This often ties into the <strong>International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)<\/strong>, also known as the Hare Krishna movement, founded by <strong>A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada<\/strong> in the 1960s. Prabhupada brought Gaudiya Vaishnavism (a devotional tradition focused on Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead) to the West, where it resonated strongly during the counterculture era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While many foreigners first encounter Krishna consciousness abroad through chanting the Hare Krishna mantra, reading the <strong>Bhagavad Gita As It Is<\/strong>, or attending ISKCON temples, a significant number eventually <strong>move to India<\/strong> (sometimes permanently or for extended periods) to immerse themselves fully in the devotional life.
