to past suffering, but to help create a future in which abuse is prevented, survivors are supported and devotional communities become places of complete safety and trust.
Inspired by Srila Prabhupada's example of compassion and service, Justice For Srila Prabhupada Foundation remains committed to working toward that goal with humility, professionalism and unwavering dedication.
May every child be protected.
May every family find hope.
May every community be strengthened through truth and compassion.
