Ranchor Dasa is a disciple of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, and an active part of The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). Ranchor took to ISKCON despite going to a Catholic school where he was not taught about other religions on the grounds that "it would be a waste of time as they were self-evidently false"^{[citation needed]}. He eventually embarked on his own spiritual search.^{[citation needed]}
