Do you consider Hare Krishna a cult?

If they subscribe to a certain religious belief that is not widely accepted, then it's a cult. I may be wrong on this one though.
 
cult ( P ) Pronunciation Key (klt)
n.

A religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader.
The followers of such a religion or sect.
A system or community of religious worship and ritual.
The formal means of expressing religious reverence; religious ceremony and ritual.
A usually nonscientific method or regimen claimed by its originator to have exclusive or exceptional power in curing a particular disease.

Cults' veiws change frequently to suit the leader. Religions' veiws stay relativaly the same over time.

Hence "Cult of Personality", some religions aren't anything without the preachings of their leaders and do not survive the demise of the leader.

 
Hare Krisnha are a bunch of white people who want to be Hindus. They can't be Hindus, though, because you can't convert to Hinduism. That's why they become Hare Krishnas.

I went to a Hare Krishna temple in West Virginia one time. They're harmless.
