International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR
KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS
The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) belongs to the Gaudiya Vaishnava smapradaya, a monotheistic tradition within Vedic or Hindu culture. It is based on the Bhagavad Gita, the spiritual teachings spoken by Lord Krishna. ISKCON traces its spiritual lineage directly to the speaker of the sacred book, Lord Krishna, who is revered as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In the 15th century, a saint named Chaitanya Mahaprabhu revitalized the bhakti-yoga tradition by introducing an expansive spiritual movement that swept India. Central to this renaissance was Chaitanya’s emphasis on the chanting of Krishna’s name. The ISKCON logo is made up of  a lotus, holding a tilak of this sect, the acronym ISKCON supported by two horizontal bars and the registration symbol.
