    "Hinduism" itself is a collection of many traditions and sects, not just one religion. saying that ISKCON is not be associated with Hinduism is like saying Islam should not be associated with the prophet Mohammed!

    ISKCON was created to educate the west about Krisna consciousness so obviously it was based on an older religion. And his devine grace Srila Prabhupada was sent to America to deliver this knowledge specifically because the people couldn't easily "get to the source".

    prahupada plagarized the kalaisantaranopanishad
    he took the hare krishna straight out of a upanishad and
    made a cult upon it
    he had zero pedigree and his cult is now subsumed into the farthest right
    of the vaishnavas, ostensibly the most fascist and rascist of hindu schools

    if you are a woman you can expect to be dismissed or relegated to the kitchen
    iskcon is a horrible cult where you will disappear from the face of the earth

    they join traditional vaishnava sects mostly in india - the contemporary hare krishnas are fucking dupes
