Personal care, well supported.

Caitanya Avatāri Dāsa’s office helps coordinate the responsibilities that surround teaching, disciple guidance, congregational service and organizational leadership.

The office exists to support his multifaceted service as an initiating spiritual master, global preacher, gṛhastha mentor and organizational leader. Its purpose is to make spiritual care dependable while preserving the dignity and privacy of each devotee.

A devotee’s journey

Devotees may move from aspiring through shelter, first initiation and second initiation. The office keeps necessary information and communications together so mentors and leaders can offer appropriate follow-up before and after initiation.

The Śikṣā Committee’s assessment and recommendations are part of discerning readiness for shelter and initiation. The office coordinates and validates the process in line with the guidance of Caitanya Avatāri Dāsa and applicable ISKCON standards.

Confidentiality, clarity and sevā-bhāva guide the office’s work. Records serve relationships; they do not replace them.
