	International Society for Krishna Consciousness
		The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) is the best-known organization of the religious movement popularly known as Hare Krishna.
		It is a sect of Vaishnava[?] Hinduism which practices bhakti yoga[?] in the worship of Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of the god Vishnu and, according to ISKCON beliefs, his highest form ("the supreme personality of Godhead").
		It was revived in the 20th century in India, and introduced to the Western world by Prabhupada A.C. Bhaktivedanta, who incorporated ISKCON in New York in 1966 and subsequently published translations of the Bhagavad Gita and other scriptures in English and other Western languages.

		Devotion to Krishna is expressed through chant, mainly the 16-word 'Hare Krishna, Hare Rama' chant, representing the names of God.
