Hare Krishna

Hare Krishna is a popular spiritual movement that stems from Hinduism and focuses on the worship of Lord Krishna, an incarnation of the supreme deity. Founded in the 1960s by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, its followers practice bhakti yoga—devotional service to God—through chanting the Hare Krishna mantra, which promotes love and devotion. The movement emphasizes principles such as compassion, respect for all living beings, and a vegetarian lifestyle. It aims to cultivate a deeper spiritual understanding and connection with the divine, encouraging participants to lead lives centered around devotion and community.
