Which groups or sects follow Acintya Bheda Abheda of Chaitanya. Is this school of Vedanta only followed by ISKON or are there other recognised groups?

Does ISKON's philosophy differ from Chaitanya's or any other group?

Links to sites which might answer my question, would be appreciated. Thank you.

As far as i know mainly gaudiya vaishnava follow Acintya Bheda Abheda of Chaitanya MahaPrabhu.

In fact Iskcon is branchout from Gaudiya

simply google it and you will find your answer

Thank you Ganeshprasad
I am not sure how my searches missed connecting the two, so I am grateful for your reply.

I still have an elementary overview of Sanatana Dharma denominations and sects. I am hoping to find some statistics of the number of followers per group. It is interesting as I am enjoying seeing the parts of the whole fit together.

Dandavat Pranamas, GaneshPrasad Prabhu !

Yes you are correct.

ISKCON along with all of our Gaudiya Mathas essentially follow Acintya-BhedA-Bheda Sidhhanta. It is one of the 10 sidhantas prescribed by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu to us.

These 10 sidhantas form the basic sidhantas (Dasa-Mula) in our Sampradaya (Sri Brahma-Madhava-Caitanya-Gaudiya Vaisnava Sampradaya).

All glories to SriSri Radha-Krsna !

Iskcon is an unorthodox offshoot of Gaudiya Vaishnavism. They have some teachings that are not in line with other sampradayas within GVism.

Other prominent GV groups are:

The Gaudiya Math from which the founder of ISKCON came from.

And other lines which can be called more orthodox GVsim are those that are mostly lines coming from Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's associates like-
Sri Nityananda parivar, Sri Advaita Acharya's (where I took initiation from).
