Vision
“Every devotee is spiritually happy and materially well-situated, positively identifying with ISKCON as a caring Society. Each devotee (a) responsibly looks after his or her diverse needs (b) can easily and successfully seek qualified help within the Society, and (c) wholeheartedly extends that care to Others.”
Mission
“We strive to:
(1) Ensure that the Vaishnava virtue of care pervades all aspects of the ISKCON Society.
(2) Support and provide specific care services that enhance the spiritual, emotional, physical and social well-being of all ISKCON members.”
