Our Objectives

Hare Krishna Movement is a charitable society with the following objectives:

  1. To promote an understanding of the universal and axiomatic principles of sanatana-dharma and varnasrama-dharma as revealed through the Vedic scriptures and as particularly embodied by Vaishnavism, and to explain how these relate to the tradition generally called Hinduism.
  2. To counteract the portrayal of Hindu theology as either (a) exclusively impersonal or (b) impersonal at best (i.e. monistic, polytheistic, anthropomorphic, but never monotheistic).
  3. To counteract the general portrayal of the Vedic tradition as primitive and superstitious.
  4. To promote the study of religion in general (and Hinduism in particular) from the experiential and faith perspective as well as from (or in preference to) the empirical and academic point of view. (Exclusive adherence to the latter approach, which views beliefs and practices only in response to external factors, may undermine the philosophical integrity of a faith).
  5. To demonstrate the influence of the British on Hinduism, especially with reference to the reform movements, and how this may still colour our comprehension of the tradition.
  6. To redress the exclusive adherence to modern empiricism to date the history and development of Hinduism, neglecting to mention the opinions of the tradition itself.
  7. To establish understanding and appreciation of the principles behind the original caste system, i.e. varnashrama-dharma.
  8. To abolish other misconceptions about practices which fall under “dismissive designations” such as untouchabiltiy, ritual purity / pollution, child marriage, sati, image worship, the Hindu pantheon, the sacred cow, etc.
  9. To promote the prominence of certain historical figures. These would include Madhva, Ramanuja and Caitanya, perhaps mentioning the latter’s contribution as a social reformer (though He appeared well before the modern reform movements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries). In more recent history we could include the names of Bhaktivinoda, Bhaktisiddhanta and Çréla Prabhupäda.
  10. To demonstrate the relevance of the Vedic scriptures to personal, social and moral education and the issues it raises such as health, the environment, violence etc.
