According its founder, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami: "Krishna consciousness movement is the most important movement for the upliftment of the human society".

Basically, God consciousness can be achieved with any bona fide system. Prabhupada:

And there is no question of Christian God or Hindu God or Muslim God. God is one. So there should be no difference between the system. According to the time and circumstances, there may be little difference, but really if we can understand God, either through Christianity or through Hinduism or Muslim, that is our profit.

Why then was the Hare Krishna movement founded?

Prabhupada: "And therefore I ask the Christians that Lord Christ says that, "Thou shall not kill," why you are killing? They give some vague explanation. But actually a real Christian is as good as a real Hindu, as a real Muslim-if he follows."

In other words, to give an example to people in general how to be better Christians, better Muslims, better Hindus.
