The Sastric Advisory Council (SAC) is a permanent body of senior and trusted ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) devotees, proven as brahminically qualified, that offers input to the GBC (Governing Body Commission) Body according to scripture, philosophy and realization. The SAC serves the GBC Body in an exclusively advisory capacity, both on the GBC's request as well as on the SAC's own initiative as approved by the GBC EC (Executive Committee). The conclusions and advice of the SAC are in no way binding on the GBC Body.
