Theresa ColsonUSAPlease help support this spiritual community by making Vrindavan safe for travelers and visitors.
Dr. Ranjeet SinghUK.A place of pilgrimage is a place of pilgrimage. What have criminals got to do there? Why should they be active there?
RAHUL DHALLINDIADharma ki jai ho(Let religion be victorious) ...Adharam ka naash ho(Let the irreligion be destroyed)...Praniyon main satbhavana ho(Let there be friendship and peace between the people)...vishwa ka kalyaan ho(Let the whole world move on the right path)....Gau mata ki seva ho(Let the mother cow be protected)...bharat mata ki jai ho(Let the holy land of Bharata be victorious)...?? These are the prayers which I have been hearing since childhood growing up in India...none of it can materialize if Vrindavan dham is not protected properly by the government and people in general. Please...please... please do something....NOW!!
Radha McNamaraUSAthis matter is very important and dear to my heart. Lets bring some good to this tragedy and teach respect and protection of women. Where women are respected and protected children are loved and protected and the whole society benefits.
HEMANT KUMARUnites KingdomIF INDIAN GOVERNMENT CAN NOT PROTECT THE VISITIRS AT PILGRIMAGE AND TOURIST SITES HOW CAN THEY EXPECT TO FLOURISH THE TOURISM? SUCH EVENTS DEFINATELY TARNISHING THE IMAGE OF INDIA AND HAVE GIVEN BAD NAME TO OUR NATION DUE TO CORRUPT POLITICS AND SYSTEM PREVAILED IN INDIA. GOD SAVE INDIA FROM CIRRUPT POLITICS, SYSTEM AND POLITICIANS WHO HAVE GIVEN BIRTH TO LAWLESSNESS!
Pariksit DasaUSAKrsna's place for his lila must be protected. Please place law enforcement officials in Vrindavana without delay.
Ashtapriya Devi DasiUSAAll glories to the assemble of devotees! All glories to Sridham Vrndavana!
Rajaram VenkataramaniUnited KingdomIndia is not a safe country overall and needs proper governance.
Loretta HillAustraliaNo mother should go through what Lila's mother is going through. I hope the Indian Government do enforce more safety procedures to ensure devotees can go to Vrindavan with a free mind and not worry about something so terrible happening to them. We truly support this initiative. Wishing for a safe life and well being for everyone .
Radha StegichUSAPlease make Vrindavan Dham a safe place for devotees from all over the world!
fco.Javier Acero SpainMe gusto mucho su ciudad, y espero poder regresar a ella en paz y seguridad.
Christi Carrillo (Kaisori dd)MexicoAs an international visitor to Vrindavan, I appeal to you to ensure the safety of all pilgrims who come in increasing numbers each year to Vrindavan. Not only Lila went through the most horrible crime, but I have personally heard many stories from devotees and tourists who have been attacked at gunpoint in Vrindavan. You must enforce law and order, and make sure this does not happen again. Thank you for your cooperation. Christi Carrillo (Kaisori dd)
Kirticandra Dasa (Andrei Bocharnikov)RussiaPlease do something! It is land of Krishna.
apavrta devi dasimexicoPlease make more secure Sri Vrdaban dham, is a holy place and we should keep like that, holy.
Kaliya Damona DasusaI am so sorry this has happened. I hope you and other key leaders will implement facotors to reduce and control this lawlessness. As you know it is also your responsibility as a leader to protect the Brahmanas, elders, and children. Sounds like this is not happenening here. Please do your part. Namaste, Kaliya Damona Das
Subir BanerjeeNew Delhi, IndiaWe all go through some sorrow or the other in life, at various stages, but to lose one's child is the greatest sorrow, a depression that is difficult to come out of. I am terribly sad to learn of the incident. May Lord Krishna bless her soul. As you grieve for her, you are burning your stock of bad karma. If you persist in your path of Krishna Bhakti despite these challenges- a very difficult thing to do in the face of odds- you would have earned for yourself, your family, departed daughter a promotion in Lord Krishna's tracker of devotees. As you persevere in this path of Krishna Bhakti, please take a moment to reflect on Draupadi's insult in an open assembly of males, the killing of Arjuna's son in a deceitful manner, and later the beheading of five more of his sons, and so on- the challenges Krishna's devotees face and through that teach us the art of resilience and detachment. Trust me, your daughter's departure may look unjust, but she is safe on her journey back to Godhead, into a life of eternal bliss. Her next life would be rosy and full of joy and have much fewer challenges, as she receives greater and greater protection from Lord Krishna on her eternal journey back home. Jai Sri Radhe! Jai Sri-Sri Radha-Krishna!! My obeisances to my Guru Maharaj and the devotees of the Lord
david brittobrazilplease make vrindavan a more safe place and a tourist place
Amara dasMexicoCondolences to the family of Lila Salter . May Krsna keep beside Him and protect her family. It is necessary to clean criminal. Vrndavan must be a peaceful place to stay and to live for spiritual advancement. It is inadmissible, the entire "adventure" to go to India. It seems to me like India is full of rascals and thieves. If you go to India you must be alert. The abuse from the taxi drivers in the airport, in the train station, abuses buying anything and in holy places, it is worst. It must be changed. If I go with my wife to Vrndavan, What do Ido? Carry a weapon? Or What do you do? It is the duty of the goverment to do something to make Vrndavan (and the way to) safe. Radhe Radhe. All glories to Sri Vrndavan Dham
Angel Oscar Aveldano (Omkara Das)SpainI am so mach please to see that there is a movement to stop the corrupsion in Vrindavan. Thanks
Prashant MalikIndiaDear Mrs. Patil, I do not have words to express my concern to make Vrindavan a safe place for all devotees. But down on my keens, put my head on your feet and with folded hands, I beg you to do something. Hare Krishna Prashant
Madana-gopal dasAustraliaCondolences to the family who started this petition. I have visited Vrndavana and agree that local crime is a very serious concern and requires urgent attention. Please act for the wellbeing of those who would like to go to Vrndavana for a holy pilgramage.
kurvanti devi dasiU.S.A.so sorry for your loss Prabhus
Sivam RamalingamUSAHare Krishna
Christian Jansen / Vedavyasa DasaSpainVrindavana should be a source of spirtual upliftment, not a haven for mundane, wretched people. It is our duty, and in particular the duty of India's leaders, to preserve its purity and not allow criminals to contaminate Krishna's abode.
Priya Shaki Devi Dasispain/india(vrindavan)I am a great lover of Vrindavan and am personally involved in health care and child protection in Vrindavan> I had personal experience of this case and was a witness to the fact that Lila was brutalised through rape as I had to the state of Lilas body along with the local superintendant of police. It was a great injustice the way this case was handled. However this is only one of many cases which I have personally seen of crime which has been taken very lightly by local authorities. I hope and pray that something will be done so that Vrindavan can be a safe place with world class law and order so that people from all over India and all over the world can visit and reside here in peace and safety. Please special attention should be given to enforcing very strict protection for women, children and elderly....Please India preserve your culture and uphold your good name and the good name of your culture. Vrindavan is a unique place never to be found anywhere else on this planet, respect it and respect it's pilgrims and residents.
Nikolai ChipovalovCanadaPlease protect Vrindavan - it our eternal home, and every year more and more people from around the world are realizing it - it is time for the government of India to acknowledge this as well.
Dr M R SairamCanadaSuch historic and places of worship should be protected at all costs
christelle jolicoeurcanadait is important to know ower heritage that has been left from Krishna , but it is also important that it is done in a peaceful environment ! thank you
Nirmal CanadaPlease enforce a safer community
Oscar MendezCanadaPlease take the necessary measures to ensure the security of anyone who chooses to visit this Holiest of places. Special attention must be giving to the protection of western girls, for they are exotic prey for this deranged individuals. HARE KRISHNA!!!
Dina Bandhuu.s.a.The Mathura-Vrindavan district (Sri Vraja Mandala) of Uttar Pradesh is one of Bharata's greatest treasures since it is the home of Sri Krishna. Please, therefore, follow in the footsteps of Bhagavad Gita and establish here Law and Order: yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata abhyutthanam adharmasya tadatmanam srijamy aham "Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion—at that time I descend Myself."
nirmalUSAyes, we have to take further steps to prevent this. i am with you all.
Rodolfo MorenoMexicoPlease make of Vrindavan a Sacred Place no more drugs and weapons!
Dr Bharat Mohan TiwariindiaThere're many more such events in Shri Vraja Dham.But the administration isn't just addressing it. Even the sanitation is woefully neglected.kindly address these issues urgently
Sunil GautamINDIAI WISH our hounrable President Notice it as soon as possible. Because this effort will ensure the safety of """""DEVOTEES OF LORD KRISHNA AND VRINDABAN DHAM"""""""

Brian CampbellUSAplease help to keep India safe, not only for visitors but for everyone!
Darren LallooUSAMake Vrindavan Dham safe!
A.V.MishraIndiaI fully agree with the prayer in the petition. Its most unfortunate that such demons still exist in Vrindavan. The Government of India must act and take measures so that a devotional atmosphere of Bhakti may be created in Vrindavan, which alone can save mankind from the ill effects of this ghor Kaliyuga.
C.N.AnanthakrishnanIndiaLaw and order is the need of the day. Self-discipline, self-restraint and self-control are also in short supply.
Pooja VindiaSpiritually Krsna is the protector of All but in this kaliyuga everyone doesnt understand this and continues spreading violence,crime,threat etc for that again there are some responsible people alloted to stop that or if not stop atleast secure that particular area.Why are the weapons so easily illegally available???Its d most sad thing for any human being to visit the holy dham or any other tourist place with fear,insecurity and being unsafe and unfortunately we have to request the Government for better security,policeforce who are genuinely commited, sincere and ofcourse we visitors also have to be careful with whom we should associate and not.Please help do something no parent or no youth would visit the cultural and ancient places if this still continues..Thank you
Vaishali PatankarINDIADear President, I am a transportation professional working in US. I am also a member of ISKCON. India's culture is greatly admired in the West. It is considered a land of spirituality . Spirituality is practiced since time immemorial in India based on the Vedas. It is divine. We have rich knowledge to provide to the world through Vedic scriptures. I highly appreciate if the Govt. of India can do the needful so that people can be relieved of the sufferings of life. That will be a greatest deed to relieve the pangs of material miseries for everyone. Hare Krishna Your servant in the service of Krishna. Vaishali Patankar
Janaki VallabhaUSAIts very clear that Vrindavan needs more security Its not the same as it was 10 or 30 years. So many tourist visit there each year and it essential for everyone action is taken.
Anneliese Muntau / Astasiddhi devi dasiSwedenHare Krishna, as Sri Vrindavana Dham is of the greatest importance for sincere pilgrims such as the international followers of HDG A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the safety in Vrindavana is extremely important.The Western devotees of Sri Krishna increase all the time in number, because of the missionary activities of the devotees in the West. That means, there will also be a steady increase in the number of tourists, coming on pilgrimage to Vrindavana from the West. Some also settle there to perform service.These devotees come to gain inspiration and strength for their devotional life and missionary work of spreading Lord Sri Krishnas glories in the West, and all protection should be given to them. Sri Vrindavana Dham has had a bad reputation for being without proper law and order and corrupt for many years, and it would be of greatest value, if responsible persons in the government could help to change that situation.
robert kennethusawe implore to serously into this matter as more and more people are visiting India as they realize its great spiritual heritage
Karthikeya VenkatesanUSAIt is responsibility of Government to provide security and proper infrastructure for safety of citizens and tourists. Because so many pilgrims visit the Holy city of Vrindavan -Urgent Measures are needed to Ensure a Safe, Clean and Friendly experience. Jai Sri Krishna!
