The Vaishnavi Ministry of North America aims to promote a culture of open-hearted empowerment for Vaishnavis through association, education, representation, support, and serviced empowerment. Our purpose is to uphold Srila Prahbupada’s legacy concerning Vaishnavis, encourage full facility for Vaishnavis to become strengthened by association through various sanga networks, promote devotional training for Vaishnavis, facilitate the Vaishnavi voice in diverse aspects of devotional life, increase opportunities for Vaishnavis to be fully engaged in devotional service according to their God-given talents and inclinations, develop an enduring network of personal support for Vaishnavis through guidelines, referrals, counseling, and friendship, and inspire women interested in bhakti.

Vaishnavi Ministry NA holds various online events and sangas to bring Vaishnavis together for devotional education and association. For example, the Vaishnavi Ministry hosted live interviews of many of Srila Prabhupada’s Vaishnavi disciples about their contribution to the new book, A Bond of Love: Srila Prabhupada and His Daughters. Vaishnavis, who listened, were touched by their heartfelt and inspiring recollections of their pastimes with Srila Prabhupada. Over the past year, the Vaishnavi Ministry has focused on providing ground-level support by establishing Vaishnavi Ministry Area Representatives for each temple community across North America. The ministry is also making strides in Intimate Partner Abuse prevention education. It aims to provide training and resources to temple leaders.
