ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) follows the Guru parampara (disciplic succession) of the Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya Sampradaya. This lineage traces back to Lord Krishna Himself, who imparted spiritual knowledge to His disciple Brahma, who then passed it down to Narada Muni, followed by Vyasadeva, Madhva, and ultimately to ISKCON's founder, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
