Srila Prabhupada is the founder of the International Society of Krishna Consciousness, also known as either ISKCON or Hare Krishnas. Srila Prabhupada came to New York in 1965 to bring Gaudiya Vaishnavism to America. Vaishnava is a branch of Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma (the eternal truth) as many prefer to call Hinduism. It focuses on Vishnu (i.e., Rama and Krishna, who were avatars of Vishnu) as the supreme God. Apparently Gaudiya Vaishnavism was founded “around 1510 with an ascetic who took the name Sri Krishna Caitanya. This devotee of Krishna became renowned for his ecstatic devotion, expressed in dance and song. His disciples believed Caitanya to be manifestation of Krishna himself, and established a movement based on his inspiration.”

What a load of complete blah blah from this ‘white hindu’. “Vaishnava is a branch of Hinduism”??? How did it ever get onto this forum!
BTW it would be in order to have a beautiful photo of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada plus his full title prominently in the ‘masthead’ at the top of the forum homepage. When my wife, Jamuna Jaya dd first checked the Prabhupadanugas.eu, she immediately commented..”where is Srila Prabhupada’s photo and title?”
