ISKCON
The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), otherwise known as the Hare Krishna movement, was established in 1966 by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. In the fifty-plus years since then it has flourished into a worldwide community of devotees practicing Krishna Consciousness, or loving devotional service to Krishna. Today ISKCON includes over six hundred and fifty major centers, temples and rural communities all around the world. ISKCON belongs to the Gaudiya-Vaishnava sampradaya lineage , a monotheistic tradition within the Vedic or Hindu culture. Srila Prabhupada worked tirelessly to translate the main Vaisnava scriptures and their commentaries into English, and the great potency of his books is due to his resolute loyalty to the teachings of this authentic, unbroken lineage.
