The Hare Krishna movement is a branch of the Madhva-Gaudiya Sampradaya. A disciplic succession of spiritual teachers going back to Madhvacharya 800 years ago. It has roots in the ancient Vedic scriptures of 5,000 years ago.

This Madhva-Gaudiya Sampradaya branch formed approximately 520 years ago in West Bengal, India. The International Society for Krishna Consciousness, which is part of this Sampradaya was founded in 1966 by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, in New York.
