vrndavan parkerUSAI agree with most of this except the idea of taking all weapons away. I mean since it is dangerous good people need to be armed. otherwise it will only be maoists as in nepal and the thugs that will fearlessly march unimpeded.

Haripriya MirajkarAustralia/New ZealandShri Vrindavan dham is our treasure, our worship, the topmost abode. We must protect Shri Vrindavan, not EXPLOIT it.
Arjuna Vallabha dasPolandVrindavan!
Nisha Lad United States of America I was personally touched by Lila's story. Although never met her, I feel like I know Lila after reading so much about her. Matters are ignored up to a certain degree in society. Lila's passing has brought to surface an urgent and necessary concern: Safety within Vrindavan. No one should ever have to be afraid while in Vrindavan. Vrindavan is the universal home of all living beings. India is blessed to have Vrindavan within its boundaries, and therefore, India has a special responsibility to ensure the protection of all residents and visitors of this most magnificent dham. Let us all take this opportunity to make some positive changes.
satvata dasaBrasil, USA AlachuaVrindavan is the most holy place of all place of pilgrimage. And must be the must safe too. But we devotee must be carefull too, and know how to take care of our self.
chitraketuINDIAVery nice to see somebody actually “doing something” and coming up with the petition idea, and thank you for making me and all of us a part of making a difference in a beautiful place like vrindavan. Apart from this we all individually should take responsibility, otherwise even this petition won’t help......there are so many ways........ that can be our attitude when we are in vrindavan, that can be who we hang out with, that can be what we do when we are there etc....all these make a big difference because we the young generations are setting an example and a lot of the people there look up to us....are you aware of this and take your responsibility as an individual?
Caitanya devi dasi Alachua, FL, USAUSAI have known several women who have been attacked, robbed, and beaten by local youth and gundas in Vrindavan. Just because these ladies are foreigners does not mean the police should turn their heads. It is an outrage that innocent visitors and pilgrims visiting Vrindavan (the most holy site in all of India) that the government is allowing such such corruption and violence to take place.
Neel-Gopal SharmaU.S.Vrindavana is a one of a kind place. A place where faith thrives and where people from all over the world can share that faith. I live in the U.S. and Vrindavana is my sanctuary away from this material world.
Cori Churdar-WilejtoUSAI have been visiting Vrindavan for the past 8 years, and have seen the rapid decline in cleanliness and safety as very unfortunate. Lila had been stalked by her murderer, and this was reported to the local authorities (who refused to do anything about it). The local police are very corrupt and will not lift a finger if they can't personally profit from actually doing their job. Vrindavan has a large number of foreign visitors and residents and the Government of India should step in to ensure that they are safe and protected.
Jit ChoongAustraliaPlease make Vrndavan safe! Hare Krishna !
Gaura JollyINDIA VrindavanWe all miss you, Lila! Kana and Kishori, me and my hubby. We love you.
Yula BlecherAustraliaSite of such a major historic and religious nature should be made safe for tourists and nationals and protection provided to pilgrims
David Carl Reymore M.Panama, Republic of Panama, Central AmericaThe goverment should be envolved, security within the sacred land of India is something to be restored, specially in Sri Vrindavan dhama, Uttar Pradesh. What else should happen, for you to do something? Haribol
Tracey ChampQLD, AustraliaEnd the corruption and support the pilgrims visiting the holy dhama.
Michael HastieAustraliaWe wish every success in this regard..what an important campaign!
Nadia ShawAustraliaMay Krishna bless this campaign...all our love to Lila and her family.
Ranveer SinghIndiaGovt. should take stringent action against the culprits.In india our guest is our god.So whoever (let it be government emplyee, local residents) is not complying this theory is the culprit. We individually can contribute & try to make the Vrindavan safe. Being a Brij residents i have seen many Auto drivers asking more money from Tourists, i always tried to expalain the importance of tourist to Auto drivers that they are the bread & butter for them so they should treat them like our guest.
Ravinjay KuckrejaIndonesiaVrindavana is a Dhama and urgently needs to be safe. Make Vrindavana safe for devotees, the animals and also the deities and temples! Hari Bol!!!!
Apavrita devi dasiPolandI think that this is very important for everyone to make Vrindavan ( Holy Land ) safe, because every year so many dewotees of Krishna, pilgrims and visitors from India and different countries coming there. They shoul feel nice and comfortable, that they can do they spirytual ceremonies and travel peaceful. We should care for each others.
Saranam OlivierUSALaw Enforcement is a key piece to structure and growth in India. I was just saying this today. This young Vaisnavi was killed in cold blood. This was a sensless murder that could and should have been prevented. Thank you to the organizers of this petition. Hare Krsna.
Lori Pranada ComtoisUnited StatesI am a Vaishnava who has visited Vrindavan since 1980. Since that time Vrindavan has become a major destination for people of many religions. Please make this sacred place safe for the world.
David KerraustraliaHare Krishna, please don't let apathy persist
Sanjay UKVrindavan is regarded as a holy place and is certainly in need of security. It must be made a safe area whereby criminals and cranks must be prevented or severely restricted from carrying out their nefarious activities.
nama talentusaplease make this petition a reality. this would be a great service to all people who visit, live in, and hear about vrindavana dham
krsna viryaIndiaSri Vrindavan Dham should be safe....we have to do it for Lila, for us, for our kids,....for vraja bhumi.......for when we go there be able to be with krsna, think in His pastimes, associate with devotees and be happy..... Missing lila....her family the Holy Dham....and all of u vrijvasis.....jay sri radhe shyam!!!!!! Lila´s tragedy should not be a forgotten story....we should have her as our hero
Jaggi Suta DasEngland, UKI knew Lila a little bit during the last Kartik festival and well when i found out about her passing away, I felt so sad and shocked that not only has a gurukuli whose spirit and beauty shines and touches all has passed away, but also that this act of crime was able to take place in the Holy Dham of Braja. This sort of act should Never be able to happen again as Vrindavan is where Krsna performed so many activities and that if these sorts of Crimes continue in the Dham, well give or take a few years there isn't going to be a Holy dham in which people can go to have a truely spiritual, inspiring and uplifting time. It is going to become a place where people will live and stay in fear and well we get that enough in the west. Please find it in your heart and intellegence to secure vrindavan for the better. Thank you
Apratim DeAustraliaIt is a sad memory that has cast upon us forever ....the loss of such a beautiful gods pupil...may her soul rest in peace...
John J KeilyAustraliaThere is no excuse for attacks on the individual in any country which would call itself 'civilized'.
Steve CrispEnglandIn the Bhagavad-gita Krsna says: paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam dharma-samsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge "To deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I Myself appear, millennium after millennium." (Bhagavad-gita chapter 4 text 8) Krsna appeared 5000 years ago in Sri Vrndavan dham. We implore Her Excellency Smt. Pratibha Devisingh Patil to commit the resources of the Indian government to protect this holy place.
Rahul PatilAUSTRALIAHare Krishna to all, I personally feel that this can happen to any one's daughter. Your parents might visit Vrindavan when they grow old and such incidents will cause anxiety whether we should send parents or not due to security issues. So I humbly beg every devotee to sign the petition and support for making Vrindavan a safe dham.
gunamaiusaI think it very important that Vrindavan is recognized as a tourist destination due to the eternal spiritual significance of it being the birthplace of Lord Krishna. Unfortunately popular places attract both good and bad. The criminally inclined usually see it as an opportunity to take advantage of a good thing for their own cheating propensity. We all want the world to know about and visit Vrindavan but with more people passing thru, the bigger the need for good law enforcement. I hope also with this recognition that the standard of cleanliness, environmental awareness and the treatment of Cows and all animals will be improved, especially in this most spiritual of places it should be the highest example for India and the rest of the world. All here should feel safe and secure. Everyone will benefit.
Ramani Siromani Branramanixxi@yahoo.comAlthough I never met Lila personally, I saw her a few times in LA just last year and was shocked to learn what happened to her. Besides, I have been to Vrndavan Dham many times in the past, (and will continue to go there in the future), and I know how very dangerous it is there -unfortunately- especially for Western girls. My prayers are with Lila. Haribol.

Lalita GarrettusaPlease make Vrndavan safe.
Manjari GauthierUSAI've only had a chance to go to Vrindavan twice, and I'd like it to still be visitable when I'm ready to go again:)
Rose WhiteAustraliaKeep up the good work.
Greg Allard (Gargamuni das)United StatesGood can triumph over evil in this transient world if the leaders are conscious and strong enough to protect the innocent. Lila was innocent. Let's not let another tragedy like this happen again.
Christine NicoloffUSAThank you for bringing awareness to this very serious problem.
