ISKCON Leadership Sanga 2023 Announcement

Hare Krishna! Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Envision a gathering of 1500 ecstatic devotees, present and future leaders of Lord Caitanya’s mission from all over the world. Imagine the sound of their joyful chanting of the Lord’s holy name, their association while honoring prasadam in the heart of Sridham Mayapur. They are coming together, formulating, and creating exciting and enlivening ideas and considering strategies to help ISKCON realize Srila Prabhupada’s desire for more devotees and happier devotees. This is the vision of the ISKCON Leadership Sanga, ILS 2023.

In pursuit of that positive spiritual future, we are planning for our 6th ILS gathering and you should be part of it.

For many the spread of COVID-19 — the inconvenience and concomitant losses experienced during the pandemic – have led to a fresh appreciation for the privilege of live sadhu sanga. Devotees globally, with undeterred determination and innovation, have opened many new outreach fields via the Internet. Working together through this common threat has generated a worldwide unity which has sustained devotees and perhaps kindled a long-lasting enthusiasm to expand Srila Prabhupada’s broad vision of offering Krishna consciousness to the world. But although we are very grateful for our virtual lives, we are eager, as much as practical, to once again engage in the dynamic aspects of personal, loving, Vaishnava association.

One of our main themes for this ILS will be to explore Srila Prabhupada’s leadership and managerial mandates and offer opportunities for leadership training. We will bring together ISKCON’s visionaries, sharing our time and our hearts, in a dynamic effort to spread Krishna Consciousness to others and strengthen Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON.

The dates have not yet been set, but are expected to be in February 2023.  Plans are underway and therefore we want to keep in touch with you regularly during the following year. To facilitate this, please pre-enroll. Pre-enrollment will help us plan and will allow us to keep you informed as the situation evolves.

While planning for ILS 2023 continues, it is important to keep the goals of ILS alive and continue to infuse ISKCON’s leadership with training and education.  Since the GBC SPT has had great success in creating quality virtual media experience, during the gap year we will offer intermittent dynamic content to foster better understanding of Srila Prabhupada’s leadership strategies and other information that will assist ISKCON leaders in their service.  These will be broadcast via our already established virtual channels. We hope you take advantage of “ILS-V”  throughout 2022.

We are looking forward to ILS 2023 and hope to see you there. No matter what lies ahead we will work together to lead ISKCON into an energetic and productive future.

Your servants,
GBC Strategic Planning Team
