Hare Krishna movement was brought to west bby Prabhupadji. He was an
excellent scholar. Shrimadbhagvatam is the text they rely on. There is
strong emphasis on vegetarianism. There are over 50 temples of Hare Krishna
in America, several restaraunts usually named Govindas, and many farms.
I have heard about some negative shades attributed to them , but can
not verify them. I went to their temple on Krishnastmi and enjoyed a lot.
There were thousnads of Hindus there (not Hare krishnas). I observe that
they have full support of hindu community here.
