| | Hare Krishna movement |
 | | The Hare Krishna movement technically "began" about 500 years ago, its inaugurator being Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the 16th-century mystic, scholar and social reformer, who is accepted by Vedic scriptural evidence to be the Supreme God Himself. |
 | | The essential scripture for the movement, the famous 5,000-year-old Bhagavad Gita, spoken by Lord Krsna, God Himself, explains that religious principles, although beginningless, are revived periodically by Him or His authorized representative only, the purpose remaining the same, although due to time, climate and circumstances, the details emphasized may vary. |
 | | Therefore "Hare Krsna" is a cultural, philosophical and religious movement which is intended for the reformation of the entire human society. |
