encouraging devotees by recognizing
their chanting and spiritual standards.

increase their spiritual practices.
Also offers a system to identify those who are
serious about advancing in Krishna
consciousness.
It is supported by an ISKCON GBC resolution
since 1997

5. 1. ISKCON Leaders and GBC Members (with the exception of
ISKCON initiating spiritual masters who cannot
perform this ceremony except when it is for an approved
guru-asraya (sheltered) or approved aspirant
disciple) shall, within their area of authority, be permitted to
publicly bestow acceptance and recognition to
members of its congregation for devotional achievements
and progress in devotional service.
2. Local temples and congregational preaching units should
implement programs for aiding the congregational
members to enhance their standing, and for training
them to qualify for the higher levels. This should include
following a recommended study course for the different levels
(Adult Education and Congregational
Preaching Monitors shall recommend.)
