I got this description from the ISKCON.com website:

About ISKCON
The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) was established in 1966 by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (Srila Prabhupada). ISKCON has since developed into a worldwide confederation of 10,000 temple devotees and 250,000 congregational devotees.

Better known as the Hare Krishna movement, ISKCON is comprised of more than 350 centres, 60 rural communities, 50 schools and 60 restaurants worldwide.

The mission of this nonsectarian, monotheistic movement is to promote the well being of society by teaching the science of Krishna consciousness according to Bhagavad-gita and other ancient scriptures.

There is a description about the philosphy of Hare Krishnas, the mantra, initiation, etc here:
http://www.iskcon.com/about/philosophy.html

Interestingly enough, my parents live far away and they are not Hare Krishnas. So, when this marriage was arranged by Hare Krishnas in Vedic cultural style, I did not tell my parents and the wedding invitations listed ISKCON as my 'parents' instead. ISKCON is the name of the organization of Hare Krishnas as it describes above.

There has to be something wrong with me. I read this thread all the way through. I must want to harm myself in some way.
