The ISKCON Constitution defines the global members of ISKCON as follows:
Whoever subscribes to the following Affirmation Statement shall be accepted as a Global Member of ISKCON:
“I wish to be counted as part of the spiritual family of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), and I will practically support its mission. I accept the teachings of Lord Krishna as presented by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, Founder-Ācārya of ISKCON. I am grateful to participate in this spiritual movement intended for the upliftment of the entire human society.”Global Membership in ISKCON is open to all without discrimination of any kind, including but not limited to considerations of race, gender, ethnicity, nationality, or religion.
By registering your ISKCON membership with ISKCON Connection you are agreeing to the affirmation statement above.
There are no formalities required and there is no payment required. If you simply accept the teachings of Sri Krishna as presented by our founder, His Divine Grace Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, and are willing to participate in ISKCON's activities and practically support it's mission, you are accepted as a member of the ISKCON family.
It's as simple as that.
