Disclaimer: By sharing this video, I am not sharing any personal opinion but just sharing what I watched.
I recently came across this interesting video by a channel : "Soch by Mohak Mangal (transl : Thoughts by Mohak Mangal).
The video talks about the ISCKON : The Krishna Consciousness movement, its origins, how it developed.
Then, it talks about how Swami Prabhupada went to US and helped spread the movement, especially amongst the Hippies during the 1960s and then the connection with the Beatles - 1968 India visit and more.
It makes for an interesting watch. Subtitles could have been better but I suppose still many would be able to understand.
Awaiting for your opinions!

I am for a rational following and not for blind faith in anyone.
Yet this video describes one facet of ISKCON in a nice way.

Yet that misguides some folks at time.
I had a relative who left his almost 11 years ' job under the influence of ISKCON amd even granted them good money !
Frankly he isn't that good as then nor very satisfied with life

I am of the generation that this was very popular here. And I can say I often danced with the Krishnas at airports

The video talks that many airports banned their entry, may be due to the nuisance they could have caused.
