Srila Prabhupada circled the  globe  14 times spreading the   teachings of Lord Krishna. People from  all  backgrounds and walks of  life  came forward to accept his message.  With  their help, Srila Prabhupada  established temples, farm  communities, a publishing house,  and  educational institutions around  the world. And,  he began what has  now  become the world’s largest  vegetarian food relief  program, Hare  Krishna  Food for Life. He  authored over 70 volumes of  books on the  Vaisnava  tradition, which  are highly respected by scholars  for their  authority,  depth, fidelity  to the tradition, and clarity.  His writings  have been  translated  into 76 languages. His most prominent  works  include:  Bhagavad-gita As  It Is, Srimad-Bhagavatam, and Sri   Caitanya-caritamrita. | International Society for Krishna Consciousness, also  popularly  known as the Hare Krishna movement is a spiritual society  founded by  His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in July  1966 in  New York. ISKCON belongs to the Gaudiya-Vaishnava sampradaya, a   monotheistic tradition within Vedic culture. Today ISKCON comprises of   more than 400 temples, 40 rural communities and over 100 vegetarian   restaurants. The aim of ISKCON is to acquaint all  people of the world with  universal principles of self-realization and  God consciousness so that  they may derive the highest benefit of  spiritual understanding, unity  and peace. The Vedic literature recommend  that in the present age of  Kali-yuga the most effective means of  achieving self-realization is  always hear about, glorify, and remember  the all-attractive Supreme  Lord Sri Krishna. Therefore, it recommends  the chanting of the Holy  Names: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna  Krishna Hare Hare / Hare Rama  Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. This  sublime chanting puts the chanter  directly in touch with the Supreme  Lord through the sound vibration of  His Holy Name. ISKCON  follows the teachings of the Vedas and Vedic scriptures,  including the  Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam which teach  Vaishnavism or devotion  to God (Krishna) in His Supreme Personal aspect  of Sri Sri Radha  Krishna. These teachings are received through the  preceptorial line known as  the Brahma-Madhav-Gaudiya Vaishnava  sampradaya. ISKCON is part of the  disciplic succession which started  with Lord Krishna Himself and  continued with Srila Vyasadeva, Srila  Madhavacharya, Sri Caitanya  Mahaprabhu and in the present day His Divine  Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta  Swami Prabhupada and his followers. ISKCON’s  teachings are non-sectarian, following the principle of  sanatana dharma  or eternal religion, which denotes the eternal activity  of all living  beings – loving devotional service (bhakti-yoga) to  Supreme
