Krishna Consciousness is an intricate belief system. There are a few core beliefs: Devotees of Krishna believe all beings exist as part of God (Krishna). Because of this, all humanity is family with Krishna as the father figure. Hare Krishnas believe in re-incarnation, where a soul can enter the world in many different bodies after the body’s death.
Second, Krishna Consciousness says that Krishna is all-knowing, omnipresent, and all powerful. He is the sustaining energy of the entire universe and the same god as Allah, Buddha, Jehovah, etc.
For followers of Krishna Consciousness, the Vedas – a collection of holy texts originating from India and estimated to be approximately 3000 to 4000 years old – are believed to contain the Absolute Truth while the Bhagavad-Gita itself, as a literal record of Krishna’s own words, contains the essence of the Vedas.
Those who practice Krishna Consciousness hold devotion, simplicity, and compassion as some of the highest virtues. As a result, one can find ISKON involved in numerous charity projects around the world.
