The World Of Hare Krishna

The Hare Krishna movement, also known as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), is a spiritual movement that worships Krishna as the Supreme God and Lord of the universe.

The video talks about a spiritual teacher named Srila Prabhupada who founded ISKCON. Srila Prabhupada traveled to America in 1965 to spread the teachings of Krishna Consciousness. He translated the Vedic scriptures from Sanskrit and Bengali into English and wrote elaborate commentaries. These literatures are the philosophical basis of the Hare Krishna movement.

The core principle of Hare Krishna movement is that everyone is a spiritual being, a servant of God. Chanting the names of God is the essence of Krishna Consciousness. Devotees believe that by chanting Hare Krishna, one can achieve self-realization and liberation.

The video showcases how Hare Krishna devotees practice their faith around the world. Devotees run temples, distribute holy names, cook and distribute prasadam (food offered to Krishna), and hold festivals.

The Hare Krishna movement emphasizes living a simple and natural life. Devotees run farms where they grow their own food and live in communities. They believe that true peace and prosperity can be achieved by living in harmony with nature and God.
