The
International Society for Krishna Consciousness
(
ISKCON
), known
colloquially
as the
Hare Krishna movement
or
Hare Krishnas
, is a
Gaudiya Vaishnava
religious organization. ISKCON was founded in 1966 in New York City by
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
.
[2]
Its core beliefs are based on
Hindu scriptures
, particularly the
Bhagavad Gita
,
Bhagavata Purana
. ISKCON is "the largest and, arguably, most important branch" of Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition,
[3]
which has had adherents in India since the early 16th century and American and European
devotees
since the early 1900s.
[4]
ISKCON was formed to spread the practice of
Bhakti yoga
, the practice of love of God in which those involved (
bhaktas
) dedicate their thoughts and actions towards pleasing
Krishna
, whom they consider the
Supreme Lord
.
[5]
Its most rapid expansion in membership have been within India and (after the collapse of the Soviet Union) in Russia and other formerly Soviet-aligned states of Eastern Europe.
