"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."

But when nun take oath, she say that she marry Jesus. Just see below news, recently nun lose the case in Poland. There was a case of nuns in a court in Warsaw, Poland against ISKCON. Noting that ISKCON was spreading it's activities and gaining followers in Poland, a nun filed a case before a Judicial Magistrate praying that ISKCON should be banned because its followers were glorifying a Character called Krishna 'Who was loose in morals, having married 16,000 Gopikas'. When the case came up for hearing the ISKCON defendant requested the Judge to ask the nun to repeat the oath she had taken when she was ordained as a nun. The Judge asked the nun to recite the oath loudly.She would not. ISKCON man asked the Judge whether he could read it out for the nun. The Judge said go ahead. The pledge was in effect that 'she (the nun) is married to Jesus Christ'. ISKCON man said, "Your Lordship! Lord Krishna is alleged to have 'married' 16,000 women. There are more than a million nuns who assert that they are married to Jesus Christ. Between the two, Krishna and the nuns, who are loose characters?" The Judge dismissed the case and allowed ISKCON to go its way.
