IMO this article needs something similar to

This article is about the Hare Krishna Mantra. For the Hare Krishna Religion, see ISKCON.

As many people (and as the article itself notes) think Hare Krishna is the name of the religion. Chopper Dave 03:58, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

If we did that it would have to say "For the Hare Krishna Religion, see Gaudiya Vaishnavism", which some people could argue as still being pov as devotees outside of the Gaudiya movement also chant Hare Krishna. But what is popularly meant by the Hare Krishnas is specifically Gaudiya devotees who are well known through their street preaching so I see your point. As it stands all these links are already included in the introduction. I'd vote to keep as is. Ys, Gouranga(UK) 09:05, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Following the above logic, shouldn't we restrict the external links to only those discussing the mantra, and remove the ISKCON links, which can already be found in the ISKCON article? Sfacets 08:29, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Links to Gaudiya organisations (including ISKCON) are still appropriate to the article, I was making the point that we shouldn't start with a disambiguation notice to the ISKCON page as had been suggested. Regards, Gouranga(UK) 20:00, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
