Namaste , hare krishnas.
Here is my one question # to all my iskconITES. Why Iskcon don't accept itself as vaishnawism ? Why hare krishnas says we are not hindus ?
Isn't krishna a hindu god ? Isn't iskcon is a branch of gaudiya vaishnawism ( hinduism ) ? Then what makes you to think iskcon not as a part of Hindu sanatana dharma ?
Besides , iskcon's official site WWW.Krishna.COM is propagating many myths about hinduism such as hinduism is not sanatana dharma , hindus worship demigods , hinduism includes only impersonal bramhan , Hinduism is polytheistic etc.

I request you all to stop this act to defame hinduism and its other gods by spreading myths through krishna.com under the name of vaishnawism ( branch of hindu dharma ) .
Edited : Without any reason , iskcon has labelled itself as a non-hindu . Can we think it as a political attempt to attract non-hindus in Iskcon ? Here I am not offending hare krishnas . I just want to know if this is not reason ,what should be the reason ?
confirmed by hindu scholars :
International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), known colloquially as the Hare Krishna movement or Hare Krishnas, is a Gaudiya Vaishnava religious organisation . Gaudiya vaishnawism is a branch of vaishnawism and vaishnawism is one of the four main branches of Hinduism .
It was founded in 1966 in by Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.Its core beliefs are based on select traditional Indian scriptures, particularly the Bhagavad-gītā and the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam.
It claims their origin from chaitanya mahaprabhu who was a prominent hindu bengal saint and devotee of lord Krishna !
Thank you .Ram Krishna hari
